On a more serious note, I can't imagine how hard it must be to be a progamer while in college. Last night on RedBull LAN QXC said a little about how hard it is and how "life basically sucks" trying to balance the two.

Good luck to Cruncher even if I lost 3 times to his cannon rush cheese on the ladder!


Lol fucking right. Idra said once the balance swung out of Protoss' favor, Cruncher would make a quiet exit, and here it is. <3

Quitting for school and quitting cause you're not good anymore are 2 separate things...

Really guys?

He quit because of school not because he ¨wasn´t riding the P OP wave¨ or whatever you guys want to believe.

He made it pretty far through the open pools at MLG last 2 or 3 MLGs. Kid is good, deal with it

Unless he's got a good chance of getting a masters degree and a high paying career extra schooling is a waste. Good luck to him but I think he might be making a mistake.

Pretty sad news, I don't know why people would talk trash about him leaving. I wish him the best of luck in the things that he pursues.

Wouldnt say its out of their favor...its just less in their favor. Honestly, he was a pretty decent and he could've only gotten better. But i guess now there is one less person for idra drama (even though its a guilty pleasure lol)

GOOD LUCK in the future, CrunCher!

actually its the same when he would have won mlg or would be in code s
i bet he will not quit.

it is a smart decision to quit when you realize that you are not good enough.
and that deserves respect.

What a shame! Cruncher is pretty darn good.
What is going to happen with him and NASL?

I bet he's already played all of his games for the league, they'll just cast them in a month like nothing happened.

Because that is the only reason to get an education, right?
No one would actually want to learn something or get a degree enabling them to get a job/life style that they enjoy. No, we all want to get as much money as we possible can.

Where are you guys getting all this from? He is simply concentrating on school. That is all the article says. Plus it does not say anywhere he might not come back.

Not good enough? He made it in pool play from the open bracket in the last MLG. By your standards most of the GSL Code A players should just quit because they are not good enough to get in Code S...

Because being able to make a reliable living for a lifetime is a mistake. Wait..

No, I think Cruncher has his priorities straight.
