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. 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...

Today compLexity Gaming would like to announce that Abdulaziz "CrunCher" Abed has decided to go inactive from professional StarCraft2 in order to focus on college. He will remain under contract until January 2012 at which time he will be released.
From that I took that CrunCher is essentially going to quit Starcraft II to focus on school, and is only still on coL (as inactive) until his contract expires.

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
idra fans so fuckin delusional

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH.
So I see a title "Cruncher goes inactive." First thoughts: incoming shitstorm.
Then I open the thread and I see... "Best of luck to him.", "He was good" and sadfaces?
What happened to the old "Cruncher is a @#$@#" that happened everywhere? Complexity Gaming hate created because of Cruncher? Cruncher is a terrible abusive player or something like that? What happened in ~4 months or so that made Cruncher become well seen by the community?! WTH?
Good luck to him, but really TL? You guys surely change your face easily :O
...or maybe that's just on LR threads...

He was right about Cruncher exiting the scene though. But he just gave up SC2 for school, which is what most normal people do anyway, so I wish him luck in his school and career

Some of the Idratards matured, or weren't Idratards in the first place.

People calm down and make less emotional posts when shit is 4 months old, and he also proved over that period of time that he wasn't just a cheesy player/that one thing wasn't a fluke.

It doesn't make him clairvoyant to say that.
Cruncher will be back.

It sucks that the community sort of crucified him for beating Idra. He wasn't a very BM guy.
|
This is too bad for complexity. Complexity is going to be missing him as he's one of their better players. But it's good he's focusing on school.
|
Regardless of whether I like the guys play style or not, I would still like to wish him the best of luck in his studies!

best of luck to him, but I honestly saw this coming also. Cheesey play, and all-in's will only get you so far.

Well, Complexity has a lot of Protoss players so it's not a massive loss roster-wise, it is unfortunate though because Cruncher was quite good.
Minigun and Naniwa are still present as stand-out Protoss players on coL, and they still have a strong roster with Drewbie, TriMaster, Catz as well as the aforementioned Naniwa and Minigun.

That's a bummer, far and away cruncher was one of the most consistent up and coming US players, got through into the championship bracket in the past 3 MLGs once through pools twice through the open losers bracket, got into playoffs in NASL, qualified for TSL3. If the shit he got for beating Idra had any kind of bearing on his decision then it's a pretty sad day for Starcraft and homegrown US talent.
