People only thought he was bad because after he qualified for TSL Idra said he was trash and what Idra says tends to stick for some reason. Even after Cruncher beat Idra himself, Mondragon, went 3-2 with Naniwa, beat players like QXC, Ensnare and Darkforce in NASL, made it into pool play in MLG... | ||

They can either sign with a pro organization out of high-school, forfeit NCAA eligibility, and get a cash bonus (which can be millions for high high picks), or go to college on a full ride. For the blue chip guys, there is no decision at all.....if they sign and get 250,000K, they can always go to school and use that money to pay for college later on. The situation for gamers is more similar to a late round pick, who is getting little or no signing bonus. By the time that their career is over, they may be saddled with other debts and responsibilities that make going to school at the age of 23-26 much tougher than it would have been at 18-19. So study part-time while you gain experience and working your way through other jobs. That is the sacrifice you make if you want to do anything seriously, any sport, any hobby, any creative art you want to master. No passion? It's okay, you can just study and become a cog in the machine. | ||

I doubt anyone is gonna sit on their deathbeds all like 'Man I wish I never had all that fun doing that awesome thing.' Exactly man. More people should be thinking like you. Cruncher is not even 20. The world is his oyster, he can try and fail at anything he wants. Being a progamer is exactly the kind of thing you try when you are at this age otherwise he will regret it forever. On October 04 2011 12:43 Zorkmid wrote: So what chance does someone without one have? Quite good actually, since most companies these days would rather higher unqualified help since they can pay them less. And to your earlier post I'll say hahaha. OK then. You know exactly what I was able and not able to do with my degree right? Just because I was unwilling to sell my life and liberty to a soul sucking entity like IBM (for which I worked for in my paid experience year) does not mean I was unable to translate my degree into a decent living. And how do you know how I live? I bet that besides the money (which, I'll tell you a secret, you can't spend it once you are old or dead) your "career" sucks more than my job. I work exactly 8 hours a day, not a minute of overtime ever, have full health and dental, and (the big one) I get 5 weeks vacation a year. You show me one of your bachelor degree positions like that outside of academia. And not to mention that once you are climbing the corporate ladder, there are 100 other guys right behind you just waiting for the slightest mistake to take your spot and knock you down. | ||

Why did we boo him on the MLG stage... ? why ? Who is Idra? Why would we bash a person, that is, a professional player who helps our community just to show our support for someone else? Maybe, if we acted like humans with brains and emotions and unlike animals and showed him some support he wouldn't have left our community as easy. Why is Idra getting so much support? he would do what he did to cruncher to each and everyone of us if he didn't "like" us or the race we play... Lets build a community that praises the best, most hardworking people and punished the unappreciative. | ||

Lets build a community that praises the best, most hardworking people and punished the unappreciative. This man right here speaks the truth. This is most likely why Cruncher quit, because all the vitriol from one person (Idra) was channeled by a big part of this so called community. We should all be a bit ashamed we let this happen. | ||

also, if hes quitting because IdrA fans poked fun at him and IdrA doesnt like him, then he doesnt deserve to be a progamer. if you cant handle being criticized, your name doesnt deserve to be spotlighted. | ||

Its only Naniwa and the rest are truth be told quite mediocre pro players with no significant achievement in tournaments. | ||

I was there at MLG Anaheim and ppl boo Cruncher when IdrA was the guy who trashtalked and walked ago. Idk why ppl really like that dick and bm Cruncher for no reason. Just b/c Cruncher beat their Zerg's heroes and playing Protoss, so they're being that bad. | ||

Idra said once the balance swung out of Protoss' favor, Cruncher would make a quiet exit, and here it is. <3 This is the reason why I hate majority of IdrA fans - they are even bigger douchebags than IdrA himself. Oh well, birds of a feather.... All the best to cruncher for his college. I'm quiet sure he has made the right decision. | ||
