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

Was waiting for the moronic IdrA fan comment, shame it didn't even wait until the second page


Hardly moronic, just stating facts wasn't he?

Uh go look at all their records. Its cruncher who has been saving their team from embarrassment for the longest time.

Well, he said they have talent. He didn't say that they have a lot of players that win major tournaments.

I have to agree with Ruscour: Complexity has a lot of talent. It remains to be seen what results this talent might achieve.

I love how people like to jump on the oversimplify-the-"complexity"-of-someone-else's-life-into-a- simple- equation: he is going to go to school because Toss is UP.

As someone who has to juggle SC2 with graduate school, a fiancee, family, and teaching, I feel that the reduction of Cruncher's motives to toss be UP is reductive thinking at its finest. There is more to life than SC2, and sometimes, it calls to out us louder than the sound of zerglings screeching in death.

It's not a fact he's quiting because of balance reasons.

trimaster? minigun?


We can't be too sure of trimaster yet as he only had really one good outing. As for minigun, I think that he'd make a big name for himself if he went for MLG, but sadly he hasn't attended any MLGs...


tri was 1 round before bracket i think 3 mlg's before in a row

Cruncher was a very strong player. He clearly showed that with his results. Best of luck to him in his endeavours outside the game.

That really sucks. One of the best NA toss "retiring" for school, makes you appreciate just how hard it is to make gaming a viable option even at the higher levels.

best of luck Cruncher.

When DRG can be in the ace match for coL in the Master's Cup is when they'll "have" him. They need more good players.

He rarely cheeses unless you count going to macro deathball off 3-4 base is cheese. Maybe according to Idra's standard.

i guess you've never played him...or even seen him play when he was apart of ONE.


Naniwa was also known as Onebasewa some months ago

What's your point

Nani isn't the topic of this thread, nor do I mention him in my posts. CrunCher is basically a middle of the road player who isn't even comparable to Naniwa in skill. Just look up tournament results.

Also I wasn't bashing ONE as if they all cheese.. I actually have a few friends that are involved with ItsGosu, so I have no problem with them if that is what youre trying to imply. I guess you didn't know, but that name was made out of sarcasm. Since anybody halfway decent could 4gate their way into Master league in season 1.

So sir, what exactly is your point?


My point is that judging a player on the way he was playing MONTHS ago is stupid

I think not, but protoss never was op anyways.

Can't say it seemed unsuspected because you didn't see much of him, his prime time was kind of TSL3 and NASL.

Kinda sucks for NASL. Probably gonna be 3-4 walkovers since they dont have all the matches played yet


Good luck to cruncher in school, life and hopefully you will return to sc2 someday

Cruncher had very solid runs at the three MLG's he went to, making it to the championship bracket each time.

None said theres more than correlation Just pointed to

Seriously though, i too think that school is more important than gaming, so i hope he gets some manners to himself.
