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



aahahahahaha. I may be alone on this but I've never really thought of Cruncher as a good player...

it was and still is sad to see so many idra fanboys discrediting cruncher all the time, he's a very good player and seems like a friendly guy.
idra was just mad as usual and needed to blame something/someone for his own failures. in that case it was cruncher, and he definitely didnt deserve all the hate he received from idra fans.
hope he'll come back someday when he finished school, and take out the angry zerg once again.

I am a bit bitter about this subject, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

But I'll say that I went to university (and a pretty prestigious institution too, namely the university of toronto) and college before that, got good grades and good experience, and all I have to show for it is a lot of debt. Most certainly a waste of time and money, not a doubt in my mind.

Unless you go to Harvard or some Ivy league school with really small class sizes and almost guaranteed employment at graduation (in which case you are rich anyway), then you will be entering the workforce at the same time as another 200 - 400 people in the same field just from your school, in just that year. And unemployment is on the rise right now. Think about that. And I'm not talking about English majors. I'm in computer science.

80% of the people that graduated with me and that I went to classes with are now unemployed (and can't get a decent job because they are overqualified) or employed in an unrelated field which they most of the time hate being in.



I just want to say that I finished my undergrad Computer Science at University of Birmingham three months ago, and I and almost all my friends who haven't done masters/whatever are in related jobs. I'm not in the best job ever, but it's reasonably well paid, and it is a graduate software development role. And there was no shortage of them around here.

Uni has paid off well for me. I don't want to generalise, but the market for compsci (in the UK at least) is perfectly fine from what I could tell.

Thought the same thing when I read the news. I somehow doubt he'd be going back to school if he really was successful now. Bad / Medium results (for being a progamer) are not the most solid thing to base a risky career on. So it sure is a good decision. Good Luck in the future.

good choice. I support any progammer going back to school over playing. the long term return on investment is always better.

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?


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


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.


I never really saw him as bad mannered so not sure what that last sentence was referring to.

Cruncher is a good example of how terrible the SC2 community is at times, IdrA's sheeple have had it in for him since the moment he outplayed their favorite Zerg. In the end it's a loss for NA, one of their best Protoss.

And to top it off, it has to be somebody with the nick "AnalThermometer" who reminds them of reason. :>

Anyways, I wish Cruncher well for his school and I also hope that col can pick up SaSe, supporting him in Korea through the partnership with MVP. The non-Korean scene definitely lacks more dedicated players of the type of SaSe.

He beat Idra using an imbalanced strategy, you can't get much more BM than that.

I think that much like MC he pretty much rode the wave of imbalanced protoss. 2 base colossus, 3 base colossus void ray, nothing else ever came out of him.

Good luck with school/university to Cruncher, and I hope we won't see him again in SC2, unless he changes up his style.

Apparently anything that beats idra is imbalanced.

Trust me, his fans told me this.

Looks like CrunCher is taking a break from professional Starcraft 2, in order to focus on school. The post on the complexity website makes it seem as if he is leaving the team in January!

Best of luck to him! He definitely made a splash on the scene.

Read the post here:

http://www.complexitygaming.com/news/3173/


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.


LOL, really? Any professional career will make him a MUCH higher salary than he could ever make gaming. If you're concerned about long-term finances then college is a much safer bet than being a progamer.
