I don`t know why some seem to hate the guy. Also people talking about the game evolving as if he won`t evolve his own game as well.

Anyway welcome back and goodluck in the future cruncher.

Just to clear this up, for those of you who think his play is one-dimensional, it's not. Any smart player will choose a strategy/playstyle that fits the metagame at the time that will secure him the highest chance of winning. So he played to win and not to entertain - and he was good at it.

In practice, we did do more multidimensional strats but he stuck to what worked best. The same can be said of any player out there. And FYI, what worked best for him got him good results, so I wouldn't hate on him for that.

GL Cruncher, HF bm'ing your new teammates =P I hope you're legal now so you can go to bars at the next MLG.

That would infer they're on atleast close to the same level which is false since IdrA is at a significantly higher level then Cruncher can ever really wish to be at. Though good for Cuncher coming back



Idra may seem good because of his macro, but cruncher is by far the superior player. Sure idra would win vs him right now, but in a year it would go 4-0 cruncher everytime in a bo7. It would take to long to explain, but any player who is very very good knows why i say that.


the flame bait is strong in this one

Most "very very good" players actually fully disagree with that. Cruncher was not a massive mechanics player, nor a very creative player. He is very good at being defensive or early one base all ins, but in the modern SC2 (namely PvZ) just turling will get you a quick loss thanks to modern Zergs like Stephano and 1 base Protoss v Z is all but dead on the pro scene. Even 4 gate (his old go to build) can't kill a Zerg that went hatch first anymore (unless the zerg massively fucks up). Basically why i think he won't succeed is how the game has changed and what the modern styles are.



iirc all cruncher was ever known for was turtle on those 3 base ezpz turtle maps and getting void ray colossus out ;p

the game has evolved so much since then, aggressive roach ling pressures would crush such tech heavy play



Uh...and Flash also turtles on 3 bases and waits for a 2-1 timing attack so what's your point? I know, It's two completely different games but the concept remains the same. It doesn't matter what strategy you use as long as it wins and Cruncher uses a strategy he feels comfortable with.

People dislike him because he has a very cheesy/abusive style that he rarely deviated from. I suspect that there are more reasons but this is one that I identify as most obvious.

Wow I totally thought Destiny was going to lose that game so hard but he didn't.

Props to Cruncher 4 gating and losing on Blistering Sands, then leaving without gg.
