He can't just, you know, learn the new metagame like every other player had to do? i agree with diamond. i've played cruncher a couple times on ladder very recently anyways, and he's really not that great. he played a very abusive style that just doesn't work anymore vs zerg specifically. can't see him having any success. | ||

He never had big results and the only reason he is highlighted for is pretty much his win against IdrA in the TSL 3. Besides his his Ro8 appereance there, he got pretty much stomped in everything else (NASL, MLG). Additionally his playstyle wasn't that too effective anymore back then and today it's just outdated. | ||

Cruncher was decently successful in all 3 matchups, what style are you talking about here? And he never disappeared because of his quality of play, he quit for school at a time when he was still doing fairly well. He was a rising star who never got the respect he deserved because IdrA had a vendetta against him. I think these days people are less prone to eating up half the BS IdrA comes out. Just wait and see how well he does this time around. | ||

He has better results than most NA Protoss players though. Perhaps 4th after Huk, Kiwikaki and TT1? He's not really a worthwhile pickup for Complexity given they're signing guys like Ganzi but his results are better than most NA players. | ||

His last appearance at the MLG Championship Sunday was Anaheim, which was in July. (and he lucked his way into pool play there, with PvP and one PvT vs merz, who has a trerrible TvP) | ||

 ? He might be really bad now for all we know O.o, but if he still played while studying, he might be able to pick up. I doubt he'll be as big of a name as he was (which surprised me in the 1st place back then), but I guess time will tell | ||

What examples can you provide of players who rely on a certain type of play and disappear entirely when it no longer works? The overwhelming majority of players just adapt like everyone else and stay about where they always were. BITBYBIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
