If this is actually serious, I can't see Cruncher having much success, he relied on a style back when he played which is beyond dated at this point.


I don't understand comments like this. 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.


My example is Cruncher for 1.


Even just before he retired he was still making his way into MLG Championship Sunday.


The announcement of Crunchers retirement happenend on October, 3rd. 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 didn't play at Raleigh at all because he basically went inactive before his officially retired. When he was active he always performed solidly, better than most NA players.

CrunCher was still doing better then most NA players right before he retired. He was in a slump but to say he retired because his "style" was figured out requires a great leap of faith. CrunCher was one of the best stargate users he was one of the first protoss to incorporate Warp Prism and he was using Motherships in PVZ before anybody. I wonder how many people actually watched him play.
None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.

Sickest come back! Probably one of the most talented players out there. At least he was before he retired, even taking games off IdrA with a smile. Maybe he can attempt Code A or something after dominating the mid-low NA GM like desrow did before him? Haha one can dream. Congrats and good luck!

I'm pretty sure that Cruncher can be as successful as he was before if he learns to execute 2 base all-ins. Protoss still has loads of things that can be abused.

I'd love to see Idra crush Cruncher again though.
