When Morrow beat Idra at the IEM finals, Idra cried abuse. He said that if Morrow played zerg he wouldn't get past gold league. Idra's fans ate it up. They flamed Morrow on the forums and trolled his fanclub thread, saying he would be terrible as zerg or that he was only good because he abused reapers. Morrow is now one of the best zergs in the world and the scorn of Idra's disciples is mostly forgotten. Before Morrow... well you mentioned Tyler. I'm not sure if you were actually giving Tyler as an example of someone who deserves respect, but in the past TSL, in fact, Idra said Tyler was a terrible player and that he would beat him 4-0. Idra lost 1-4. Memories are short and Idra fans now have a new person to insist is bad and just wins due to imba/cheese. Enjoy all the hater attention, Cruncher.  You have nothing to prove given all the big names you've beaten lately, anyone who says you're bad or a "random nobody" is too lazy to look at your actual results or is just completely braindead. 2-0 vs Kiwikaki, 3-0 vs Fenix, 4-1 vs PainUser, 4-1 vs Sjow, 4-1 vs LzGamer, 4-0 vs StrifeCro, 2-0 vs oGsInca, 2-0 vs CheckPrime, 2-0 vs MarineKingPrime... CrunCher's disrespect reeks of being a petulant child towards someone who has earned/proved his worth as a player over a long period of time. There's a subtle difference. I'm sorry that IdrA makes you so angry ploy, but some of us don't let our (probably rational) dislikes of people blind us to the flaws of others. I never said IdrA's BM is acceptable in any way, it's also rude and unacceptable but CrunCher really went above and beyond for being a massive douchebag. I don't know about you, but for me there's nothing more satisfying in SC2 than getting bmed for no reason, winning and then rubbing it in. If that's childish then take me to Neverland, Peter Pan. And yeah me Pete are going to bm Captain Hook after we kick his ass and make him rage all night. I don't even dislike Idra that much, but sheesh, some of his fans are just the worst... | ||

The game was played on 1.2, so infestors wouldn't have been worthwhile at all. You are once again asserting protoss was "greedy", but protoss was also way behind Ultra/Broodlord would have been worthless? He could have made an even trade (or at least better trades) with any Hive tech army and killed Cruncher off with superior economy. He engaged in horrible spots on the map, his hive tech was way too late, and he made no attempt to punish Cruncher for his absurdly greedy opening (Stargate = > Fast Colossus with early 3rd expansion? LOL) I mean, Cruncher literally had 4 Colossus. You kill those off, all you have are really Stalkers/VRs which are pretty easy to deal with. Ultra/Ling/Infestor/Hydras would have done well, as would have ANY Hive tech supported army. Hive tech works perfectly fine even in 1.2; most Z whine that hive tech doesn't work, but forget that they are sitting on huge economy lead. Idra in general just played horrible G1; anyone with a brain can see that. | ||

Q: So you're enjoying being an unknown, a wild card for once in your life? Hehe, that's pretty neat. I guess you know I love to be the underdog (and obviously I've always been an underdog whenever I play). Thus the situation is quite enjoyable for me. Really? Always? Dude your Mondragon!!! The Brood War bets used to be 90% on you and 10% in the poor bastard that was gona get raped by you. Mondragon Fighting!! <3 | ||

also loving the random forum posts from 3 months ago about wc3 and sc2 comparing it to wow. if people took everything people said completely seriously then idra would be in even worse shape, kinda hypocritical of yall :/ mc smack talks his fair share, idra def does, so what if cruncher does. and also, day9 talked about the phenomenon of idra losing g1, winning g2, and falling apart in g3..... i remember when idra casted a gsl game awhile back and said that he plays WAY better when he knows the game will be tight, having extreme confidence is his achilles heel (IN HIS OWN WORDS). | ||

Such a nice guy. Didnt know him before, but i hope he gets some good results from now on. Would be nice a BoxeR vs Mondragon semifinals, i want to hear his opinion about a match vs the emperor :DAlso, we need zerg in there, and hasu is just too german to be beaten by morrow, so he has to make it. | ||

Get perspective and learn the game. I'm sick of all this nonsensical whining | ||

Bearing that in mind, I really think zergs need to have a get together and find a way to counter the damn 3 base death ball, its not very interesting to watch. I really hope Cruncher faces a good terran, I really, really do. My faverouite part of the interview - 'I'd rather play against Mondragon since he is a Zerg. PvP is insanely annoying to play.' Translation - I'd rather play a Zerg so I can use exactly the same tactic to garner another free win. | ||

Instead, he comes across overly cocky. IdrA is overrated? He's nowhere near being good without playing 24/7? Most people thought IdrA was the better player by far in the series. He fully expected IdrA's strategy in game 2? Then why did he get dominated by it in perhaps the most one-sided SC2 game I've ever seen? He also says IdrA lost game 3 because he had zero units. In reality, he had five roaches stuck in a forcefield trap, unable to fight back against sentries. Most people thought IdrA was the better player by far in the series. By most people you mean hardcore IdrA fanboys and zerg apologists right? | ||
