Well, normaly the Bully can pick on someone else because he's plain stronger (or far "ahead" in some other area).

So, your point is?

Well, Sen cant win, that would mean beating BoxeR (note its all in my fantasy world, i dont care much about chances and stuff)

Also, QQ about TLO too, but i will have to check their matches, the interview implies some really crazy stuff, and TvT is always such a good matchup

i dont understand... whats the big deal with crunches forcefields. Those roaches were close enough to do the same damage as they were without forcefields.Or if all roaches are in the same place, then they take much more damage somehow?
Or if roaches are forcefielded like that they dont even attack?

p.s. idravschuncher g2 and im silver player.

Somehow I don't feel like I read the same Cruncher interview as I really didn't see that much bm. Maybe the over-rated part, but it's kinda hard to argue that Idra isn't arrogant. Perhaps people are annoyed that he find Idra's rage funny? But when dealing with rage, either you let it effect you and rage back/rage quietly or you ignore it- part of ignoring it simply finding the rage ridiculous and therefore funny.

As for the trolling part- if it were a forum, yeah maybe he'd be seen as a baiter. But because Idra unnecessarily loses his cool to cheese- only cheesing Idra on ladder and then playing standard in tournament is more of a head-game thing.

The whole no respect for Idra thing- that largely comes down to how you view Idra's attitude and persona. Many fans enjoy it, many do not. Crunchy clearly does not. I do not, but I do see Idra as necessary part of SC internally- the bad boy of SC2, but as far as a spokeman for esports- never. We need another Boxer. The main thing with this though- given Idra's online bm (real-life, he seems to be fairly decent), fans have to expect not everyone will agree with Idra

I agree the most with tree.hugger and Sky Net's posts- especially worth noting that Idra has trash talked most everyone including the Chill'toss Tyler/Nony.

To me it's straight from the Awesome/ confusing BM
thread in BW section or the Funny opponent quotes from SC2.
Where Idra is the rager spamming 'f-ing noob', but we're getting mad at Cruncher for replying 'lol.'
Honestly, who is 'bming' who? And if Idra really considers 'lol' to be cruel and unusual bm, then he needs to grow thicker skin. But somehow I don't think so. Somehow I think Idra is more than capable of handling the flak from his own bm. (Unless he tilts, but that's his self-created problem.) Somehow I think it's the fans that need to grow thicker skin for their favourite bm'er.

guys, idra doesn't need you to defend his honour, he is not a maiden and you are not an e-knight in shining armour. my opinion is that so long as cruncher backs his talk up with some good results, then its all good. otherwise he's just a big mouth. rivalries and backstories are good for sc2 scene anyway

So stoked for mondragon, so happy to see him do well, was a bit disappointed with zeerax though

Well they dont attack until idra told them to again which was a quite a bit later and cruncher was smart to move his stalkers back out of the roaches 4 range and still hitting them with the stalkers 6 range.

About the value of best of's and tournament wins, and comparisons to other competitive games.
Especially in sc2, where a player might have one matchup they suffer in, ranking of players shouldn't (and doesn't) take into account the "who." Only the record of wins and losses.
Love him or loath him, Idra is a very consistent player, placing well in many competitions, whereas Cruncher is relatively unknown.
Regardless of any individual result between the two, Idra will remain the "better player" until cruncher performs consistently better than Idra in many competitions.

As to the flames, it all adds to the entertainment, so BM aside, it's all good for the esport :D
It's everybody's fault but mine.

Regarding Cruncher...

Okay, I consider myself a very respectful person in general even online, but honestly if somebody called me out like that and called me terrible, and then LOST to me in one of the most prestigious tournaments, I would gloat and troll the other guy like crazy. And I am almost definitely sure most of you guys would do the exact same thing in real life.

If somebody disrespects you publicly and you stomp him in something he cares about, of course you're going to rub it in his face for a little bit. If Idra did not want this, he would not have said what he said in the first place. But he's a big boy and he'll deal with it.

Dear Cruncher you worthless

Idra is 10x times better than you and he has 10x times (if not more) achievments than you. He also has more fans then you, a better sponser then you and i better attitude then you. He has also beaten you 95% of all the games you have played on ladder and in tournaments but still you say that u are a better player then him?

youre just a worthless faggot please enjoy your week in the spotlight becuse later you will still justy be a random noob that cant win shit while idra is making history )

PS i aint even mad

LOL cruncher and mondragon interviews.

cruncher so badass. He just straight up spits the truth, idrA's not even good at this game, unless he practices 14 hours a day, at which point hes competetive, but by no means the best.
White-Ra fighting!

Haha, the idra's fanboys are the worst. In fact, they are the same as idra. Idra treats this match as a walkover, saying his opponent will only 4 gate him, saying he's bad, even still bm'ing between games... Then people wonder why Cruncher saying what he says :D You guys are the most irrational people on earth.
Bm'ing someone then losing to him will obviously have consequences :D

Aww I'm a Cruncher fan now. Such a champion attitude really. That was the most epic, classy, BM I've seen since Much's pylon heart. BM should be subtil, it's about letting the game talk for itself.

For reference:

Before match (and I will be paraphrasing here):

Idra: "I will walk all over this 4-gate cheesing Protoss."

Fanboy reaction: "Ahahahaha Idra is so baller!"

After match:

Cruncher: "In your face, rageboy!"

Fanboy reaction: "HOW RUDE!"

Wait, what? There are people who are mad at Cruncher for his interview?

That's dumb, for reals.
