His honesty is appealing. A lot of people can rage at his playstyle or this and that but at the end of the day he is playing in the Round of 16, so good on him. Enjoy your time in the spotlight Cruncher! | ||

This is a gem from cruncher Idra is extremely overrated and arrogant. If he isn't practicing 24/7, he is nowhere near being a good player. Relatively unaccomplished protoss player calling one of the best players in the world, who has proven his ability time and time again, overrated? ell oh ell. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but I think he should wait until he wins an actual event before he talks like that. He's being just as rude as the player he is criticizing. | ||

People are saying "cruncher" shouldn't talk like that, but IdrA speaks the same way of his opponents when he himself has consistently performed at a mediocre level at best. The double standards of IdrA fans never ceases to amaze me. They love it when he BM but when he gets BM people say it's "too much" or "IdrA is still better". As far as I can tell Morrow may end up being a better than zerg than he is if he continues to progress. | ||

Game 1 WAIT FOR 5 k MINERALS 200 food then a move LOLLLLL. And you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Or you're just trolling. | ||

I still don't like the guy and probably wont watch his games or cheer for him as I have nothing to learn from watching his play, but I respect him as a player and good luck to cruncher for the rest of the tournament. | ||

All the games this weekend were amazingly epic. Although I weep a little tear at that screenshot of the nuke almost landing in Nada vs. TLO game 1. If that ghost had only lived a few more seconds... | ||

Mondragon has the right attitude, and his games were truly a display of understanding the game. He has won over a fan, and I wish him the best in the tournament. | ||

Instead, he comes across overly cocky. IdrA is overrated? He's nowhere near being good without playing 24/7? I think that IdrA is very overrated and always has been. Everyone agrees he's a pretty good player--he usually makes it a few rounds into tournaments, but he rarely goes all the way. He's always been a one-trick pony: he's very good at macro, and thinks that the rest of the game is "luck". Despite this, he keeps talking himself up, and people keep buying into him. Most people thought IdrA was the better player by far in the series. Yes, that is pretty much the definition of overrated.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? a) You apparently have not seen very many SC2 games, not even in the TSL (cf. either game of OgSMC vs. Ciara).b) Cruncher already answered your question--he expected the general strategy: he wasn't familiar with the details of timings and, yes, he ended up getting crushed. I'm not trying to take away from Idra's victory in that game--it was an impressive performance, but your rhetorical question is irrelevant. 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. You're really stretching for things to criticize, aren't you? IdrA had much fewer units than he needed to hold the attack. Yes, he had more than Zero. Zero was an exaggeration.I totally understand your taking a dislike to cruncher from this interview, but your post goes overboard in the other direction. | ||

Even more unfortunate when Protoss don't appreciate that they still have a fair advantage in the match-up, given the metagame right now. I think he is warranted being somewhat of an asshole if you look at idra's interviews/manners towards Cruncher. Makes TSL more interesting too! | ||

I prefer to ignore "warrant" in being an asshole - if someone is a jerk to you, and you respond in a classy way (rather than sinking to their level) it makes you look much better. I agree that trash-talking makes games interesting, but I prefer friendly trash-talking and not this venomous stuff. Good point, though. | ||

People blow Idra's "rage" way out of proportion... venting a little frustration or speaking your mind is not a very big deal, and Crunchers lolitrollu attitude is painful to read. He really seems like a complete chode more so now than even before. Gloating his wins of a WC3 replay site with screenshots from the lobby as members of another community site shit on "Idra fanboys" as he caters to his own... the whole thing is pathetic. No matter which player you like more, the lolinternet instigation on forums is more annoying to scroll past than it is good for anything. | ||
