That "relatively unaccomplished Protoss player" beat "one of the best players in the world" in a BoX series. If that isn't an accomplishment, then maybe IdrA isn't one of the best players in the world .

you know what I'm talking about.

Someone should tell Cruncher than when you are laughing at an opponent and saying he's terrible and predictable for being bad mannered then you are being bad mannered yourself and look a tad hypocritical.

What disrespectful player is cruncher, why would he dare saying those lies about idrA. , I know for a fact idra is the better player and Bo5 does not prove anything, idra can rape this easy mode/abuser toss player anyday. Anyways sucks when skill matters. I have no respect for players abusing broken.............fill in the blank

Nah, from what I know OctZerg is still playing SC1, either because of living in Macedonia with a godawful connection/computer, or because he can't win games with lings alone in SC2.

I don't get why everyone is hating on Cruncher. Idra said he would be a walkover, said he was a cheese-only player, and then proceeded to talk shit between games in the lobby. (There's screen shot evidence in the Live Report thread for those who don't want to believe.) If you beat a player who talked that much shit and then lost to you, all the while not showing you any respect, I think you're entitled to a good, hearty laugh when it's over. For chrissake, haven't you guys ever beaten BMers who talk shit on ladder? It's SUCH a great feeling!

If his worst crime is a little "

", I think that's perfectly understandable. If Idra would just act like a professional and treat other people with a little respect, this kind of shit wouldn't happen to him.

Yeah Cruncher isn't a massive douche for this interview, okay. It was amazingly disrespectful from a guy who popped up around the same time protosses figured out how to abuse the game. He's Silver 2.0 and if you can't tell the difference between IdrA's disrespect and CrunCher's disrespect then you are probably lacking in mental faculties.

To the people who somehow think what CrunCher said was warranted please realise that IdrA has proved over many years how good/consistent of a player he is. CrunCher in a nobody in WC3 and appeared out of nowhere here and is super cheesy on ladder as well, IdrA was extremely rude with how he put it yes I agree but CrunCher is being just ridiculous with this interview and all of you are letting your anti-IdrA emotions get in the way of appraising CrunCher.

we defend idra because of what we see from him frequently. Not to mention this was patch 1.2.2...

I'd like to see cruncher try and do that voidray collosi stalker ball against a couple infestors... 1 fungal will hit 3 collosi, 5 voids, and 6-8 stalkers. 47x3 + 47x5 + 47x7 = ? i'm busy with my midterm paper and just taking a break so i wont waste my time with that

but it's a lot haha. Just a couple infestors in that game 1 would've made it a joke. And game 2 just showed how much of a better player idrA is. Prior to idrA's attack, when both players were just macroing, IdrA had 112 supply to Cruncher's 58 supply.

people like me defend IdrA because he's clearly the better player but there was no counter to voidray/collosi/stalker deathball in patch 1.2.2.

the forcefields in game 3 were sexy tho so he deserved to win that game. however, Game 1 and 2 displayed the skill gap between IdrA and Cruncher.

in an ideal world void of imbalances and solely based on skill, IdrA would've won 2-1.

grats to Cruncher for his 15 minutes of fame though.

Cruncher won me as a fan for being straight up honest dude without rage and having respect.
His words about IdrA cannot be said better lol

Cruncher has won me over as a fan. Even though his play wasn't as creative in the games vs Idra as they usually are on his stream, it was still awesome to see Idra rage

"Idra is extremely overrated and arrogant. If he isn't practicing 24/7, he is nowhere near being a good player"

Incredibly disrespectful coming from a nobody. Considering he has a final fantasy x signature on that wc replay forum, I guess he is just a child still

Cruncher isn't BM. He's putting someone who is EXTREMELY BM in their place. If anything he is a hero.
