Hi. A little bit about me: I use to play WC3 for a few years, and consider myself a semi-pro, attended 2 WCGs USA, 2 Blizzcon Regionals, and 1 Blizzcon event and winner of a Zotac Cup. I am now moving onto SC2 as a Protoss player.
Yup cruncher you should add that to your stream description this will really increase your stream viewers right now you are the Highest rated streamer on TL that I know of
I want that u send that replay where Boyardee called u, besides other things, a "Damn Nigger" to Blizzard. That's just not appropriate. I want him banned with his 2800 points account. Thanks for streaming btw. . But please report this guy, this is just not acceptable and shouldn't be tolerated.
this guy needs to be featured his micro is incredible and needs to be recognized...in my opinion hes better then most of the a class players in gsl at the moment
this guy is an absolute BOSS protoss. teamliquid needs more high level protoss streams since usually i see mainly zerg and terran please feature this guy, he deserves it!
feature this stream! this guy is great to watch, he never gets angry, its a good thing to have, makes it easier to lose myself. might rub off on even more if he was featured! did i mention high level play?
would be nice if you'd get something else than livestream going, so we can enjoy your stream in better quality (own3d or justin.tv with xsplit as broadcasting program should work fine).
WOW, what a win over fnaticFenix. Congrats. will definitely keep an eye out for this stream and player. thank you for such a great series to be able to watch and learn from. Cannot wait to see you in the TSL.
congrats on getting your stream featured bro, i forget the mod name of your channel but tell him WAZZZZZUUUP cus i know i wont be able to talk anymore with all the viewers you will get
Keep up the good work. Like it when players talk about their decisions during the match like LiquidTyler does. A lot more enlightening to watch than "just another pro" streaming with their trance music.
Great stream, Great players GL in TSL Cruncher prove your haters wrong. (Oh yes you've got haters, but that ok cuz that means you are doing somthing right )
Im new here and would like to watch your stream.... it seems quite laggy on ustream... maybe you can put it on justin.tv, those guys seem to be quite good!
I love the stream, but you should consider moving the stream to justin.tv. They seem be much more stable (and often higher quality streams too, but that might not have to do with the site).
You need to be more conscious of your language if you're streaming publicly. Saying "gay gay gay gay" a million times during your stream is pretty bigoted language. Then banning someone for politely stating you should be aware of your use of language for something like this by an admin is pretty disgusting.
Great stream, love watching you play today. I like your macro oriented play, but you don't let easy opportunities to kill a greedy FE by the opponent pass you by. Great decision making, solid play, covering your bases. Not cheesy gimmicky play. Love it. Thanks for the stream!

Hey Cruncher, I'd love to moderate for you! I watch your stream as a Diamond level Protoss and really appreciate everything you've taught me! I'd love to return the favor.
You don't have to worry about me being immature, I'm 19 years old and I have moderated/managed jtv chats, as well as other chats for over 2 years. So I'm extremely fluent in the commands.
I know what is considered acceptable in chat, as well as what isn't. I'm also not posting requesting moderator-ship as some power-hungry child. I sincerely wish to return the favor you've been giving to all of us.
My stream name = Bkennedy.
Thanks for the opportunity pal, look forward to helping you!
your stream is my fav after sheth's and white-Ra's
too bad i performed so bad vs you on EU. Would love to see you more on EU, since the quality is higher on top MMR and youll get better practise probably, you could pretty much do it 50/50, even though youre not GM in EU (yet).
Finally we play a decent race, not as in WC3 (i was undead) :/

Cruncher I'm not sure why I was banned from your stream chat. Anyways part of enjoying watching streams is so I can socialize with the other people and cheer the gamers on. Hope I get unban soon. Account on Justin.tv is Ketchuppy
Love you as a player CrunCher, think you have a lot of potential to be one of the best NA protoss. That being said, while watching the stream today it was extremely obvious that you were stream listening. I understand that this may or may not of been on purpose. I personally listen to streams while playing all the time. I'm only in Diamond so it's not really related, but I would bet you never intended on this. An apology would look extremely professional on your behalf. IdrA acted like a child and I believe you are the bigger man here.
Keep on playing dude, dont think there was anything huge to indicate a streamcheat in that game against Idra. You should upload the replay to make it more clear.
You are a very solid North American Protoss player, and I wish you luck with anything you do.
But know this. I moderate for 10+ Grandmaster NA and EU pros. I know, as well as about 5,000 of IdrA's viewers (guessing 10K weren't paying attention to chat) for a fact that you were in IdrA's stream during your entire game. I have proof that you were in there, but not proof that you stayed there for the entire game. I wont make that mistake again. Its very possible that you pulled up his stream to catch him queuing, but i have no clue as to why you would of stayed on his stream. With all the drama between you and Greg, i cant say i really blame you for trying to piss him because you like to get rises out of people, because after-all, this is just a game.
But in reality, there are hundreds, if not thousands of gamers around the world making an honest living off professional gaming. I have a feeling that you wont be on his stream for a long time after this recent incident, but know i will be watching all the streams i moderate. And some of the bigger names i moderate for i dont have listed on my signature.
You are good enough of a player that you dont need to hurt your name and reputation due to stream cheating.

My rant is over, and good luck at whatever you do
Ladder games are serious business!. Nearly as serious as moderating streams. :D
Just saying, there is no use in doing this on ladder because it only hurts a players reputation. Cruncher is a fine player, and several online and LAN tournaments have banned players such as CombatEX and Deezer from ghosting on players streams. Cruncher played very well in the TSL! No reason to risk his reputation just to piss off IdrA.

It can be serious business when Blizzard decides to take rankings for Blizzcon or given GomTV uses ladder for qualifying, other organizations could too. it would be quite interesting if this all got to Blizz ears and they decided to ban his Batlenet account, because now, getting to grandmasters is not so easy, he would be stuck in Masters for a while.

Politician: "It's true that I hired prostitutes to come to my hotel room, but I didn't have sex. No one can prove that I did anything wrong. Those girls were just hanging out."
Cruncher: "It's true that I was logged in to his stream while I was playing against him, and information about what he was doing and saying was being transmitted to my computer. But I didn't look at it or listen to it! I just like to be logged into people's streams when I'm playing them."
I guess everyone will draw their own conclusions. The fact is that he very well might not have cheated, but whether he did or not, he certainly put himself in a very embarassing and stupid situation.

You can't prove either of your examples did anything wrong, and they should not be judged if no direct evidence exists. The only reason the two real-world examples get it trouble is because of stupid media hype. Give it a rest, it was a stupid ladder game and you can't prove anything.
You should instead flame Idra for saying someone is a waste of life. It is the worst insult i have ever heard and I'm glad he got banned and is now acting like a child on twitter.
Sick sick Penix/charglot/HT/Archon build last night vs CatZ. If you read stream page please enlighten me on BO. Oh BTW 6-1...You may want to find a better competitor LOLZ.
Hey man i just wanted to congratulate you for your performance at MLG. I'm really sorry about the hand shaking incident those guys in the crowd and idra are fucking assholes don't let it get to you!
