Looks like CrunCher is taking a break from professional Starcraft 2, in order to focus on school. The post on the complexity website makes it seem as if he is leaving the team in January!

Best of luck to him! He definitely made a splash on the scene.

Aww, that sucks. He was doing really well. Always a shame to see a player like that leave the scene.

Not that big of a loss for coL though, they're not exactly lacking for talent.

What a shame! Cruncher is pretty darn good.
What is going to happen with him and NASL?

Don't forget DRG and all the other MVP members through the partnership they have.

Yeah I wonder that too, I hope he does well does well in school!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Wow first person to actually quit a top team to focus on school. (I think, correct me if I'm wrong)

We can't be too sure of trimaster yet as he only had really one good outing. As for minigun, I think that he'd make a big name for himself if he went for MLG, but sadly he hasn't attended any MLGs...

Not to mention the Koreans that are fighting under their banner from team MVP. Anyway that's too bad, but it seems like he is only taking a break and should be back to training once he finished school.

Looks like IdrA was right about Cruncher falling off the scene... lol...

On a more serious note, I can't imagine how hard it must be to be a progamer while in college. Last night on RedBull LAN QXC said a little about how hard it is and how "life basically sucks" trying to balance the two.

Good luck to Cruncher even if I lost 3 times to his cannon rush cheese on the ladder!

Trimaster remains a question mark. He did a fantastic job at the most recent MLG but we have to see if hes going to remain a consistent force. Looking forward to seeing more of him but all we can do right now is call him a potential.

No offense to Minigun but he hasnt done much. I follow the SC2 scene pretty closely and the only thing I really know of him is that he has a feud with IdrA and hes good friends with destiny. Other than that..

On topic: Best of luck to cruncher. Although I wonder what this means for his NASL run.

Lol fucking right. Idra said once the balance swung out of Protoss' favor, Cruncher would make a quiet exit, and here it is. <3
