EPTI am upset he was knocked out of TSL3 by CrunCher.
I am not a fan of CrunCher's choice of strategy.
I am not a fan of his interview.
I hope I've expressed my discontent with this Protoss player in a calm straightforward manner.

Although Idra had it coming, I would've liked Cruncher better had he not resorted to SS's before the matches and taking so many shots at Idra at every possible chance. Oh and wth @ testie. | ||

His words about IdrA cannot be said better lol This doesn't even make any sense. CrunCher showed no respect whatsoever and his words about IdrA aren't even true? He's calling one of the foreigners with a lot of consistent success in both BW and SC2 as overrated while he himself is a random nobody with no achievements in WC3? I don't get how people are so in love with CrunCher or the kids who just want to see IdrA rage. | ||

I hate all people who complain about it as BM. Hey, guess what? No gg and "he'll be a walkover" is BM. I enjoy it all the same. ^_^ I think it's about time SC2 had some epic rivalries. After all, Idra left Korea, so no more Idra/Zenio.  | ||

Considering he has a final fantasy x signature on that wc replay forum, I guess he is just a child still I think he has a point though, one of the problems with being a 100% mechanically focused player is that you need to keep your mechanics near a perfect level to win and that takes a lot of practice (though not as much in sc2 as in scbw, but still). A more strategically focused player (like Goody) can get away with less practice while still getting good results. | ||

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 and who knows how far this all goes back as well from ladder games, the interview is a bit cocky but it seems fully justified. People are blowing it way out of proportion as if it sums up Cruncher's who character, we know what Idra is like based over a long period of time, this is just one interview under certain circumstances; I am sure this is the one and only occasion he would disrespect anyone like this. Totally doubt he would do it to any other player or it will become a pattern, if it does he loses me as a fan. | ||

However, Cruncher would do well to not let his mouth run too much, IdrA has beat him in tournaments and on ladder before and will probably do it again. What Goes around comes around, it came back to IdrA and will eventually make its way back to Cruncher. | ||

Clearly, Idra should have won. What we need is a different system. They still play three games, but a panel of judges should decide who the better player is, kind of like figure skating. That will prevent things like this in the future because if judges decide who won the match it will avoid travesties like this in the future and Idra will probably never lose ever again because he is so awesome. Having the result be dependent on who actually wins the game is unfair and I feel bad for Idra for having to lose to people so beneath him. | ||

A more strategically focused player (like Goody) can get away with less practice while still getting good results. He has to be, and indeed anyone else, completely clueless to say that, which isn't exactly surprising because he is just a nobody and didn't play BW. You flat out don't understand the game and zerg if you think he isn't "strategically focused". Goody is a terrible example as you might have a point if strategically focused meant all-innin randomly, which Goody particularly doesn't do and generally does the same builds every game. Terran is also the most flexible race. Note that I'm a Goody fan, so not hating or him or anything | ||

Cruncher isn't BM. He's putting someone who is EXTREMELY BM in their place. If anything he is a hero. At the risk of going off topic that is horrendous logic. If someone steals my car it's ok for me to go and steal their car as it's not actually stealing I'm just putting them in their place? | ||

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. I am intrigued on how Idra's BM is different from Cruncher's BM? | ||
