Looks like Idra has some competition for best in EG now. Hopefully this improves his play even more.

Woop Idra fighting!!! I heard he had a hard time the other night on Ladder, but i know idra was probably just lol'n

Idra only ladders for testing situations and making a lot of extra cash

Plus he hasnt played much recently (probably this month in general) due to other commitements, but he has over a week, to get ready for MLG, which his group looks good for him and i hope he does very well which he deserves. Also don't forget this month without practice he still won the loser bracket pretty darn easily in the IEM Cologne tournament, and is doing ok in the IPL. Lets give the genuis some time to work and dont take his laddering TO seriously.

Since LzGamers surprising switch to zerg. EG just had to get another terran. I'm glad they got the pretty much best available on the market.

I hope this is a motivation for idra to train harder at the teamhouse and become the top notch zerg he was.

EDIT: Although I'm pretty sure idra is going to raaaaaage hardcore against mass hellion openings now. lol

Why? He played 7 games on his stream, he dropped two of them.

The first was against a terran which he lost on the worst possible map in the worst possible position for zerg. He was overthrown by the fucking ridiculous harassment of the terran although he defended it well and stayed on mutalingbling for 25 minutes. He just didn't bother to go hive tech/infestor. Nothing special. He probably chilled the fuck out while the terran had the game of his life.

He dropped the game against Deezer right after the first loss because he played too greedy and tried to fend of a Blink Stalker mass Sentry Push with pure +1 Speedlings. Had he taken the gas on his third a minute earlier he could have had some more infestors and would have been able to hold it with ease. Nothing devastating here either.

4 of the 7 games were zvzs which he won all. Last one was against root catz and it wasn't even close. What really amazed me was how he fended of the speedling allin on taldarim with 15 hach into instant roaches. It was super close but he did it and crushed the second mass speedling push.

I read somewhere that PuMa was associated with eSTRO when IdrA played with them, so I think that they've at least met eachother a couple of times.

The Puma signing makes a ton of sense. Now he has someone to practice ZvT with at a higher level and Demuslim can practice Tvt lol.

You cant count that loss against deezer as he is a well know stream cheater, Idra still can beat him most of the time but with basically map hacks deezer is going to take a game off him every now and then.

That game vs Catz was sick, idra was so incontrol of that match. i dont think there was ever a point where he was any danger in that match. Dealt with that one base infestor with such ease. He only lost about 5 to 8 drones when catz had infestors out and he was so far ahead economically that was small change.
