I wonder if EG pay for coverage of their players?

Idra is showing some very solid, patient, inspired play. Particularly against Terran, he has been using his ling muta to get beautiful positioning and engagements. At the same time, hitting his transitions and making really wise tech choices and composition switches. How he is using his units to buy time, is making everything come together really nice. Also, Idra hasn't been doing much overlord spotting, yet seems to have defenses in just the right places at the right time, otherwise known as "star sense"

I'm wondering what changed for him, it seems he's cleaned up some of the flaws in his play. Perhaps, EG's growing lineup of strong terrans has helped him. I've always felt like EG has several great protoss players as well, but they don't seem to get the results they should. I've been watching a lot of EG players stream recently, something has changed on their team. It's like every player has improved in the last month. It's great to see Idra doing so well, and playing so calmly and clearly. Hope to see more of this from him and the whole EG lineup. Get those results EG!

Game 3 Taeja - Crank

00:00 Metropolis, Crank spawning 9 o clock, Taeja spawning 3 o clock

02:00 Taeja opens barracks with one refinery

03:00 Crank's probe gets in, sees gas, can't get out with supply depot block, probe dies, Crank once again opens two assimilators, two in each

04:00 Taeja sees everything in Crank's base with SCV, Crank skips zealot but no ebay block

04:30 No expansion yet from Taeja, Crank drops his, Taeja drops bunker at front, Taeja doing 1 1 1

06:00 Crank up to three gate robo, Taeja hasn't expanded, loads up medivac with marines and moves out with hellions on ground

07:00 Hellions reach natural but are pushed back by stalkers, dropship goes around, drops just outside vision on the natural

07:30 Marines kill a few probes while hellions go for main but forcefield blocks main

08:00 now hellions go into main, cleaned up but 13 probes total have been killed as well as a sentry, Taeja building two CCs behind aggression

08:40 Crank pushing up for counterattack

09:15 Taeja abandoning his natural to the counterattack with a few stalkers, sentries and an immortal

10:00 Taeja now contained with three orbitals on one base, has tanks in main base, marines drop behind the protoss army, forcing it to retreat

10:30 Crank takes third, Taeja reestablishes natural

11:00 Taeja drops Crank's third and does some damage

Exactly my thoughts. All the staying up and buying the pass were worth it due to IdrA's awesome play. Just sad he lost to ViBe.
