StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, June 22nd

Here we go again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and it is time for your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, June 22nd.

Well, as DreamHack finished this weekend, NASL regular season finishing this week, there is not a lot of major tournament action going on at the moment.  We did have Week 7 play in the EGs Master's Cup this week.  The results from the week were:
Sixjax over EG 3-1, Mouz over Millennium 3-1, Dignitas takes down MYM 3-1, and finally there was Complexity taking on Fnatic, and actually, I could not find the overall results anywhere.  I saw a couple of games on the stream and Complexity was winning, 2-1, but I do not know the final results.

On Monday and Tuesday we had week 2 in the iCCup Korean weekly.  The finals had TSL.Prime taking down Zenex.Puzzle 4-1.  Tune in next week for more Korean action at iccup.tv.

We did have the first day of play in the NASL Open tournament which pits hundreds of players against one another for a chance to not only be in NASL Season 2, but also for a spot in the championship bracket next month.  Out of notable players that have advanced so far, here are a few: Thorzain, Lalush, Hashe, Minigun and Major (have to play each other tomorrow), Inka, Dimaga, NightEnd, Agh, and DeMuslim.  A few notable players that have been eliminated include LZGamer, Namchir, Sarens, PokeBunny, and Destiny.  The replay packs are available currently as there are 2 rounds scheduled for tomorrow.

In GSL news, the Code A brackets have been released along with a statement that Fenix will be attending code A as well from the MLG.  We all thought that Sheth had gotten that spot, but apparently there was some other deal for Sheth.  What this means is that Sheth and Jinro are the only 2 foreigners going code A for July, but Thorzain, Naniwa, and Fenix will be code A come August I believe.  Well, good luck to all of them in Code A as well as everyone playing in the Team League which starts up today over at GomTV.net.

Coming up tomorrow, we have the start of the HomeStory Cup 3.  This is a small 3-day tourney that pits 35 of the world's best players in a LAN format for a piece of the 5000 Euro prize pool.  This should be exciting as it features players like Jinro, Thorzain, Idra, Ret, MC, Huk, and Naniwa. Also starting tomorrow is the first 2 rounds of the GeForce SC2 Pro-AM.  Make sure to keep your eyes open for that as it comes around.  Another thing coming up this weekend is TL Open #17.  HwangSin won #16 a few weeks ago, let's see who can take the win this time.

Also in MLG news, they have announced the "League Membership" packages.  These packages include free HD streams with no-ads, discounts, early sales, and other MLG perks.  The pre-sale starts next week at ten bucks for a 3-month membership or 30 bucks for a full year plus some extra perks.  Check those out over at majorleaguegaming.com.

In team news, there was some issues from the Complexity/ROOT merger a few weeks ago and Destiny has parted ways with the team.  He admits it was his fault that he could not live up to the contract demands.  It is good to hear that they are parting ways without any legal issues.  Good luck to both of the in the future.

Well, that's about all the news we have for you tonight.  Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
