Here we go everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, July 14th.
Very early this morning our StarCraft 2 day started with the GSTL as Slayers took on TSL. Slayers won the first 2 team leagues, but so far are not off to a hot start as they fell again to TSL 4-2 with Ryung taking 2 games for Slayers and Revival taking 1 game and SangHo taking the other 3 for TSL. Although everyone was hoping to see her, Slayers did not field their newest member Eve. Maybe next time guys! As I am recording this, the first match in the team leagues for this morning has just ended with FXOpen taking on Fou. I guess all I can say is that at least it was not another all-kill. GuMiHo took out Slog, then took out Moonan, then killed Oz, but then FXO took a game. This time it was the hero QXC as he took down GuMiHo by roasting over 100 workers with hellions. Unfortunately the pride did not last long as Choya takes down QXC for his team. Fou takes the series 4-1.
Today we also had the start of the IPL season 2. The first match was Idra taking down Drewbie 2-1. Next we had Minigun taking down DieStar 2-1. The third match was Fury taking on Moonan and Fury was just outclassed in his TvT by Moonan who took the series 2-0. The finals match of the night was Tarson taking on Vibe. Tarson put together some good battles, but fell to Vibe 2-0.
Here is a quick update on the After Hours Gaming League (AHGL.tv) after 1 full week of play we have Amazon on top 1-0 followed by Dropbox, Zynga, and Microsoft each with a win. Next we have Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Yelp coming in with loses after 1 full week. Week 2 is being broadcast right now, so I will have those results as they become available.
In other news, TeamLiquid has announced that they are hosting a "Player's Lounge" next door to MLG Anaheim for players and media to chill and do interviews. Thanks TL for that! Also in big news, there is an announcement that SK Gaming out of Germany has struck a deal with oGs where the players Nada and MC will play for team SK Gaming when out of Korea and for oGs when in Korea. I cannot wait to see SK.MC at a tourney soon!
Also, Dreamhack has released number from the Summer tourney with 1.5 million unique views over the weekend and an average peak of 62,000 viewers at a time between all streams. They also streamed a total 17,300 hours for the entire event. Congrats to DreamHack and the entire community for making the event a true eSports milestone.
Well, don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
