StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, July 13th

NOTE:  On the cast I started off saying July 11th I think.  Sorry.  It is for today, so don't let my slip up confuse you.  =)
 
Here we go everyone, I am TheAmazombie and I am back for your StarCraft 2 News Cast for Wednesday, July 13th.

Well, first as a quick note, in case you missed the NASL finals this past weekend, The winner was TSL.Puma with oGs.MC coming in second and Fnatic.Sen taking third.  Congrats to Puma for taking the 50 thousand buck prize.

We had a ton of GSL action over the past few days, so I will cover it quickly:  In GSL Code A semifinals we had Tassadar take down Leenock 3-1 and Puzzle dominate IM.Happy 3-0.  The finals in Code A will be Puzzle vs. Tassadar.  In GSL Code S play we had the ro16 play with NesTea over Ensnare 2-0, Coco over Genius 2-0, Trickster over Clide 2-1, Losira over TOP 2-1, HongUn beat Zenio 2-0, MC over Huk 2-0, Byun over Nada 2-0, and Bomber over Polt 2-0.  Tonight we have Team play with Slayers taking on TSL.  Find those over at gomtv.net.

We had the iCCup Korean weekly.  This week's winner was GuMiho over Taeja 4-1 to take the win.

In other news, Blizzard has announced that they are "linking" some of the Battle.net regions.  LA and NA will now be connected, EU and RU are now connected, and Korea will be connected with Taiwan.  Also announced is that the GSL October finals will not be played in Korea.  Where will it be you ask?  Well, at Blizzcon in Anaheim!  That is right, GSL will be holding a huge event at Blizzcon.  That is a special treat for everyone who has tickets to that event.  Speaking of GSL, we had the announcement that they are sending MVP and DongRaeGu to MLG Anaheim to join MMA and SlayersBoxer.  Speaking of Slayers though, they have introduced their new team member, SlayersEve, the first female programer on the Slayers Team, hand picked by SlayersJessica.  Good luck to her on the future.

TeamLiquid has announced another TL Open this weekend, #19, to be played on Saturday.  Sign up at teamliquid.net if you are interested.

One last thing, GSL has also announced that for MLG Anaheim they are also sending MVP and DongRaeGu to accompany MMA and Slayers Boxer.  I cannot wait to see our foreign heroes taking on such high-end players as MVP and DRG.

That's about all that 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.
