Welcome everyone to your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, July 20th. I am TheAmazombie so let's get started.
In huge news to start the cast coming out of Korea, the NASL winner Puma has left TSL. Not only did he leave TSL, but we have confirmation that he left TSL to join none other than the foreign team Evil Geniuses. Puma is an extremely high-level terran player and if you have not watched them, check out the finals from the NASL between Puma and MC. There has been a bit of controversy surrounding this as it appears the EG did not talk with TSL management or coaches at all, but went directly to Puma with offers. There has been some flack from that, but as of right now they has not done anything illegal, so all is fair.
There was not a ton of stuff going on at the moment, but we did have the finals for the first set of iCCup Korean Weeklies. The finalists were NsHS.Jjajki who took the final series from IM.YongHwa 4-1. 3rd place was ST.Curious with fourth being NsHS.Sage.
In other news, I covered this some on yesterday's Weekly Edit, but in case you missed it, the Korean team Fou was acquired by FXOpen. They are not two teams, they are one team with two management divisions. They have also announced that they are looking to expand the roster and add some new players. A lot of news coming from FXO these days.
In other news, we have the announcement from MLG that there will still be 2 streams for the Anaheim event. Tastosis will not be able to make it this time though. One stream will be the normal Day9/DJWheat combo. The second stream will be casted by none other than HuskyStarCraft and Mr.Bitter. Congrats to them and I hope it all goes well this time.
Also, this weekend we will have another TL Teamspeak Open. This time it is #20. Tune in to TeamLiquid on Saturday for those matches.
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.
