StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, August 28th

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, August 28th.

It was championship Sunday on the East Coast of United States with MLG Raleigh.  We went into today with Koreans guaranteed 4 of the top 6 spots and a lot of strong foreigners in contention.  For the championship brackets semifinals we first had Coca take on Puma.  While Puma is one of the favorites to take the entire tourney, he fell to the might of Coca 2-0.  The other match was Bomber, the other favorite picking apart DongRaeGu in an easy 2-0 victory.  For the winner's bracket finals we had Bomber, in two very fast games, make Coca look outclassed 2-0.
Now, for the loser's bracket play from today.I will give a rundown of the earlier rounds:
Machine over InControl 2-1, Hero over Moonan 2-0, DeMuslim over Ret 2-1, TriMaster over Haypro 2-1.  Next was Rain over Machine 2-0, Hero over Sheth 2-0, DeMuslim over Trickster 2-1, and TriMaster over Idra 2-1. 
Next was Sjow taking out Rain 2-0, Hero over KiwiKaki 2-0, Nada over Select 2-0, and Huk over Noblesse 2-1. 
This set up Sjow falling to Hero 2-1 and Nada tearing through Huk 2-0.
For the next semifinal round DongRaeGu took out Hero 4-3, and Nada showed the heart of a champion as he took down Puma 4-3.  This brought on a brilliant moment where after his victory Nada came out of the booth and scream at the crowd "I am Nada!"  It was a great moment to see.
The last two loser's bracket rounds were the great Nada falling to DRG 2-0, and Coca eliminating DRG 2-1.  The finals were then set with Coca trying to come back in the extended series against Bomber.
These were some close matches, but in the end our champion is ST.Bomber in a 4-1 victory over SlayersCoca. 
Congrats to Bomber for dominating nerds all weekend.
With his third place victory, this means that DRG has finally sealed a Code S spot.  I am assuming that Sjow will receive one of the Code A positions as he is on his way to Korea anyway.

The only other news of note today was the release of the next 5 player names for the NASL season 2.  Today we had Select, Rain, Moonan, Axslav, and Morrow.  Only 15 more players to be announced within the next few days.

Coming up Monday morning are the GSL Code A finals as MarineKing will try to get back into Code S, but his challenger, Ganzi wants it as well.  Tune in tomorrow for a complete rundown of that event.

Well, that's about all the news 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.
