StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, August 4th - Podcast has Returned!

Welcome everyone to the StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, August 4th.  I am TheAmazombie and the podcast as returned.

Well, let us start off with the GSTL from Thursday morning.  The teams were the 2-time champions Slayers going head to head with Prime.  Here is the rundown: Taeja over MarineKing, The HongUn over Taeja, Boxer, and Ganzi, Ryung over HongUn, and finally Terious over Ryung so the Prime clan wins a match 4-2.

Also today we had the group play over at Assembly 2011 in Finland.  There were a ton of matches, so I will run down group play result quickly, top 2 advance to championships:
Group A: Dimaga 3-0, Bischu 2-1, Lowely 1-2, and Sein 0-3.
Group B: Morrow 3-0, Seiplo 2-1, Merz 1-2, and Fuzer 0-3.
Group C: Sarens 3-0, Sen 2-1, Protosser 1-2, and Naama 0-3.
Group D: Sjow 3-0, TLO 1-2, Adelscott 1-2, and Happy 1-2.
Group E: Kas 3-0, Welmu 1-2, Grubby 1-2, and Lalush 1-2.
Group F: Stephano 3-0, BratOK 2-1, Bigs 1-2, and Satiini 0-3.
Group G: Mana 3-0, Jimpo 2-1, Huk 1-2, and DarkForce 0-3.
Group H: Nada 2-1, Elfi 2-1, NightEnd 1-2, and Haypro 1-2.

We also had some play in the IPL season 2.  This time we had Loser's Bracket round 2 as Nerchio took down Minigun 2-1, Vibe took out State 2-1, Ret win his match over Socke 2-0, and finally Fenix took down Cocoa 2-0.  All losers are eliminated from season 2.

Make sure to tune in Friday morning at 6 AM PST for the Boxer/Yellow showmatch over on gomtv.  I am excited to see Yellow in action with SC2.

More information has surfaced in the TSL situation that I quickly mentioned in yesterdays post.  It appears that TSL was removed from the SC2Conference in Korea due to a dispute over salaries.  Fruitdealer and Trickster were promised payment, TSL's Coach Lee lied and told them he did not receive sponsor money when he really did not want to pay them due to their work ethic.  In the end it appears that Mr. Lee reneged on the promised deal between the players and lied to cover it up.  This is just icing on the cake for issues going on with TSL lately.

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.
