StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, August 10th

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, August 10th.

The first big news of the weekend is the announcement of another recruit to Team Liquid.  This time it is the Korean player Hero, formally of oGs.  Liquid'Hero is a very strong Code A Protoss player with a Brood War background who once wore the nickname of Little Bisu.  Congrats to Liquid and we cannot wait to see him in action at MLG.

Well, first and foremost in tourney results we had GSL Code A and Code S action early this morning.  Today was the last day in Code A round of 32.  It was the much talked about Sweden vs. Korea day.  The foreigners fought bravely, but all of them fell to the might of Korea as Jinro lost to Lucky 2-0, Thorzain fell to YuGiHo 2-1, Sase fell to Sniper 2-0, and Naniwa fell to Check 2-0. Late tonight there was the first Code A ro16 matches with Ganzi taking out Fruitdealer 2-0, Taeja looking strong in his match as he took down sC 2-0.  Next we had the upset as JYP beat DRG 2-1, and finally we had Tassadar fall to Yoda 2-1.
Also we had day 2 in the GSL Code S rounds.  Here is the rundown:
Coco over Keen, Nada over Alicia, Coco over Nada, Keen over Alicia, and Keen over Coco.  The results are Nada and Keen advancing, Coco remaining Code S, and Alicia falling to the up and down matches.

Also, a bonus, just finishing right now was F. United in the team leagues taking on MVP.  Here is a rundown:
Fenix falls to Nalza, Thorzain comes in and owns on Nalza, GuineaPig, and Noblesse.  He then falls to Genius who also takes out Soccer.  This brings in Naniwa for the ace match.  Nani takes it for the foreigners!  Congrats to F. United!

In other news it was announced that WarCraft 3 legend Grubby now in SC2 will be playing a showmatch with Liquid's TLO in both StarCraft 2 and WarCraft 3.  The WC will be a bo5 with the SC being a bo7 matchup.  These will take place on this coming Sunday and the winner will gain bragging rights.

Also in other team news, Team Reign featuring players like Slush ad Kiwikaki have added 2 new members.  They are Artist (formally of fou) and gix formally of VT gaming.  Good luck to all of them and the new teams.

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.
