Welcome everyone to your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast. I am TheAmazombie and this is the cast covering Wednesday, August 31st.
Well, the heat of August is coming on strong in the GSL. Over my weekend we had both days of action in the Ro8. On day 1 we had Optimus tearing through Keen 3-1 and TOP over Genius 3-1. On day 2 we had the premier match as MVP took on Huk. In a completely 1-sided match, MVP tore through the foreign hope 3-0. The other match as the toss up as July took on Ryung. Ryung, while amazingly strong is known for his TvT and could not hold to the hyper-aggression of JulyZerg as July took the series 3-2. All players are advancing to the bo5 semifinals next week.
