NewSCast for 19-Oct-11

Here we go again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, October 19th.

Well, with MLG and IEM coming to close, we are back to the GSL with the Code S Up and Down matches over the past few nights.  On day 1 we had Gumiho and Puzzle taking Code S, Sage, Genius, and Zenio taking Code A spots.  On night 2 we had Oz and Yugiho taking Code S spots with Keen, JYP, and HongUn going Code A, and Day 3 is going on right as we record this.

In other news we have a few hidden gems here.  First though, the Blizzard/TL Ultimate BarCraft post-BlizzCon seems to have been cancelled due to organizational issues.  They have stated that they are refunding all prepaid costs.  That sounded like a cool event, so we are sad to see that go.  Next we have EG and their mystery announcement coming in a few days which appears to have been leaked in Korea.  We have work that Korea is reporting that EG players will be teaming up with Slayers and staying in the Slayers house.  That has not been confirmed as of yet though, so it is still just a rumor.
The other possible big news coming out of Korea is that with the reorganization of KeSPA as they are starting to look at adding SC2 to their ProLeague for the coming seasons.  We will have to see how that works out in the coming weeks and months.  More SC2 sounds good for everyone.

Also, the brackets have been announced for the BlizzCon global finals.  BratOK is facing NesTea in the first round, we also have Major vs. Naniwa and MVP vs. Moonglade just to name a few.  This is along side the GSL Code S finals that same weekend.  A lot of money up for grabs to let's all have fun with that.

Well, that's about all the news that we had 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.
