NewSCast for 22-Oct-11

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, October 22nd.

Well with BlizzCon ongoing, the only real matches of note for today were the final matches in the BlizzCon Invitational.  First off, in the Winner's Bracket Finals we had NesTea finally taking down MVP in a 2-0 victory.  Now, down in the lower bracket we had Naniwa take down Dimaga 2-0 and Sen beat Select 2-1.  Then we had Sen beat Naniwa 2-1 to move on and face MVP.
MVP was not giving up easily though as he took down Sen 2-0 which set up a rematch with NesTea.  MVP took the first bo3 2-0, which set up a second bo3 which MVP took 2-1 to take the championships.  Congrats to MVP.

Other announcements and things to come out of BlizzCon today include some new visuals and graphics for HotS.  One that looked really cool was that Zerg's Creep now latches onto the base of buildings.  This has no game effect, just eye-candy.  Also the physics engine has been redone to show bodies flying and whatnot.  One of the other new features is destructible rock formations, which can be used to close off paths and areas.  They also had the BlizzCon costume contest and the winner was a Terran Adjutant that looked amazing.  Check out the vid over at youtube.

Other than that, there was not a ton of other news to talk about today.  Please check out BlizzCon, threads about the new units and everything else that is associated with it.  Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
