Here we go again everyone with the first post-BlizzCon StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, October 26th.
Well, the main bulk of action over the weekend was the Code A qualifiers in GSL November. They are still ongoing and GSL has said they are changing the format some for this season. Here is a list of some of the players that are qualified so far:
Symbol, InCa, Tassadar, Luvsic, GuineaPig, Cezanne, Creator, Vines, Fin (Formally ForGG), Revival, TheSTC, Soccer, JookTo, Boxer, and CrazyMoving, plus more.
Also today we had Week 6, Division 1 play in the NASL Season 2. The matches for today were White-Ra over Vibe 2-1, Hero over Sheth 2-1, and Fenix over Vibe 2-0. Not sure why the funky scheduling of matches today, but there they are.
In other news, Team Liquid has announced that they have a new sponsor in Twitch.tv, the ESPORTS streaming site. Good news there.
As for the new GSL format for this season, it is a bit too complicated to go over in full, but in the blog post I will add the new flow chart of players. Basically it addresses the need for more player turnover in the main tournament and seems to run the two concurrently, with the Code A acting almost like a lower bracket for the Code S to a certain point. Check it out.
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.
