NewSCast for 30-Sept-11

Here we go again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, September 30th.

Well, some good action to go over today.  We will start with the GSTL Playoffs from early Friday morning.  The teams were MVP taking on NSHosea and here is the rundown:
Tassadar over Tails, Keen over Tassadar, Seal over Keen, but then the man himself, MVPGenius came in and cleaned house taking down Seal, Sculp, Jjakji, and Sage to take the victory for his team 5-2.  This means that MVP will advance to the finals to face Prime.

We also had NASL Division 3 Week 3 play today.  The maps were on Terminus, Dual Sight, and Bel'Shir Beach.  The first match of the night was Socke over HwangSin 2-0.  Next we had Morrow looking very strong as he dominated SoftBall 2-0.  Following that up was Sjow and Jinro duking it out in a match that ended in a 2-0 victory for Jinro.  In the final match of the night Idra tore through Kiwikaki 2-0.  The current standings for division 3 are:
Idra 3-0, Morrow 3-0, Jinro 2-1, Socke 2-1, Kiwikaki 1-1, HwangSin 0-2, Sjow 0-3, and SoftBall at 0-3.

Also played today was Day 1 in IEM Global Challenge in China.  The top 2 from each group advance to the finals bracket.  The first two groups played today with Puma taking Group A 3-0, HasuObs 2-1, YHY 1-2, and Pig coming in last at 0-3.  In Group B we had Dimaga take the group 3-0 followed by JYP 2-1, Rain 1-2, and XiGua 0-3.

We also had the semifinals in the GSL Arena of Legends.  The first match was MMA getting torn apart by MarineKing 3-0.  The other match was DRG taking down July 3-2.

In some other news, there was a tweet by Sundance, the CEO of MLG, today that stated:
Twitter and Reddit nation. StarCraft on ESPN2... Would you tune in? I am sitting with a TV exec who wants to know. You've got an hour.
Sounds like there might be some big news abrewing over in MLG Land.


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.
