NewSCast for 16-Nov-11

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and after a long weekend I have returned.  I apologize for not getting to the Weekly Edit this week mainly due to the fact that I did not get caught up on news and VODs in time to put something together.  We should be here for news all week though.  So here is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, November 16th.

Well, a ton of stuff happening over the long weekend, so a bit of this might be outdated, but here it goes.  We will start with the GSL from the last few nights.  First we had more Code A ro48 action with Tassadar over Select 2-0, Cezanne over Ensnare 2-0, Fin over Sage 2-0, Genius over Symbol 2-0, JYP over Sase 2-0, LuvSic over HongUn 2-1, Lucky over Naniwa 2-0, and Nada over Soccer 2-1.

Next we had Code S ro16 play starting with Group A featuring MMA, NesTea, Huk, and Leenock with MMA and Leenock advancing, Huk taking 3rd, and NesTea falling to 4th.  Next we had group B with Happy, Killer, Oz, and aLive and the results were aLive and Oz advancing with Killer 3rd and Happy taking 4th.

In group C we had Puzzle, SC, MC, and Ganzi with Puzzle and SC advancing, MC taking 3rd and Ganzi 4th.  In the final group D we have GuMiHo, Coca, Jjakji, and MVP.  First of all Coca was pulled from his spot due to the match-fixing incident in the ESV Korean Weekly.  This left MVP and Jjakji to advance with GuMiHo taking 3rd.

Also played was the NASL Semi-Open Tourney day 1.  The matches today in the ro32 were Uhen over Mentalist 2-1, Catz over DarkCell 2-1, KawaiiRice over Zelniq 2-0, Gatored over TriMaster 2-0, and then in the ro16 we had Thorzain over Windy (Major) 2-0 and LiveZerg over Killer 2-1.

In other news we had the announcement from Team Liquid of a new documentary about TL that is in the works.  It should be out in February of next year.  This is to go along with the, still rumored, signing of Zenio to TL.  This has not been announced formally, but it seems to be the case.

Also announced we have a couple of the high-level female progamers getting roster spots on teams.  First we have JongMi, also known as Marie, getting signed with oGs.  The other player, Aphrodite, who won the recent Zowie Divina female Invitational, has been signed with StarTale.  Congrats to them and I hope to see more women in StarCraft soon.
The final signing we have is that the player formally known as Soccer has signed with Slayers and is now known as Slayers_Ven.  Good luck to him.

Well, I think that will wrap us up for today.  Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
