NewSCast for 26-Nov-11

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, November 26th, the final day of DreamHack Winter.

Well, we will start today with that awesome event that was DreamHack Winter European Championships.  I recorded yesterday's cast right after the ro16 finished, so today we will start with the action from the ro8.  The first matchup was NightEnd over Naama 2-1, ending the possibility of a rematch from last year.  Then we had Puma over DRG 2-1, Hero over Seiplo 2-0, and Ret over Nerchio 2-0.  This set up another Team Liquid team-kill situation, which they always seem to get themselves in as Hero took down Ret 3-1 in the semifinals.  The other match was Puma over NightEnd 3-1 setting up what became an absolutely epic bo7 between Liquid's Hero and EG's Puma.

While the teams have a long and storied rivalry, many time with EG coming out on top, this was not to be the day as Puma took game 1, then Hero surged back taking the next 3.  Puma was not done though as he took games 5 and 6 to tie up the series heading into an awesome back and forth on Antiga Shipyard.  As evenly matched as they were, Hero finally took the commanding lead and with manner Nexus abound, Liquid'Hero is your 2011 DreamHack European Champion.
Now Hero and Puma are prepping themselves for NASL Season 2 Grandfinals coming up next weekend.  With this win Hero has also qualified for GomTV's Blizzard Cup next month.  Good luck Hero!

Well, speaking of the NASL, the other action for today were more matches in the Season 2 Playoffs to see who will be at the finals this coming weekend.  The matches today were NightEnd over QXC 2-0 and Sheth over Sjow 2-1 setting up the match where Sheth took the matches 2-1 over NightEnd to advance to the finals.

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.
