NewSCast for 2-Dec-11

Alright, we are here with a new month.  Welcome everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, December2nd.

Well, a bunch of news to go along with the first day of the NASL Season 2 Finals down in Southern California.  The matches for today were all bo5, single-elimination match ups where we had Hero over HwangSin 3-1.  After that was Huk falling in an epic PvP to the winner HasuObs 3-2.  Next was  BratOK taking down Dimaga 3-2,  Sen handling TT1 3-1, team-kill as Mana fell to the might of Morrow 3-0, Thorzain dominated DeMuslim 3-0, Idra rolling over Strelok 3-0 with his safe and defensive play, and finally we had an awesome bo5 with Puma taking our Sheth 3-2.
The brackets for the ro8 are Hero vs. HasuObs, BratOK vs. Sen, Morrow vs. Thorzain, and Idra vs. Puma.

Just finishing up as I speak were the GSL Nov. Code S finals between the Terran Jjakji and the Zerg Leenock.  While everyone expected Leenock to take the series one-sidedly, it turned out to be much closer and is already being called the best finals series in GSL Code S to date.  In the end we did have a new champion, and this time it was Jjakji who remained strong and calm in the 4-2 victory.  There were various moments where Leenock was close to forcing a game 7, but in the end fell to the might of the terran.  Now we wait to see about the Code A tourney.


In other news, we have the announcement that the team GosuGamers has officially folded.  No word on where the players on that team are heading.  Also announced is that the recent partnership between Quantic Gaming and IM has been dissolved after only a couple of months.  It is unclear as to why this has happened, but both parties released statements along the lines of "different views and directions."  Speaking though of Quantic, one of its members, the popular streamer Destiny, is heading over to Korea and will be staying with the team StarTale for around 3 weeks for training and experience.

Well, be sure to tune in tomorrow for more in the NASL 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.
