NewSCast for 7-Dec-11

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, December 7th.

Well, some good news and action over the weekend.  Mainly we had the play in the GSL Code A tourney with the ro24 play to see who make it into Code S for next season.  In day 2 action we had NesTea over asd 2-0, Fin over July 2-0, Ganzi over Lucky 2-1, and DRG over Taeja 2-1.  In day 3 play we had Keen over Huk 2-0, SuperNova over GuMiHo 2-0, and finally MarineKing over Boxer 2-1.

Just played a bit ago was the first set of groups over in the WCG Grand finals.  We had groups A-D play today with Moonglade and F91 taking group A, XiGua and Kas taking group B, MVP and Goody taking group C, and Titan and dignitas.Killer taking group D.  Top 2 from each group advance to championship brackets.

In other news Teamliquid.net has announced the Team Liquid Map Making Contest TL Open tournament.  This is a tourney with a couple grand prize along with extensive testing of the TL Map Making contest finals maps, so see who takes the crown from that as well.  Sign up now if you are interested as the tourney starts this Saturday morning.

Also just announced is that the player/caster Gretorp of NASL fame has signed with It's Gosu eSports as their team coach.  Congrats to Gretorp and good luck with his new team.

Also an announcement from the GSL pertaining ticket prices for the GSL in 2012.  There will be 5 seasons of GSL this coming year with group play being extended to bo3s instead of the bo1s.  Each season will run for about 2 months as well.  The cost for tickets has risen from 10 bucks to 15, but they have also given us a yearly pass which includes regular season GSLs, with a separate ticket for the special events such as the GSTL and AoL.

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.
