Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, January 25th.
Well, I apologize for the lack of an Edit this week. Our show sort of fell apart on scheduling issues. If you missed that, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates about those shows. As for now though, with the lack of GSL this week, the results are a bit scant, so we will be covering news today.
First we had the announcement that Axslav, formally of EG has signed with his new team, Reign, bolstering their lineup which already has players like Slush, Kiwikaki, and Inori. Also in team news, the smaller teams of "Icons of Vanity" and "Metagaming" have merged their rosters.
One Nation of Gamers, a network of BarCrafts throughout the US, has announced their new online invitational. The line up features top players such as Stephano, Tyler, Sheth, Kas, Destiny, Sase, and Machine and will be casted by Mr. Bitter. Tune in to twitch.tv/onenationofgamers this weekend for those matches.
IPL4 has announced two online qualifiers on February 11th and 18th for spots in the upcoming IPL4 live event. Also, the ASUS ROG Winter 2012 tourney has announced more of their invites including players such as Jinro, Kas, TLO, Stephano, and Hero. That tourney takes place February 25th and 26th, so be sure to check that out.
The last night of news to talk about is coming from Blizzard who has announced that they will not be holding BlizzCon this year, but instead will be putting together a major event called the 2012 Battle.net World Championships. This will be a 4-tiered system to create something like a "World Cup" type of atmosphere. The idea will be to have locals, nationals, continentals, then the World Championships. They have stated that whenever Heart of the Swarm comes out, they will maintain this year's contest on Wings of Liberty.
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.
