NewSCast for 26-Jan-12

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, January 26th.

Well, the main bit of action to speak of was Week 2, Day 1 in the NASTL featuring EG vs. FXO.  The matches were Lucky over Puma, JYP over Choya, asd over DeMuslim, and finally Leenock was given a victory over Idra after computer issues caused the game to be lost before finishing.  This means that FXO got the victory over EG 3-1.

We also had the first day in the GSTL 2012.  The match today was Slayers taking on FXO.  The results were Crank over Choya and TheBest, then we had Lucky over Crank, Clide, and Puzzle.  Then MMA took out Lucky, Leenock, and Oz to take the first victory for the Slayers Clan 5-3.

In other news we have the announcement from the french team Millenium that they have opened their team house over in France.  Players staying there so far include Stephano, Adelscott, the great Tarson, and Bling from the team Dignitas.  Also announced today is that CheckSix gaming has acquired the Korean player Sleep, formally of IM and Slayers.

MLG has released a bit more information about their new format and dates for events.  We already knew about the Winter Championships, but they also released info on the other dates which include Spring championships on June 8th-10th, Summer on August 24th-26th, and Winter on November 2nd-4th.  They also stated the prize pool for Winter which has $25,000 for 1st, $15,000 for second, and on down the line.

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.
