Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, August 5th.
Well, let's start off with an overview of the much anticipated Boxer/Yellow show match from last night. It was a fun event overall with interviews and more. Yellow started off admitting that he had only played for a couple of weeks and was currently in the Gold League. Boxer announced that this was for fun and he would play a round a lot. There was a ton of conversation between the two old rivals. Boxer took game 1 on XC, and yes, there were plenty of bunkers including Boxer attempting to created the legendary "Bunker Transporter" on the map. Game 2 was on Shattered with Yellow taking that game with repeated Roach drops. The final game was Boxer taking the series on Tal'Darim. It was fun to watch and Yellow said that it meant a lot to him to be there with Boxer in a huge event with tons of fans in attendance. I hope to see Yellow in the SC2 scene more in some capacity or another. Congrats to eSports on this event.
In Europe, we also had the Championship brackets in Assembly Summer 2011. I will give you a run down of each round:
Ro16:
Dimaga over TLO, BratOK over Sarens, Sjow over Bischu, elfi over Jimpo, Seiplo over Kas, Stephano over Sen, Mana over Nada, and Morrow over Welmu.
Ro8:
Dimaga over Elfi, Stephano over Seiplo, Mana over Sjow, and BratOK over Morrow.
Semis:
Dimaga over Stephano 3-2 and Mana over BratOK 3-1.
Bronze match was Stephano over BratOK 3-0.
In the finals we had Dimaga taking the tourney over Mana in an exciting 3-2 victory. Congrats to Dimaga.
Also last night we had Venus action in the GSTL. The teams were IM vs. StarTale and here is the rundown:
Bomber over MVP, then over Happy, then over Losira, and finally losing to Younghwa. This brought out Curious to take the series for StarTale 4-1.
We also had IPL Season 2 action. This was more Loser's Bracket play. The matches today were Drewbie, who has been looking stronger as of late, over Tarson 2-0. The next match up was Lalush taking down BratOK 2-0. The third match up of the night was another 2-0 as Nerchio beat Vibe and the final match was 2-1 Ret over Fenix. All losers are eliminated.
In other news it was announced today that the Russian player BratOK will be joining a new team. His new home is going to be imba.FXO and he will now be team mates with another strong Terran, Strelok. imba.FXO seems to keep getting stronger and stronger line ups.
Well, that's about all the news that we have for you today. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, August 4th - Podcast has Returned!
Welcome everyone to the StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, August 4th. I am TheAmazombie and the podcast as returned.

Here is the rundown: Taeja over MarineKing, The HongUn over Taeja, Boxer, and Ganzi, Ryung over HongUn, and finally Terious over Ryung so the Prime clan wins a match 4-2.
Also today we had the group play over at Assembly 2011 in Finland. There were a ton of matches, so I will run down group play result quickly, top 2 advance to championships:
Group A: Dimaga 3-0, Bischu 2-1, Lowely 1-2, and Sein 0-3.
Group B: Morrow 3-0, Seiplo 2-1, Merz 1-2, and Fuzer 0-3.
Group C: Sarens 3-0, Sen 2-1, Protosser 1-2, and Naama 0-3.

Group H: Nada 2-1, Elfi 2-1, NightEnd 1-2, and Haypro 1-2.
We also had some play in the IPL season 2. This time we had Loser's Bracket round 2 as Nerchio took down Minigun 2-1, Vibe took out State 2-1, Ret win his match over Socke 2-0, and finally Fenix took down Cocoa 2-0. All losers are eliminated from season 2.
Make sure to tune in Friday morning at 6 AM PST for the Boxer/Yellow showmatch over on gomtv. I am excited to see Yellow in action with SC2.
More information has surfaced in the TSL situation that I quickly mentioned in yesterdays post. It appears that TSL was removed from the SC2Conference in Korea due to a dispute over salaries. Fruitdealer and Trickster were promised payment, TSL's Coach Lee lied and told them he did not receive sponsor money when he really did not want to pay them due to their work ethic. In the end it appears that Mr. Lee reneged on the promised deal between the players and lied to cover it up. This is just icing on the cake for issues going on with TSL lately.
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.
