Here we go again everyone. I am back after a long holiday season and so is the GSL. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, January 11th.
Well, we will start with the group play over in the GSL. We had the first couple of days in Code S play and so far our foreign hopes have all been dropped back down into Code A. On Monday we had Ganzi and Jjakji advancing, with Boxer taking 3rd, and Sen 4th. On Tuesday we had SuperNova and MC advancing, Leenock 3rd, and Fin 4th. Then on Wednesday we had NesTea and MVp advancing, Lucky 3rd, and Idra taking 4th.
For those that might have missed HomeStory Cup 4 over the past weekend, the finals bracket ro8 was Sound over Real 3-2, Violet over MarineKing 3-2, MC over Nerchio 3-0, and JYP over Dimaga 3-1. In the round of 4 we had Sound over Violet 3-2 and MC over JYP 3-2. This set up a finals where MC took the championship 4-0 over JYP. Good job everyone.
We are still awaiting word on the new Season of State of the Game. The rumor mill is running and it sounds as if MLG will be making their announcements on the first show of the year. JP has promised some kind of announcement tomorrow, so tune in then for more information.
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.

NewSCast for 30-Nov-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, November 30th.
Well, we are in that calm before the NASL Season 2 finals coming up this weekend. Before we get into that though, here are the results from the GSL over the weekend:
First, we had the GSL Code S semifinals matches. The first round was jjakji and Oz in an awesome back and forth series that ended with the Terran Jjakji taking it 3-2 and advancing to his first Code S finals. The other match also took all 5 games to decide as Leenock, your MLG Nation Champion looking unstoppable as he took down the terran master MVP 3-2 to advance to his first finals. This means that for the first time in a long time we are guaranteed a new Code S Champion this season.
Now, in Code A we had ro32 play with Losira over Alicia 2-1, Keen over YuGiHo 2-0, Fin over Polt 2-0, Brown over Ryung 2-0, Bomber over JYP 2-0, Parting over Clide 2-0, Lucky over Nada 2-0, Cezanne over Tassadar 2-0, July over Genius 2-0, asd over Hero 2-1, Curious over Monster 2-0, DRG over Luvsic 2-0, Boxer over Virus 2-0 with some very impressive reaper builds, Taeja over Inca 2-0, MarineKing over Zenio 2-0, and finally SuperNova over Squirtle 2-0.
Also in GSL news, the Code A caster Doa has resigned from GSL and taken a job as one of the in-house casters with IPL. Good luck to him and it is good to see him coming back to the states.
Now, with NASL finals coming this weekend, here are the championship brackets for Friday night's ro16:
Hero vs HwangSin, Huk vs. HasuObs, BratOK vs. Dimaga, TT1 vs Sen, Morrow vs. Mana, DeMuslim vs. Throzain, Idra vs. Strelok, and Sheth vs. Puma. Let's see who makes it to play on Saturday.
As we mentioned Morrow, it has been announced that he has been training quietly over in Korea recently. Not only that, but he has been given one of the Code A spots for GSL January, so let's see how the Infested Terran does over in Korea. Other player news from the weekend include the Korean Check signing with eSahara Esports, Clide has left TSL and joined Slayers, SangHo and JYP both leave TSL, and former BW pro Hyun has signed with TSL. We also have confirmation that QXC, the Bandana Terran, has been transferred from FXO to Complexity. This is another strong foreign pick up for Complexity in recent history.
Well, that's about all the news for tonight. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.

Well, we some exciting action today. First, early in the morning, we had the first day of GSL Oct. Code A Qualifiers. I talked about these quickly last night, but here is a rundown of all of the finals so far:
MVP.Dream over ZeNEX.Hack 2-1, NSHoseo.Sage over ST.Ace 2-1, Liquid'Hero over MVP.GuineaPig 2-0, FXOz over SlayersBoxer 2-0, TSL.Revival over Replica 2-1, and finally oGs.JookTo over IM.Ready 2-0.
The second day of qualifiers just finished up. The qualifier finals matches were ST.Curious taking the match over oGs.Cezanne 2-0, MVP.Monster over oGs.Illusion 2-1, lOvShinyStar over MVP.Won 2-1, FXO.Weekend over ST.KingKong 2-0, FXO.GuMiHo over oGs.TheSTC 2-0, and the final match is still ongoing as I record this between Seed and Superstar.
Add in that Naniwa, Sjow, Select, and Sase are in it and we have a great outlook to Code A.
Also today we had the TL TeamSpeak Open #22. With an interesting quarterfinals match where Idra faced Nerchio and forfeited after one game, Nerchio went on to take the tournament 3-2 over ZeNEX.Young. The third place went to Attero.
In other news, the strong German caster Khaldor has been offered and accepted a job in Korea as one of the Code A casters. Congrats to Khaldor for all his hard work and effort he has put into the community.
Speaking of Korea, we have some other player news. It seems that the Terran player Dignitas.Select will be heading their soon to join up with his teammates Naniwa and Sjow to train and practice for Code A. I can't wait to see Select in action over in Korea. Also being talked about right now is a comment from the German Zerg Darkforce that he is thinking about heading over to Korea to train as he is already going their for WCG. I hope it all works out for him.
Also just announced is that Major was just released from Sixjax gaming. This was too be expected as Major is both known for his extremely strong play and his extremely strong attitude issues. We will see if any other team will take him up being the liability that he is.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, September 2nd
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, September 2nd.
Well, let's start with the action from Korea in the GSTL from early Friday morning. The only match, in fact the last match before the playoffs was FXOKorea taking on StarTale. In another 1-sided victory, we had Lucky over Bomber, but then Curious came in and ripped faces off of nerds as he took down Lucky, Inori, Choya, and asd to take the match for StarTale.
With this match, the playoffs are set. The first bracket is Prime vs. StarTale with the winner facing TSL. The other bracket is IM vs. MVP with the winner advancing to face NSHoseo.
In other news, it appears that the player Grubby will be heading to train in Korea for a month and attempt to make it through the next Code A qualifiers. Good luck to him and I hope Korea does good things for his play.
Also announced today, MLG is proud to be bring Bomber back for MLG Orlando to defend his title. This is big, but also announced is that accompanying him will be the return of SlayersBoxer state side. I know that personally I am rather excited to see Boxer back on the main stage again.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, August 5th
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.

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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, July 27th
Hello again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, July 27th.
Again, not a ton of action over the Weekend as everyone is ramping up for MLG Anaheim. We will start off though with the GSL. On Monday morning we had the code S semifinals. The first bo5 series was the zerg mastermind NesTea taking on HongUn and having an answer for anything that HongUn went for, NesTea took the series 3-0. The other match up was Losira taking on Byun and in a mirror performance, Losira took the series 3-0 setting up the finals between teammate zerg heroes.
Also in GSL play, we had the first 2 days in the Up and Down matches. The first day had group 1 play with the following results:
MarineKing over FruitDealer, Ryung over Dream, Happy over MarineKing, Ryung over FruitDealer, Dream over MarineKing, Ryung over Happy, Ryung over MarineKing, Dream over FruitDealer, and Happy over Dream. The results mean that Ryung and Happy are promoted to Code S, Dream, FruitDealer, and MarineKing fall to Code A.
In day 2 play we had asd over sC, sC over anypro, asd over Tassadar, Noblesse over anypro, sC over Tassadar, asd over anypro, Noblesse over Tassadar, Noblesse over asd, and Noblesse over sC. The results then are Noblesse and asd promoted to Code S, sC, anypro, and Tassadar to Code A.
We also had the iCCup Korean Weekly with the winner being GuMiho over Taeja 4-1. Third and fourth place were Naya and TheBest. Tune in every Monday and Tuesday for more iCCup Korean action.
In other news, Mr. Chae has announced a show match on August 5th. This will be a best of 5 series between none other than SlayersBoxer and his past BW rival Yellow! Yellow announced his retirement from BW a few months ago and has since been seen working with the GSL. This is an exciting show match put together for the community and for eSports.
Well, the only thing to mention tonight is that the rest of the week and maybe into next week the NewSCast might be late getting posted due to the fact that I will not have access to my office when I normally do. I will post the blog at normal time, but the mp3/podcast might not be up until the afternoon, so you will still get the news in post form.
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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, June 12th
Here we go everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, June 12th.
Well, I guess before we get into tournament action, the first thing that I have to talk about is the big player news of the day. ROOT Gaming, home some lovable players such as Kiwikaki, Drewbie, Slush, and Catz has just announced a merger/takeover from Complexity Gaming. This means that some of the top players from Complexity are new teammates with ROOT players, creating a powerful pool of talent. All players will now be playing under the Complexity handles, all except for 2 ROOT players who have chosen to become free agents in this deal. Those are two of the big names right now, Slush and Kiwikai. I wonder how many teams have already hit them up with contract offers since this news was announced? We will have to wait and see.
As for tournament news, we had the final day of the final division of the final week of NASL pool play with the very powerful and competitive "Group of Death". With championship placements on the line, here are the results:
The night started off easily enough with Mana taking the 2-0 over Drewbie. That match was followed up with Tyler taking a series off of Cloud 2-1. Now, the fireworks being as Zenio easily rolls over PainUser to secure the best finish that he could for now, but all situations are dependent on the last two matches. First was Sen taking on Socke. Both of these games were wonderfully played on both sides, but in the end the Lord of Lings himself came out on top 2-0 to secure a top 2 seed. The last match of the night was The Emperor SlayersBoxer taking on EG.Idra, the Gracken. Boxer, in the normal fasion of Boxer vs. Zerg opens up with a bunker rush in game 1 which Idra fails to hold. In game 2 Boxer tries the rush again, but Idra was more than prepared and deflected it only to then have to face the bio-mech force of Boxer which proved too powerful. That is correct, SlayersBoxer will be coming to California as one of the top seeds for the Championship tournament. Here are the final standings for Division 5:
Boxer: 8-1
Sen: 7-2
Zenio: 7-2
Idra: 6-3
Mana: 5-4
Socke: 4-5
Cloud: 3-6
Tyler: 3-6
Drewbie: 2-7
and finally PainUser coming in at 0-9.
Here are the finals qualified players:
Ret in the top seed followed by Boxer, Strelok, Select, Sen, Moon, Squirtle, July, Sheth, and White-Ra. The final 6 spots in the championship will be determined by the playoffs which are set for this week as well as the open tourney which are set for a couple of weeks. I cannot wait to see how the final bracket will look for this $100,000 dollar prize pool tournament.
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.
