Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and after a long weekend I have returned. I apologize for not getting to the Weekly Edit this week mainly due to the fact that I did not get caught up on news and VODs in time to put something together. We should be here for news all week though. So here is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, November 16th.
Well, a ton of stuff happening over the long weekend, so a bit of this might be outdated, but here it goes. We will start with the GSL from the last few nights. First we had more Code A ro48 action with Tassadar over Select 2-0, Cezanne over Ensnare 2-0, Fin over Sage 2-0, Genius over Symbol 2-0, JYP over Sase 2-0, LuvSic over HongUn 2-1, Lucky over Naniwa 2-0, and Nada over Soccer 2-1.
Next we had Code S ro16 play starting with Group A featuring MMA, NesTea, Huk, and Leenock with MMA and Leenock advancing, Huk taking 3rd, and NesTea falling to 4th. Next we had group B with Happy, Killer, Oz, and aLive and the results were aLive and Oz advancing with Killer 3rd and Happy taking 4th.
In group C we had Puzzle, SC, MC, and Ganzi with Puzzle and SC advancing, MC taking 3rd and Ganzi 4th. In the final group D we have GuMiHo, Coca, Jjakji, and MVP. First of all Coca was pulled from his spot due to the match-fixing incident in the ESV Korean Weekly. This left MVP and Jjakji to advance with GuMiHo taking 3rd.
Also played was the NASL Semi-Open Tourney day 1. The matches today in the ro32 were Uhen over Mentalist 2-1, Catz over DarkCell 2-1, KawaiiRice over Zelniq 2-0, Gatored over TriMaster 2-0, and then in the ro16 we had Thorzain over Windy (Major) 2-0 and LiveZerg over Killer 2-1.
In other news we had the announcement from Team Liquid of a new documentary about TL that is in the works. It should be out in February of next year. This is to go along with the, still rumored, signing of Zenio to TL. This has not been announced formally, but it seems to be the case.
Also announced we have a couple of the high-level female progamers getting roster spots on teams. First we have JongMi, also known as Marie, getting signed with oGs. The other player, Aphrodite, who won the recent Zowie Divina female Invitational, has been signed with StarTale. Congrats to them and I hope to see more women in StarCraft soon.
The final signing we have is that the player formally known as Soccer has signed with Slayers and is now known as Slayers_Ven. Good luck to him.
Well, I think that will wrap us up for 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 Sunday, August 28th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, August 28th.
It was championship Sunday on the East Coast of United States with MLG Raleigh. We went into today with Koreans guaranteed 4 of the top 6 spots and a lot of strong foreigners in contention. For the championship brackets semifinals we first had Coca take on Puma. While Puma is one of the favorites to take the entire tourney, he fell to the might of Coca 2-0. The other match was Bomber, the other favorite picking apart DongRaeGu in an easy 2-0 victory. For the winner's bracket finals we had Bomber, in two very fast games, make Coca look outclassed 2-0.
Now, for the loser's bracket play from today.I will give a rundown of the earlier rounds:
Machine over InControl 2-1, Hero over Moonan 2-0, DeMuslim over Ret 2-1, TriMaster over Haypro 2-1. Next was Rain over Machine 2-0, Hero over Sheth 2-0, DeMuslim over Trickster 2-1, and TriMaster over Idra 2-1.
Next was Sjow taking out Rain 2-0, Hero over KiwiKaki 2-0, Nada over Select 2-0, and Huk over Noblesse 2-1.
This set up Sjow falling to Hero 2-1 and Nada tearing through Huk 2-0.
For the next semifinal round DongRaeGu took out Hero 4-3, and Nada showed the heart of a champion as he took down Puma 4-3. This brought on a brilliant moment where after his victory Nada came out of the booth and scream at the crowd "I am Nada!" It was a great moment to see.
The last two loser's bracket rounds were the great Nada falling to DRG 2-0, and Coca eliminating DRG 2-1. The finals were then set with Coca trying to come back in the extended series against Bomber.
These were some close matches, but in the end our champion is ST.Bomber in a 4-1 victory over SlayersCoca.
Congrats to Bomber for dominating nerds all weekend.
With his third place victory, this means that DRG has finally sealed a Code S spot. I am assuming that Sjow will receive one of the Code A positions as he is on his way to Korea anyway.
The only other news of note today was the release of the next 5 player names for the NASL season 2. Today we had Select, Rain, Moonan, Axslav, and Morrow. Only 15 more players to be announced within the next few days.
Coming up Monday morning are the GSL Code A finals as MarineKing will try to get back into Code S, but his challenger, Ganzi wants it as well. Tune in tomorrow for a complete rundown of that event.
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.
