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.

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.
