NewSCast for 26-Nov-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, November 26th, the final day of DreamHack Winter.
Well, we will start today with that awesome event that was DreamHack Winter European Championships. I recorded yesterday's cast right after the ro16 finished, so today we will start with the action from the ro8. The first matchup was NightEnd over Naama 2-1, ending the possibility of a rematch from last year. Then we had Puma over DRG 2-1, Hero over Seiplo 2-0, and Ret over Nerchio 2-0. This set up another Team Liquid team-kill situation, which they always seem to get themselves in as Hero took down Ret 3-1 in the semifinals. The other match was Puma over NightEnd 3-1 setting up what became an absolutely epic bo7 between Liquid's Hero and EG's Puma.
While the teams have a long and storied rivalry, many time with EG coming out on top, this was not to be the day as Puma took game 1, then Hero surged back taking the next 3. Puma was not done though as he took games 5 and 6 to tie up the series heading into an awesome back and forth on Antiga Shipyard. As evenly matched as they were, Hero finally took the commanding lead and with manner Nexus abound, Liquid'Hero is your 2011 DreamHack European Champion.
Now Hero and Puma are prepping themselves for NASL Season 2 Grandfinals coming up next weekend. With this win Hero has also qualified for GomTV's Blizzard Cup next month. Good luck Hero!
Well, speaking of the NASL, the other action for today were more matches in the Season 2 Playoffs to see who will be at the finals this coming weekend. The matches today were NightEnd over QXC 2-0 and Sheth over Sjow 2-1 setting up the match where Sheth took the matches 2-1 over NightEnd to advance to the finals.
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 28-Oct-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, October 28th.
Well, again not a ton of action or news for the day. We did have the Division 3 play in the NASL. The matches for today were HwangSin over Jinro 2-0. Next was a walkover given to Kiwikaki over SoftBall. The final match was Idra taking down Sjow 2-1. The division standings after 6 weeks of play are:
Idra 5-2, Morrow 4-1, Kiwikaki 4-1, Jinro 3-3, Socke 3-2, HwangSin 2-3, Sjow 1-4, and SoftBall 0-5.
We also had the Loser's Finals and Final matches in the MLG Global Invitational. The loser's finals was MVP over Bomber 4-3. This led to the finals between MVP and MMA with MVP taking the series 4-2. We will be seeing these players face one another at MLG Providence.
In other news, we have the announcement that Korean Zerg player Zenio has left team oGs and is looking for another team due to housing conflicts. He was a former Code S player, now dropped down into the Code A area. Let's see who picks him up.
Also we have the announcement that July and Bomber from the team StarTale will be coming to GamesX in Stockholm. Also Stephano, Clide, and Puma were announced to be heading over to DreamHack Winter also in Sweden. They join players like MC, White-Ra, Huk, and DRG at that event.
In other very exciting news, there was a huge article from Korea stating that many pro Brood War players and teams are starting to slowly practice for StarCraft 2 knowing that KeSPA is leaning towards adding it to the ProLeague. There are many anonymous quotes, no exact names attached, but players are confirming this as well. Slasher also tweeted that the last Bonjwa, Flash, is one of those players as he is recovering from surgery. Could this be that we are moving closer and closer to the end of Brood War as we know it? We will just have to wait and see.

Alright everyone, here we go again. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, September 7th.
Well over the weekend we had some great action over in Korea for the Up and Down matches to decide the final Code S and Code A spots for the next season. Here are the results from Day 1:
SuperNova over Alicia, Leenock over Byun, SuperNova over Yoda, Alicia over Byun, Leenock over Yoda, SuperNova over Byun, and Leenock over Alicia. This means that Code S goes to SuperNova and Leenock, with Alicia, Yoda, and Byun all going to Code A.
From Day 2 play we had a ton of matches to decide this group: Losira over MC, Check over Kyrix, Jjakji over Losira, MC over Kyrix, Check over Jjakji, Losira over Kyrix, Check over MC, Jjakji over Kyrix, Losira over Check, and Jjakji over MC. These results set up playoff rounds where we had Check over Losira, Losira over Jjakji, Jjakji over Check, Losira over Check, and finally Jjakji over Check. In the end, the results are Jjakji and Losira to Code S, Check, Kyrix, and the great MC all going to Code A.
In other news, the final invites to DreamHack Valencia have been announced. For the complete list we have Lucifron, Rain, Hero, Thorzain, DRG, Idra, Huk, and finally Naniwa.
Also announced is the TL TeamSpeak Open #23. This time it is a 4v4 format. That should be fun and excited to see what kind of teams appear from this. Tune into Team Liquid this weekend for those matches.
Another announcement today is from ESV.tv, who used to be iCCup. It seems that they have reached a partnership deal with GomTV and the GSL. It appears that the winner of it's Korean Weekly finals at the end of the series will be automatically awarded a Code A spot. This is great news for ESV and Gom and it signals another step into GSL.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, June 26th
Here we go everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, June 26th.
We had Championship Sunday in the HomeStory Cup 3 tourney. We were down to just 4 matches today as first we had the lower bracket finals with Tarson falling 1-3 to MC. Next was the Upper Bracket final where Naniwa handled Huk 3-2. This led to the consolation game between the losers, Huk and MC where Huk won 3-1, with the winner moving on to face Naniwa in the grand finals. Once those were set we had a break where they showed a hilarious interview of Machine from a Ukrainian man who thought he was Idra. Check out that VOD if you get a chance. With everything set up, the finals started. It was a standard high-level PvP 4-gate microfest, but in the end our Champion is the ever dominating, DreamHack champion Huk! This has been quite a successful week for him and Team Liquid. Congrats to all of them and I am sure Huk and Naniwa will be meeting soon in Korea.
We also had the final day of play in the NASL Open. The final match was between TSL.Puma and TSL.aLive, guaranteeing another Korean in the NASL. It was a hard fought match, but in the end Puma took the series and will be coming to California for the championship weekend.
Coming up Sunday night/Monday morning we have Code A GSL play as players like Nuts, Leenock, Min, Check, Tassadar, Ryung, and Hero face off to advance in that tournament. Tune in to the Weekly Edit on Tuesday where I will cover those results and much more from this week in StarCraft 2.

So the dominating news is of course DreamHack, still going strong. Yesterday we had the final standings for the first 4 groups. Today we will cover the rest along with what bracket results we have so far.

Group F:
July: 5-0, HasuObs: 4-1, Thorzain: 3-2, Sjow: 2-3, Machine: 1-4, and Sushi: 0-5. I highly recommend the July/Thorzain series. All three amazing games.
In group G:
White-Ra: 5-0, Predy: 3-2, Goody: 3-2, Osho: 2-3, Jinro: 1-4, and Elfi: 1-4.
Finally, group H:

These results have set up the top 16 players for the championship brackets. Here are the results from those matchups so far:
Socke eliminated Ret 2-1 and then Huk eliminated Predy 2-0 and will face Socke in the next round. Following that we had July take down Mana 2-1, and Sen take out Sase 2-0. Sen advances to meet up with July in the next round. Following that up we had Bomber take out HasuObs 2-0. Then we had the rematch of Idra and MC, one of the best rivalries in SC2 so far. Idra played strong, but MC played better taking him out 2-0. The final matches of the round of 16 consisted of White-Ra taking on Moon. This is one of the European favorites going up against the old WC3 veteran and in the end the Korean Moon takes the series 2-0.
The final match was BratOK taking on Naniwa and in the end Naniwa advances in a 2-0 victory to face Moon tomorrow, on Championship Monday at DreamHack. Catch those matches started early Monday morning at 1 AM PST.
We also had the final seed bracket for the NASL. With today's results, we know the entire bracket except for the Open Tourney winner which will be decided in the coming week. In today's play we had 4 players going head to head for a chance to face, well, to face the Emperor himself, SlayersBoxer live and in the flesh. The first match up was MC taking down Cruncher 2-0. The next match was Moman falling to Kiwikaki 2-1. The set up MC vs. Kiwikaki with MC taking the victory 2-0 so MC advances to the championships.
In other news, Quantic Gaming has announced their StarCraft 2 Division with a 7 man roster headed up by players such as Ahg and Baz, and DarkCell. Good luck to them in the future.

In NASL playoff action the players were fighting for the championship bracket seed 14 to face Strelok. The first match was Sjow taking on DarkForce in a TvZ. This match was an epic back and forth slugfest, but in the end only one can make it out and today the winner was Darkforce after mining out Metalopolis. After that match we had MoleTrap getting his head shaved which transitioned into Naniwa taking on Axslav. Axslav played strong, but fell to the power of Naniwa. This set up a match between Naniwa and Darkforce for the bracket spot. The match only took 2 games, but it was 2 hard fought games as DarkForce took out Naniwa to advance.
Well, that's about all the news that I have for you tonight. Time to watch more DreamHack. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find the results right here at SC2NewSCast.com.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, June15th
Hello everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, June 15th.
Wow, a ton of player and team news going on the last couple of days, so I will start with that and go quickly:
First we had the announcement of "Team Reign" featuring players such as Kiwikaki, Slush, Spades, and Phoenix. Then we had the announcement that 4Kings are expanding their StarCraft 2 gaming division with the acquisition of Eleven Gaming. The next acquisition we had announced was ALL4ONE gaming being taken over by "Its Gosu eSports". Good luck to each of them in the future. Really, the last bit of team news that we have is a big one as FXOpen has announced a new team member in a player named FXOz. Who is he you ask? Only the Korean Twilight recently from the team fou. Is this the first in recent days of talk about Koreans jumping over to Foreign teams? It could be.
In tournament news we had Week 6 in the EG Master's Cup. The results for this week were:
Mouz over Fnatic 3-2, Sixjax over Dignitas 3-1, EG over MYM 3-2, and Millennium over Complexity 3-1.
Also today we had the first playoff matches for the final spots in the NASL championship bracket. The first matchup today were oGs.Zenio taking on Sixjax.DDE with Zenio taking the series 2-1. The next match was EG.Idra facing off with Mouz.Mana and Idra took that series 2-0. Now Idra and Zenio face off for the bracket slot and the winner of that matchup was oGs.Zenio. That is correct. Idra will not be in the championships unless he wins the NASL open tournament.
In other tourney action this week we had the first week of play in the iCCup Korean Weekly. This is a weekly showdown with tons of players in Korea facing off for a small prize pool. The top winners from each week will advance to a larger tourney. The finals for this week were NSHS.Tassadar facing off with TSL.Alive in a bo7 and Alive took the series 4-1. Tune in next Monday and Tuesday to iicuptv for the second week of action.
In other things to look out for, we have DreamHack coming up this weekend with 5 streams of content. Day9 and Apollo will be casting the main championship matchups with assistance from other stations such as TotalBiscuit and RageQuittv. This event will be exciting as a ton of the top players from around the world will be there.
Also announced is the start of IPLtv which will be casting content such as games and interviews every weekday night at 5PM PST. So much content! On top of that, I am adding to this blog post the recently release video of the top 10 plays from MLG Columbus, so check that out to relive some excellent moments.
Well, I think that is all that I will give you tonight. I had a couple of other talking points, but we need to wrap this up. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
Wow, a ton of player and team news going on the last couple of days, so I will start with that and go quickly:
First we had the announcement of "Team Reign" featuring players such as Kiwikaki, Slush, Spades, and Phoenix. Then we had the announcement that 4Kings are expanding their StarCraft 2 gaming division with the acquisition of Eleven Gaming. The next acquisition we had announced was ALL4ONE gaming being taken over by "Its Gosu eSports". Good luck to each of them in the future. Really, the last bit of team news that we have is a big one as FXOpen has announced a new team member in a player named FXOz. Who is he you ask? Only the Korean Twilight recently from the team fou. Is this the first in recent days of talk about Koreans jumping over to Foreign teams? It could be.
In tournament news we had Week 6 in the EG Master's Cup. The results for this week were:
Mouz over Fnatic 3-2, Sixjax over Dignitas 3-1, EG over MYM 3-2, and Millennium over Complexity 3-1.
Also today we had the first playoff matches for the final spots in the NASL championship bracket. The first matchup today were oGs.Zenio taking on Sixjax.DDE with Zenio taking the series 2-1. The next match was EG.Idra facing off with Mouz.Mana and Idra took that series 2-0. Now Idra and Zenio face off for the bracket slot and the winner of that matchup was oGs.Zenio. That is correct.
