Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, January 18th.
Well, some action, but mostly drama over the last few days. First though, the GSL. The matches for Monday were MMA and Gumiho advancing with Zenio taking 3rd and YuGiHo taking 4th. On Tuesday we had Genius and DRG advancing with SC taking 3rd and JYP 4th. Then on Wednesday we had MKP and aLive advancing with Happy 3rd and Brown 4th.
In the ESVtv Korean Weekly we had Leenock taking the win over TheSTC 4-2 with SuperNova and Jjakji taking the next two spots.
Now, onto the moves and other drama. We had the announcement from Fnatic.MSI that they have signed WarCraft 3 legend Moon to their roster. Then we had word that Heart has left TSL citing issues with living in the TSL house. This announcement comes on the heels of alleged misconduct in recruiting between Fnatic and TSL. Coach Lee claimed that Fnatic were in talks with the player aLive behind their backs. Fnatic argues that there was no conversations other than off-handed comments between their translator and the team. aLive has left TSL for reasons he claims were unrelated to the team situation. Fnatic and TSL were in the process of discussing a team partnership when all of this went down.
aLive has come forward since and said that there was fault on all sides, including his own, and hopes to have it resolved soon. He claims that there was also some misconduct on Coach Lee's side and has said that if they cannot resolve the situation he will seek legal channels.
If that wasn't enough, later we had the bomb dropped by Rekrul, a well-respected ESPORTS insider and former progamer about other misconduct on the part of Coach Lee from back when the TSL team was started. He states that Lee stole FruitDealer and Tester from oGs to start his new team. Then when Spunky, the founder of oGs went to talk with Lee about it Lee tried to egg him into a fight while secretly taping the incident in order to use as blackmail. This sheds even more light into the problems with TSL and Coach Lee that might explain the player retention problem the team seems to have.
In other player news, Golden and Dragon have left Slayers to pursue foreign team options and Spades has left his team, Reign, to pursue other options as well. Finally, GuineaPig has confirmed that he has left MVP.
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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, September 10th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Saturday, September 10th.
Well well, since the finish of the GSL Season last night, there has not been a ton of noteworthy action. We did have some great player news though. The strong European and former WC3 champion ToD, who recently announced that he will be going to Korea to train, has also announced his new team. It appears that he has been picked up by FnaticMSI. He has mentioned that he is friends with many of the teams players and will be trying hard to become an SC2 champion.
Also announced today is that the Korean player Lyn, formally of WeMadeFOX, has signed with a new team. This is the strange part though as it is not a team one would expect. It appears that he will be playing for Team Pandarea. If you are unaware, they are a strong Chinese team mostly focused on WC3. They have also said that Lyn will be training in WC3 and it does not sound like they are that interested in him for SC2, but we will see what the future holds.
Today we did have some 4v4 action in the TL TeamSpeak Open #23. The 4v4 format is not very well practiced in tourneys today, so it was interesting to see. The final 4 teams were Perseverance, MetroSG, Hyst3ria, and hjaone2. The finals were Perseverance over hjaone2 2-0.
Well, coming up this week is the big launch of NASL season 2 on Wednesday. Division 1 will play with a bang as we will have Vibe vs. Sheth, Hero vs. Cruncher, White-Ra vs. Fenix, and DeMuslim vs. Lowely. Let's hope everything runs smoothly and we get to see some great action.
Well, that's about all the news that we had 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 Friday, June 24th
Alright everyone I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, June 24th.
Well, with all of the excitement with FXO in the team league last night, we also had IM taking on Fou, which I did not get to cover as it was still ongoing, so I will start with that tonight. IM.Happy took a couple of games, scfou took a couple of games, but in the end IM took the series 4-3.
On to the big tourney right now, HomeStory Cup 3 with day 2 action. We had group play for groups E through H with the top two from each group advancing. Here are the resutls from today:
Group E:
MC with the all-kill 3-0, Xlord at 2-1, DeMuslim: 1-2, and Tyler looking weak as he fell 0-3.
Group F:
Stephano coming out of nowhere at 3-0, Huk: 2-1, iNSolence: 1-2, and Naruto at 0-3.
Group G:
Naniwa at 3-0, Tarson: 2-1, and Dimaga and Bischu each dropping without a win.
and in Group H:
White-Ra: 3-0, Goody: 2-1, Darkforce: 1-2, and Machine at 0-3.
Tomorrow will consist of bracket elimination play. Tune into that to see who take home the money.
In the NASL open we had the round of 16 play today. I will report all of the results from that:
First, we had Thorzain taking out Bubbles, and he will play TSL.Revival who took out checkpooh. Next was Fnatic.Rain taking down Minhyuk Kim, who I believe is TSL.Heart. He will face Lee Seok Han, who I believe is TSL.Alive, as he beat Inka. TSL.Puma took down Linko to move on and face NightEnd as he took out Cocoa. The final match ups were TSL.Clide taking out KnowMe to face Lowei who took down DeMuslim. The round of 8 and round of 4 matches are set to be played Saturday with the finals on Sunday. The winner gets into NASL season 2 as well as the championship bracket of season 1.
In team news we recently talked about Rain, formally of TSL leaving the team and expressing hope to join a foreign team. Well, it has happened. Many people speculated, but in the end it was FnaticMSI who got him. He released a statement saying that he is looking forward to his new team with TT1, Fenix, and Sen. That is a good class to belong to. Also in team reports, Inka (The foreign one, not the Korean Inca) has joined Quantic Gaming. Good luck to all of them.
Also in player news, we have a report that during HomeStory Huk was playing custom games on TLOs account and in turn Blizzard calls the tourney and gives a warning to Huk and TLO claiming that if it happens again there would be action up to and including account termination for TLO. I find this funny because people do this on stream all the time. I have seen everyone from Slayers Clan play on Cella's account. After the call Huk and TLO continued to share accounts, so we will see if anything comes from this.
Coming up this weekend not only do we have TL Open #17, but we also have another episode of TL Attack and this week it is featuring the aforementioned Huk. Tune in to teamliquid.net to watch and participate.
Other funsies out there, last night on Destiny's stream we had the "Battle of the Trolls" as Deezer took on CombatEX. In the end Deezer took down Combat 3-2, but them Combat ranted on skype with trash talking abound. This was hilarious, so check it out.
Well, that will wrap it 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.
