StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, August 12th

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, August 12th.

Well, let's start today with GSTL from early this morning.  The teams were FXOKorea (formally fou) taking on ZeNEX in a bo7 matchup.  Here is the run down from those exciting games:
Hack over Gumiho, Leenock over Hack, Puzzle over Leenock and asd, then we had TheBest tear through Puzzle, Line, and Coco to take the victory for ZeNEX 4-3.

Also today we had the Battle.net NA invitational.  I will give you a complete list of scores:
Winner's Round 1: Huk over Ostojiy 2-0, Select over TT1 2-0, Sheth over Kiwikaki 2-0, and Idra over DDE 2-0.
Winner's Round 2: Select over Huk 2-0 and Sheth over Idra 2-0.
Loser's Round 1: TT1 over Ostojiy 2-0 and Kiwikaki over DDE 2-1.
The rest of the matches will be played tomorrow in that tourney.

Also today we had some more Loser's bracket action in the IPL Season 2.  First we had Thorzain taking on Strelok in a bo5.  Strelok fights hard, but falls to the might of Thorzain 3-1.  The next match was Idra taking on Nerchio.  Lately Nerchio has been winning everything and today was no different as he took down Idra 3-0.  This set up a Loser's Bracket match between Thorzain and Nerchio and the winner of that matchup was Nerchio, looking unbeatable.

In player news, the Aussie Moonglade has been released from FXO citing that their long-term plan no longer coincided.  Good luck to him in the future.

Also announced this weekend is another episode of TL Attack and this time it will be featuring the Grandpa Toss White-Ra.  Tune into teamliquid.net on Sunday at 11:00AM PST for those games.

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 Wednesday, July 20th

Welcome everyone to your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, July 20th. I am TheAmazombie so let's get started.

In huge news to start the cast coming out of Korea, the NASL winner Puma has left TSL.  Not only did he leave TSL, but we have confirmation that he left TSL to join none other than the foreign team Evil Geniuses.  Puma is an extremely high-level terran player and if you have not watched them, check out the finals from the NASL between Puma and MC.  There has been a bit of controversy surrounding this as it appears the EG did not talk with TSL management or coaches at all, but went directly to Puma with offers.  There has been some flack from that, but as of right now they has not done anything illegal, so all is fair.

There was not a ton of stuff going on at the moment, but we did have the finals for the first set of iCCup Korean Weeklies. The finalists were NsHS.Jjajki who took the final series from IM.YongHwa 4-1.  3rd place was ST.Curious with fourth being NsHS.Sage.

In other news, I covered this some on yesterday's Weekly Edit, but in case you missed it, the Korean team Fou was acquired by FXOpen. They are not two teams, they are one team with two management divisions. They have also announced that they are looking to expand the roster and add some new players. A lot of news coming from FXO these days.

In other news, we have the announcement from MLG that there will still be 2 streams for the Anaheim event. Tastosis will not be able to make it this time though. One stream will be the normal Day9/DJWheat combo. The second stream will be casted by none other than HuskyStarCraft and Mr.Bitter. Congrats to them and I hope it all goes well this time.

Also, this weekend we will have another TL Teamspeak Open. This time it is #20. Tune in to TeamLiquid on Saturday for those matches.

That's about all 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.

Weekly Edit #7

Well, this time I am trying something new. We are attempting to make a show out of this thing that I am calling the weekly edit. It is nothing major, still basically the same thing, but with video. I hope that you will give it a chance. Leave comments, critiques and questions either here or over at the teamliquid thread about SC2NewSCast and let me know what you think. Thanks!

The MP3 is still available by the player on the site or by clicking the title.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, July 1st 2011

Here we go, the start of Month 3 for the SC2 NewS Cast.  I am TheAmazombie and we will get down to it:

We will start with the GSTL from last night as it was still going on.  First, as covered yesterday was the all-kill from Zenex over FXOpen.  Next was Fou taking on Hosea.  Not quite an all-kill, but almost.  First was Sirius taking game 1 over Scalp.  Then Sage came in and took game 2 from Sirius, game 3 from asd, game 4 from SC, and game 5 from Leenock.  Hoseo wins 4-1.

We also have the ro8 set in the NASL Season 2 Qualifier.  The final matchups are listed as AllAboutYou vs. SCFou, Polt vs. MarineKing, Vines vs. Hero, and CheckPoo vs. Top, all Koreans.  This means that the open winner was Korean and the season 2 qualifier will be Korean.  As the top 4 players receive an invite to season 2, and the spots 5-8 receive a waiting list spot, this means there could potentially be 8 more Korean players for season 2.

In other news from today, we had the announcement that for MLG Anaheim coming up in a few weeks the GSL will be sending MMA to defend his title as well as the Emperor himself, SlayersBoxer.  This was to be expected as Boxer has to come to California for the NASL finals as well.  The other players they are sending have not been announced as of yet.

Coming up this weekend over at TeamLiquid.net we have TL Open #18 on Saturday.  They also just announced another episode of TL Attack for Sunday featuring another fun player in dignitas.Naniwa.  That should be a good time so tune in there for a chance to play with Naniwa.

Well, that's about all 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.
