Welcome everyone to the StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, July 22nd. I am TheAmazombie so let's get started.
Well, today was a little more relaxed day from the last few when it comes to news. First we had the IPL with Day 6 Loser's Bracket play. The first match was Nerchio taking down Kiwikaki 2-0. Next we had State looking strong as he took down Merz 2-0. The third match of the night was Ret tearing through Ranged 2-1 and the final match of the night was Cocoa taking down Steak 2-1.
Also early Friday morning we had the GSTL matches, FXOpen taking on IM and NSHoseo taking on StarTale. I covered the amazing matches from FXOpen yesterday but in case you missed it, QXC all-killed IM. I am not trolling, that is what happened. The other match, Hosea vs. StarTale started with SuperStar falling to Tassadar, then we had Squirtle taking down Tassadar. Next was Sculp who took out Squirtle and July, but then fell to Bomber. Then Seal took out Bomber and NSHoseo takes the series 4-2.
In other news we have the announcement that Team Dignitas has signed the Korean player TanDongHo from Team ZeNEX. Good luck to him and his new team.
Also, we have another announcement of a deal between the Korean team MVP and the NA team Complexity. They will share resources in Korean and elsewhere while the players DongRaeGu and Genius will wear Complexity jerseys while outside of Korea and play under the tag of "coL.MVP." This is similar to the SKGaming/oGs deal announced last week.
Also announced today, coming up on Sunday is another episode of TL Attack. The player this week is none other than the Terran hero mouz.Thorzain. Tune into teamliquid.net for those games.
Well, that's about all of 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 Thursday, July 21st
Welcome everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, July 21st.
First of all, the huge news out of Korea today - the GSTL which is going on right now as I am recording this - just had an amazing moment. The first match was FXOpen taking on IM. Here are the results:
QXC over Horror on Bel'Shir Beach
QXC over BBi on Xel'naga Caverns
QXC over dreamtt on Metalopolis
and then...
QXC over MVP on Tal'darim Alter to take the first foreign all-kill in Korea for SC2 as well as the first win for FXO in the GSTL. Congrats to QXC and his team and this was a huge moment for them, the community, and StarCraft 2 History.
Well, we have some more news coming out of the Puma/EG/TSL news that broke last night. Today Coach Lee spoke more to explain his stance and Alex from EG also stated their point. According to Alex, Puma has not actually been signed by EG as of yet. It sounds more and more like a lot is being made out of some cultural difference and misunderstanding. Check out tonight's episode of Weapon of Choice for more information.
Well, we had Week 5 play in the GSTL. The match from Thursday morning was oGs/TL taking on Prime. In game 1 MC took out Hannibal. Game 2 was MC falling to BBoongBBoong, who continued to take out TOP in game 3. For game 4 Nada took him out. Game 5 was Check taking out Nada. For game 6 oGs fielded the Canadian hero Huk who took out Check and then took out MarineKing in the final match. oGs wins the series 4-3.
We also had day 5 play in IPL season 2. Today's matches were the first round in the Loser's Bracket. The first match was DieStar falling to Drewbie 2-1. Next we had Tarson taking out Fury 2-0. The following match was Destiny falling to Axslav 2-1, and the final match of the night was DarkForce dominating DDE 2-0.
After 3 weeks of play in the AHGL here are the current standings: Microsoft on top with 7 points. Amazon following that up also undefeated in matches but with only 6 points. Google in third at 2-1, 2 points. Facebook coming in fourth at 1-2, -1 points. Next is Zynga with the same score. Dropbox and Twitter are both at 1-2, -2 points, and coming in last is Yelp with -8 points at 0-3.
With MLG Anaheim coming up just around the corner we have the full player list released today. Some of the top players that are going to be in the open bracket for this event are:
Tyler, QXC, Vibe, Major, Fenix, Destiny, DeMuslim, Jinro, Merz, Sonkie, White-Ra, HD, and KawaiiRice.
This is looking to be rather exciting. Go to majorleaguegaming.com for the complete list.
In other news, FXO has announced that they have parted ways with the strong Zerg player Sheth. They left on mutual terms and I hope for the best for both the team and for Sheth.
