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.
That's about all the news that we had for 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 NewS Cast for Saturday, June 25th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, June 25th.
The big action today was the main bracket rounds for the HomeStory Cup tournament. This was double-elim brackets (Sorry, I think the other day I said single-elim) so here are the results from the main bracket:
In round 1, XLord took out Sase 2-1, Huk beat ToD 2-0, Idra beat Tarson 2-0, Socke beat Goody 2-1, Adel beat White-Ra 2-0, Naniwa rained on Cloud 2-0, Thorzain took out Stephano 2-0, and MC tore through Jinro 2-0. In round 2, Huk beat Xlord 2-0, Idra beat Socke 2-0, Naniwa beat Adel 2-0, and MC beat Thorzain 2-0. For round 3 we had Huk advancing over Idra 2-1, and Naniwa took out MC this time 2-1. So the upper bracket finals will be Huk vs. Naniwa. The winner will face the lower bracket finalist, which I will go over those results now, all losers are eliminated:
In round 1, Tarson beat Goody 2-1, Sase beat ToD 2-1, White-Ra took out Cloud 2-0, and Stephano eliminated Jinro 2-0. In round 2, Tarson beat Adel 2-0, Thorzain took out Sase 2-1, White-Ra beat Socke 2-0, and Stephano beat Xlord 2-0. In round 3 Tarson beat Thorzain 2-0 and Stephano beat White-Ra 2-1. For round 4, we had Idra falling to Tarson 2-1, looking very strong right now and MC taking out Stephano 2-0. This sets up a lower bracket finals between Tarson and MC, the winner advancing to the overall finals against Huk or Naniwa which will be tomorrow.
Also today we have the ro8 play from the NASL Open. In the end we have only Korean's advancing as in the ro8 Clide took out Lowei, Puma took out NightEnd, aLive took out Rain, and Revival took out Thorzain. The schedule says that the ro4 was supposed to have been today, but I could not find those results if they did happen.
In the TL Open #17 we had some dominating performances from the Zenex clan out of Korea. The winner was ZenexIceCream taking out his team mate ZenexHack to win the open. Third and fourth place were Mill.DieStar and ZenexLine with fifth through eighth going to the last winner HwangSin, ZenexPuzzle, ZenexYong, and the former WC3 champion Grubby.
Well, that's about all the news we have 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.
