StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, August 28th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, August 28th.
It was championship Sunday on the East Coast of United States with MLG Raleigh. We went into today with Koreans guaranteed 4 of the top 6 spots and a lot of strong foreigners in contention. For the championship brackets semifinals we first had Coca take on Puma. While Puma is one of the favorites to take the entire tourney, he fell to the might of Coca 2-0. The other match was Bomber, the other favorite picking apart DongRaeGu in an easy 2-0 victory. For the winner's bracket finals we had Bomber, in two very fast games, make Coca look outclassed 2-0.
Now, for the loser's bracket play from today.I will give a rundown of the earlier rounds:
Machine over InControl 2-1, Hero over Moonan 2-0, DeMuslim over Ret 2-1, TriMaster over Haypro 2-1. Next was Rain over Machine 2-0, Hero over Sheth 2-0, DeMuslim over Trickster 2-1, and TriMaster over Idra 2-1.
Next was Sjow taking out Rain 2-0, Hero over KiwiKaki 2-0, Nada over Select 2-0, and Huk over Noblesse 2-1.
This set up Sjow falling to Hero 2-1 and Nada tearing through Huk 2-0.
For the next semifinal round DongRaeGu took out Hero 4-3, and Nada showed the heart of a champion as he took down Puma 4-3. This brought on a brilliant moment where after his victory Nada came out of the booth and scream at the crowd "I am Nada!" It was a great moment to see.
The last two loser's bracket rounds were the great Nada falling to DRG 2-0, and Coca eliminating DRG 2-1. The finals were then set with Coca trying to come back in the extended series against Bomber.
These were some close matches, but in the end our champion is ST.Bomber in a 4-1 victory over SlayersCoca.
Congrats to Bomber for dominating nerds all weekend.
With his third place victory, this means that DRG has finally sealed a Code S spot. I am assuming that Sjow will receive one of the Code A positions as he is on his way to Korea anyway.
The only other news of note today was the release of the next 5 player names for the NASL season 2. Today we had Select, Rain, Moonan, Axslav, and Morrow. Only 15 more players to be announced within the next few days.
Coming up Monday morning are the GSL Code A finals as MarineKing will try to get back into Code S, but his challenger, Ganzi wants it as well. Tune in tomorrow for a complete rundown of that event.

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.

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.
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.

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.
