Alright everyone, here we go again. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, September 7th.
Well over the weekend we had some great action over in Korea for the Up and Down matches to decide the final Code S and Code A spots for the next season. Here are the results from Day 1:
SuperNova over Alicia, Leenock over Byun, SuperNova over Yoda, Alicia over Byun, Leenock over Yoda, SuperNova over Byun, and Leenock over Alicia. This means that Code S goes to SuperNova and Leenock, with Alicia, Yoda, and Byun all going to Code A.
From Day 2 play we had a ton of matches to decide this group: Losira over MC, Check over Kyrix, Jjakji over Losira, MC over Kyrix, Check over Jjakji, Losira over Kyrix, Check over MC, Jjakji over Kyrix, Losira over Check, and Jjakji over MC. These results set up playoff rounds where we had Check over Losira, Losira over Jjakji, Jjakji over Check, Losira over Check, and finally Jjakji over Check. In the end, the results are Jjakji and Losira to Code S, Check, Kyrix, and the great MC all going to Code A.
In other news, the final invites to DreamHack Valencia have been announced. For the complete list we have Lucifron, Rain, Hero, Thorzain, DRG, Idra, Huk, and finally Naniwa.
Also announced is the TL TeamSpeak Open #23. This time it is a 4v4 format. That should be fun and excited to see what kind of teams appear from this. Tune into Team Liquid this weekend for those matches.
Another announcement today is from ESV.tv, who used to be iCCup. It seems that they have reached a partnership deal with GomTV and the GSL. It appears that the winner of it's Korean Weekly finals at the end of the series will be automatically awarded a Code A spot. This is great news for ESV and Gom and it signals another step into GSL.
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 27th
Hello again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, July 27th.
Again, not a ton of action over the Weekend as everyone is ramping up for MLG Anaheim. We will start off though with the GSL. On Monday morning we had the code S semifinals. The first bo5 series was the zerg mastermind NesTea taking on HongUn and having an answer for anything that HongUn went for, NesTea took the series 3-0. The other match up was Losira taking on Byun and in a mirror performance, Losira took the series 3-0 setting up the finals between teammate zerg heroes.
Also in GSL play, we had the first 2 days in the Up and Down matches. The first day had group 1 play with the following results:
MarineKing over FruitDealer, Ryung over Dream, Happy over MarineKing, Ryung over FruitDealer, Dream over MarineKing, Ryung over Happy, Ryung over MarineKing, Dream over FruitDealer, and Happy over Dream. The results mean that Ryung and Happy are promoted to Code S, Dream, FruitDealer, and MarineKing fall to Code A.
In day 2 play we had asd over sC, sC over anypro, asd over Tassadar, Noblesse over anypro, sC over Tassadar, asd over anypro, Noblesse over Tassadar, Noblesse over asd, and Noblesse over sC. The results then are Noblesse and asd promoted to Code S, sC, anypro, and Tassadar to Code A.
We also had the iCCup Korean Weekly with the winner being GuMiho over Taeja 4-1. Third and fourth place were Naya and TheBest. Tune in every Monday and Tuesday for more iCCup Korean action.
In other news, Mr. Chae has announced a show match on August 5th. This will be a best of 5 series between none other than SlayersBoxer and his past BW rival Yellow! Yellow announced his retirement from BW a few months ago and has since been seen working with the GSL. This is an exciting show match put together for the community and for eSports.
Well, the only thing to mention tonight is that the rest of the week and maybe into next week the NewSCast might be late getting posted due to the fact that I will not have access to my office when I normally do. I will post the blog at normal time, but the mp3/podcast might not be up until the afternoon, so you will still get the news in post form.
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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, July 6th
Alright everyone, here we go again. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 News Cast for Wednesday, July 6th.
Well, a lot of news over my weekend here, so we will start with the GSL Code S play. First we had ro32 Day 3 action with group E consisting of SC, MVP, Zenio, and Byun. The winners were Zenio and Byun advancing with SC falling. The next match was group F with Nada, Keen, HongUn, and SuperNova. The winners were Nada and HongUn and Keen falls to the Up and Down Matches. The next day we had Group G with SangHo, Polt, Huk, and aLive. The winners were Polt and the foreign hero Huk with aLive dropping. Next we had group H with Inca, Kyrix, Bomber, and MC. The winners of this match were Bomber and MC with Inca falling.
In other tourney play we had the iCCup Korean weekly. This weeks winner was TSL.JYP taking the finals over ZeNEX.Life 4-2. Third and fourth place were ZenEX.Hack and Classic.PRIME.WE. Tune in to iCCup.tv on Mondays and Tuesdays for more Korean action.
In other news, we had the announcement by Day9 of the "After Hours Gaming League" which features 8 top tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Zynga fighting it out for charity and eSports promotion. Check out VODs and team information over at afterhoursgaming.tv. This week we also had the return of JP's State of the Game featuring the co-hosts Day9, Tyler, and Artosis. Be sure to check that out!
In team news we have the announcement that Trickster has joined StarTale and It's Gosu has signed the strong player HwangSin from Korea. Also the player ChoyaFou is being sent to MLG Anaheim by way of FXOpen. FXOBoss has said that Choya will be sporting an FXO jersey, but this is as a favor of respect, Choya has not left his team Fou.
Coming up this weekend we have the NASL Season 1 championships and we just got the first glance at some picture of the site. It is looking amazing as this should be a huge event. Be sure to tune into nasl.tv for those matches starting on Friday.
I do have a couple of updates for this week in that we have a new twitter finally. You can follow us there @sc2newscast. Also, due to previous engagements I will be out of town for a few days this weekend. I will try to do posts and if I have the equipment I will do podcasts. If I miss a day or two this weekend though, do not worry. I will be back.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, June 22nd
Here we go again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and it is time for your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, June 22nd.
Well, as DreamHack finished this weekend, NASL regular season finishing this week, there is not a lot of major tournament action going on at the moment. We did have Week 7 play in the EGs Master's Cup this week. The results from the week were:
Sixjax over EG 3-1, Mouz over Millennium 3-1, Dignitas takes down MYM 3-1, and finally there was Complexity taking on Fnatic, and actually, I could not find the overall results anywhere. I saw a couple of games on the stream and Complexity was winning, 2-1, but I do not know the final results.
On Monday and Tuesday we had week 2 in the iCCup Korean weekly. The finals had TSL.Prime taking down Zenex.Puzzle 4-1. Tune in next week for more Korean action at iccup.tv.
We did have the first day of play in the NASL Open tournament which pits hundreds of players against one another for a chance to not only be in NASL Season 2, but also for a spot in the championship bracket next month. Out of notable players that have advanced so far, here are a few: Thorzain, Lalush, Hashe, Minigun and Major (have to play each other tomorrow), Inka, Dimaga, NightEnd, Agh, and DeMuslim. A few notable players that have been eliminated include LZGamer, Namchir, Sarens, PokeBunny, and Destiny. The replay packs are available currently as there are 2 rounds scheduled for tomorrow.
In GSL news, the Code A brackets have been released along with a statement that Fenix will be attending code A as well from the MLG. We all thought that Sheth had gotten that spot, but apparently there was some other deal for Sheth. What this means is that Sheth and Jinro are the only 2 foreigners going code A for July, but Thorzain, Naniwa, and Fenix will be code A come August I believe. Well, good luck to all of them in Code A as well as everyone playing in the Team League which starts up today over at GomTV.net.
Coming up tomorrow, we have the start of the HomeStory Cup 3. This is a small 3-day tourney that pits 35 of the world's best players in a LAN format for a piece of the 5000 Euro prize pool. This should be exciting as it features players like Jinro, Thorzain, Idra, Ret, MC, Huk, and Naniwa. Also starting tomorrow is the first 2 rounds of the GeForce SC2 Pro-AM. Make sure to keep your eyes open for that as it comes around. Another thing coming up this weekend is TL Open #17. HwangSin won #16 a few weeks ago, let's see who can take the win this time.
Also in MLG news, they have announced the "League Membership" packages. These packages include free HD streams with no-ads, discounts, early sales, and other MLG perks. The pre-sale starts next week at ten bucks for a 3-month membership or 30 bucks for a full year plus some extra perks. Check those out over at majorleaguegaming.com.
In team news, there was some issues from the Complexity/ROOT merger a few weeks ago and Destiny has parted ways with the team. He admits it was his fault that he could not live up to the contract demands. It is good to hear that they are parting ways without any legal issues. Good luck to both of the in the future.
Well, that's about all the news 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.
