Hello again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, September 8th.
Well, not a ton of action, but there was some amazing match ups over in the GSL Up and Down Matches early Thursday morning. Here is the complete rundown:
Violet over Tester, Taeja over MarineKing, JYP over Violet, Tester over MarineKing, Taeja over JYP, MarineKing over Violet, Tester over Taeja, MarineKing over JYP, Taeja over Violet, and JYP over Tester. This set up a playoff round where JYP went over Tester, MarineKing over JYP, and finally MarineKing over Tester. This means that our Code S spots went to Taeja and MareinKing with the other 3 players all heading back to Code A.
So now the final Code S spots have been seeded. The winners are SuperNova, Losira, Taeja, Leenock, Jjakji, MarineKing, Ganzi, and DRG. Now let's see who wins Code S this season and how everyone does in the placement matches.
In other news, it has been a bit of a story the last few days where NBA player Gordon Hayward has signed up for the Open brackets at IPL season 3 in Atlantic City. He has stated that he has been playing quite a bit more considering the NBA lock out as well as wanting to help promote ESPORTS in general. Gordon is a Mid-level Terran user who also plays a bit of the other races. Good luck to him and the future of competitive ESPORTS.
Also today we had the final day in Week 4 of the EG Masters Cup. The results from this week are:
Empire over Sixjax 3-1, EG over Complexity 3-2, FnaticMSI over Gosu 3-1, and finally we had Dignitas handing it to Mouz with a quick 4-0 victory.
In game-related news, it appears the the PTR server for Europe is active. There are still some issues it seems and some users having problems getting to it, but there are confirmed reports of players on it. Finally, our European friends can play with the new patches.
In player news, it was just announced is that FXOsC, the very strong Korean player, has moved on to another Korean team, MVP. Also, Elfi has announced that he has left his team Virus over issues with management and communication. Let's see who nabs him up. And the last little bit is that the European ToD has left Millennium Gaming and has said that he is heading over to Korea for a few months. Good luck to all these players!
Well, that's about all the news that we had for you tonight. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find us here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, August 4th - Podcast has Returned!
Welcome everyone to the StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, August 4th. I am TheAmazombie and the podcast as returned.
Well, let us start off with the GSTL from Thursday morning. The teams were the 2-time champions Slayers going head to head with Prime. Here is the rundown: Taeja over MarineKing, The HongUn over Taeja, Boxer, and Ganzi, Ryung over HongUn, and finally Terious over Ryung so the Prime clan wins a match 4-2.
Also today we had the group play over at Assembly 2011 in Finland. There were a ton of matches, so I will run down group play result quickly, top 2 advance to championships:
Group A: Dimaga 3-0, Bischu 2-1, Lowely 1-2, and Sein 0-3.
Group B: Morrow 3-0, Seiplo 2-1, Merz 1-2, and Fuzer 0-3.
Group C: Sarens 3-0, Sen 2-1, Protosser 1-2, and Naama 0-3.
Group D: Sjow 3-0, TLO 1-2, Adelscott 1-2, and Happy 1-2.
Group E: Kas 3-0, Welmu 1-2, Grubby 1-2, and Lalush 1-2.
Group F: Stephano 3-0, BratOK 2-1, Bigs 1-2, and Satiini 0-3.
Group G: Mana 3-0, Jimpo 2-1, Huk 1-2, and DarkForce 0-3.
Group H: Nada 2-1, Elfi 2-1, NightEnd 1-2, and Haypro 1-2.
We also had some play in the IPL season 2. This time we had Loser's Bracket round 2 as Nerchio took down Minigun 2-1, Vibe took out State 2-1, Ret win his match over Socke 2-0, and finally Fenix took down Cocoa 2-0. All losers are eliminated from season 2.
Make sure to tune in Friday morning at 6 AM PST for the Boxer/Yellow showmatch over on gomtv. I am excited to see Yellow in action with SC2.
More information has surfaced in the TSL situation that I quickly mentioned in yesterdays post. It appears that TSL was removed from the SC2Conference in Korea due to a dispute over salaries. Fruitdealer and Trickster were promised payment, TSL's Coach Lee lied and told them he did not receive sponsor money when he really did not want to pay them due to their work ethic. In the end it appears that Mr. Lee reneged on the promised deal between the players and lied to cover it up. This is just icing on the cake for issues going on with TSL lately.

We are going to start off with big news coming out of Team Liquid. If you have not heard, the recently released Sheth, formally of FXOpen has a new home with Team Liquid. It has been awhile since TL has announced a new member and the ubermannered Sheth with his skill and attitude is a perfect fit. Congrats to Sheth on the new team. Just for reference, here is the complete roster of Team Liquid:
Nazgul, TLO, Haypro, Tyler, Jinro, Ret, Huk, and now Sheth.
On to tourney play with the up and down matches in the GSL from early this morning. I will run through the single game results, then overall afterward: First we had aLive over Inca, Leenock over Keen, aLive over Banbanssu, Keen over Inca, aLive over Leenock, Keen over Banbanssu, Keen over aLive, and Inca over Leenock. This means that Keen and aLive will retain Code S, Inca, Leenock, and Banbanssu all Code A status.

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 Saturday, July 16th
Welcome everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Saturday, July 16th.
Well, today we had day 3 in the IPL. The first match was our poker hero Kiwikaki falling to Strelok 2-0. Next we had Nerchio looking sloppy as he loses to Cloud 2-0. The next watch was Vile.State taking on Goody. After a bit of a failed Mothership, State falls to Goody 2-1. The final match of the night was Merz falling convincingly to NightEnd 2-0.
Also going on today was the TL TeamSpeak #19. This week the winner was the Korean fighter ZeNEXHack. Second place was Goody with 3rd/4th being NEXReturning and imba.Strelok. 5th/8th were Mana, Ret, Lowely, and DeMuslim. It is good to see a lot of foreigners in the money for this one.
Also today was the Grand Finals of the IEM Americas Championship. The winner's bracket finals were a bo5 between FnaticTT1 and dignitas.Select. Select take the series 3-1 in a group of short, uninspiring games. TT1 dropped down the loser's bracket where he faced EG.Idra. Idra looked good in the series taking down TT1 3-1. The brackets say Select and Idra are supposed to play, but neither seems to care about their seed at they both advance, so that match, it appears will not happen.
In another announcement, the NASL on Sunday is doing a tour of Southern California with Sen, White-Ra, and Gretorp. The great thing about this is that they have published the schedule and are welcoming fans to come around, meet the pros, and have fun with them for the day. On top of that, they will end the day with a "Dollars and Cents" showmatch for the remainder of the budget. This will be a bo7 series between Sen and White-Ra and can be found at the NASL Season 2 channel on Justin.tv.
A quick update on Kiwikaki playing the WSOP: He was knocked out today but he ended up in 210th place, I spot ahead of Daniel Negreanu, and with a pay out of $47,000. Congrats Jonathan on your placement!

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 Friday, July 15th
Hello again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, July 15th.
Well, we will start with the GSTL from early this morning. I went over the results from the FXO match on yesterdays, but if you missed it FXOpen fell to Fou with QXC taking a game. The other match of the night was Zenex taking on StarTale. The first game was Byun over Sound, then he took the game off of Curious. StarTale then took the next game with Ace, who then fell in game 4 to Line. This brought out Bomber to take the next 3 games. StarTale takes the series 4-3.
We also had day 2 of the IPL today. The first match was Thorzain over Axslav 2-1. Next we had Socke go 2-1 over Destiny. The third match was Mana 2-0 over DarkForce, and the final match was DDE falling to Fenix 2-1.
In other news, we have another episode of TL attack this weekend. The featured player this time is none other than the Lord of the Lings Fnatic.Sen. Tune into teamliquid.net on Sunday for those games.
Also, in a big story it appears the the former BW player ForGG is apparently playing SC2 under the name Raptor. This was outed by LiquidHuk on his stream. This is by far one of the most top-rated SC1 players to come over to SC2 other than Nada and July who were not in top form for many years now. This could be quite exciting.
In other player news, Kiwikaki, Jonathan Garneau, has been playing in the WSOP Main Event and his table was featured on ESPN2 today. He did last out the day, but his chip stack is getting a bit low. He is in the money though at 30 grand I believe for sure. Good luck to him on tomorrow!
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 Thursday, July 14th
Here we go everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, July 14th.
Very early this morning our StarCraft 2 day started with the GSTL as Slayers took on TSL. Slayers won the first 2 team leagues, but so far are not off to a hot start as they fell again to TSL 4-2 with Ryung taking 2 games for Slayers and Revival taking 1 game and SangHo taking the other 3 for TSL. Although everyone was hoping to see her, Slayers did not field their newest member Eve. Maybe next time guys! As I am recording this, the first match in the team leagues for this morning has just ended with FXOpen taking on Fou. I guess all I can say is that at least it was not another all-kill. GuMiHo took out Slog, then took out Moonan, then killed Oz, but then FXO took a game. This time it was the hero QXC as he took down GuMiHo by roasting over 100 workers with hellions. Unfortunately the pride did not last long as Choya takes down QXC for his team. Fou takes the series 4-1.
Today we also had the start of the IPL season 2. The first match was Idra taking down Drewbie 2-1. Next we had Minigun taking down DieStar 2-1. The third match was Fury taking on Moonan and Fury was just outclassed in his TvT by Moonan who took the series 2-0. The finals match of the night was Tarson taking on Vibe. Tarson put together some good battles, but fell to Vibe 2-0.
Here is a quick update on the After Hours Gaming League (AHGL.tv) after 1 full week of play we have Amazon on top 1-0 followed by Dropbox, Zynga, and Microsoft each with a win. Next we have Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Yelp coming in with loses after 1 full week. Week 2 is being broadcast right now, so I will have those results as they become available.
In other news, TeamLiquid has announced that they are hosting a "Player's Lounge" next door to MLG Anaheim for players and media to chill and do interviews. Thanks TL for that! Also in big news, there is an announcement that SK Gaming out of Germany has struck a deal with oGs where the players Nada and MC will play for team SK Gaming when out of Korea and for oGs when in Korea. I cannot wait to see SK.MC at a tourney soon!
Also, Dreamhack has released number from the Summer tourney with 1.5 million unique views over the weekend and an average peak of 62,000 viewers at a time between all streams. They also streamed a total 17,300 hours for the entire event. Congrats to DreamHack and the entire community for making the event a true eSports milestone.
