Welcome everyone to your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast. I am TheAmazombie and this is the cast covering Wednesday, August 31st.
Well, the heat of August is coming on strong in the GSL. Over my weekend we had both days of action in the Ro8. On day 1 we had Optimus tearing through Keen 3-1 and TOP over Genius 3-1. On day 2 we had the premier match as MVP took on Huk. In a completely 1-sided match, MVP tore through the foreign hope 3-0. The other match as the toss up as July took on Ryung. Ryung, while amazingly strong is known for his TvT and could not hold to the hyper-aggression of JulyZerg as July took the series 3-2. All players are advancing to the bo5 semifinals next week.
In other news, the NASL has announced all of their players and groups for season 2. They have limited it to 40 players, 5 8-player groups instead of the 50, 5/10 of last season. The groups are as follows:

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, August 14th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, August 14th.
Well, just like yesterday there was not a ton of action in the tourney world, but what there was sure was great. We will start with the grand finals in the IPL Season 2. The players duking it out for the $15,000 were Nerchio and White-Ra. Even though Nerchio had fought hard all the way to the finals, in the end he fell to White-Ra's might 3-1.
That was about all the play worth mentioning, but in other news the community has been speculating over a mysterious tweet coming from EG today. It had some gibberish and a link to a page on myeg.net with a counter and what appears to be some clues written in the back ground. The counter is supposed to finish around noon PST on Tuesday. Also, since the page was first released, it appears to that the background has changed a bit and an audio clip was added that had what can only be described as audio clues as well. No one seems to have anything solid, ideas range from Huk or White-Ra joining EG to Saviour or Leta coming to SC2.
At this point in time there is not much info, so stay tuned for that. I am sure that whatever it is we will be talking about it on this week's episode of The Weekly Edit.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, August 12th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, August 12th.
Well, let's start today with GSTL from early this morning. The teams were FXOKorea (formally fou) taking on ZeNEX in a bo7 matchup. Here is the run down from those exciting games:
Hack over Gumiho, Leenock over Hack, Puzzle over Leenock and asd, then we had TheBest tear through Puzzle, Line, and Coco to take the victory for ZeNEX 4-3.
Also today we had the Battle.net NA invitational. I will give you a complete list of scores:
Winner's Round 1: Huk over Ostojiy 2-0, Select over TT1 2-0, Sheth over Kiwikaki 2-0, and Idra over DDE 2-0.
Winner's Round 2: Select over Huk 2-0 and Sheth over Idra 2-0.
Loser's Round 1: TT1 over Ostojiy 2-0 and Kiwikaki over DDE 2-1.
The rest of the matches will be played tomorrow in that tourney.
Also today we had some more Loser's bracket action in the IPL Season 2. First we had Thorzain taking on Strelok in a bo5. Strelok fights hard, but falls to the might of Thorzain 3-1. The next match was Idra taking on Nerchio. Lately Nerchio has been winning everything and today was no different as he took down Idra 3-0. This set up a Loser's Bracket match between Thorzain and Nerchio and the winner of that matchup was Nerchio, looking unbeatable.
In player news, the Aussie Moonglade has been released from FXO citing that their long-term plan no longer coincided. Good luck to him in the future.
Also announced this weekend is another episode of TL Attack and this time it will be featuring the Grandpa Toss White-Ra. Tune into teamliquid.net on Sunday at 11:00AM PST for those games.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, August 11th
Hello everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, August 11th.
Well, yesterday I talked about F. United scoring huge in the team leagues with a win over MVP, but also taking place after that was oGs taking on TSL and here is the rundown from that:
JYP over Vines, TheSTC over JYP, and then Revival took down TheSTC, Nada, and MC to take the series for TSL 4-1.
We also had IPL season 2 action with some Winner's and Loser's bracket play. The matches in the lower bracket for today were Thorzain taking down Moonan 3-1 on the bo5, and the EU Blizzard Champ Ret falling to Nerchio 3-0. In the upper bracket action we had Idra fall to the recently resurgent Mana 3-2. The final match was White-Ra looking all but dominating in his 3-0 victory over Strelok.
Also today was the final day in Week 1 of the new season in the EG Master's Cup. The week of results were:
Mouz 4-0 over Complexity, Empire 3-2 over FnaticMSI, Gosu 3-1 over Sixjax, and in the final match we had EG take the series over Dignitas 3-1.
In other news the big announcement today is that the Korean teams have withdrawn at the minute from Season 2 of the NASL. They were making some last minute monetary demands which NASL attempted to work with, but due to constraints they could not reach and agreement. I am not sure what this means for season 2 in term of players, if they will replace or just go without for season 2, but I do know that Korean players on Foreign teams were not affected so Rain, Puma, and Hero will be there.
Also announced today were a few things about MLG Raleigh. First of all, there will still be two streams, one featuring Day9 and Husky, the other with the casting archon themselves, Tastosis. DJWheat has other obligations that weekend so will not be able to make it. Also released were the pools for the event. The four Koreans coming on invites are Bomber, Coco, Tester, and Nada. Other Koreans in pool play include DongRaeGu and Rain. I thought that MMA and MVP were confirmed, but it appears that MVP has declined his invite and we have not heard from MMA yet that I know of. Also it has been announced that Complexity is sending Noblesse along with DRG to this event. Can't wait to see these players in action.

Hello again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is you StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, July 17th.

Following that up we had BratOK tenderizing Steak 2-1, and the final match was White-Ra showing the young whippersnapper Cocoa who's boss 2-0.
In player news, we have the announcement that team MYM and Mondragon have parted ways. There was not anomosity. His 6-month contract ran out and they could not come to an agreement for the future. Let's see if Mondragon can find a new team and finally put it all together.
