Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Saturday, August 27th.
Well, all eyes today were centered on the second day of play over at MLG Raleigh. The pool play finished up with Pool A being taking by Coca 5-0, pool B by Bomber 5-0, pool C by DongRaeGu 4-1, and the final pool was decided by an awesome bo3 between the undefeated Kiwikaki and the undefeated Puma. Puma had been manhandling nerds up to this point. In an awesome back and forth series that really could have gone either way, Puma took it 2-1 to take the pool 5-0.
In championship bracket play, we had the first couple of rounds decided already. In the first round of Championship Bracket play we had HwangSin over RSVP 2-0, PainUser over Lost 2-0, DeMuslim over Cruncher 2-0, and ostojiy over wbc 2-1. In the second round we had Drewbie over HwangSin 2-0, Orly over PainUser 2-0, DeMuslim over KawaiiRice in extended series 4-2, and Tyler over Ostojiy 2-1. The final round of the night was round 3 where we had the winless InControl take out Drewbie 2-0, Moonan over Orly 2-1, DeMuslim over TLO 2-0, and the teamkill as Haypro took out Tyler 2-0.
As for tomorrow, we still have a ton of action for Championship Sunday. The champions winners face off as Coca will take on Puma, and Bomber will take on DRG. In the loser's bracket play we still have a ton of outstanding players with Hero, Ret, DeMuslim, Haypro, the unknown story this MLG in TriMaster, who got into group play by winning an open bracket, Rain, Sheth, Idra, Trickster, Sjow, Slush, Nada, Huk, Naniwa, the darkhorse hero so far in Kiwikaki, Select, and Noblesse. Tune into tomorrow as the action should commence at 7:00 AM PST, not long after this cast goes live.
In other non-MLG related news, the NASL has released the names of another 5 players for Season 2. Today they have announced Liquid'Hero, EG Puma, FnaticMSI.TT1, coL.Cruncher, and Dignitas.Sjow. I am getting more and more excited as these names continue to come out.
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.
