NewSCast for 20-Oct-11

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, October 20th.

Well, again the calm before the storm that is BlizzCon starting up this weekend.  Only a bit of action to speak about as we had Day 3 in the up and down matches over in Korea.  The results were sC and Taeja in Code S with Lucky, TOP, and Noblesse taking Code A.

The only action was groups C and D in the ESV.tv Korean weekly finals.  The results in group C were Life 2-0, GuMiHo 2-1, Puzzle 1-2, and Inca 0-2.  In group D we had Coca 2-0, BboongBboong 2-1, JookTo 1-2, and Annyeong at 0-2, the top two from each group advancing for a chance at that Code A spot.

Well, that's about all until tomorrow.  BlizzCon has a ton of action, so this weekend should be packed with SC2.  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.

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.
