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.
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 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.
