SORRY GUYS, NO CAST TONIGHT. I AM JUST SO TIRED AFTER WORK - GOING TO BED. THANKS!
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, January 20th.
Well, some action heating up over in Kiev at IEM. The groups today were group C with Pomi, MMA, HasuObs, and TargA and group D with qxc, Dimaga, Hero, and Feast. In group C we had MMA and Pomi advancing. In group D we had Dimaga and Feast. This sets up a finals bracket of Dimaga vs. Pomi, White-Ra vs. Kas, Naniwa vs. Zenio, and Feast vs. MMA.
We also had day 2 in the NASTL with Mousesports taking on RoxKIS. In the matches we had Bigs over LiveZerg, Thorzain over Slivko, and Mana over Fraer to take the one-sided victory for Mouz 3-0.
Over in the GSL, we had group nominations for Code S ro16. The groups are as follows:
Group A: MVP, Gumiho, Curious, and aLive.
Group B: MMA, Oz, Puzzle, and SuperNova.
Group C: MC, Ganzi, Jjakji, and Parting, and finally
Group D with: NesTea, DRG, MarineKing, and Genius.
Look for Code S play to start back up come February 1st.
No other major announcements except that MLG has released more details on their upcoming Winter Season. There will be a 32-player tourney, called the "Winter Arena," to set up players for group and open bracket play for the upcoming MLG Columbus. Those 32-players will come from the top 8 of last year, and the top 8 from each of 3 qualifier tournaments. Then the top 8 from this Columbus event which they are calling the "Winter Championships" will advance to the Spring Arena which will choose players for presumably the next event which will be the Spring Championships.
The Qualifiers will take place between January 31st and February 8th. The Winter Arena will be Feb 24th-26th, then the Columbus Winter Championships will be March 23rd-25th. Look for even more details soon.
One last announcement comes from the recently reformed Team Light. They have recruited two new players in Stalife, formally of Complexity, and Golden who just left the Slayers Clan.
Well, that's about all the news that we have for you today. 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, June 17th
Hello everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, June 17th.
Well, first we start off with the finals in the GSL Super tournament with the players SlayersMMA taking on Polt.Prime in a bo7. Before that though we had the special finals for the Special LG 3D League between SC.Fou and MVP.DongRaeGu in a bo5. The winner of that series was DonRaeGu 3-2.
Now, for the GSL Finals the maps were Bel'Shir Beach, Metalopolis, Crossfire, Dual Sight, Terminus, Xel'naga Caverns, and Crevasse. Unfortunately the match only lasted 4 games as the MMA, the Son of the Emperor has fallen to the dominating performance by Polt.
In NASL playoff matches for today the players were fighting for the chance to play WEMade.Moon in the championships. The first match was ST.Ace taking on BratOK in a PvT. In some great positional games, Ace ends up taking the series over BratOK. The second match up was supposed to have been HasuObs vs. Fenix but for some reason Fenix did not show up, giving HasuObs the walkover and eliminating Fenix from contention. This set up a match between HasuObs and Ace in a PvP to take the 13th seed in the championship bracket. The match went to an epic game 3, but in the end only one can move on and this time it is the underdog mouz.HasuObs. Congratulations to him as he earned that win.
In team news it appears that team VPGamers has signed a couple of new players. The first one is PainUser, formally of Lazarus Gaming, and the second is a bit of a surprise as it is popular caster HDStarCraft, who is a decently strong player himself. VPGamers have not made much noise in the tourney scene, so with this signing it appears they are trying to get some more attention. Good luck to HD and PainUser on their new team.
Announced today: the Alienware NA tourney. The first place will receive $1000 as well as a competitor pass for MLG Anaheim. The tourney rounds will take place the weekend of June 25th with the finals on July 6th and casted by MLG. For more information, go to Alienwarearena.com.
Also today we had the start of DreamHack. I will give you the scores that I have so far, but it is going on as I speak, so new stuff is happening right now. The main stream was done by Day9.tv, which had it's official launch tonight. Before the hostname just linked to his justin.tv page, but this is the launch of his official site. Go over and check that out when you get a chance. On to DreamHack results:
Round 1: Morrow falls to Dimaga 2-0, Tyler falls to Strelok 2-1, Naniwa takes out Moman 2-0, BratOK takes out NightEnd 2-1, Socke takes out DieStar 2-0, and Ret takes out Jimpo 2-0. In round 2 we had Ret tearing apart Tyler 2-0, Socke taking out Morrow 2-0, Dimaga falling to BratOK 2-0, Naniwa dominating Jimpo 2-0, Strelok taking down Moman 2-0, and DieStar falls to NightEnd 2-1. In the last round that is completed as of this moment we had Morrow fall to BratOK 2-1, Naniwa take Strelok 2-1, Dimaga take DieStar 2-0, Ret fall to Moman 2-1, NightEnd beat Socke 2-1, and Tyler fall again to Jimpo 2-1.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, June 4th
Alright everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, June 4th.
Well well well. We had a full day of amazing matches over at MLG Columbus. First, in pool play, here are the placements:
Group A:
Naniwa: 4-1, Slush: 3-2, Moon: 3-2, Fenix: 3-2, Drewbie: 2-3, and Gretorp: 0-5
Group B:
MMA: 5-0, July: 4-1, Sheth: 3-2, Sjow: 2-3, Kiwikaki: 1-4, and Moonan: 0-5.
Group C:
Idra: 4-1, MC: 4-1, Ret: 3-2, Thorzain: 3-2, Tyler: 1-4, and Select at 0-5
and Group D:
Losira: 5-0, Haypro: 3-2, InControl: 2-3, Machine: 2-3, Major: 2-3, and TLO: 1-4.
Now I have to recommend checking out a few matches including Sjow vs. MMA, as well as July vs. MMA as Game 2 of that matchup was truly epic.
Now, for tomorrow in the Championship bracket we will have Naniwa facing off against Lorisa and Idra taking on MMA. Those will both be some exciting matches. As for the Championship Loser's bracket, we had the first 2 rounds played tonight and here are the results:
Cruncher went 2-1 against Agh, and then went 2-0 over Gretorp. Next was Vibe going 2-0 over Morrow and then taking out TLO 2-0. Then there was QXC go 2-1 over Axslav and then fall 2-1 to Select. The last matches in those rounds were KawaiiRice going 2-0 over Namchir and then going 2-1 over Moonan. To start off lower bracket play tomorrow we will have Cruncher taking on Kiwikaki, Tyler taking on Vibe, Select vs. InControl, and Drewbie vs. KawaiiRice.
Also tonight we had week 8, division 4 play over at the NASL. We had 2 more walkovers tonight. These are due to the fact that some players are giving up because of their chances this late in the tourney as well as due to MLG week. Here are the results:
Select gets the 2-0 walkover from BratOK, Ret continued his dominance as he went 2-0 over Catz, HasuObs took the series from Stalife 2-1, MC got the 2-0 walkover from Goody, and finally there was ACE taking the series 2-1 over Machine. Here are the standings in the division after 8 weeks:
Select: 7-1, Ret: 6-2, Ace: 6-2, HasuObs: 5-3, MC: 5-3, Stalife: 3-5, BratOK: 3-5, Goody: 2-6, Catz: 1-7, and Machine at 1-7.
Make sure to mark off everything for Sunday as it is both Championship Sunday at MLG as well as NASL Group of Death play. This is an exciting time if StarCraft fans.
