Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, August 28th.
It was championship Sunday on the East Coast of United States with MLG Raleigh. We went into today with Koreans guaranteed 4 of the top 6 spots and a lot of strong foreigners in contention. For the championship brackets semifinals we first had Coca take on Puma. While Puma is one of the favorites to take the entire tourney, he fell to the might of Coca 2-0. The other match was Bomber, the other favorite picking apart DongRaeGu in an easy 2-0 victory. For the winner's bracket finals we had Bomber, in two very fast games, make Coca look outclassed 2-0.
Now, for the loser's bracket play from today.I will give a rundown of the earlier rounds:
Machine over InControl 2-1, Hero over Moonan 2-0, DeMuslim over Ret 2-1, TriMaster over Haypro 2-1. Next was Rain over Machine 2-0, Hero over Sheth 2-0, DeMuslim over Trickster 2-1, and TriMaster over Idra 2-1.
Next was Sjow taking out Rain 2-0, Hero over KiwiKaki 2-0, Nada over Select 2-0, and Huk over Noblesse 2-1.
This set up Sjow falling to Hero 2-1 and Nada tearing through Huk 2-0.
For the next semifinal round DongRaeGu took out Hero 4-3, and Nada showed the heart of a champion as he took down Puma 4-3. This brought on a brilliant moment where after his victory Nada came out of the booth and scream at the crowd "I am Nada!" It was a great moment to see.
The last two loser's bracket rounds were the great Nada falling to DRG 2-0, and Coca eliminating DRG 2-1. The finals were then set with Coca trying to come back in the extended series against Bomber.
These were some close matches, but in the end our champion is ST.Bomber in a 4-1 victory over SlayersCoca.
Congrats to Bomber for dominating nerds all weekend.
With his third place victory, this means that DRG has finally sealed a Code S spot. I am assuming that Sjow will receive one of the Code A positions as he is on his way to Korea anyway.
The only other news of note today was the release of the next 5 player names for the NASL season 2. Today we had Select, Rain, Moonan, Axslav, and Morrow. Only 15 more players to be announced within the next few days.
Coming up Monday morning are the GSL Code A finals as MarineKing will try to get back into Code S, but his challenger, Ganzi wants it as well. Tune in tomorrow for a complete rundown of that event.
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 Saturday, August 27th
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.

Well well well, here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, August 25th.
Well, as we are all prepping for the big MLG weekend starting on Friday, not a ton of action is going down. We did have a couple matches in the GSTL last night. The first pairing was F. United taking on Prime. While both teams were looking for a win, all Prime needed was one person for the complete all-kill. We had BboongBboong taking down Thorzain, Fenix, Lyn, and Moon to take the 4-0 victory for Prime. The second match up of the night was Slayers facing off with oGs.TL. This is an awesome back and forth match and here is the rundown:
Ganzi over Cezanne, Supernova over Ganzi and MMA. Taeja then took out Supernova. This brought in MC to take down Taeja and Ryung for the 4-2 victory for oGs-TL.
In other news, MLG has finally released the complete player list for Raleigh. We already knew the pool players, but here are some names from the Open Bracket:
Tyler, Fenix, QXC, Grubby, Jinro, Catz, Noblesse, Hero, Puma, HwangSin, iCCupDiamond, Sonkie, Spanishiwa, and Whiplash.
Also, the NASL has released 5 more players for season 2. The names released today were BratOK, InControl, HwangSin, Sheth, and Moman. They has now released 20 of the total 50 players in the league.

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.
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.
