Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, December 9th.

In the ro16 we had MarineKing over Moonglade 2-1, Kas over Huk 2-1, MVP over MacSed 2-1, Bling over Killer 2-1, XiGua over Snute 2-0, F91 over DarkForce 2-1, Titan over Kiwikaki 2-1, and SuperNova over Goody 2-0.

In the semifinals we then had MVP over Kas 2-0 and XiGua over Titan 2-0.
Tune in tomorrow for the finals between MVP and XiGua.
There was an interview released today with Naniwa on his recent transfer from Complexity to Quantic. In it he cites that he was not comfortable living in the MVP house and wanted to be on the same team with Sase in the StarTale house as his main motivations for the switch. He said that he did not blame Complexity and that they did all that they promised for him in their contract. Hopefully he find peace with his new team.
Also announced today is that Glider of ThePortraitArt.com and Team Liquid's resident artist has asked for help in voting to become YouTube's featured artist. If you like the TL drawings and want to support, I will provide a link at the bottom of the post on sc2newscast.com to vote over at YouTube.

NewSCast for 8-Dec-11
Well, here we go again. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, December 8th.
The main bulk of action today was over in the WCG Grand Finals in Korea. We had groups E-H play today and in the end it was Huk and Snute taking group E, DarkForce and MarineKing taking group F, Bling and Kiwikaki taking group G, and finally we had SuperNova and MacSed taking group H and advancing to the championship brackets. As for those brackets, here are the matchups starting tomorrow:
Moonglade vs. MarineKing, Huk vs. Kas, MVP vs. MacSed, Bling vs. Killer, XiGua vs. Snute, DarkForce vs. F91, Titan vs. Kiwikaki, and SuperNova vs. Goody.
In other big news today, Naniwa, the strong foreign protoss hope, has had his contract transferred from Complexity to Quantic Gaming. This means that both Nani and Sase will be living together in Korea practicing at the StarTale house. Complexity and Naniwa both are citing issues with each other and stating that Naniwa will be more comfortable working and living with Sase in Korea. On a related note, EFSI World is reporting that someone close to the discussions has stated that Naniwa is the most difficult and disrespectful player and that "he needs to seek professional help." We will see how Johan does with his new team though.
Also announced today are the dates and setup for HomeStory Cup IV. In case you missed it, HomeStory Cup is a tourney set up in Germany where community member Dennis Gehlen invites player to his loft in Germany and holds a big weekend tournament with top players from around the world. Last year's HomeStory Cup III was one of the most popular tournaments with tons of players and casters, the layed back attitude of it all, and with Huk taking the title just a week after DreamHack Summer.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, September 21st - NO CAST
NO PODCAST THIS WEEK
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, September 21st.
Well, there was a ton of Code A and Code S action over the last few days leading up to tonight. We will go over the matches quickly:
Code A ro32: sC over Revival, Select over Alicia, Monster over MC, GuMiHo over Kyrix, YuGiHo over ShinyStar, Smart over JookTo, Curious over Sniper, Sjow over Maka, FruitDealer over Sase, Hero over Violet, Oz over Byun, SuperStar over Tassadar, Dream over Tester, Lucky over Naniwa, Check over Weekend, and finally Sage over Yoda.
In Code S we have had MVP, Clide, Ryung, Bomber, NesTea, MMA, asd, and Virus advancing. Ensnare, MarineKing, Huk, and Nada all retain, and Puzzle, Noblesse, Keen, and Zenio all fall to the Up and Down matches.
We also just tonight started the Code A ro16. The foreign hope Select was first up and he fell 2-0 to the might of sC. Next we had GuMiHo taking out Monster 2-0. To follow that up we had YuGiHo over Hero 2-1, and the final match was Sjow falling to Curious 2-0. This means that all foreigners has been eliminated from Code A.
Over in the NASL we had division 1, week 2 play. The results were Cruncher over Vibe 2-0, Hero over Fenix 2-0, Lowely over White-Ra 2-0, and DeMuslim over Sheth 2-0.
In other news, there was a contract snaffu between Millennium, Complexity, and the player Stephano. It appears that the end results of everything is that Stephano will remain with Millennium but have to pay a fine for breaking his newly signed contract with Complexity. All sides appear to have reached an agreement on this with Alex from EG as a negotiator. Good luck to all of them.
Speaking of Complexity though, they have announced their new player. It appears that they have reached an agreement with Naniwa, the very strong European Protoss fighting in Korea currently.
Also announced today is the merger of VpGamers and CheckSix gaming. VPs player roster has been acquired to form another up and coming North American team.
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.

Huk over Mana 2-1, Rain over Axslav 2-1, BratOK over Haypro 2-1. This means the division standings after 1 week or play are:
Huk 1-0
Rain 1-0
BratOK 1-0
Haypro 0-1
Axslav 0-1
Mana 0-1
I am not sure what is going on with the other two players in that group. Their match was postponed.
In other news today, we have the announcement of the GSL brackets and groups. For Code S, the groups are as follows:
Group A: MVP, Ensnare, Clide, and Noblesse.
Group B: Ryung, MarineKing, Puzzle, Bomber.
Group C: Keen, Nada, MMA, NesTea.
Group D: Huk, Virus, Nuclear (asd), Zenio
Group E: July, HongUn, Ganzi, Losira.
Group F: Genius, Happy, Leenock, Jjakji
Group G: Polt, SangHo, DRG, Taeja
and Group H: TOP, Coca, SuperNova, aLive.
In Code A play, the brackets are as follows:

In other news, the strong terran player DDE has announced that he is no longer with team Sixjax gaming. Not long after that announcement, it became public that the entire team is disbanding. While this team has had its issues since forming, they were a decently talented team overall. This means that along with DDE, Vibe and Coco are up for grabs.

We had Championship Sunday in the HomeStory Cup 3 tourney. We were down to just 4 matches today as first we had the lower bracket finals with Tarson falling 1-3 to MC. Next was the Upper Bracket final where Naniwa handled Huk 3-2. This led to the consolation game between the losers, Huk and MC where Huk won 3-1, with the winner moving on to face Naniwa in the grand finals. Once those were set we had a break where they showed a hilarious interview of Machine from a Ukrainian man who thought he was Idra. Check out that VOD if you get a chance. With everything set up, the finals started. It was a standard high-level PvP 4-gate microfest, but in the end our Champion is the ever dominating, DreamHack champion Huk! This has been quite a successful week for him and Team Liquid. Congrats to all of them and I am sure Huk and Naniwa will be meeting soon in Korea.
We also had the final day of play in the NASL Open. The final match was between TSL.Puma and TSL.aLive, guaranteeing another Korean in the NASL. It was a hard fought match, but in the end Puma took the series and will be coming to California for the championship weekend.
Coming up Sunday night/Monday morning we have Code A GSL play as players like Nuts, Leenock, Min, Check, Tassadar, Ryung, and Hero face off to advance in that tournament. Tune in to the Weekly Edit on Tuesday where I will cover those results and much more from this week in StarCraft 2.
That's about all the news that we had for 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 NewS Cast for Saturday, June 25th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, June 25th.
The big action today was the main bracket rounds for the HomeStory Cup tournament. This was double-elim brackets (Sorry, I think the other day I said single-elim) so here are the results from the main bracket:
In round 1, XLord took out Sase 2-1, Huk beat ToD 2-0, Idra beat Tarson 2-0, Socke beat Goody 2-1, Adel beat White-Ra 2-0, Naniwa rained on Cloud 2-0, Thorzain took out Stephano 2-0, and MC tore through Jinro 2-0. In round 2, Huk beat Xlord 2-0, Idra beat Socke 2-0, Naniwa beat Adel 2-0, and MC beat Thorzain 2-0. For round 3 we had Huk advancing over Idra 2-1, and Naniwa took out MC this time 2-1. So the upper bracket finals will be Huk vs. Naniwa. The winner will face the lower bracket finalist, which I will go over those results now, all losers are eliminated:
In round 1, Tarson beat Goody 2-1, Sase beat ToD 2-1, White-Ra took out Cloud 2-0, and Stephano eliminated Jinro 2-0. In round 2, Tarson beat Adel 2-0, Thorzain took out Sase 2-1, White-Ra beat Socke 2-0, and Stephano beat Xlord 2-0. In round 3 Tarson beat Thorzain 2-0 and Stephano beat White-Ra 2-1. For round 4, we had Idra falling to Tarson 2-1, looking very strong right now and MC taking out Stephano 2-0. This sets up a lower bracket finals between Tarson and MC, the winner advancing to the overall finals against Huk or Naniwa which will be tomorrow.
Also today we have the ro8 play from the NASL Open. In the end we have only Korean's advancing as in the ro8 Clide took out Lowei, Puma took out NightEnd, aLive took out Rain, and Revival took out Thorzain. The schedule says that the ro4 was supposed to have been today, but I could not find those results if they did happen.
In the TL Open #17 we had some dominating performances from the Zenex clan out of Korea. The winner was ZenexIceCream taking out his team mate ZenexHack to win the open. Third and fourth place were Mill.DieStar and ZenexLine with fifth through eighth going to the last winner HwangSin, ZenexPuzzle, ZenexYong, and the former WC3 champion Grubby.
Well, that's about all the news 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.
