NewSCast for 26-Nov-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, November 26th, the final day of DreamHack Winter.
Well, we will start today with that awesome event that was DreamHack Winter European Championships. I recorded yesterday's cast right after the ro16 finished, so today we will start with the action from the ro8. The first matchup was NightEnd over Naama 2-1, ending the possibility of a rematch from last year. Then we had Puma over DRG 2-1, Hero over Seiplo 2-0, and Ret over Nerchio 2-0. This set up another Team Liquid team-kill situation, which they always seem to get themselves in as Hero took down Ret 3-1 in the semifinals. The other match was Puma over NightEnd 3-1 setting up what became an absolutely epic bo7 between Liquid's Hero and EG's Puma.
While the teams have a long and storied rivalry, many time with EG coming out on top, this was not to be the day as Puma took game 1, then Hero surged back taking the next 3. Puma was not done though as he took games 5 and 6 to tie up the series heading into an awesome back and forth on Antiga Shipyard. As evenly matched as they were, Hero finally took the commanding lead and with manner Nexus abound, Liquid'Hero is your 2011 DreamHack European Champion.
Now Hero and Puma are prepping themselves for NASL Season 2 Grandfinals coming up next weekend. With this win Hero has also qualified for GomTV's Blizzard Cup next month. Good luck Hero!
Well, speaking of the NASL, the other action for today were more matches in the Season 2 Playoffs to see who will be at the finals this coming weekend. The matches today were NightEnd over QXC 2-0 and Sheth over Sjow 2-1 setting up the match where Sheth took the matches 2-1 over NightEnd to advance to the finals.
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.

NewSCast for 17-Nov-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, November 17th.
Well, here we are again with the calm before the storm that is MLG Providence National Championships for 2011. Not a ton of news or action as everyone is gearing up for what may turn out to be the biggest weekend in SC2 ESPORTS to date. We did have some play in the NASL Semi-Open tourney. The matches for today were all loser's bracket action as Drewbie took out Stephano 2-1, Loner took down Zelniq 2-0, Major took out Drewbie 2-1, Attero beat Grubby 2-0, and Pokebunny took out Mentalist 2-1.
In other news Vile Gaming has announced that they have signed a player named "Chance" who will be at MLG in the Open bracket. They are also hinting at another "Korean" announcement coming soon.

On day 2 we had the premier match as MVP took on Huk. In a completely 1-sided match, MVP tore through the foreign hope 3-0. The other match as the toss up as July took on Ryung.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, July 16th
Welcome everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Saturday, July 16th.
Well, today we had day 3 in the IPL. The first match was our poker hero Kiwikaki falling to Strelok 2-0. Next we had Nerchio looking sloppy as he loses to Cloud 2-0. The next watch was Vile.State taking on Goody. After a bit of a failed Mothership, State falls to Goody 2-1. The final match of the night was Merz falling convincingly to NightEnd 2-0.
Also going on today was the TL TeamSpeak #19. This week the winner was the Korean fighter ZeNEXHack. Second place was Goody with 3rd/4th being NEXReturning and imba.Strelok. 5th/8th were Mana, Ret, Lowely, and DeMuslim. It is good to see a lot of foreigners in the money for this one.
Also today was the Grand Finals of the IEM Americas Championship. The winner's bracket finals were a bo5 between FnaticTT1 and dignitas.Select. Select take the series 3-1 in a group of short, uninspiring games. TT1 dropped down the loser's bracket where he faced EG.Idra. Idra looked good in the series taking down TT1 3-1. The brackets say Select and Idra are supposed to play, but neither seems to care about their seed at they both advance, so that match, it appears will not happen.
In another announcement, the NASL on Sunday is doing a tour of Southern California with Sen, White-Ra, and Gretorp. The great thing about this is that they have published the schedule and are welcoming fans to come around, meet the pros, and have fun with them for the day. On top of that, they will end the day with a "Dollars and Cents" showmatch for the remainder of the budget. This will be a bo7 series between Sen and White-Ra and can be found at the NASL Season 2 channel on Justin.tv.
A quick update on Kiwikaki playing the WSOP: He was knocked out today but he ended up in 210th place, I spot ahead of Daniel Negreanu, and with a pay out of $47,000. Congrats Jonathan on your placement!

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, July 15th
Hello again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, July 15th.
Well, we will start with the GSTL from early this morning. I went over the results from the FXO match on yesterdays, but if you missed it FXOpen fell to Fou with QXC taking a game. The other match of the night was Zenex taking on StarTale. The first game was Byun over Sound, then he took the game off of Curious. StarTale then took the next game with Ace, who then fell in game 4 to Line. This brought out Bomber to take the next 3 games. StarTale takes the series 4-3.
We also had day 2 of the IPL today. The first match was Thorzain over Axslav 2-1. Next we had Socke go 2-1 over Destiny. The third match was Mana 2-0 over DarkForce, and the final match was DDE falling to Fenix 2-1.
In other news, we have another episode of TL attack this weekend. The featured player this time is none other than the Lord of the Lings Fnatic.Sen. Tune into teamliquid.net on Sunday for those games.
Also, in a big story it appears the the former BW player ForGG is apparently playing SC2 under the name Raptor. This was outed by LiquidHuk on his stream. This is by far one of the most top-rated SC1 players to come over to SC2 other than Nada and July who were not in top form for many years now. This could be quite exciting.
In other player news, Kiwikaki, Jonathan Garneau, has been playing in the WSOP Main Event and his table was featured on ESPN2 today. He did last out the day, but his chip stack is getting a bit low. He is in the money though at 30 grand I believe for sure. Good luck to him on tomorrow!
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 13th
NOTE: On the cast I started off saying July 11th I think. Sorry. It is for today, so don't let my slip up confuse you. =)
Here we go everyone, I am TheAmazombie and I am back for your StarCraft 2 News Cast for Wednesday, July 13th.
Well, first as a quick note, in case you missed the NASL finals this past weekend, The winner was TSL.Puma with oGs.MC coming in second and Fnatic.Sen taking third. Congrats to Puma for taking the 50 thousand buck prize.
We had a ton of GSL action over the past few days, so I will cover it quickly: In GSL Code A semifinals we had Tassadar take down Leenock 3-1 and Puzzle dominate IM.Happy 3-0. The finals in Code A will be Puzzle vs. Tassadar. In GSL Code S play we had the ro16 play with NesTea over Ensnare 2-0, Coco over Genius 2-0, Trickster over Clide 2-1, Losira over TOP 2-1, HongUn beat Zenio 2-0, MC over Huk 2-0, Byun over Nada 2-0, and Bomber over Polt 2-0. Tonight we have Team play with Slayers taking on TSL. Find those over at gomtv.net.
We had the iCCup Korean weekly. This week's winner was GuMiho over Taeja 4-1 to take the win.
In other news, Blizzard has announced that they are "linking" some of the Battle.net regions. LA and NA will now be connected, EU and RU are now connected, and Korea will be connected with Taiwan. Also announced is that the GSL October finals will not be played in Korea. Where will it be you ask? Well, at Blizzcon in Anaheim! That is right, GSL will be holding a huge event at Blizzcon. That is a special treat for everyone who has tickets to that event. Speaking of GSL, we had the announcement that they are sending MVP and DongRaeGu to MLG Anaheim to join MMA and SlayersBoxer. Speaking of Slayers though, they have introduced their new team member, SlayersEve, the first female programer on the Slayers Team, hand picked by SlayersJessica. Good luck to her on the future.
TeamLiquid has announced another TL Open this weekend, #19, to be played on Saturday. Sign up at teamliquid.net if you are interested.
One last thing, GSL has also announced that for MLG Anaheim they are also sending MVP and DongRaeGu to accompany MMA and Slayers Boxer. I cannot wait to see our foreign heroes taking on such high-end players as MVP and DRG.
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 Friday, July 1st 2011
Here we go, the start of Month 3 for the SC2 NewS Cast. I am TheAmazombie and we will get down to it:
We will start with the GSTL from last night as it was still going on. First, as covered yesterday was the all-kill from Zenex over FXOpen. Next was Fou taking on Hosea. Not quite an all-kill, but almost. First was Sirius taking game 1 over Scalp. Then Sage came in and took game 2 from Sirius, game 3 from asd, game 4 from SC, and game 5 from Leenock. Hoseo wins 4-1.
We also have the ro8 set in the NASL Season 2 Qualifier. The final matchups are listed as AllAboutYou vs. SCFou, Polt vs. MarineKing, Vines vs. Hero, and CheckPoo vs. Top, all Koreans. This means that the open winner was Korean and the season 2 qualifier will be Korean. As the top 4 players receive an invite to season 2, and the spots 5-8 receive a waiting list spot, this means there could potentially be 8 more Korean players for season 2.
In other news from today, we had the announcement that for MLG Anaheim coming up in a few weeks the GSL will be sending MMA to defend his title as well as the Emperor himself, SlayersBoxer. This was to be expected as Boxer has to come to California for the NASL finals as well. The other players they are sending have not been announced as of yet.
Coming up this weekend over at TeamLiquid.net we have TL Open #18 on Saturday. They also just announced another episode of TL Attack for Sunday featuring another fun player in dignitas.Naniwa. That should be a good time so tune in there for a chance to play with Naniwa.
Well, 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.

Well, we have plenty of GSL results to go over. First we will start with Code A, ro16 day 1 play from early this morning. We had Dream go 2-1 over Luvsic, then Leenock looked strong in the 2-0 victory over Yoda. Noblesse took the series 2-0 over Check, and finally Tassadar who has been strong lately took the series 2-1 over Ryung.
In GSTL play we had week 2 of the Jupiter Group. This week it was Prime taking on TSL. Sangho beat Lotzi, BBoongBBoong beat Sangho, Puma then came in to take BBoong down, Puma then cleared the series as he beat MarineKing and Optimus to take the series for TSL 4-1.
Late tonight we also had the GSL Code A ro16 day 2 play. First was Vanvanth taking out Tails 2-1, Puzzle looking strong as he took down the NA hero Sheth 2-0, Happy taking down Yugiho, and finally Jinro took on asd and in the end asd takes the series 2-0 and both foreigners are eliminated from the tournament.
Just finishing before I recorded this was the first series in GSTL play as the foreign hope, FXO, took on Zenex. FXO started with Moonan and Zenex opened up with Hack...and, well, that was all they needed. That is right, Hack took down Moonan, then took down Slog, then beat TGun, and finally took out FXOz. It was a sad thing to watch as the entire series really only took an hour. Maybe next time FXO! Fou is playing Hoseo as we speak right now, we will cover that match tomorrow.
Today we also had the ro32 play in the NASL Season 2 Qualifier. Here is a run-down of the matches from today: Time beat Killer 2-1, AllAboutYou took down KeydCapoch, OptikZero beat ONEzerker 2-0, PoltPrime beat FXOz 2-0, MarineKing beat Alicia 2-1, Nerchio fell to Vines, MiniGun fell to Bubbles 2-0, Hero beat Lalush, CheckPoo went 2-0 over Choya, Jin Yung Park fell to oGs.Inca, and TOP beat TargA. There was supposed to have been more matches, but either they did not play them or they did not release the results as of yet.
Well, that's about all the news that we have for tonight. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
Well, we have plenty of GSL results to go over. First we will start with Code A, ro16 day 1 play from early this morning. We had Dream go 2-1 over Luvsic, then Leenock looked strong in the 2-0 victory over Yoda. Noblesse took the series 2-0 over Check, and finally Tassadar who has been strong lately took the series 2-1 over Ryung.

Next we have group C play as TOP beat Fruitdealer, Genuis beat Virus, Genius beat TOP, Virus beat FruitDealer who has not been looking too hot lately, and TOP beat Virus so Genius and TOP advance. In group D play we had Cocoa take down Alicia, Losira beat MarineKing, Losira beat Cocoa, Alicia beat MarineKing, and Cocoa beat Alicia so Losira and Cocoa advance with MarineKing falling to the Up and down matches.

The only other major tourney that is currently going on is the NASL Season 2 Qualifier with the top 4 players automatically making it into NASL season 2 and spots 5-8 will be on stand-by.

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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, June 24th
Alright everyone I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, June 24th.
Well, with all of the excitement with FXO in the team league last night, we also had IM taking on Fou, which I did not get to cover as it was still ongoing, so I will start with that tonight. IM.Happy took a couple of games, scfou took a couple of games, but in the end IM took the series 4-3.
On to the big tourney right now, HomeStory Cup 3 with day 2 action. We had group play for groups E through H with the top two from each group advancing. Here are the resutls from today:
Group E:
MC with the all-kill 3-0, Xlord at 2-1, DeMuslim: 1-2, and Tyler looking weak as he fell 0-3.
Group F:
Stephano coming out of nowhere at 3-0, Huk: 2-1, iNSolence: 1-2, and Naruto at 0-3.
Group G:
Naniwa at 3-0, Tarson: 2-1, and Dimaga and Bischu each dropping without a win.
and in Group H:
White-Ra: 3-0, Goody: 2-1, Darkforce: 1-2, and Machine at 0-3.
Tomorrow will consist of bracket elimination play. Tune into that to see who take home the money.
In the NASL open we had the round of 16 play today. I will report all of the results from that:
First, we had Thorzain taking out Bubbles, and he will play TSL.Revival who took out checkpooh. Next was Fnatic.Rain taking down Minhyuk Kim, who I believe is TSL.Heart. He will face Lee Seok Han, who I believe is TSL.Alive, as he beat Inka. TSL.Puma took down Linko to move on and face NightEnd as he took out Cocoa. The final match ups were TSL.Clide taking out KnowMe to face Lowei who took down DeMuslim. The round of 8 and round of 4 matches are set to be played Saturday with the finals on Sunday. The winner gets into NASL season 2 as well as the championship bracket of season 1.
In team news we recently talked about Rain, formally of TSL leaving the team and expressing hope to join a foreign team. Well, it has happened. Many people speculated, but in the end it was FnaticMSI who got him. He released a statement saying that he is looking forward to his new team with TT1, Fenix, and Sen. That is a good class to belong to. Also in team reports, Inka (The foreign one, not the Korean Inca) has joined Quantic Gaming. Good luck to all of them.
Also in player news, we have a report that during HomeStory Huk was playing custom games on TLOs account and in turn Blizzard calls the tourney and gives a warning to Huk and TLO claiming that if it happens again there would be action up to and including account termination for TLO. I find this funny because people do this on stream all the time. I have seen everyone from Slayers Clan play on Cella's account. After the call Huk and TLO continued to share accounts, so we will see if anything comes from this.
Coming up this weekend not only do we have TL Open #17, but we also have another episode of TL Attack and this week it is featuring the aforementioned Huk. Tune in to teamliquid.net to watch and participate.
Other funsies out there, last night on Destiny's stream we had the "Battle of the Trolls" as Deezer took on CombatEX. In the end Deezer took down Combat 3-2, but them Combat ranted on skype with trash talking abound. This was hilarious, so check it out.
Well, that will wrap it up for 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 Thursday, June 23rd
Hello again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Thursday, June 23rd.
First of all, we have to start with the GSTL match that happened last night. We had Slayers putting up a good fight, but falling to MVP 4-3.
As for tonight we had day 2 of the GSTL with FXO taking on StarTale. The foreigners test in the team leagues. This was very exciting, so I will give you a bit of commentary. The open game was ST.Tiger going up against the terran hero QXC. QXC was fine, until the DT's got to his base, gg. Game 2 was against Sheth. After a huge 2-base push from Tiger, Sheth held! He held, took the toss's gold on metal, and with banelings abound he took the game! The first foreign team win! In response ST sent out Curious to take down Sheth. This prompted FXO to release their Korean mate Oz who took down Curious with a couple of manner Nexus. ST countered with Squirtle who just killed him with DTs. Moonan was the next to come up but fell quickly with an all-in push. The final results were ST over FXO 4-2. At least it was not the walkover everyone predicted. IM is taking on fou as I speak, so I will cover those games tomorrow.
Over in Germany this morning was the first day ni the Homestory Cup 3 tourney. We have the first 4 groups finish their play today and here are the results with the first two players per group advancing:
Group A:
Sase: 3-0, Jinro: 2-1, then NightEnd: 1-2, and Moman at 0-3.
Group B:
ToD, Thorzain, and HasuObs all tied at 2-1, but I believe because of the system that it is ToD and Thorzain that advance with HasuObs falling and Haypro finishing at 0-3.
Group C:
We had Idra looking strong at 3-0, Cloud going 2-1, then Grubby at 1-2 and Delphi at 0-3. In the final group of the day, Group D we also had 3 players coming in tied at 2-1 with Socke, Adelscott, and Ret, but due to the records it looks like Socke and Adelscott advance. The final player was Jimpo falling 0-3.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow as there is a ton more group action to happen with players like MC, Tyler, Huk, Naniwa, and White-Ra still to play.
Tonight we also have day 2 play in the NASL Open tourney for that spot in the championships. Today we have the ro64 and ro32 play. Notable players that have advanced through these rounds include Thorzain, Rain, NightEnd, Cocoa, DeMuslim, and Inka. Notable eliminations from today include Agh, ToD, Attero, Dimaga, Major, Hashe, and Lalush. Tune in tomorrow for the ro16 play.
Team Gosu eSports has announced the signing of PokeBunny. Congrats to him, hope it all works out. We also have a report that Trickster and FruitDealer have left TSL. If correct, this is 3 players in as many weeks.
Well, that's about going to wrap it up for today. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.

Socke eliminated Ret 2-1 and then Huk eliminated Predy 2-0 and will face Socke in the next round. Following that we had July take down Mana 2-1, and Sen take out Sase 2-0. Sen advances to meet up with July in the next round. Following that up we had Bomber take out HasuObs 2-0. Then we had the rematch of Idra and MC, one of the best rivalries in SC2 so far. Idra played strong, but MC played better taking him out 2-0. The final matches of the round of 16 consisted of White-Ra taking on Moon. This is one of the European favorites going up against the old WC3 veteran and in the end the Korean Moon takes the series 2-0.
The final match was BratOK taking on Naniwa and in the end Naniwa advances in a 2-0 victory to face Moon tomorrow, on Championship Monday at DreamHack. Catch those matches started early Monday morning at 1 AM PST.
We also had the final seed bracket for the NASL. With today's results, we know the entire bracket except for the Open Tourney winner which will be decided in the coming week. In today's play we had 4 players going head to head for a chance to face, well, to face the Emperor himself, SlayersBoxer live and in the flesh. The first match up was MC taking down Cruncher 2-0. The next match was Moman falling to Kiwikaki 2-1. The set up MC vs. Kiwikaki with MC taking the victory 2-0 so MC advances to the championships.
In other news, Quantic Gaming has announced their StarCraft 2 Division with a 7 man roster headed up by players such as Ahg and Baz, and DarkCell. Good luck to them in the future.
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.
So the dominating news is of course DreamHack, still going strong. Yesterday we had the final standings for the first 4 groups. Today we will cover the rest along with what bracket results we have so far.
First of all, in group play the top two of each group advance to the championship brackets. Here are the results for group E:

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, June 18th
Hello again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Saturday, June 18th.
Well, DreamHack, DreamHack, and more DreamHack content to go over. I covered a bit yesterday from the start. Here are the overall standings in group play so far, the top 2 from each qualify for the main championship bracket:
Group A:
Naniwa: 5-0, Ret: 3-2, Strelok: 3-2, Jimpo: 2-3, Tyler 1-4, and Moman 1-4.
GroupB:
Socke: 4-1, BratOK: 4-1, Dimaga: 3-2, Morrow: 2-3, NightEnd: 2-3, and DieStar at 0-5
Group C:
Sase: 4-1, Idra: 3-2, Grubby: 3-2, Merz: 2-3, Naama: 1-4, and Kas: 1-4.
Group D:
MC: 5-0, Sen: 4-1, Cloud: 3-2, AdelScott: 2-3, TT1: 1-4, and Naugrim: 0-5
DreamHack day 2 is still going on as I speak, so I am going to finish up with the reports on that until tomorrow.
In NASL playoff action the players were fighting for the championship bracket seed 14 to face Strelok. The first match was Sjow taking on DarkForce in a TvZ. This match was an epic back and forth slugfest, but in the end only one can make it out and today the winner was Darkforce after mining out Metalopolis. After that match we had MoleTrap getting his head shaved which transitioned into Naniwa taking on Axslav. Axslav played strong, but fell to the power of Naniwa. This set up a match between Naniwa and Darkforce for the bracket spot. The match only took 2 games, but it was 2 hard fought games as DarkForce took out Naniwa to advance.
Well, that's about all the news that I have for you tonight. Time to watch more DreamHack. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find the results right here 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.
