NewSCast for 14-Jan-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, January 14th.
Again, not a ton of action or news today, but a few things of note: The NASTL, North American Star Team League is prepping for the upcoming NASL Season. So far the invited teams for that are Empire, EG, Mouz, and Liquid. They recently held their first qualifiers where FXO and Reign have won spots. The second qualifier is going on this weekend, so we will know the final two spots very soon.
In other news, the zerg hero Liquid'Haypro has landed at the oGs house in Korea for extended practice and stay. During the interview on teamliquid.net Haypro has stated that he has been wanting to go back for awhile and plans on being there at least 6 months for training. This means that Jinro, Haypro, Zenio, and Hero are all there and TL has been hinting that there may be more announcements in this vein incoming. The word on the street is that TLO has been interesting in heading back. Currently 4 of the 8 players of TL are in Korea training.
TSL, The SCV Life, has announced a new player in Cyrano, a protoss that has not really been seen since GSL Open 3. TSL has been struggling since losing a bunch of players to other teams as of late.
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.

NewSCast for 13-Jan-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, January 13th.
Sorry about skipping the cast last night, but there was not much to speak of. While there is still not a ton of news for today, there were a couple of significant moves to talk about.
First of all, the new brackets and tournament style for the upcoming GSTL season have been released. The tournament style is set up some what differently from previous seasons. There will be playoff rounds to determine double elimination brackets seeding. Those seeds then will advance teams into finals playoffs and start seeds for the next season.
Another great bit of information to be announced because of this is that Quantic Gaming featuring players such as Naniwa and Sase have joined forces with StarTale full time in a player and league exchange program which will cover SC2 as well as other games. Hopefully their partnership will last longer then the short-lived one between Quantic and IM. Good luck to all the teams on the upcoming GSTL season which is set to start on January 27th.
In other rather big news, 2-time GSL champion MC has officially left his long-time team oGs and joined SK Gaming full time. The two teams had a limited partnership with the players MC and Nada, but that partnership has dissolved. MC signed with SK Gaming who may look to expand their SC2 roster in the process.
JP and State of the Game have dissolved their partnership with MLG citing the spirit of independent ESPORTS journalism. This means that SOTG will return testing a new date and time slot. The show will air on Thursdays at 4PM PST. They say this is to attempt to cater to the European audiences as well, but that if it does not go as planned, they are willing to test various other dates and times as well. The new season will start on January 19th over at twitch.tv/stateofthegame.
The last thing to talk about today is that ESV.tv has teamed up with ASUS ROG for their invitational tournament. The winner of the ESV.tv Grand Prix will receive one of the 32 invite spots to the upcoming ASUS ROG Invitational in Finland during the last weekend in February.
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 Thursday, August 25th
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.
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 an find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.

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.
