NewSCast for 23-Nov-11 - No Cast

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, November 23rd.

Well, the main action over the weekend was in the GSL.  First we had the final day in Code A ro48.  The matches were Inca over Noblesse 2-1, SuperNova over Vines 2-0, Squirtle over Check 2-0, Monster over JookTo 2-0, Clide over Creator 2-0, Zenio over Mujuk 2-0, Alicia over FruitDealer 2-0, and Bomber over Rainbow 2-1.  The losers of this round are eliminated from the GSL.
Then we also had Code S ro8 with an epic matchup that had FXOz taking down SlayersMMA 3-2.  The other match was as one-sided as can be as jjakji took out Puzzle 3-0.

We also had some NASL action as there was "Tie-Break Tuesday" with players facing off for seeding.  We had DarkForce over NightEnd, then we had group play with Cloud, Cruncher, Jinro, and NightEnd in that order and the final group was HwangSin, Select, and TT1 in that order.
Then we had seeding for the Grand Finals as Morrow beat Sen, Idra over HasuObs on a forfeit, and Huk over Strelok.
Then we had some playoff matches as well for the NASL Finals.  The matches were Dimaga over Vibe 2-1, Select over Jinro 2-0, and finally Dimaga over Select 2-0.

In other news, we have the announcement that TT1, formally of Fnatic, has signed with the team mTw Mindfactory which bolsters their short roster of Dimaga, Naruto, Rine, and Underdark.  Also announced the is the signing on the player Yong, formally of ZeNEX to Vile Gaming to bolster their increasingly strong roster.

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.

NewSCast for 19-Oct-11

Here we go again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, October 19th.

Well, with MLG and IEM coming to close, we are back to the GSL with the Code S Up and Down matches over the past few nights.  On day 1 we had Gumiho and Puzzle taking Code S, Sage, Genius, and Zenio taking Code A spots.  On night 2 we had Oz and Yugiho taking Code S spots with Keen, JYP, and HongUn going Code A, and Day 3 is going on right as we record this.

In other news we have a few hidden gems here.  First though, the Blizzard/TL Ultimate BarCraft post-BlizzCon seems to have been cancelled due to organizational issues.  They have stated that they are refunding all prepaid costs.  That sounded like a cool event, so we are sad to see that go.  Next we have EG and their mystery announcement coming in a few days which appears to have been leaked in Korea.  We have work that Korea is reporting that EG players will be teaming up with Slayers and staying in the Slayers house.  That has not been confirmed as of yet though, so it is still just a rumor.
The other possible big news coming out of Korea is that with the reorganization of KeSPA as they are starting to look at adding SC2 to their ProLeague for the coming seasons.  We will have to see how that works out in the coming weeks and months.  More SC2 sounds good for everyone.

Also, the brackets have been announced for the BlizzCon global finals.  BratOK is facing NesTea in the first round, we also have Major vs. Naniwa and MVP vs. Moonglade just to name a few.  This is along side the GSL Code S finals that same weekend.  A lot of money up for grabs to let's all have fun with that.

Well, that's about all the news that we had 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.
