Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, December 5th.
Well, the main news for today was over at the finals of the NASL. First we had the 3rd place match between Sen and Thorzain. In a back and forth series, Sen took the 3rd place crown with a win over Thorzain 4-2. This set up the finals rematch between Liquid'Hero and EG.Puma. While these two met in the finals of DreamHack just a week ago with Hero coming out on top, this time it was not to be as reigning NASL champion Puma showed why he is one of the best Terrans in the world as he took down Hero 4-2.
The only other real news of the night is that the GSL Code A ro24 day 1 has just finished. The results were Parting over SangHo 2-1, Happy over Cezanne 2-0, MC over Bomber 2-0, and Brown over Losira 2-0. Be sure to tune in to GSL tonight as the matches are going to be asd vs. NesTea, July vs. Fin, Lucky vs. Ganzi, and DRG vs. Taeja.
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 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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, August 21st
Welcome everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, August 21st.
Well, not a ton of action today overall, but we did have the finals in the IEM GamesCon Cologne. This was a bo5 series rematch between oGs.MC and EG.Puma. Last time these two met Puma took the series and $50,000 in the NASL finals 4-3. Many people predicted that MC would get his revenge this time, but that did not happen as Puma just slaughtered MC 3-0. There were moments where MC was ahead, but every time Puma showed why he is probably the best decision-maker in the game.
In other news, it has finally been officially announced that the Korean BW/SC2/WC3 team WeMadeFOX is disbanding. This has been rumored for some time but they are saying now that as of August 31st they will not longer exist. We will see what happens to the players in the near future.
Also coming up we have the GSL Code A semifinals early Monday morning at Gomtv.net. The matches are Ganzi taking on Taeja as well as Leenock vs. MarineKing to see who will move on for a chance at Code S status.
Well, that's about all the news that we have for you tonight. We are taking our weekend now, but tune in Tuesday for the Weekly Edit this week where I will be previewing MLG Raleigh as well as talking about some projects coming down the pipe. 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 20th
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Saturday, August 20th.
Well, some good action coming down the pipe today. First we will start with the semifinals matchups over at IEM GamesCon in Germany. The first match was MC vs. Mana PvP. Mana, who has been very strong in the last few weeks ended up being owned by the legendary PvP of MC 3-0. In the other match, we had Puma, the strong Terran that we have not seen much of since his win over MC at NASL, taking on Socke in a TvP. Puma, known as one of the strongest Terrans in the world showed why as he handled Socke 3-0. This sets up a finals that is a rematch of those NASL finals between Puma and MC. Last time Puma took the series 4-3, so let's see tomorrow who wants this win more.
Also today we had TL TeamSpeak Open #21. The finals this week were TSL.Heart taking on EG.Idra and in the end Idra fell 3-2. 3rd and fourth place went to two kind of surprising players in FXOtgun and Desrow. Congrats to all of the players.
In other news, the gaming team WinFakt, a very strong Call of Duty and Counter Strike gaming team, has announced their first signing of a StarCraft 2 player. That player is Fuzer and it marks another gaming team transitioning into having an SC2 roster. Congrats and good luck to them.
Well, that's about all the news that we have for you today. Please, feel free to add us on twitter, on facebook, and all those other mediums. There are links on the side of the page. 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, July 21st
Welcome everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, July 21st.
First of all, the huge news out of Korea today - the GSTL which is going on right now as I am recording this - just had an amazing moment. The first match was FXOpen taking on IM. Here are the results:
QXC over Horror on Bel'Shir Beach
QXC over BBi on Xel'naga Caverns
QXC over dreamtt on Metalopolis
and then...
QXC over MVP on Tal'darim Alter to take the first foreign all-kill in Korea for SC2 as well as the first win for FXO in the GSTL. Congrats to QXC and his team and this was a huge moment for them, the community, and StarCraft 2 History.
Well, we have some more news coming out of the Puma/EG/TSL news that broke last night. Today Coach Lee spoke more to explain his stance and Alex from EG also stated their point. According to Alex, Puma has not actually been signed by EG as of yet. It sounds more and more like a lot is being made out of some cultural difference and misunderstanding. Check out tonight's episode of Weapon of Choice for more information.
Well, we had Week 5 play in the GSTL. The match from Thursday morning was oGs/TL taking on Prime. In game 1 MC took out Hannibal. Game 2 was MC falling to BBoongBBoong, who continued to take out TOP in game 3. For game 4 Nada took him out. Game 5 was Check taking out Nada. For game 6 oGs fielded the Canadian hero Huk who took out Check and then took out MarineKing in the final match. oGs wins the series 4-3.
We also had day 5 play in IPL season 2. Today's matches were the first round in the Loser's Bracket. The first match was DieStar falling to Drewbie 2-1. Next we had Tarson taking out Fury 2-0. The following match was Destiny falling to Axslav 2-1, and the final match of the night was DarkForce dominating DDE 2-0.
After 3 weeks of play in the AHGL here are the current standings: Microsoft on top with 7 points. Amazon following that up also undefeated in matches but with only 6 points. Google in third at 2-1, 2 points. Facebook coming in fourth at 1-2, -1 points. Next is Zynga with the same score. Dropbox and Twitter are both at 1-2, -2 points, and coming in last is Yelp with -8 points at 0-3.
With MLG Anaheim coming up just around the corner we have the full player list released today. Some of the top players that are going to be in the open bracket for this event are:
Tyler, QXC, Vibe, Major, Fenix, Destiny, DeMuslim, Jinro, Merz, Sonkie, White-Ra, HD, and KawaiiRice.
This is looking to be rather exciting. Go to majorleaguegaming.com for the complete list.
In other news, FXO has announced that they have parted ways with the strong Zerg player Sheth. They left on mutual terms and I hope for the best for both the team and for Sheth.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, July 20th
Welcome everyone to your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Wednesday, July 20th. I am TheAmazombie so let's get started.
In huge news to start the cast coming out of Korea, the NASL winner Puma has left TSL. Not only did he leave TSL, but we have confirmation that he left TSL to join none other than the foreign team Evil Geniuses. Puma is an extremely high-level terran player and if you have not watched them, check out the finals from the NASL between Puma and MC. There has been a bit of controversy surrounding this as it appears the EG did not talk with TSL management or coaches at all, but went directly to Puma with offers. There has been some flack from that, but as of right now they has not done anything illegal, so all is fair.
There was not a ton of stuff going on at the moment, but we did have the finals for the first set of iCCup Korean Weeklies. The finalists were NsHS.Jjajki who took the final series from IM.YongHwa 4-1. 3rd place was ST.Curious with fourth being NsHS.Sage.
In other news, I covered this some on yesterday's Weekly Edit, but in case you missed it, the Korean team Fou was acquired by FXOpen. They are not two teams, they are one team with two management divisions. They have also announced that they are looking to expand the roster and add some new players. A lot of news coming from FXO these days.
In other news, we have the announcement from MLG that there will still be 2 streams for the Anaheim event. Tastosis will not be able to make it this time though. One stream will be the normal Day9/DJWheat combo. The second stream will be casted by none other than HuskyStarCraft and Mr.Bitter. Congrats to them and I hope it all goes well this time.
Also, this weekend we will have another TL Teamspeak Open. This time it is #20. Tune in to TeamLiquid on Saturday for those matches.
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 Sunday, June 26th
Here we go everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Sunday, June 26th.
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.
