Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, November 30th.
Well, we are in that calm before the NASL Season 2 finals coming up this weekend. Before we get into that though, here are the results from the GSL over the weekend:
First, we had the GSL Code S semifinals matches. The first round was jjakji and Oz in an awesome back and forth series that ended with the Terran Jjakji taking it 3-2 and advancing to his first Code S finals. The other match also took all 5 games to decide as Leenock, your MLG Nation Champion looking unstoppable as he took down the terran master MVP 3-2 to advance to his first finals. This means that for the first time in a long time we are guaranteed a new Code S Champion this season.
Now, in Code A we had ro32 play with Losira over Alicia 2-1, Keen over YuGiHo 2-0, Fin over Polt 2-0, Brown over Ryung 2-0, Bomber over JYP 2-0, Parting over Clide 2-0, Lucky over Nada 2-0, Cezanne over Tassadar 2-0, July over Genius 2-0, asd over Hero 2-1, Curious over Monster 2-0, DRG over Luvsic 2-0, Boxer over Virus 2-0 with some very impressive reaper builds, Taeja over Inca 2-0, MarineKing over Zenio 2-0, and finally SuperNova over Squirtle 2-0.
Also in GSL news, the Code A caster Doa has resigned from GSL and taken a job as one of the in-house casters with IPL. Good luck to him and it is good to see him coming back to the states.
Now, with NASL finals coming this weekend, here are the championship brackets for Friday night's ro16:
Hero vs HwangSin, Huk vs. HasuObs, BratOK vs. Dimaga, TT1 vs Sen, Morrow vs. Mana, DeMuslim vs. Throzain, Idra vs. Strelok, and Sheth vs. Puma. Let's see who makes it to play on Saturday.
As we mentioned Morrow, it has been announced that he has been training quietly over in Korea recently. Not only that, but he has been given one of the Code A spots for GSL January, so let's see how the Infested Terran does over in Korea. Other player news from the weekend include the Korean Check signing with eSahara Esports, Clide has left TSL and joined Slayers, SangHo and JYP both leave TSL, and former BW pro Hyun has signed with TSL. We also have confirmation that QXC, the Bandana Terran, has been transferred from FXO to Complexity. This is another strong foreign pick up for Complexity in recent history.
Well, that's about all the news 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 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.
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.
