NewSCast for 28-Oct-11
Here we go again everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, October 28th.
Well, again not a ton of action or news for the day. We did have the Division 3 play in the NASL. The matches for today were HwangSin over Jinro 2-0. Next was a walkover given to Kiwikaki over SoftBall. The final match was Idra taking down Sjow 2-1. The division standings after 6 weeks of play are:
Idra 5-2, Morrow 4-1, Kiwikaki 4-1, Jinro 3-3, Socke 3-2, HwangSin 2-3, Sjow 1-4, and SoftBall 0-5.
We also had the Loser's Finals and Final matches in the MLG Global Invitational. The loser's finals was MVP over Bomber 4-3. This led to the finals between MVP and MMA with MVP taking the series 4-2. We will be seeing these players face one another at MLG Providence.
In other news, we have the announcement that Korean Zerg player Zenio has left team oGs and is looking for another team due to housing conflicts. He was a former Code S player, now dropped down into the Code A area. Let's see who picks him up.
Also we have the announcement that July and Bomber from the team StarTale will be coming to GamesX in Stockholm. Also Stephano, Clide, and Puma were announced to be heading over to DreamHack Winter also in Sweden. They join players like MC, White-Ra, Huk, and DRG at that event.
In other very exciting news, there was a huge article from Korea stating that many pro Brood War players and teams are starting to slowly practice for StarCraft 2 knowing that KeSPA is leaning towards adding it to the ProLeague. There are many anonymous quotes, no exact names attached, but players are confirming this as well. Slasher also tweeted that the last Bonjwa, Flash, is one of those players as he is recovering from surgery. Could this be that we are moving closer and closer to the end of Brood War as we know it? We will just have to wait and see.
Well, that's about all the news that we have for you tonight. Don't miss any ov the action, but if you do you can find it here the next morning at SC2NewSCast.com.

NewSCast for 21-Oct-11
Here we go with a huge day in SC2 News. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, October 21st.
We will start with the BlizzCon Invitational. In the Winner's ro16 we had NesTea over BratOK 2-1, Sheth over Loner 2-1, Sen over JazBaz 2-1, Naniwa over Major 2-1, TooDMing over Ret 2-0, MVP over Moonglade 2-0, Dimaga over Killer 2-1, and Select over Nifi 2-1. In the ro8 we had NesTea over Sheth 2-0, Naniwa over Sen 2-0, MVP over TooDMing 2-1, and Select over Dimaga 2-0. In the ro4 we had NesTea over Naniwa 2-1 and MVP over Select 2-1 setting up an MVP vs. NesTea epic matchup for the Winner's bracket finals to face the winner of the loser's bracket. The players still in the loser's bracket are Naniwa vs. Dimaga and Select vs. Sen.
Also at BlizzCon we had the GSL Code S finals tonight. The run down was, well, not what we were expecting. MMA took the first two games, then MVP took the third. This led right into MMA taking the last two games for a quick 4-1 victory to dethrone the champion. Congrats to MMA!
Also the big announcement today did come from EG and the rumors were true. EG and Slayers have teamed up with Idra and DeMuslim going over to fight in Code A next season. Also announced though was a partnership between Quantic Gaming and Incredible Miracles team featuring MVP and NesTea.
Now, onto the other set of big announcements today which were of course changes coming for Heart of the Swarm. I will not run down everything and nothing is set in stone, but here we go: Zerg has 2 new units, the Viper and the Swarm Host. The Viper can cast spells and physically lift units from one location to another while the Swarm host is similar to a Lurker.
Terran has a few new things in the Battle Hellion transform mode, the WarHound which is similar to a Goliath, and something called a Shedder which has a vague description so far, but also the Thor becomes a massive Hero unit similar to the Mothership.
Protoss have lost a couple things like the Mothership and the Carrier but gained a few units such as The Replicant which can morph into other units, Oracle which is a scouting spellcaster, and the Tempest which is a capital ship that does AOE damage against air.
There are a ton of other changes including burrowed charge attack for Ultralisk, Protoss Nexus can mass recall for energy, reapers heal themselves, hydra speed increase, and baneling burrow movement.
Well, I think I will cut it off there 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 28th
Here we go everyone. I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Thursday, July 28th.
We are going to start off with big news coming out of Team Liquid. If you have not heard, the recently released Sheth, formally of FXOpen has a new home with Team Liquid. It has been awhile since TL has announced a new member and the ubermannered Sheth with his skill and attitude is a perfect fit. Congrats to Sheth on the new team. Just for reference, here is the complete roster of Team Liquid:
Nazgul, TLO, Haypro, Tyler, Jinro, Ret, Huk, and now Sheth.
On to tourney play with the up and down matches in the GSL from early this morning. I will run through the single game results, then overall afterward: First we had aLive over Inca, Leenock over Keen, aLive over Banbanssu, Keen over Inca, aLive over Leenock, Keen over Banbanssu, Keen over aLive, and Inca over Leenock. This means that Keen and aLive will retain Code S, Inca, Leenock, and Banbanssu all Code A status.
We also had some loser's bracket play in the IPL season 2. Today we had Drewbie taking out Cloud 2-0. The next match was Tarson taking down NightEnd 2-1. The third match was Lalush taking down Axslav 2-1, and the final match of the night was Darkforce falling 2-1 to BratOK. All losers are eliminated from the tourney.
In other news, last night we announced the showmatch between SlayersBoxer and Yellow. More details have come forward and this will actually be a best of 3, not best of 5 which is what we originally thought. That match can be found over at gomtv.net on August 5th at 6AM PST. This is the show match event of the year, so be there.
Also, another announcement from FXOpen. They have signed a new player from South East Asia name proTimber, Julian Ho. Good luck to him and his new team.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, June 4th
Alright everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Saturday, June 4th.
Well well well. We had a full day of amazing matches over at MLG Columbus. First, in pool play, here are the placements:
Group A:
Naniwa: 4-1, Slush: 3-2, Moon: 3-2, Fenix: 3-2, Drewbie: 2-3, and Gretorp: 0-5
Group B:
MMA: 5-0, July: 4-1, Sheth: 3-2, Sjow: 2-3, Kiwikaki: 1-4, and Moonan: 0-5.
Group C:
Idra: 4-1, MC: 4-1, Ret: 3-2, Thorzain: 3-2, Tyler: 1-4, and Select at 0-5
and Group D:
Losira: 5-0, Haypro: 3-2, InControl: 2-3, Machine: 2-3, Major: 2-3, and TLO: 1-4.
Now I have to recommend checking out a few matches including Sjow vs. MMA, as well as July vs. MMA as Game 2 of that matchup was truly epic.
Now, for tomorrow in the Championship bracket we will have Naniwa facing off against Lorisa and Idra taking on MMA. Those will both be some exciting matches. As for the Championship Loser's bracket, we had the first 2 rounds played tonight and here are the results:
Cruncher went 2-1 against Agh, and then went 2-0 over Gretorp. Next was Vibe going 2-0 over Morrow and then taking out TLO 2-0. Then there was QXC go 2-1 over Axslav and then fall 2-1 to Select. The last matches in those rounds were KawaiiRice going 2-0 over Namchir and then going 2-1 over Moonan. To start off lower bracket play tomorrow we will have Cruncher taking on Kiwikaki, Tyler taking on Vibe, Select vs. InControl, and Drewbie vs. KawaiiRice.
Also tonight we had week 8, division 4 play over at the NASL. We had 2 more walkovers tonight. These are due to the fact that some players are giving up because of their chances this late in the tourney as well as due to MLG week. Here are the results:
Select gets the 2-0 walkover from BratOK, Ret continued his dominance as he went 2-0 over Catz, HasuObs took the series from Stalife 2-1, MC got the 2-0 walkover from Goody, and finally there was ACE taking the series 2-1 over Machine. Here are the standings in the division after 8 weeks:
Select: 7-1, Ret: 6-2, Ace: 6-2, HasuObs: 5-3, MC: 5-3, Stalife: 3-5, BratOK: 3-5, Goody: 2-6, Catz: 1-7, and Machine at 1-7.
Make sure to mark off everything for Sunday as it is both Championship Sunday at MLG as well as NASL Group of Death play. This is an exciting time if StarCraft fans.
That's all the news we have for you tonight. Don't miss any of the action, but if you do you can find it here the next day at SC2NewSCast.com.
