Cast of the Week - Nada on Metalopolis

Well, here we go everyone with your StarCraft 2 Cast of the Week starring one of the Korean fan favorites, oGs.Nada facing some Protoss that I am not sure who it is. If you know, please post in the comments below.


...well, I did due a cast but somehow in the upload to youtube something happened to the video encoding.  It was perfect when I uploaded it, but it ended up scrambled and mixed.  I will try to reupload it soon.  Sorry for that!
(I will try to do an extra cast or something to make up for it...it was a boring game anyway!  Haha!)

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday. June 19th

Hello again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Sunday, June 19th.

So the dominating news is of course DreamHack, still going strong.  Yesterday we had the final standings for the first 4 groups.  Today we will cover the rest along with what bracket results we have so far.

First of all, in group play the top two of each group advance to the championship brackets.  Here are the results for group E:
Huk tears through the division going 5-0, Moon: 4-1, Tarson: 2-3, LaLush: 2-3, Fury: 1-4, and Bischu: 1-4
Group F:
July: 5-0, HasuObs: 4-1, Thorzain: 3-2, Sjow: 2-3, Machine: 1-4, and Sushi: 0-5.  I highly recommend the July/Thorzain series.  All three amazing games.
In group G:
White-Ra: 5-0, Predy: 3-2, Goody: 3-2, Osho: 2-3, Jinro: 1-4, and Elfi: 1-4.
Finally, group H:
Bomber: 5-0, Mana: 3-2, Haypro: 2-3, Happy: 2-3, XLord: 2-3, and Sarens: 1-4.

These results have set up the top 16 players for the championship brackets.  Here are the results from those matchups so far:
Socke eliminated Ret 2-1 and then Huk eliminated Predy 2-0 and will face Socke in the next round.  Following that we had July take down Mana 2-1, and Sen take out Sase 2-0.  Sen advances to meet up with July in the next round. Following that up we had Bomber take out HasuObs 2-0.  Then we had the rematch of Idra and MC, one of the best rivalries in SC2 so far.  Idra played strong, but MC played better taking him out 2-0.  The final matches of the round of 16 consisted of White-Ra taking on Moon.  This is one of the European favorites going up against the old WC3 veteran and in the end the Korean Moon takes the series 2-0.
The final match was BratOK taking on Naniwa and in the end Naniwa advances in a 2-0 victory to face Moon tomorrow, on Championship Monday at DreamHack.  Catch those matches started early Monday morning at 1 AM PST.

We also had the final seed bracket for the NASL.  With today's results, we know the entire bracket except for the Open Tourney winner which will be decided in the coming week.  In today's play we had 4 players going head to head for a chance to face, well, to face the Emperor himself, SlayersBoxer live and in the flesh.  The first match up was MC taking down Cruncher 2-0.  The next match was Moman falling to Kiwikaki 2-1.  The set up MC vs. Kiwikaki with MC taking the victory 2-0 so MC advances to the championships.

In other news, Quantic Gaming has announced their StarCraft 2 Division with a 7 man roster headed up by players such as Ahg and Baz, and DarkCell.  Good luck to them in the future.

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 Saturday, May 7th

Here we go everyone with the SC2 NewSCast covering Saturday, May 7th:

Today there were a couple of large events to cover starting with the the TSL3, round of 4 day 1 between Empire.Kas and the newest Mousesports team member Thorzain (TvT).  The Liquibet had almost a 50-50 split between these two outstanding Terran players for this best-of-7 match.  Unfortunately the match only lasted 5 games as Mouz.Thorzain took down Empire.Kas with Kas only winning in game 3.  The maps played in this match were Shakuras Plateau, Crossfire, Metalopolis, Terminus, and Crevasse.  Thorzain moves forward to the TSL3 Grand Finals against either dignitas.Naniwa or Mouz.Hasuobs who will play tomorrow.

Also today was the Grand Finals for Season 4 of the Collegiate Star League casted by none other than Mr. Sean "Day[9]" Plott.  The final teams were Waterloo University vs. the University of British Columbia with UBC taking the series in overwhelming fashion, so congratulations for them!

As for the North American Star League, we had Division 4 play tonight.  The maps for tonight were Terminus, Crossfire, and Backwater Gulch.  The first match of the night was Liquid'Ret facing off against Complexity.Stalife (ZvT) with Ret taking the series 2-1.  Check out game 2 as Ret appeared to be facing Liquid'TLO for the loss.

The second match of the evening was dignitas.Select vs. ESC.Goody (TvT).  The German Tank hero falls to the agro-terran Select 2-1 in a series that showed three different types of games and style of Terran play.

Next we had mouz.Hasuobs taking out ROOT.Catz (PvZ) 2-1 with Catz living up to his reputation of strong mechanics and unpredictability.

Then we had the first of the Koreans in this division facing off with Startale.Ace going up against the Russian RoXBrat_OK (PvT) and you have to check out that amazing series with Brat_OK taking down the Korean with a mix of mobility and base-trades.

Finally we ended up at the match-up of EG.Machine against oGs.MC (ZvP).  The former GSL champion MC ended up embarrassing Machine with a quick and easy 2-0 victory to take his first win in the NASL and wrap up the night.

Here are the current standings for NASL Division 4 after tonight:
Select, off to a commanding start at 4-0
ACE: 3-1
Ret: 3-1
Hasuobs: 3-1
Brat_OK: 3-1
Catz down 1-3
MC: 1-3
Machine: 1-3
Stalife: 1-3
and Goody bringing up the rear at 0-4.

Alright, on tap for tomorrow we have as already mentioned the second semifinals match of the TSL3 between Naniwa and Hasuobs at 11 AM PST casted by Sean Plott and Husky.  Also at 11 we have DjWheat with Chill on Weapon of Choice.  You can find that at onemoregame.tv.  Later in the evening we have the NASL "Group of Death" Division 5 playing.  Pregame starts at 5:30, matches at 6:00 PM PST at NASL.tv.

Don't miss any of the action, but if you do, we will have the updates for you the next morning here at SC2 NewSCast.  Thank you and please don't drone too long or you will miss out!

NewSCast for Friday, May 6th

Here we go everyone with the SC2 NewSCast covering Friday, May 6th:

In the GSL Code S Semifinals we had oGs.Nada vs. oGs.InCa (TvP) facing off in a best-of-5 match with InCa winning 3-0 on the maps Xel'naga Caverns, Tal'darim Alter LE, and Crevasse to take the series and move onto the GSL Code S Finals.  We highly recommend checking out the VOD for Game 3 of that match!

In the other GSL match of the evening we had IM.NesTea vs. SC.fou (ZvT) in their best-of-5 series.  SC took games 1 and 4, but that was not enough as NesTea took game 2, 3, and the final game 5.  The maps for that match up were Metalopolis, Xel'naga Fortress, Tal'darim Alter LE, Terminus SE, and Crossfire SE.  Check out that entire series if you get the chance.

And on the other side of the Pacific for tonight we had the NASL with Division 3 play.  The Maps for the night were Shattered Temple, Terminus RE, and Crossfire SE.  First match of the night was EGs Axslav vs. Mouz Strelok (PvT) in a best-of-3 with Axslav going down 2-1 and Strelok only dropping game 1 of the set.

Next we had Sixjax DDE facing off against FXO.Moonglade (TvZ) with Moonglade taking the first 2 games to win the series.

After that was Startale's Squirtle vs. Fnatic.KawaiiRaice (PvT) with Squirtle taking both games in convincing fashion.

As Team Liquid's Haypro vs. oGs.Nada's match was rescheduled due to the GSL, the final match of the night was ROOT Gaming's Slush vs. dignitas.Naniwa (ZvP) which Naniwa took 2-0.  Game 2 ended with a failed, non-scouted 7-pool which Naniwa held off with some brilliant and calculating decisions.  He showed everyone again why he is one of the best Protoss players outside of Korea.

Here is a quick update on how Division 3 is shaping up after 4 weeks.
Strelok: 4-0
Naniwa: 3-1
Squirtle: 3-1
Slush: 3-1
Nada: 2-1
Axslav: 1-3
DDE: 1-3
KawaiiRice: 1-3
MoonGlade: 1-3
Haypro: 0-3

Coming up tomorrow we have NASL Division 4 at 6 PM PST, of course hosted by InControl and Gretorp.  We also will have TSL3 Semifinals with Empire.Kas facing off against Thorzain in a bo7.  That match starts at 11 AM PST and will be casted by Chill and DJWheat, so don't miss those.

Of course if you do, we will have the updates for you the nest morning here at SC2 NewSCast.  Thank you and please don't drone too long or you will miss out!

SC2 Newscast Beta Launch!

Alright everyone, as a fan of SC2 I have been trying to find a way to give something back to the eSports community and I think I have found it.  This is a project that I am starting called SC2 Newscast which is currently in blog format but I am planning on expanding to a podcast.

The idea here is a simple, a quick daily post along with a 2-3 minute daily podcast that just recaps the day in the SC2 eSports community.  I will not have to say that there will be spoilers, but the idea is a simple overview, like the hourly updates on sports stations, just giving the players, leagues, and results with a few other funsies as well.

If this is an idea that interested people, and I hope that it will, then we will expand.  If you are interested in assisting or talking with me about some sponsorship, please contact me via this blog.  Thanks!
