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 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 Wednesday, June 22nd
Here we go again everyone, I am TheAmazombie and it is time for your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Wednesday, June 22nd.
Well, as DreamHack finished this weekend, NASL regular season finishing this week, there is not a lot of major tournament action going on at the moment. We did have Week 7 play in the EGs Master's Cup this week. The results from the week were:
Sixjax over EG 3-1, Mouz over Millennium 3-1, Dignitas takes down MYM 3-1, and finally there was Complexity taking on Fnatic, and actually, I could not find the overall results anywhere. I saw a couple of games on the stream and Complexity was winning, 2-1, but I do not know the final results.
On Monday and Tuesday we had week 2 in the iCCup Korean weekly. The finals had TSL.Prime taking down Zenex.Puzzle 4-1. Tune in next week for more Korean action at iccup.tv.
We did have the first day of play in the NASL Open tournament which pits hundreds of players against one another for a chance to not only be in NASL Season 2, but also for a spot in the championship bracket next month. Out of notable players that have advanced so far, here are a few: Thorzain, Lalush, Hashe, Minigun and Major (have to play each other tomorrow), Inka, Dimaga, NightEnd, Agh, and DeMuslim. A few notable players that have been eliminated include LZGamer, Namchir, Sarens, PokeBunny, and Destiny. The replay packs are available currently as there are 2 rounds scheduled for tomorrow.
In GSL news, the Code A brackets have been released along with a statement that Fenix will be attending code A as well from the MLG. We all thought that Sheth had gotten that spot, but apparently there was some other deal for Sheth. What this means is that Sheth and Jinro are the only 2 foreigners going code A for July, but Thorzain, Naniwa, and Fenix will be code A come August I believe. Well, good luck to all of them in Code A as well as everyone playing in the Team League which starts up today over at GomTV.net.
Coming up tomorrow, we have the start of the HomeStory Cup 3. This is a small 3-day tourney that pits 35 of the world's best players in a LAN format for a piece of the 5000 Euro prize pool. This should be exciting as it features players like Jinro, Thorzain, Idra, Ret, MC, Huk, and Naniwa. Also starting tomorrow is the first 2 rounds of the GeForce SC2 Pro-AM. Make sure to keep your eyes open for that as it comes around. Another thing coming up this weekend is TL Open #17. HwangSin won #16 a few weeks ago, let's see who can take the win this time.
Also in MLG news, they have announced the "League Membership" packages. These packages include free HD streams with no-ads, discounts, early sales, and other MLG perks. The pre-sale starts next week at ten bucks for a 3-month membership or 30 bucks for a full year plus some extra perks. Check those out over at majorleaguegaming.com.
In team news, there was some issues from the Complexity/ROOT merger a few weeks ago and Destiny has parted ways with the team. He admits it was his fault that he could not live up to the contract demands. It is good to hear that they are parting ways without any legal issues. Good luck to both of the in the future.
Well, that's about 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 morning at SC2NewSCast.com.
