NewSCast for 13-Jan-11

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, January 13th.

Sorry about skipping the cast last night, but there was not much to speak of.  While there is still not a ton of news for today, there were a couple of significant moves to talk about.

First of all, the new brackets and tournament style for the upcoming GSTL season have been released.  The tournament style is set up some what differently from previous seasons.  There will be playoff rounds to determine double elimination brackets seeding.  Those seeds then will advance teams into finals playoffs and start seeds for the next season.

Another great bit of information to be announced because of this is that Quantic Gaming featuring players such as Naniwa and Sase have joined forces with StarTale full time in a player and league exchange program which will cover SC2 as well as other games.  Hopefully their partnership will last longer then the short-lived one between Quantic and IM.  Good luck to all the teams on the upcoming GSTL season which is set to start on January 27th.

In other rather big news, 2-time GSL champion MC has officially left his long-time team oGs and joined SK Gaming full time.  The two teams had a limited partnership with the players MC and Nada, but that partnership has dissolved.  MC signed with SK Gaming who may look to expand their SC2 roster in the process.

JP and State of the Game have dissolved their partnership with MLG citing the spirit of independent ESPORTS journalism.  This means that SOTG will return testing a new date and time slot.  The show will air on Thursdays at 4PM PST.  They say this is to attempt to cater to the European audiences as well, but that if it does not go as planned, they are willing to test various other dates and times as well.  The new season will start on January 19th over at twitch.tv/stateofthegame.

The last thing to talk about today is that ESV.tv has teamed up with ASUS ROG for their invitational tournament.  The winner of the ESV.tv Grand Prix will receive one of the 32 invite spots to the upcoming ASUS ROG Invitational in Finland during the last weekend in February.

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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, September 2nd

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, September 2nd.

Well, let's start with the action from Korea in the GSTL from early Friday morning.  The only match, in fact the last match before the playoffs was FXOKorea taking on StarTale.  In another 1-sided victory, we had Lucky over Bomber, but then Curious came in and ripped faces off of nerds as he took down Lucky, Inori, Choya, and asd to take the match for StarTale. 
With this match, the playoffs are set.  The first bracket is Prime vs. StarTale with the winner facing TSL.  The other bracket is IM vs. MVP with the winner advancing to face NSHoseo.

In other news, it appears that the player Grubby will be heading to train in Korea for a month and attempt to make it through the next Code A qualifiers.  Good luck to him and I hope Korea does good things for his play.

Also announced today, MLG is proud to be bring Bomber back for MLG Orlando to defend his title.  This is big, but also announced is that accompanying him will be the return of SlayersBoxer state side.  I know that personally I am rather excited to see Boxer back on the main stage again.

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.

StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, August 5th

Here we go again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, August 5th.

Well, let's start off with an overview of the much anticipated Boxer/Yellow show match from last night.  It was a fun event overall with interviews and more.  Yellow started off admitting that he had only played for a couple of weeks and was currently in the Gold League.  Boxer announced that this was for fun and he would play a round a lot.  There was a ton of conversation between the two old rivals.  Boxer took game 1 on XC, and yes, there were plenty of bunkers including Boxer attempting to created the legendary "Bunker Transporter" on the map.  Game 2 was on Shattered with Yellow taking that game with repeated Roach drops.  The final game was Boxer taking the series on Tal'Darim.  It was fun to watch and Yellow said that it meant a lot to him to be there with Boxer in a huge event with tons of fans in attendance.  I hope to see Yellow in the SC2 scene more in some capacity or another.  Congrats to eSports on this event.

In Europe, we also had the Championship brackets in Assembly Summer 2011.  I will give you a run down of each round:
Ro16:
Dimaga over TLO, BratOK over Sarens, Sjow over Bischu, elfi over Jimpo, Seiplo over Kas, Stephano over Sen, Mana over Nada, and Morrow over Welmu.
Ro8:
Dimaga over Elfi, Stephano over Seiplo, Mana over Sjow, and BratOK over Morrow.
Semis:
Dimaga over Stephano 3-2 and Mana over BratOK 3-1.
Bronze match was Stephano over BratOK 3-0.
In the finals we had Dimaga taking the tourney over Mana in an exciting 3-2 victory.  Congrats to Dimaga.

Also last night we had Venus action in the GSTL.  The teams were IM vs. StarTale and here is the rundown:
Bomber over MVP, then over Happy, then over Losira, and finally losing to Younghwa.  This brought out Curious to take the series for StarTale 4-1.

We also had IPL Season 2 action.  This was more Loser's Bracket play.  The matches today were Drewbie, who has been looking stronger as of late, over Tarson 2-0.  The next match up was Lalush taking down BratOK 2-0.  The third match up of the night was another 2-0 as Nerchio beat Vibe and the final match was 2-1 Ret over Fenix.  All losers are eliminated.

In other news it was announced today that the Russian player BratOK will be joining a new team.  His new home is going to be imba.FXO and he will now be team mates with another strong Terran, Strelok.  imba.FXO seems to keep getting stronger and stronger line ups.

Well, that's about all the news that we have for you today.  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 Friday, July 22nd

Welcome everyone to the StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, July 22nd.  I am TheAmazombie so let's get started.

Well, today was a little more relaxed day from the last few when it comes to news.  First we had the IPL with Day 6 Loser's Bracket play.  The first match was Nerchio taking down Kiwikaki 2-0.  Next we had State looking strong as he took down Merz 2-0.  The third match of the night was Ret tearing through Ranged 2-1 and the final match of the night was Cocoa taking down Steak 2-1.

Also early Friday morning we had the GSTL matches, FXOpen taking on IM and NSHoseo taking on StarTale.  I covered the amazing matches from FXOpen yesterday but in case you missed it, QXC all-killed IM.  I am not trolling, that is what happened.  The other match, Hosea vs. StarTale started with SuperStar falling to Tassadar, then we had Squirtle taking down Tassadar.  Next was Sculp who took out Squirtle and July, but then fell to Bomber.  Then Seal took out Bomber and NSHoseo takes the series 4-2.

In other news we have the announcement that Team Dignitas has signed the Korean player TanDongHo from Team ZeNEX.  Good luck to him and his new team.

Also, we have another announcement of a deal between the Korean team MVP and the NA team Complexity.  They will share resources in Korean and elsewhere while the players DongRaeGu and Genius will wear Complexity jerseys while outside of Korea and play under the tag of "coL.MVP."  This is similar to the SKGaming/oGs deal announced last week.

Also announced today, coming up on Sunday is another episode of TL Attack.  The player this week is none other than the Terran hero mouz.Thorzain.  Tune into teamliquid.net for those games.

Well, that's about all of 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 Friday, July 15th

Hello again everyone.  I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewS Cast for Friday, July 15th.

Well, we will start with the GSTL from early this morning.  I went over the results from the FXO match on yesterdays, but if you missed it FXOpen fell to Fou with QXC taking a game.  The other match of the night was Zenex taking on StarTale.  The first game was Byun over Sound, then he took the game off of Curious.  StarTale then took the next game with Ace, who then fell in game 4 to Line.  This brought out Bomber to take the next 3 games.  StarTale takes the series 4-3.

We also had day 2 of the IPL today.  The first match was Thorzain over Axslav 2-1.  Next we had Socke go 2-1 over Destiny.  The third match was Mana 2-0 over DarkForce, and the final match was DDE falling to Fenix 2-1.

In other news, we have another episode of TL attack this weekend.  The featured player this time is none other than the Lord of the Lings Fnatic.Sen.  Tune into teamliquid.net on Sunday for those games.

Also, in a big story it appears the the former BW player ForGG is apparently playing SC2 under the name Raptor.  This was outed by LiquidHuk on his stream.  This is by far one of the most top-rated SC1 players to come over to SC2 other than Nada and July who were not in top form for many years now.  This could be quite exciting.

In other player news, Kiwikaki, Jonathan Garneau, has been playing in the WSOP Main Event and his table was featured on ESPN2 today. He did last out the day, but his chip stack is getting a bit low.  He is in the money though at 30 grand I believe for sure.  Good luck to him on tomorrow!

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.
