StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, June 17th

Hello everyone, I am TheAmazombie and this is your StarCraft 2 NewSCast for Friday, June 17th.

Well, first we start off with the finals in the GSL Super tournament with the players SlayersMMA taking on Polt.Prime in a bo7.  Before that though we had the special finals for the Special LG 3D League between SC.Fou and MVP.DongRaeGu in a bo5.  The winner of that series was DonRaeGu 3-2.
Now, for the GSL Finals the maps were Bel'Shir Beach, Metalopolis, Crossfire, Dual Sight, Terminus, Xel'naga Caverns, and Crevasse. Unfortunately the match only lasted 4 games as the MMA, the Son of the Emperor has fallen to the dominating performance by Polt. 

In NASL playoff matches for today the players were fighting for the chance to play WEMade.Moon in the championships.  The first match was ST.Ace taking on BratOK in a PvT.  In some great positional games, Ace ends up taking the series over BratOK.  The second match up was supposed to have been HasuObs vs. Fenix but for some reason Fenix did not show up, giving HasuObs the walkover and eliminating Fenix from contention.  This set up a match between HasuObs and Ace in a PvP to take the 13th seed in the championship bracket.  The match went to an epic game 3, but in the end only one can move on and this time it is the underdog mouz.HasuObs.  Congratulations to him as he earned that win.

In team news it appears that team VPGamers has signed a couple of new players.  The first one is PainUser, formally of Lazarus Gaming, and the second is a bit of a surprise as it is popular caster HDStarCraft, who is a decently strong player himself.  VPGamers have not made much noise in the tourney scene, so with this signing it appears they are trying to get some more attention.  Good luck to HD and PainUser on their new team.

Announced today: the Alienware NA tourney.  The first place will receive $1000 as well as a competitor pass for MLG Anaheim.  The tourney rounds will take place the weekend of June 25th with the finals on July 6th and casted by MLG.  For more information, go to Alienwarearena.com.

Also today we had the start of DreamHack.  I will give you the scores that I have so far, but it is going on as I speak, so new stuff is happening right now.  The main stream was done by Day9.tv, which had it's official launch tonight.  Before the hostname just linked to his justin.tv page, but this is the launch of his official site.  Go over and check that out when you get a chance.  On to DreamHack results:
