I'm usually a big fan of husky who has been putting quality shoutcasts on youtube, unfortunately has sold out and every video has a massively boring advertisement before the video : /

ah yeah.

Him and HD sold out asap. I don't think they're that good as commentators. Half the time what they're saying is wrong.

Day9 ftw!

you don't know day9? :eek:

Probably one of the best shoutcasters. His shoutcasts are here. He really analyse the games and has huge starcraft 2 knowledge.

I like episode 100 where he talks about him and his brother growing up with starcraft. His brother Nick 'Tasteless' Plott is a shoutcaster for korean channel GOMTV.

TheDoc

Cheers will have a nosey, something new to watch

Kirby

Have to say, I'm not a fan of that guy.

He knows his stuff. Find it hard to listen to him for longer than five minutes though. His voice and mannerisms are quite....."american" for lack of a better word. He could tell you something simple like 2+2=4 and he would say it like he was telling you a secret or it was extremely profound.

Dunno, don't like him. Crota is much better.

Mwahaha, I ain't out of the platinum league yet!
Me as T against a slightly favoured P on Desert Oasis, I thought he had me a few times but he threw away an army against my planetary fortress being repaired by loads of SCVs at one point!
My hotkey hand was shaking for a while during this match, crazy adrenaline.

TheDoc,

When you were playing WC3 do you remember Angry Korean Man from the scene?

Its probably cheeky of me to say, but I'm surprised that demo is from plat, I'm silver btw.

I don't understand why you didnt push back immediately after he failed, you could have taken that game in the first 15 minutes. You also build a lot of structures and then dont use them, along with only upgrading once at the end bay?

Replay of a Diamond 2v2 RT I played just there. We just barely survive the start but when we do they're just so far behind.

Ya cheeky pup!
Ah no, I'll never admit to being platinum level player, I did ok in my placement matches (won 4/5, a few were lucky) and ended up in platinum!
But I think I did well for a non-BW player and that was my 10th ever RTS 1v1 game (not including the practice matches which were easy)

Ya, I got a little macro, and not much micro, but I countered and harassed the best I could that match, sniping a few Nexus.
He also didn't use his mass void rays on my main when he could have I noticed.

Think I've been watching about 2 hours a day of casts since Feb.

Give Day9 some time, get past his Americanisms, he is one of the most knowledgeable, genuine and honest casters out there. His brother is amazingly good too. Of course its all down to personal preference, but to their credit, most of the community and other casters look up to them.

I like Crota a lot as well, keeps it simple.

Hunter starcraft is also very good, a lot of Korean games.

If you want to watch pov of a terran player - try Gretorp, cool guy, pretty damn high APM, so can be hard to follow

Personally I don't like BigT - too arrogant, judgemental and I can't stand 'thegunrun'

Epic. Some very clever and devious play from both players, especially near the end.

RoyalMarine

couldnt believe the extractor at the end. amazing game very funny

Columc

Ya, when I saw him sniping both buildings, and when they both finnaly got destroyed and he survived i was kinda cheering, just to see an extractor.

NeoSlicerZ

This is the greatest recheese I've ever seen.

The stream for the IEM is here. Good show but the battle net online experience is causing problems at the moment...

Idra playing Sarens at the moment.

Gummy Panda

The plays are suppose to be uploaded by they won't play from ESL site. Anyone know a site that mirrored them?

Burgo

vods from esl http://tv.esl.eu/de/vod/ and vods from glhftv http://glhf.blip.tv/posts?view=archive&nsfw=dc

Gummy Panda

Idra looks very pale and sickly. Guy is living in south Korea over a year. You think he'd get bit of a colour.

Very good games between him and sarens. Both showed great micro though I enjoyed sarens play style more.

seraphimvc

and Idra once again showed his scary Macro skill

and seriously when think of what he did to fend off the terran's harrassment, man, man, man, if everyone can play like him then nobody is gonna say Terran is OP now :pac:

have to praise that Sarens is one hell of a terran player!!

He plays starcraft 12 hours a day. Every day. Not a lot of time for sunbathing in a professional korean team :P

The Mad Hatter

Dude, he is more pasty then me, and I'm irish and hate the sun.

He looked kinda sick to be honest. He is suppose to do a fitness routine in mornings if its like what other teams have reported.

EDIT: Where is the Idra vs Tarson VOD? I heard there was some awesome playing by Idra

Good games, but the german presenter is painful to listen to.
