So, without any game manuals coming to us from Blizzard during the beta, where have I turned to find the info needed to play? I have really been blown away by the sheer amount of info that is to be found online.
I obviously started with watching HD and Husky, like so many else, and then moving on to Day[9]. But, I have also been able to track down some commentators and streamers that really puts some great knowledge out there for us Zerg players. They are few and far between though, so I would be grateful for any tips on some others if you know about any!
1. Psy This guy has a youtube channel where he mostly commentates on his own 1vs1 matches, but also injects some variety with tutorials as well as going through what the patch notes actually means in practice. He is a solid top Diamond level player, and has a really good sense of humor, with some much needed edge. A must see for any Zerg! URL: http://www.youtube.com/user/psystarcraft
2. Steven Bonnell II aka Destiny Come for the Zerg knowledge, stay for the nerd rage. Steven is another top diamond level Zerg, also with a great sense of humor, and actually some really intelligent views of life in general as well. Steven burrows those roaches fo sho. He has a livestream here on TL: URL: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/userstream.php?user=Steven.Bonnell.II
The last couple of days, I have found two other streams that looks very promising:
3. Decemvrie Decemvrie is the european representative in this blog post, and is really starting to make a name for himself on TL. He plays well, and has an excellent interaction with his audience. Eastern Europe sure has some good SC2 players! URL: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/userstream.php?user=decemvrie
4. Wr3k The last I want to mention this time is Wr3k, whom I watched for the first time tonight. Some inspired infestor play guarantees that I will definitely check out his livestream next time I see him online: URL: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/userstream.php?user=Wr3k

Thanks for this. I started off watching HD and Husky too, and then day9 back in the stone ages of brood war .
I feel like day9's Sc2 dailies don't have the same depth as his Sc1 dailies tho :/

Well duh, SC1 was largely figured out by the time Day9 did his dailies on them. In contrast, SC2 atm is totally new and the depth is not as figured out.

That's a fairly cliched thing to say, and I don't believe its true. I thing expansion placement, timings, and map analysis can still be analyzed just as well even if the game is new. If anything a new game should lead to more discussion about strats and possible builds / timings.
