I have a friend who showed interest in bw VOD, so I made a compilation for him, thought it might interest some people.
It is entirely personnal, and tried to show a diverse image of what can make a great game of bw. There are a few doublons though, and some missing games that should be here (it lacks old games mainly, thinking of reach vs oov @mercury, Coca Cola OSL final game 4, game 4 of the yellow vs xellos finals etc), but I tried my best to chose pretty different games, but all good. Plus I did not find some games on youtube
The VOD I gave are almost all English commentaries (I say so when they are korean), if you're already into bw, well, you probably have seen most of those, and you can find them easily on youtube by typing the players name + map.
If you haven't seen any bw, or just a bit, come and enjoy. They are classified so that you can choose from you're taste, and I give a brief comment saying why I liked this game.
Enjoy :

early day9 commentary, hilarious

Nony is hilarious, two parts.

My favorite day9 daily, and it shows you don't have to be competitive to play bw, and that it's till a fun game

Cheers, many thanks to all the incredible people that make TL such a great website.

nice compilation, I wish I hadn't seen them all already so I could fully enjoy your blog lol !
Maybe you could add Boxer vs Midas @ 815 ? You rarely see 20 starports into 4 control groups of wraiths lol !
Also Boxer vs Joyo @ whatever-map-with-lava-tileset for the greatest comeback ever !

I don't know if your friend has enough knowledge to be able to see the evolution of the build orders and the trends, but if it's the case it would be very nice to order the VODs chronologically.

Good ideas, even though I'm not the hugest fan of Boxer vs Joyo (yeah I know, I'm bad^^
For the second stuff, clearly not, but the idea is pretty good.

I have to disagree, but the game is nice of course. I could have included it, as that's one crazy build !

Ruby vs Skyhigh @ Fighting Spirit

The game you are refering to is 5 years old and there is no VOD of it anywhere, so I doubt it was that spectacular.

And it is a Boxer game I have not seen so I think you might be wrong ^^

It is spectacular.Before saying I'm wrong, it's not because TLPD says there is no VOD available that you cant find it. It's happened during the Ro8 of the Pringles MSL (not sure about ro8, I think the format was complicated with a loser bracket...).

Anyway, if you're a good Boxer fan you should have watched it, it's a great bo3.

I uploaded it on youku
The quality is not that good, there was no HD stream back then, but it's still watchable. (validating at the moment, I'll edit with the link soon).

edit : http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjM2NTkwMDk2.html

edit2 : you should also add
Nal_Ra vs sAviOr @ Sin peaks of baekdu such an incredible game with base trade
Reach vs Kindgom @815 III carrier vs darkarchon mind control !
