Long story short, I'd really appreciate it if anyone fancied giving me some suggestions for entertaining Averatec games/series to check out, since having read Plexa and Ver's excellent threads about Iloveoov I'm looking to learn a bit about (and enjoy hopefully) Broodwar in general.

I got into SC2 via the competitive WoW scene over the summer (MLG cross-pollenation if you will), but I figured it's always nice to know a bit about the development of things and to understand the comparisons between the 2 games.

I've tried to track down a number of recommended matches for BW in general, but it can be a pain to find English casts at times (lots of older games being taken down from youtube on copyright etc).

Having realised Gom still have the Averatac seasons up on their site (which are naturally in good quality with an english cast) I thought that'd be a nice place to catch a few games, but if anyone wanted to suggest a few places to start tthat would be really appreciated (or to tell me to just steer clear xD)

Cheers!

(didn't think this was likely to warrant a new thread in the bw section, even if it's not an interesting blog)

Remember, most BW games are freely available on youtube.

If you want quality Starcraft, I'd start out with a modern TvZ sample (TvZ is my favorite matchup to watch, so I'm familiar with these especially):

Light vs Jaedong @ Fighting Spirit,
Battles everywhere, and some clutch timings and strategic moves.

Flash vs Jaedong @ Tau Cross
A fair amount of people think that this is the best TvZ of all time. The two reigning greats of Starcraft battle it out in a game that remains up in the air until the final minute. Hell, I wasn't sure who had GG'ed at the end. It was that close.

The culmination of standard TvZ. Defiler/ultra/ling vs MM/vessel/tank/dropship

ForGG vs Effort @ Fighting Spirit
A brilliant timing attack and a suspenseful endgame.

Free vs Hiya is also a favorite, though that is TvP.

As far as GOM matches, Baby vs Modesty is one I remember as pretty good.

Thanks, I shall check them out! I should probably have been clearer that the reason I was wanting Averatec was because I'm guaranteed the English cast on it. While I can get the gist of most of what transpires, it makes learning a lot easier when I'm having it spelled (or spoken) out for me ^^

(their archive is freely available, that or it's all available to me because of my gsl s4 sub but i find that doubtful)

Flash vs Jaedong @ Tau Cross is casted in English, though I find that the Korean commentary really gives you a sense of the intensity of the game.

English cast

There's sooo many good Averatec games I wouldn't even know what to recommend lol... Games that you HAVE to see... Boxer vs Baxter I believe was pretty good, Gotta watch Idra's games just because it's Idra... Season 3 I think it was where Iris (Berserker) won you should watch some of his games near the end semis/finals. Bisu/Savior/Jaedong/Flash gotta watch all of their games.
Wahaha

When I think about the Averatec/Gom BW tournaments, I always think of Tasteless' Monkey Milk LOL.

A good indicator of the games quality are the views on the video, lots of hits means good game, mostly ^^;
