WCSThen I realized that would take way too long, so here's a bunch of English commentaries from when I started watching BW. I only picked games I definitely remember watching.
Leta vs Lomo on Shades of Twilight, proleague OZ vs hite which Cholera had decided to cast because it was important for the playoff race or something, I don't know. The only reason I remember this is because both terran names started with L, most of the early games I watched were a blur and I didn't know who either player was at the time, it wasn't even a great game.
Backho vs Yarnc from the same series. This was my first introduction to the Jaedong/Lomo/Backho love triangle, which was nearly confirmed by this interview.

Idra vs Yayba from an SC2GG tournament. (the one that "useful skill toi have" came from, though that was an earlier series with Draco) My first introduction to how fucking solid Idra is, as well as how entertaining future WCG semifinalist Yayba is.
The epic Flash vs firebathero game. I didn't get why people complained about TvT until I started watching proleague regularly, because good TvTs are so awesome to watch. And if you're not watching a lot of games, the length isn't a problem.
Piano vs Canata from the Avalon MSL. Don't even bother asking why I remember this, I have no idea.
Bisu vs fantasy, also from Avalon MSL. fantasy made like no units and one commentator suggested that Bisu was throwing OSL to fantasy while fantasy was throwing MSL to Bisu.
Boxer vs Reach from e-stars. When I started watching BW I was surprised at the amount of respect old players get, with most sports you tend to get people thinking old players should retire already (Brett Favre anyone?) and looking for the next big thing.
Calm vs great from the 2009 playoffs. Nothing special about this except an underwhelming ending to the first Bo7 I ever watched.
A GIRL WON A GAME? AGAINST THAT GUY CHOLERA WORSHIPS AS A GOD?
Boxer vs Yellow on Nostalgia. Besides a few LAN games I had only played the SC campaign, where you used almost every unit. So I was wondering why these pros used only 3-4 units every game. Then Boxer nuked Yellow.
Savior vs Nada on Neo Medusa. I guess I just thought mech play was nice, and that Savior's face looked kind of weird. Didn't really know who they were yet.
Jaedong vs Canata on Carthage. My first intro to the role of scouting in BW, he kept an expo hidden forever.
Hyuk beating Jaedong. Apparently this was a huge upset or something?
Bisu vs Iris game 5. Iris' comeback was almost as insane as Klazart's wpm. Best game I had watched up to that point by far.
Fantasy vs Jaedong from PL, one of the first VODs I watched in Korean. Also a precursor to Flash's mass tank build against Calm in the EVER OSL.
Jaedong 4-pooling fantasy as revenge for the proleague finals. I really got a sense for Bo5s and rivalries after this.
I stayed up almost all night to watch the PL finals and it was the first time I watched BW live. Everyone was hyping a Bisu vs Jaedong finals and instead we got this cheesefest. I was not disappointed.
So apparently BeSt was some sort of monster and Lomo was a bit of a joke. That just made Lomo's comeback all the more impressive though.
Calm vs Kwanro from MSL finals. The first game was epic (and showed that Kwanro was completely outclassed) but the rest of the games were meh.
So yeah, I could go through games from late 2009 and all of 2010 but that would take forever since my memory's improved since then, and also this is a good way to introduce people to some good English commentary, Cholera especially was very good in the months before he quit.
Thanks to all the English casters, everyone who streams, every LR thread OP and poster, and all of TL for making me love this so much.
PS: You all hated SuperArc but he was right about Snow.
