Don't know where to put this so might as well as blog. As of posting time, they're streaming BW games for WCG Japan over Nico Nico Douga. You need an account to watch, it's been pretty damn lulz so far. I didn't even know Japan sent people for BW.

Example of the lulz:

Lol the commentators sound kind of clueless. One of the guys asked the other "So these terrans are humans... so between terran and zerg which one is stronger?" and "Would you consider these zerg as... sort of aliens?"

I should have made it clearer, but yeah I think you need an account on the site to watch it. Regarding the commentators, they're actually not bad. Keep in mind that BW isn't exactly huge in Japan so they can't go all-out-deep in their commentary or everyone will be lost imo.

If you don't have an account, you can google a guide on how to make one.
Click the guy with the lightning bolt on his head to login.
Then a link to the live stream will appear.

Oh nice they even have player cams.

Purple proxied with his first pylon into a 2gate, and green 2gated in response, but as you can see his pylon was burning and he eventually did lose the pylon that was powering all his stuff -_- And I'd like to note that this proxy in-base 2gate happened multiple times in the tournament.

And yeah this play is kinda terrible lol, but the top two get to go to LA to get destroyed by the kors. Mani should have went or something eh?

Edit:
Their commentators, looks like they are staging this out of some small office lol.

Aw, this could have been interesting to watch, especially with that pic you posted, for the laughs. Wonder if VODs will get posted? Knowing the Japanese, probably.
