EPT
Each friday I am going to write a small description for my "featured" non-featured streamer of that week and link everyone to their stream. I will tweet the link to their stream as well and hopefully I will help get them some attention that I believe they deserve!
Considering doing this for youtube channels as well but I know next to nothing in regard to those that work in this space. If people want to recommend me some channels by posting in this thread I will take a look and if I think they deserve special mention over a streamer for the week I will give them that recognition!
PS: I will try and do this each week but sometimes I may be out of town and inable to do this justice (phone won't do!) but for the most part I should be able to do this each week.
If you are a player, personality or whatever of note I encourage you to perhaps do the same! You can name it somthing different or just take my idea and make it your own.. but this community has a lot of people that spend a lot of time working to create content and get their name out there.. this could be a fun way to go about making that a more reliable space.

6/1/12: Fitzyhere [Stream] LINK
GM level zerg that uses queens as a main component of his game play. Interactive/fun personality who brings a bit of spunk to the game (wears army hat while playing). Streams often, always with webcam and constantly plays against big name opponents. Already a bit of a fan favorite for his unique play he is a player on the rise and worth checking out!
6/7/12: Avilo [Stream] LINK
As a terran player Avilo provides a stream that includes GM level play, commentary and a webcam to interact with his viewers. While he is famous for his antics usually involving balance whining he does provide excellent game play and gives explanations why he feels the way he does.. whether you agree or disagree the conjecture is beneficial to the viewers. Avilo also plays a style that is usually experimental in nature. Working with nukes, defensive/passive play and the rare Raven. Absolutely one of the most underrated terran streams, give him a look see and who knows? Maybe you are a fan!
NOTE: Todays was done a day early as I have MLG tomorrow!
6/22/12: ROOTPuck [Stream] LINK
Puck is a Protoss player of GM level skill who is currently on team ROOT. As a part of one of the top NA teams Puck will be traveling to events and making himself more known. His stream features a webcam and top level protoss play. One of the things I like about his stream is that he does a good job explaining what he did right/wrong after each game.. it's a bit light on the commentary but you won't come away from his stream without some great information that you can benefit from. As with Fitzy, it doesn't hurt that he is an uber manner guy both online and in person.
6/29/12: GoSutgun [Stream] LINK
tgun is an australian grand master level zerg who has traveled across the planet for MLG's, lived in korea and has competed in numerous online tourneys as well. Not only is he a seasoned tourney player he is a regular for the GoSu lineup. His stream offers a camera, decent commentary and top level zerg. I particularly recommend his ZvT which has been pretty highly touted as an extremely underrated matchup from this player. Def worth a watch!
7/21/12: 4NOT Xenocider [Stream] LINK
at only 14 years old this young terran is stirring the pot a bit with his GM level play and recent success in online tourneys. Defeating EG.HuK in one such tourney he has the level of play necessary to make a real big impact on this game in the near future. His stream is crisp and features (you guessed it) terran play. He does not listen to music and he does not do any commentary.. these are things I'd encourage of all streamers but what he lacks in entertainment he makes up in the novelty of his youth and the expertise of his skill. Terran streamers are fairly uncommon and this little guy is a bit of a hidden gem. check him out!
8/10/12: Quantic.Theognis [Stream] LINK
Theognis is a former bw player who has ALWAYS had a real talent for the game. Being a player first and pretty much just that he flies below a lot of people's radars because he doesn't get a lot of exposure and SC2 is very cut throat.. if you aren't a big stream, personality or a winner of tourneys you sometimes get forgotten. Theognis is an excellent terran that deserves some eyes on his stream. With a webcam and the professional overlay of team Quantic he is someone worth checking out.
9/25/12: Future [Stream] LINK
Richard "Future" Almand has been playing Starcraft since brood war where he was also a competitive player and he traveled to tourneys competing in WCG's and everything else he could get his hands on. Now he is a streamer who has a webcam, does commentary and has some high level play. Definitely a under-the-radar stream worth checking out.
