Then whenever a player of your team wins a game, go in LR and spam show your support by typing something along the lines of BEEEEEEEEEEEEESUIT!1!1!1!, which you will find plenty of fans of that team already doing!
I think I'm going to stick 8 pieces of paper with team names on it to a dartboard, close my eyes, and then just pick whichever one I land on for this season. dont get stx or you're fucked. oh: just a warning. dont pick out of the ones on your profile- oz, mbc, and fox have disbanded - instead their top players are going to Team 8, a new team. Thanks for the warning, that's why I said 8, not 10 :D

Just root for a specific player and like all other games, when the player you are rooting gets defeated or wins, you will eventually what others would feel.

I pretty much only watch games of my favorite players, which pretty much consists of Neo.G Soulkey and Bisu.

just bisu.
anyway, one thing that totally upped my enjoyment was watching it on stream with stream chat open. it beats korean commentary that i don't understand. also you learn a lot about the game. i don't even talk in the chat, i just like reading.

you are always welcome to team 8th :D
do it with 7 team,STX is :D

No no no no no! Just choose CJ ENTUS!!! We're going to win PL this season, the team has an awesome and talented roster with the likes of EffOrt and Hydra as our top Zergs, Movie, Horang2 and Snow as top Protoss and Leta as a top terran. So many top and awesome players, how can you pick any other team?
Just make the right decision, get a CJ icon next to your sig and join our ranks as an entusman!

This is a very accurate account of how I got into BW two years ago, except I started with Flash/KT. Seriously once you have a favourite team/player it makes following BW much more enjoyable. I hope theres a Fantasy PL this season as well since that gives an extra reason to follow your team.

As someone else that started watching BW after SC2, my advice is to watch the matches while reading the live report threads! The biggest obstacle to watching BW at first is the lack of English commentary so be sure to read the "intra-community" commentary that a live report provides. People are generally very friendly and will answer any kinds of questions (from strategy to player info) if you just ask!
Also check out liquipedia and get a feel for what part the units play in the various matchups. Not all the strategies are up to date on liquipedia, but at least you'll get an idea of why certain units are used (ex. mutas and lings in ZvZ, medic marine in TvZ, mech play in TvP, etc.) Try playing some BW as well, even if it's just to get an understanding of how things control. Over time you'll get used to the strategy and trends and you won't even feel the need for English commentary.

I highly recommend you check out Final Edits as well as players pages on liquipedia.Bisu Stork Jaedong Flash. All sorts of cool stuff, trivia, play style, rivalries... I remember when i first started reading tlpd i just kept on opening tab after tab after tab =P.

don't pick randomly, don't pick because somebody tells you to. watch for 2 weeks without any preconceived notions going in, and you'll find yourself drawn to a team.

Haha, yeah. I started out as a Bisu fan, not a BW fan. Started attending SKT's matches just to see him, but eventually fell for the game itself too :D
P.S. Be an SKT fan. You know you want to join us.

Something you might need to know, or notice, is that sometimes at the beginning of the game, they show the crowd, and half of them are playing on their cell phones for the first few minutes.
don't loose patience if nothing happens in the first few minutes. Most bw games are macro games.
