I voted for Build Order discussion - in reality, I want balance and theorycraft talks. Why? Because nobody wants to see other people play (Streamed live Beta games, currently first for some unknown reason) and pretty much every site will end up having "interesting" replays that could or could not be faked and/or the ability of the players will be in question (given that 2 no-names could have "interesting" replays - are they really that good or was it staged?). I think that TL's resources could be best spent moderating good SC2 discussion.

I'm clearly in the minority though.

I would like to see there more than just one option. I would like to see:
- Balance reports and Technical Q&A with players
- SC2 Beta Build Order discussion
- Interviews with Blizzard officials
- VODs of interesting high level SC2 replays

in the written order.

I'm really interested how competitive the game is and how watchable it is from spectator point of view.

I don't like the "Streamed live beta games" option because for people with crappy internet/computers (e.g. ME) this is just like a tease since I can't actually watch them. I picked VODs of interesting high level SC2 replays because I want to see more SC2 in action. A close second was Watching Artosis get DT-warped over and over

and Balance reports.

Best case scenario: Let's watch VODs of two top-players going at it, and then later hear they're analysis of the balancing issues and how they progress.

A live stream WITH high-level replays too would be best. Commentated or not, either way.

I don't see the point of just watching random players, I'd rather also watch the best so we can see the game's potential.

With that setup, you can also have some balance discussion and Q&A sessions. Maybe just 2 hours a night or something with various hosts, invite some of the SC2GG commentators if you need to.

Seeing artosis getting dt-warped will give me sufficient ways to learn how to express my anger when the same things happens to me over and over.

I picked the Balanced Reports option,

basically I'm knowledge hungry and even though I pretty much equally want to see streamed games and VODs, alot will be youtubed etc. Now this argument could go both ways, but I just feel that somehow it's harder to get back to that kind of info afterwards (although coverages usually are ace).

Looking forward to all of it

VODs of interesting high level SC2 replays, because you can watch it on demand, and in case good games are only picked, high quality games are guaranteed. Although i don't mind seeing all the other things either ofcourse.

"VODs of interesting high level SC2 replays" if there is commentary.
If not, then live stream

I prefer a livestream of sc2 beta. Please, for all of us who have close to 0% chance of having a beta key.

TBH, I want to see ret streamed.

You guys have no idea how quickly ret learns. Most of you haven't been around long enough to see how quickly this guy and a few others learn.

Also day[9], alot of you don't know this but day literally decided in 2002 to become a great/known starcraft player and then took down wgtour ladder every season under many accounts (more then 1 in the top 10 I believe but always 1 right near the top) and then usa wcg. It took him six months to go from my equal to a worldclass zerg.

This guys will fucking rule the sc2 scene, and my good friend alex aka iamaterranuser aka skew[media] who has been tanning in the southwest for a year waiting for the release is going to put every white cell to work.

Seeing this guys learn sc2 live would be fucking amazing!

If by vods you mean commentated games then yes please; otherwise just live streamed games. The artosis dt option is so hard not to pick though :/

I would say all of teh above except Inerviews with Blizz people, and the artosis crap.

All that shit is very important. Balance is primary vote though, followed by BO's, and High level playing / streaming vods.
