Start w/ english commentary, there's a lot of great old and active commentators out there that can help you understand what's going on. Best starting place are probably the old GOM vods casted by Tasteless. They're older, and don't really demonstrate modern play, but they're well casted and entertaining. CholeraSC hasn't uploaded anything in 2 years, but he was an amazing commentator. Going through the archives of his Youtube channel was how i learned to watch BW. Nukethestars and Sayle are probably the best active casters. Sayle mostly does live casts of foreign games, and they're on his JTV account. Nuke is on youtube, and mostly does OSL games, so he hasn't casted a whole lot this year. Also, keep your eye on this thread. They're planning on doing some instructional VODs for newer BW players, and it looks pretty promising. Finally, since the BW community is much smaller, the ratio of good posters to douchebags is quite good. If you need any help understanding what's going on, just post on the BW forums, and people will help you out. EDIT - ONE MORE THING - For a collection of delightfully strange and silly BW games, check out this thread. Some of the games are commentated, and they're listed as a category at the beginning. Lots of good games in there. | ||

Btw I've just played 3 games with my friend, 1 on Python and 2 on Desti in NA and we RvRed and got ZvZ every time until we gave up and decided to pick races. Either random doesn't work well or we just got zerg 6/6 times. | ||

It's tough to set those up. game variants are broken as hell. i have to use the default ones. yea they used to work because in an older patch i could set it up that way. but a few patches ago they changed it and it completely broke everything for melee custom game variants along with removing some nice options that i wish were still present. so yea. im forced to use default variants. iirc theres still custom variant which lets you setup your own teams how you want to.

Otherwise, I really like the idea and I couldn't even believe you could mimick the gameplay of broodwar in such a detail. no it doesnt, dont listen to him | ||

I can't find an anouncement, but i just double checked and confirmed that he said it on last nights daily, just before he started to take questions. Also, it's being mentioned a bit on the last page of the Day 9 Daily thread here. | ||
