The finals are still not on Youtube, are they using another website to host them ? It takes them time to render each video. They also need to be split up into parts if they're too long for youtube. The live stream of the finals was all one long video, which wouldn't fit on youtube. In short, it's going to take a bit of time  Rendering videos can take a fair bit of time when you're keeping the quality in it, the speed of it will also depend on how strong the computer rendering it is. Big thanks to HD, Husky, and iRip for getting this going. SC2 marks when I first really started watching pro players and streams for SC in general, and this tournament was pretty enjoyable to watch.
True but they recorded the finals before patch 13 so they surely had enough time to render it.
I'm not complaining, though. They're doing a good job given the circumstances (Bnet2.0).

Sorry, if this is inappropriate question, but where can i see final games? (replays or vods) Because first page has no information yet and i've searched through last 30 pages with no luck too.

Actually I would be surprised if anyone found out the results this way. From what Husky said before, they finished the games minutes before the servers went down for patch 13, at which time there was a reset, so the match histories would have been erased.

Also, this tournament really makes you think about how nearly impossible it is to live off being a pro-gamer. White-Ra just spent a month winning $2500. If he could do this every month (meaning there would have to be a tournament, AND he would have to win every time), he would still be making a "decent" wage. Granted, that's US standards, which is why we're the last country to have any sort of true e-Sports. Good news is that you won't be the last, though. AFAIK there are countries with higher average salary. But your point still stands. Earing a decent living as a progamer is almost impossible. There is no reason for sponsors to pay more for the tournaments, though. If they pay 5k then almost every top player would be willing to participate.
There is definitely a reason for sponsors to pay more for tournaments - Idra vs Whitera topped 25,000 viewers. If a sponsor pays $5,000 in prizes, that is paying 20 cents for each viewer to hear and associate their name with the tournament . . . most big companies would happily throw away twenty cents a person to gain potential customers, I would think that HD and Husky could easily get more sponsorships for HDH tournaments, considering the gigantic viewer base that they attracted for the live cast, not to mention the many views the vods will rack up.

I agree but my point was that companies don't want to spend more money they have to.
Why would they pay 10k if, say, 2k is enough to get them that many viewers. If you pay 10k you don't get 5x more viewers. E-sports is used to having 'low' prize pools. So $5k is going to attract as many viewers as $10k is because almost every possible fan is already dying to see the games played out.
What's more important, though, is advertising the tournament. HD and Husky did great job at that. They created such a hype that a lot of people are now watching these games and that's more important than prize money.

Another thing that's great for sponsors is that it's a wet dream of a target audience to advertise to.

Half of being a good commentator is being knowledgeable, the other half is being a good entertainer.
You two did great on both fronts. Looking forward to more tournaments with you guys, thanks for all your work.

That is not what he said. He said he got the replays sent to him shortly before patch 13 went live. And I know for a fact that people have checked the results. You can google it yourself if you like, you can find the results there. Also, even if they finished shortly before the patch went live, they would still have to have played between 3 and 6 games before that giving lurking players plenty of time to find out the results.

if you want to download, click the link "24may-hdh-final.torrent" (its torrent link)
but quality is bad! and half of 1st set is missing.
Its strange that theres no VODs on TL (and on youtube too), cuz, as i know, Day9 was one of the commentators
