I've been following HD since he started out and Husky even longer, but often times I feel that there just isn't enough new material between the two satisfy all my SC2 commentary needs.
So im wondering: Are there any other commentators out there worth keeping tabs on? For SC2 that is. I'm thinking mainly about via youtube or equivalent services, but im open to other sources too. As long as the commentary is solid thats all that really matters.
Day9 is, imo, hands down the best commentator on the interwebz. He's on a whole different level then other regular SC2 commentators. HD and Husky are entertaining, but their technical knowledge is lacking, same with thegunrun. Orb's stream is very good for high level play, but finding his rage entertaining is a personal preference, but I find it hilarious.
EDIT: These are all streams that can be found here on TL. Finding youtube vids is pretty hit or miss imo. But if you follow the streams here, you can get really good commentary with new content everyday.
I like day9 because of his enthusiasm and knowledge. Sometimes it's annoying to watch some of the lesser skilled commentaries because they make bad calls and don't understand why someone is doing something. But that is the price you pay when you shoutcast more than you play. =)
HD and Husky are very entertaining, if entertainment value is what you desire.
Gotta say Rise, HD and Husky just don't know enough about the game and their comments are often completely wrong and they simply miss alot of key information in the game (Upgrades, expos, unit combos...)
Gretorp is fun to watch as the others have said he tells us what he's thinking/doing as he plays, Day9 obviously and though I'm not personally a fan of Orb's commentary its still something to watch for its play.

This man is one of the few true nerds in the world ^^
I like all of the commentators too but I do watch HD and husky more just because I tend to have access to my cpu right when they are doing livestreaming(BTW in the US they are livestreaming at 4:00PM! Pacific standard is 1:00PM! HD's livestream link.
Day, Gretorp, LzGamer and Nony are consistently good althought you might not hear Nony . I haven't tried every stream though obviously so I'm sure there are others that are great.
There are others that aren't bad but just do weird things all the time or don't seem to mind when they have 10 people in their ventrillo commentating about random stuff. Also, random zooming-in or blasting techno music from some streamers is just annoying IMO.
A stream I was watching the other day was commentating a match and they had a guy in the background on the phone (and you could hear the entire conversation) for about 10 minutes before I gave up on it.
Overall, they're all better than I would be but a * doesn't necessarily mean it's a GREAT stream.

Is there a protoss or zerg version of Gretorp? Since I haven't found one HD and Husky are sufficient enough for me in my current noob state of time.
THANKS A TON for all the good feedback everyone. Now I can go around "shopping" for a few new commentators to add to my daily checklist
I understand many of these sugggestions are not youtubers, but streamers here on TL. I do follow some of them too, but the problem is it a bit hit or miss wether anyone worth watching is online. I guess I should look into any on-demand functions for those channels. I must admidt I haven't really checked that out. Quality is also a bit low for many of the streams unfortunately. I am spoiled by HD =P
Thanks again for all the nice feedback. If anyone feels someone good has not been mentioned yet, speak up
crotas streams/games are for those who dont have SC 2 and want to see stuff he has the work ethic of a starving chiense guy. hes not the best commentator around but he is great if you want to see people play.
diggity is good if you want more in depth analysis on certain units and timings so you are more informed about what is going on in each game. Day9 is good if you want to learn how to play the game. One segestion though if your watching the D9dailys watch them in video rather than in the live. (to view video go under the video and you will see D9D 102 ect and click one of those) that way it wont lag.
Husky is poorer commentator out of two from HDH, but they do lack the general knowledge and miss out on things pretty constantly. Day9 is best imho and rest r personal preference
He has an extremely simple play style, and he teaches you how to gain the economic advantage. He also does boss ass stuff like: baneling carpet bomb, 1 queen tank with 3 transfusers, high ground neural parasiting.
He's extremely fun to watch, and he plays alot of pros too.

When he gets back to doing it consistently, Orb Knows Best is pretty good for any copper-gold level players. It's not at all like his stream. His normal stream is pretty average just because he spends less time analyzing what he's doing and more time whining about OP.
I guess it depends on what you want to get from it - actually focusing on learning stuff, or mainly entertainment (I watch SC2 like others watch soccer basically =P) with the added bonus of maybye being able to pick up something you can use or investigate more later.
I agree HD and Husky are perhaps not perfect when it comes to all the small details of the techical stuff, but they make up for it with enthusiastic commentary, and thats probably even more important atleast in terms of entertainment value.

Yeah, everyone knows Day9 and Chill are great but Gretorp is really, really good too. I also like djWheat and Martijn from GLHF, but I don't like Gunrun who Martijn always casts with so.. Oh and Rise, for sure watch his casts. Hm, and Joseki is good (he's also quite a good player) but his casting partners aren't too great..
Gotta agree with the majority of people, that Day9 is one of the best, if not the best commentator. Hd and Husky are ok, but lack some knowledge of builds and such but still entertaining to listen to, also orb is a surprisingly good commentator although he rarely commentates defiantly check him out. Another great caster is Thegunrun, although he is still new to starcraft his casts are really entertaining and he also casts a lot of great tourneys in awesome quality.
Rhavanna is awesome! http://www.livestream.com/storr Really great Terran player, who provides humorous, yet insightful commentary to her own or others' games. Highly recommended stream!

I like everyone BUT this guy. I find his commentaries incredibly annoying and he usually picks pretty stupid games to commentate on.
Husky is my favorite to watch for entertainment. Day9 is best for in-depth analysis, and I've learned a lot from him (sometimes he sounds pretentious and it puts me off, but I know it's not intentional <3). goatrope is good fun just to have in the background while I'm doing other things. I've learned a lot just watching orb play and rage; he's not as high level as other skilled players in my opinion, but he says some really deep things off hand that don't occur to many commentators.
Day9, Rise (funny as hell), Chill (funny guy as well), orb (very knowledgable about the game), Dj Wheat is decent, but feels like hes missing a bit of game knowledge.
Day9, Nony, Chill, Tasteless, and maybe orb are the only ones I really like. They actually have a clue what they are talking about.
I like DJwheat too, but I know hes pretty bad so he definitely needs a co caster for deeper insight. With a co caster though he definitely seems to understand how to commentate games better then just about anyone.
Day[9] & shoutcraft by far. I'm not a fan of Husky or HD simply because they lack the knowledge. Day[9] knows his shit inside and out and shoutcraft is very entertaining (though he cators to a more beginner audience).
djWheat is a pretty funny guy, I've enjoyed his casting for the SC2 TLI US invitational.
I'll definitely repeat Rise and Diggity, who both did excellent SC1 commentary and have youtube channels where they've uploaded a handful of SC2 VODs.
Moletrap and MattandSteveSC on youtube are also great commentators, but I don't think they're commentating SC2 yet. If you're looking for some english commentary on this past season or the upcoming OSL, I'd check them out.
Day[9] is no doubt the best. I also enjoy orb's commentating quite a bit when he does it. Chill too. I don't quite like HD and Husky though, I just can't stand their voices for some reason.
I like to watch orb's matchs, commented by himself. There's always good stuff, too bad my internet is horrible and I can only watch when I'm in the house of a friend. At least there is someone else to lol with, since his channel is so awesome it is worth to watch it with your buddies.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my own stuff, though I haven't updated my Youtube channel since joining iCCup as a caster myself: http://www.youtube.com/AskJoshy
DJ Wheat is awesome. He hasn't done much SC2 commentating yet as far as I know so I just wanted to put a recommendation in here so that if you guys see that he's covering something you should definitely check it out!
Day9, Chill, Rise, Husky, Orb and DJ Wheat all offer the best balance between entertainment and game insight, some more than others. I'd recommend checking them all out.
My favorite commentators are tasteless and super daniel man. But I dont think they do commentating for sc2 yet. I could be wrong and I hope I am. If someone knows about some stuff they commentated please PM me and tell me! Please! =D
I'd say Rise is the only "youtube" commentator worth watching. You'll realize Hd and Husky just lack so much knowledge once you start watching good commentators/ playing on a high level. I was a huge fan of HuskyStarcraft when he had about 600 subscribers to 2k subscribers but then I started watching day9 and saw how bad Husky is. Artosis + Tasteless is my favorite duo to watch, but sadly they haven't commentated any sc2 together.
There are 3 that I actually watch. Plus whomever is hosting a tournament.
Day9, for his in-depth replay analysis. Gretorp, for his amazingly analytical commentary while he plays. (even though he's T and I play P, it's amazing what I can learn from him). Goatrope, or as they refer to it, "The goat show" for hilarious late-night gameplay and conversation with Goatrope and a few of his buddies. It's like the SC equivalent of your early morning radio show.
I want to say Nony, because of the playstyle I've seen other people talk about. But literally the past 4 times I've tried to watch his stream, he's gotten stuck in some kind of standstill for 20 minutes.
Day9 for straight up technical godliness and knowledge.
husky and HD are nice for entertaining filler audio as well as general ambiance during the match. Their commentating does create good ambiance to the game and are especially good for the uninitiated casual observers to listen to.
I'll agree with the general theme in that Day9 and Tasteless are great. IMO for the specific reason that they play random, and they rarely, if ever, complain about imbalances, instead they find ways to work around them (wow how innovative :D), they also dissect the game (more Day9) so it's easily understandable and valuable if you're trying to learn the game, on top of all that they respect the little things, like overlooked micro movements, map positioning, and building canceling/scout counters. But yeah, my opinion is a bit biased because I have been listening to them for a long time.

I would support this petition!
Day[9] is just a must and miles above everyone else, and I haven't found a SC2 player yet who does not like his commentaries and does not find his daily shows both educational and entertaining. Previously mentioned Chill, Diggity, DjWheat, TheGunRun (GLHF.tv), LzGamer, HD, Husky, Orb, Vyanta/Attero can all provide good commentary and really depends on your personal preferences. I like watching Artosis streams as well, he answers questions from spectators and it can be quite insightful.
The only one I seriously dislike is Rise, he's not that knowledgeable and I dislike his style of humor (but people who love the "low IQ, gross" style comedies will love him, and there's plenty of them out there, otherwise he wouldnt be so popular).
Husky and HD are the best in my very biased opinion , im sure day9 etc. are better to watch to learn the game but just not as entertaining to listen 2 as husky and HD..but again, its just personal opinion based on what ur looking for when listening to a commentary
I like Sid's stream. Very knowledgable, and he commentates during his games, which is nice. (Get to hear the player's thought process about unit choices, what the other player's build order is signaling, etc.)

Heya! You can find both Crota and SaharaDrac are both SC:L staffers and you can find their commentaries on SC:L's channel:
I logged on BNet this morning and got this message instantly: maxijazz: ur huge retard dude cause of ur whines on razer finals zotac admins banned on of our best commentators. enjoy thousands of haters now crygirl. thing is he wasnt lagging at all and never did, he was just alt-tabbed in preparation to match. hopefully makers will get rid of u ahole ;S
So i guess who ever he is talking about must be a good commentator!
I like day9 the best i think, helps that he plays all the races to a fine level, and he's obviously a good talker - very talkative and i like listening to what he has to say.

-Stigma
Day9 is overall the best commentator because hes a bit (or a lot for some) more enthusiastic and funny then HD and Husky, and light years ahead in strategy
"His extractor has been up for FOUR SECONDS and he still ISNT GATHERING GAS! WHAT POOR MICRO!"
Then you're not watching a hardcore commentator.
Though, if anyone knows of commentators would actually comment on the game instead of picking at the players, please let me know. It's really hard to listen to the current popular batch without rolling my eyes. Imagine watching a hockey game while the commentators go "Oh no... look at that mistep with the skate... If he had just lifted his foot an inch higher, he could have gotten a quicker boost. Also, they scored twice while I was talking about shit nobody cares about."
I simply loved the DJ Wheat, Day9 and Chill combo yesterday. A lot of professional insight. Great humor and pretty interesting talk overall.
E.g. even DJ Wheat doesn't know as much as the others he did so well asking interesting questions or keeping the conversation going. Just great.
Regarding HD and Husky. Well they were pretty much the start for me. And watching SC2 Videos in High Quality was simply so cool. But once I got into Beta, decent skilled myself and watched Day9 it just got so annoying to listen to wrong information / little strategy knowledge. Often I was like "Didn't you see him Feedback-Kill these 5 Medics? And now you even wonder how he could win this fight so easily?! Gah.."
But still props to them for all their engagement and they attract a lot players to SC2. Would be just nice if their SC2 knowledge / skills were a bit greater.
I think XDlove on PLU is actually the best. He comments live games almost everyday and he used to be a very competitive player (kind of like Day[9]). Too bad it's not in English.
I have bookmarked alot of casters and not so many streamers, but the ones I tend to come back to frequently is:
Day9 is ofcourse given, but kinda hard to find his stuff lately. Psystarcraft - Zergplayer. To few of those casting, + funny aslong as he dosent censor his language, as he seems to have been doing lately. Blizshouter - Dont know really why I like this awkward caster, but I do. Not superhigh-level wich motivates me to play, since I feel I should be able to play equally good. Ive only seen one cast with Greetorp, but that was really super great so I have no doubt that he will become one of my absolute favourites.
Has Tasteless done any commentating yet? Ive seen all the major tournies so far and haven't heard him but I was curious since it is easy to miss things what with all the hustle and bustle of the scene emerging.
less known commentors like nukethestars and ranshin are pretty entertaining when you just want to watch a game without worrying about the technical aspect. They also give pretty good hype videos.
I miss klazart and cholera =(
Moletrap/digigty are still trucking, dont leave us!
I'm going to go against the common consensus and say that Day9 is overrated. Good, but overrated. I find it hard to swallow his constant hyperbole and I really don't like the way he accentuates certain phrases. He is knowledgeable, but as a result he is very opinionated and as such his often normative 'advice' is best suited to a player that shares his approach to the game. As with any commentator its best not to take him at face value.
And yes, the face-cam.
As for the 'best' commentators, I will say BW, and I will say Korean. Observant, funny and analytical - and I get all that without even knowing the language. (I'm half-serious here!)
Does Superiorwolf still do commentary? I remember him getting quite good at commentating and noticed remarkable improvements. I really enjoy watching Klazart's youtube channel even though I believe he has retired. As for SC2, I love GLHF channel and Day 9 of course~
Tasteless is the best caster, Day[9] with a close second. DjWHEAT is fun to have commentating. Everyone else's voices crack and don't know what they are talking about.
Day9 is very good. But his daily cast is too long imo. I cba watching a 1 hour cast every day. I really like Psy's casts on youtube on his own games, very enjoyable and he taught me a lot.
Day9 and Chill are typically the commentators I go to for professional SC 2 commentaries. There are a lot of other commentators who possess the knowledge, but their names don't stand out for me yet either because they're not as entertaining or because they don't commentate as much. Certainly, people like Nony, Orb, and give excellent analysis, but I feel there's more to commentary than analysis, though Nony is sometimes highly entertaining in a subtle way. Joseki, Raelcun, and Diggity are good, too, though I haven't been following them much.
Tasteless - I haven't seen him commentate SC 2. If we're going to consider BW, then yeah, the Artosis-Tasteless duo was great as a counterpart to the Day9-Chill duo. But neither of them have been commentating SC 2 as far as I can recall. Maybe someone can correct me on this.
Rise is a great commentator for non-technical people. His commentary in the USA vs. Canada matches was hilarious. I have a friend who watches SC 2 for entertainment and who simply loves Rise's commentary because it's accessible and funny. He isn't bothered by Rise's non-technical style and in fact thinks that might be a good thing. I think TheGunrun is similar.
HD & Husky are closer in knowledge to Rise than Day9 & Chill, but closer in style to Day9 & Chill than Rise. I like their synergy, but do echo the sentiment that if they're going to follow the Day9 & Chill style of commentary - a style that I consider analytic rather than just entertaining - then more knowledge about the top SC 2 scene is a good thing.
Haven't heard too much from DjWheat, but I certainly don't have an issue with his commentary. I think he might throw the F-bomb a little too much for mainstream commentary, though
For non-English commentators, I rather like Zerator. Even though I cannot understand French, the dude is funny in a way that translates across linguistic barriers.
DjWHEAT is a good commentator, i think he only really swears a bunch when it's not serious. i know he casted some WoW games on MLG like a year or 2 ago. Tasteless hasn't casted SC2 but i'm sure he's much better than anyone else at casting...
Day9 is amazing for insanely in-depth replay analysis. As he is a real pro. Many starcraft years under his belt. You can find him under the "User Streams" right here.
Diggity is a really good commentator.Another real pro. Totally gosu. He has a youtube channel.
Finally goatrope "the goat show" is simply hilarious and educational at times. He has several "goat builds" such as the megarax. And goatrope is a top tier platinum player too. You can find him under the "User Streams" right here.
thegunrun and martijn (did i spell that right?) are pretty good, but what i dont like is that they miss things, even when they observe right they miss stuff and/or just dont mention it ... pretty weird oO
also i dont like that they get too excited about certain stuff, like the most annoying tactic in sc2, which is void rays in pvt. in the morrow vs phobos game yesterday it made me so angry that i had to turn off the stream. ^^
Thanks for the mentions I got as myself and the nods at glhf.tv as a whole, I'm doing my best to improve our broadcasts when I can. Everything from reviewing replays from players to prepare for matches to keeping a notepad/playbook with plays for individual big name players.
And to let out some of the frustrations of the past week: I hope people do understand that the game during beta changes so much there's no way to keep up with everything. Never mind the rather significant differences between players on the EU and US realm so no caster will get it right always. Please give everyone a decent chance, too many people have been hating commentators for little to no reason. Yesterday I commented on a players build beforehand, then while he executed that exact build said "yes, early xx by yy, interesting" and right away had people go "omg he doesn't know yy's build!" Just because I call something interesting, doesn't mean I'm not familiar with the build or even surprised that a player is doing it.
And last but not least, STOP hating on Commentator X because you like Commentator Y and don't spam links to another persons stream in the chat. People need to realize that most the commentators are on good terms with one another. There is hardly any rivalry going on there. Commentators help each other with their setups and cover for each other when needed. So the last thing most of us want is to steal viewers from one another. If there's nothing going on, by all means, but I've felt obligated to apologize to other casters because viewers were spamming our link in their chat and I've seen it happen in our chat as well and felt sour. You are not serving anyone with this, this is not what the commentators want.
There, feel much better now, tl.net therapy.
That said, Day[9]'s by far my favorite sc2 commentator to watch and wheat is multigaming genius when it comes to casting.

I agree. The cast was really good .I really like Chills canadian accent. And Wheat is simply awesome.
gotta give some special love to gunrun too. although he might not be the best technical caster and the music he has in his playlist is terrible, he really has ambitions and has brought somany nice games to the people of sc2. still remeber how he saved the hdi? that was so nice. pure hero bear semen there. also big up to martjin?, keep up the good work, oh and gunrun, stop saying guys all the time, and no, folks is not acceptable either. apart from that, gretorp! i think he is smart and by that i dont watn to say that i am equally smart for spotting his smartness. its just, despite all his rational behaviour , i really sense a good emotional person behind that mic. and finally some hate: orb, stop swearing all the time. its just annoying. dont know what ppl like about your "rage". i think its just embarrassing. no offense! if all of you casters keep influencing eachother, we gonna have a mighty caster lineup when sc2 finally comes out. oh and dont forget, when the time comes, you gotta talk in way, so that also the newbs understand you, find the right balance, but for now i love that nerdtalk. we still need someone who is really fast with the mic and has some hyper voice to push the viewers if something dramatic is happening.
Day9 of course, for his dailys and such. As far as just regular STREAMING --DaBoO hands down.
He's skilled, he talks to everyone in chat while he plays, and he commentates on everything he does. I like his stream a lot, its definitely a good thing to watch.
Hard to name a favorite since they all kind of have different styles. glhf.tv and attero would have to be my favorite two, although I'll pretty much watch whoever is covering anything worth watching.
Day9, Chill, Orb (when he's talking strat and not bitching), DJ Wheat, Gretorp, Lz, Nony. Unfortunately for Zerg players there isn't a lot of great strategy commentary specific to Zerg other than Artosis's stream. His stream is awesome, but he streams when I usually sleep and watching on-demand is annoying because his stream cuts out so much that you can only watch them in 6-7 minute pieces usually. But if you're willing to deal with it, his stream is definitely where it's at for Zerg.
Edit: And I just wanted to also say that Day9 and DJ Wheat together is a sick combo and I hope to see more of that.

Agreed! We love each other. I personally would be glad to work with anyone at any time, though of course if iCCup needs me to cover something I'd have to help them out first. Martijn, TheGunRun, Rise, whoever else is covering events and need backup, I'll be on Skype. =P
realistically only day9, chill, djwheat, goat etc are worth watching if u want to really learn anything at all. the other casters are, in large part, incapable of doing anything besides play-by-play as they clearly lack the game knowledge to make more in-depth calls or comments. A+ effort for those that put so much time and effort into casting though, but don't expect anything but play-by-play for the vast majority of the 'big name' casters.

In terms of knowledge, Day9 is a good commentator to watch.
As much as I like Husky and HD, I just feel they miss too much and lack general game knowledge for commentating purposes. Simple things like knowing what the early startings of a build means for the early to mid game.
I am a fan of Isktaumesk (mancatcher on youtube) for his hilarity, Day9 for his tactical analysis, Rise for his personality, and HD and Husky for their volume of commentaries.

Yeah, Psy is actually becoming a favorite of mine, brilliant humor and excellent pointers on how to play Zerg, every Zerg player should subscribe to him.
Other than him I watch TotalBisquit, HD, Husky, Day9, and I am looking into who else I should follow.
Day9!! It's not just that Day9 knows what he's talking about but he's also really vibrant about it. He gets like really excited when he's talking about stuff that's happening.
As a Zerg-player I will recommend Psy aswell. Reasons:
-Skilled high platinum. -Even manages to cast his own livegames while commentating and winning. -Great humor. (sarcastic like someone mentioned) -Explains the reason behind his actions very well. -Makes videos regularly.
And of course, Day9, but I'm sure you got that allready.
Day9 is my favorite commentator. I think HD and Husky would be so much better if they just played the game more. They get really annoying sometimes, like ranting on for a whole minute about how one less worker = their economy is slashed and is going to have to make a huge comeback.
day9, whole bunch of sc2gg people including Rise, Diggity..., awesome guys... tasteless artosis => maner raelcun => nice guy :D Debo=> funny guy xD HD+H => awesome people xD NonY=> quite but cool xD Brent Psyonic Reaver + LzGamer => addicted to these guys orb => really, really, dont like him when he rage :| => watch him if you want to laugh at raging moments
GLHF.tv: grrrrrreaaaatteeee musics!!! nice voice and very polite xD!! love this one :D
Day9, not only because he's totally awesome but because he becomes really excited when he's talking about stuff that's happening, and he loves the game as much as you do! djWHEAT, love all of his shows, he speaks from his heart. TheGunrun, because he is TheGunrun!
Husky and HD are entertaining but they do miss alot of things and don't really know the mindset of the progamers so when they make predictions they are normally wrong.
Not so much commentators but streamers....
LzGamer is cool when he streams. He does alot of interaction with his viewers.
Orb is funny when he rages.
Debo is funny too and tries some unothoradox strats.
Tbh, Husky is kinda fading for me atm, he should stop doing "watch Husky beat random noobs" casts. So a party of three zergs with shared control can lingrush three random partners, yeah, that is a huge shocker.

He said a few weeks ago he has to have "unique" content in order to start selling google ads on his youtube account, thus more Husky casts. I agree though.
Plays a bunch of games against USA pros, and is consistently rank1 (if that shit even matters to you).
I feel like his micro is decent. He had a nice series with Moo and a bunch of games against gretorp, axslav, drewbie, moonglade, sheth.
I am sure he has played all these people. I would say the entertainment factor is definitely part of his casts but staring at day9's face all day is not entertaining to me.
HD = overdramatic Husky = shouter, loud
I still watch both their vods on youtube though usually. good players = dont mean you gotta listen to the commentary.
ALSO - mancatcher on youtube. freakin crazy ass games and a style that i have not seen and never will see again.
Then Husky should focus on doing interviews like the incontrol one, maybe interviewing then on skype while reviewing games with them, he wouldnt need to actually meet up with them.

Gretorp is fun to watch as the others have said he tells us what he's thinking/doing as he plays, Day9 obviously and though I'm not personally a fan of Orb's commentary its still something to watch for its play.
As someone who just recently came to the SC2 stream community I will say:
Day[9] and Chill HDStarcraft and Husky Gretorp and Goatroap for a fun time
Also there is a British guy I listened to once that was really good but I don't remember his name, any ideas?
As for everyone saying orb, he is entertaining if painuser is there with him but overall he need a LOT of practice to provide any kind of decent commentary.

That probably won't work. You can't get Youtube partnership if the majority of what you show is game footage (unless you are a reviewer, even then it's pretty hard). The obvious exception to this is Machinima.com. Youtube needs to change its rules otherwise you won't make any money off of it with shoutcasting.

Cool, Psy and HD will actually play each other in a 4vs4, that should bring some much deserved publisity to Psy.
Also, it will be cool if both parties shoutcast the game, that could show some of the differences in how they commentate, and how they think about the game.

Well that can't be me, I'm awful.
Dude, you're British. I'm an annoying white guy. Lets keep this in perspective.
Yes but I don't know anything and only took and interest in Starcraft when the SC2 beta started. You have something of a headstart, hell EVERYONE does. I make shit up and shout as loudly and quickly as possible in the hope that people don't notice. Sooner or later someone will
TB: Everybody know that you are not the most knowledgeable of the commentators, you are scoring hugely on your personal style as well as the pure britishness. Its like watching premier league with laser guns, very nice, eh, indeed. Also, I think you are coming along nicely with regards to game sense. I still remember watching live when someone did the extractor trick and you and your partner were totally at loss as to why he did that at the start. :D
Husky: I really like your commentating style, and you have a solid grasp on playing the game, it is the side material that has kinda bored me lately. Hopefully you will find more interesting matches to cast now that HDH is finished. Huge congrats on that btw, what a stunning success.

Ahh yes, the first ever streamed match. I'd never played SC1 multiplayer at that point. Seems like a long time ago, in reality it was about 3 months, crazy.
Husky and HD actually sound like commentators though. Day9 bores me. Yeah, he's more knowledgeable about the game but I literally fall asleep halfway through. I find he lacks enthusiasm on his commentaries. It would be like hearing Kobe Bryant commenting throughout an entire basketball game.. yea, he would have alot of knowledge, but would put the viewer to asleep.
I guess if your learning about the game and looking to improve on your game, day9 would be the better commentator - but if you just wanna relax and watch a good, entertaining game that doesn't sound like a robot talking in your ear, then HD and Husky are the best right now (for english).
Day9 has a far more entertaining and less annoying demeanor then Husky and HD. It has been torturous watching the HDH. They say the most ignorant, blatantly wrong, stupid things, and miss things constantly. Sometimes it's funny, like when Nony builds a starport and HD says maybe we'll see void rays, etc. Or when they can't figure out how to make a 2 player map. One of my favorite starcraft forums always has a topic going during the matches, and we point out and laugh at every stupid and incorrect thing they say. Makes a good drinking game as well. But the way they speak is annoying too, particularly Husky. Every time I hear "h -to-the-usky-husky" I want to punch my screen.
But ultimately, HD and Husky are not anywhere near the same league as Day9.
Oh man, I just watched a TotalBiscuit commentary and I was laughing my ass off! His unique style makes you want to pay attention to the match from to start to finish! He even calls the team colors as "trunks"!
The hype about HD and Husky is ridiculous, which many times proves the point:
What is mainstream/popular usually isn't that great.
It boggles my mind that they have more views on YouTube than some of the other commentators who operate at a much higher entertainment level and analysis level!
Edit: don't let me leave out that we owe them alot for their love of community and have added alot for the tournaments. However, high level commentary is out of the question.

Entertainment level is an opinion and not a fact. In my opinion HD and Husky is entertaining to the casual youtube viewer that aren't necessarily interested in improving their play (if they even do play) or learning in-depth game mechanics. Do you seriously think that the 60 000 viewers that watches one of their videos represent the community here at TL? I bet that most people that view their videos on youtube doesn't give a crap if HD guess wrong what the outcome will be when a certain kind of building is put down once in a while.
It seems that the reason that HD and Husky delayed posting the final games of the HDH Invitational #1 tournament was that they both got google partnership, so that ads are shown on their youtube channel, and they get some kickback.

I really don`t like HD&Husky as they have so many annoying catchphrases and often a bad game sense. In Broodwar I switched to watching the games on the Jon747 (or how he is called) account as commentators are mostly so annoying that it destroys the games. NukeTheStars is an example for that.
Who is the guy that commentates the Asia vs. Europe showmatches with Day9? He seems pretty decent.
HD and Husky for entertainment value. I wouldn't get down on them because they may not be as good at the game as many here. They do bring in a large audience which helps e-sports grow which they have both said is there goal. So I do watch them both when they cast videos of other players playing I usually don't watch there own matches.
I watch shoutcraft which is great.
Rise - also is good but doesn't post alot of videos
Day(9) for learning the game - his blip.tv logs are excellent and cover important aspects if you are learning the game. His live commentary not really my thing.
Streams- Destiny aka Steve.Bonnell who has a stream here on TL is my favorite live stream for a specific race, he plays Zerg and actually talks out what he is doing and thinking. Yes he rages which can be funny and entertaining. He definitely interacts with the streaming audience and answers questions. Many of the live streams are just watching someone play and music not my thing.
LzGamers I just started watching and enjoy it alot also.
So for commentators my choices are- Shoutcraft HD and Husky LzGamers Rise Day(9)
I think Wheat is by far the most professional commentator out there, he just lacks a bit of knowledge on the game, but him co-commentating with an experienced player who is also a decent commentator (like day9) is an excellent combo.
day[9] and lz gamer's channels are great for all around commentary, as far as race specific I play zerg so some good one's (don't expect too much commentating) for z are
HarlequinNight's Channel Steven.Bonnell.II's Channel (so far the most amusing) TelecOm1's Channel
For Zerg there is no better channel than Steven.Bonnel.II's channel. Some days its all about his gameplay, some days its rage, but everyday its humor and good zerg play. His music choice is also top-notch and never so loud that you can't hear the game/Steven clearly.
Terran players got extremely lucky with Gretorp. From analyzing his own moves and strategy down to why what he did worked and why it wouldnt work if his opponent had done this or that. Gretorp is the man. The Handsome Man.
Day9 is THE best sideline commentator. He has a great grasp of the technical aspects of the game and combines it with good bed-side manners. For me personally even as my understanding of the game increases I can still find little bits of advice here and there during any of his casts, even if its just a reminder about a small micro action I "could" be taking during a game that I've thrown to the wayside in favor of more macro.
I would personally rate Gretorp as the best overall commentator. Unfortunately Gretorp is Terran only so until he switches to Zerg... Steven.Bonnell.II all day.
Actually, for casting live games, I probably prefer some sort of combination between djWHEAT, Chill and Day9. Just pure awesomeness.
I liked Husky a lot more when he casted BW games, not so much now. It's probably because I personally is more into actually playing SC2 than I was Brood War.
My favorite commentator is Day[9]. I'd like to say that he's superior to all the other when it comes to overall knowledge of the game.
I've played a lot of sports throughout my life and i really love the enthusiasm of shoutcraft aswell as gretorp.
I haven't seen the name "PainUser" come up quite yet. That might be because he's not really "commentating" but more or less just playing the game. But I've watched his stream several times and I found it both educational and fun.
And just to make it easier for you I've made a list of my favorite commentators. They're listed from best to least. Day[9] Gretorp Orb Goatrope Shoutcraft HD PainUser
I wish you luck in finding more commentators that are of your liking.
Crota puts out a hell of a lot of videos and they are good quality commentaries. He tries his best and cares about his fans. Find him on youtube, "BlizShouter"
I've only been casting pro replays/events for a few weeks now, the previous stuff was friends/random people. I'm still learning and have lots of room to grow, but I feel I am doing okay for only 1 month experience.
I have done a few events, GLHF.it invitational, SC2CL, and some show matches for gosugamers.net.
I would really appreciate some feedback or pointers from the veterans of the community, as I have the finals for the GLHF.it tournament on Sunday and would love to have more viewers/more criticism. (please keep it constructive)
I like to watch Husky and HD for entertainment, but PsYstarcraft definitely takes the cake, especially for zerg. He is hilarious, but at the same time teaches a lot about zerg play. Definitely got me from a high gold to a mid plat player (talking pre-diamond patch)
Just browsed through some of your vods, and I really like the style. Pretty "casual" not forced or anything and a good voice. I'll definitely try to catch some more stuff coming from you.
I watch SC2 commentators that do a good job of commentating hi-level tournaments and show matches. And I watch the ones that I can find that are actually posting them on a frequent and timely basis.
Many of the better ones don't post often enough, cause either they aren't doing them or I cant find them: chill, artosis, diggity for instance.
So far here are the most professional, enjoyable casters I enjoy on a daily basis.
Day9:
Sean's shows and commentaries are absolutely one of the most entertaining thing in my life right now on so many levels lol. Not only is his knowledge of the game vast and extensive, the pure joy this guy has for this thing - Starcraft - that he has discovered in life that has been a family obsession for over 10 years shows ... well it shows in everything he does and says, and it is infectious.
You cant help but like the guy. Not only when he is marveling over the timing of a 4 gate protoss build, but when he is pontificating on the joys of green pea soup or some wierd thing that happened with some girl in line at school that day as well.
His show is part of my daily routine for sure. Mad props to Schaughne and Chipholte burritos and everything they do for this scene.
Day9 and Gretorp:
Lately they have been doing commentaries together and when they do, it is simply spectacular. It's like watching a pro golf tournament where these two expert players are giving you a really keen insight into what is going on.
The only difference is they're not commentating on Tiger's 9 iron selection, they are analyzing The Little One's Viking use vs Zerg on Scrap Station. Simply wicked and at times hilarious as well.
Touche.
Husky and HD (HDH):
I have been watching both of them individually for over a year now, and although they are relative newcomers I saw from the beginning that they had a similar sincere love for the game and a willingness to work hard to get better at what they were doing.
Husky was always very consistant about getting VODs up on a timely basis and he always was entertaining to watch, at times hilarious. HD was obviously a bit newer to the game but he had a really sincere, excited way of commentating that kept my interest. As time has gone by they have both really stepped up to the plate in terms of game knowledge and professionalism.
When they teamed up after the start of the beta it made total sense to me, and time has shown that it's working out great.
If Sean and Gretorp are like commentators at a Masters Tournament, HDH are like Monday Night Football. In my opinion their knowledge of the game is just fine to get across the excitement and competitive spirit of the players, the scene and the game.
Congrats to them for the success of the HDH tournament. If they keep going over the next few years after release, and the game turns out to be an e-sports success (which it definitely might be) I can definitely see these two going semi-pro or pro for e-sports broadcasting. They're really good.
Everybody else:
I don't consider live streamers with a mic talking over their own game "commentators". It's not the same thing at all.
And everybody else that is commentating that wants to be watched:
Post more VODs. The more VODs you post, the more you will be noticed and watched on a regular basis. If nobody can find your VODs, very few people are going to pay attention to what you are doing.
PS:
I am a pure spectator. At this point I never played Brood War seriously, do not have a beta key, and do not play the game.
So I am a pure fan of the scene and I watch and follow this game the way some people follow pro football or soccer. Dont forget we are out here and don't forget as time goes by there might be a whole lot more on the way.
Steven Bonnell II (Destiny) is probably the funniest streamer/commentator, not to mention an excellent zerg. He's near always raging about something and his rants are hilarious, interjected between his hating on Kyle or on 'fuckin void rays (who goes them)' there is helpful tips and suggestions on how to improve or how he could have played a given match better. i myself went from bronze to gold just using tips from his stream
He sometimes even takes suggestions from the crowd in game, as we goad him to 6 pool, or GO ULTRASS, use the BROs and HOs build (mass queen into mass bro[od]lord), and somehow pulls off the often horrible ideas with his great micro and econ games (note to steven: you havent lost yet when you teched to ultras when we told you to).

No offense to anyone, but when you begin to understand the game, it's difficult to listen to people that don't understand it as well. I listen to Forsti because it's funny, but he doesn't understand Z or T (the races I play) at all. I can't listen to the rest of the 'casual' commentators, though.
In no particular order: Day9, Gretorp, Lzgamer, Psy, Rise, Chill and Inc. When Artosis and Tasteless start doing it again, I'll listen to them also. Also Nony when he occasionally does it.
In terms of play by play people, Dj Wheat and JP are the best, by far, and it's no surprise that they're the only two pros.

Husky and HD sound like commentators, but to me it sounds like they are trying to sound way too hard like them(especially husky). I watch their VODs often(HDH), and a lot of them time they don't delve too deeply into the strategy of the game like Day9 does. They just announce what is happening with their commentator voices. However, they do have quite a significant user base, so this is just my opinion.

I totally agree! But it's like you have to watch many of their VOD's simply of the player (TLO, Sen, White Ra etc) quality in the game.
It is a bit annoying. I remember scrolling down my subscriptions and having two commentators commentate the same game, and I would just gravitate toward the better commentator and not watch the other.
I wish it was like that now so I wouldn't have to put up with the analysis by HD and Husky.

I think there are many commentators, and I am a big fan of both Husky and HD. Another commentator worth mentioning is Psy Starcraft. Search Psy Starcraft and you will find his channel.
I am surprised nobody listed PsyStarcraft because I really enjoy his commentaries. I learned about Orb from this thread so thanks!
Absolutely watch Trump and Gretorp if you are a Terran player. Gretorp is the best Terran streamer in my opinion. Trump is not quite as good as Gretorp, but still #1 Diamond in his division. He is very skilled. Also, LzGamer, but I rarely see his stream up. Might be because of time zones.
After passing the last few months watching streams more than playing, i've found LzGaMeR's stream to be pretty entertaining to watch especially when he's casting with incontrol ( also pretty good when he's laddering/talking about his own games ).
I've yet to find a good zerg streamer sadly, Artosis / Sen don't stream that often and when i had the chance to see them they weren't really talking a lot.
Gotta put a vote in for SaharaDrac, my personal favourite Always entertaining commentaries and i really like the determination he has to get better at the game. quite inspiring.
And and huge thanks to all the other casters too, really turned the beta into something the whole community can enjoy and bodes really well for the future of the game as an e-sport.
I would say the best commentator would be "Tasteless" instead of Day9 because his career is actually shout casting, And he actually sees every single important thing on the map. But he hasnt done ANY Sc2 stuff yet so yeah.
Day9 is a very close second in terms of shoutcasting, only because he doesnt see "everything" imo like Tasteless does and has a weaker voice for shoutcasting unlike Tasteless.
I am talking from a pure entertainment value standpoint, if you want to learn more Listen to Day9.
I'm starting out, but am not nearly as good as day[9] or a multitude of others.
It's not all that easy to keep an eye on everything at once and try and say something remotely intelligent about it. Not that it's easier to play at that level, but still.
Definitely poke around yt and the TL streams. A lot of great commentators who I'd like to emulate at some point.
I fully endorse going back in time and viewing the back catalog of Cholera's casts on Youtube. Yes all the games are old, but he was easily the most hilarious caster to watch and its a shame he doesn't cast anymore.
Most if not all commentators miss semi-obvious things (misunderstanding build orders etc.) because they aren't up there skill-wise... so I just go for entertainment value.
I've got 20 or so games already casted and ready to upload during the phase 1 -> phase 2 beta break, and thanks to a handy Chinese program I've also got access to any and all replays played before patch 15. Just uploaded a bo3 between CauthonLuck and Axslav, and have stuff from Lickitung's Team Tournament coming up today and tomorrow!
Any other YouTube guys have plans for the time that the beta's down? Are the guys who used to have live streams going to do anything, like replay casts? Raelcun for example has decided to lose his mind and cast Robot Unicorn Attack and Joseki is casting some WarCraft III. =)

I've got replay packs from QXC, InControl, and Tarson. I will be using the same Chinese program to load any replay I have so I can cast while it's down.
Any pro players with replay packs, I'd love it if you could PM me so I could grab some off you. Of course, I would not want replays you've made public or sent to anyone already. I don't want to be stepping on any other casters toes, and wanna bring as much content to the community as we can, as a whole.
Also, any casters out there that would like to try some co-casting to practice, let me know. I wouldn't mind learning more about co-casting and getting a better feel of the SC2 community.

Yes, they miss out on a lot of things. Sometimes when watching their streams.. you can clearly see what the player is doing with their strategy.. yet they are like.. "I have no idea what they are gonna do with that.."
