EPTtl;dr I cast all of Leenock's games and they are up on youtube for your viewing pleasure, links after the word wall.
I just recently finished casting all of Leenock's games at MLG Providence and have put them all on YouTube. I thought of this idea right after Providence wrapped up and everyone was talking about how Leenock braved his way through the open bracket and took down opponents such as MMA, MVP, Idra, HuK, DRG, and Naniwa to win the whole thing. I knew a lot of his games weren't cast due to the fact that he certainly wasn't one of the more popular players at that tournament when it was just beginning (and his early opponents weren't either).
So, when MLG released the replay packs, I got to work, and all though it took me quite a while (due to work and an internship), I have finally finished casting all the games and I wanted to present them to the community at large. As a warning, I have no previous experience casting and just figured this would be a fun and educational thing to do. However, assuming I get a positive reaction from the community I would be glad to do this for another player as I had a great time doing it and would love to get better at casting.
So I'll give you a link here to the playlist and my channel, and since I have more respect for teamliquid's website then to just post two links, I will also organize all the games by racial match ups and with a short description as to what to expect in individual games. Please feel free to say any and all criticisms, negative comments, and death threats either here or on any of my videos. If for some reason you feel your comment would best be kept more secretive then feel free to send me a personal message either here or on YouTube. (Positive comments are also welcome ^_^)

ZvZ Games:

Leenock vs. Infernozz
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: I wouldn't recommend this game at all unless you're set on watching the whole series and/or want to see what it looks like when a pro goes against an average joe.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: Same thing as last game.
+ Show Spoiler +
Leenock vs. DMducky
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: Same pro vs. joe story. Ducky is better then Infernozz but his micro isn't enough for Leenock's aggressive baneling/speedling play.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: Again, not an extremely interesting game. But does show how important army positioning is.
+ Show Spoiler +
Leenock vs. HayprO
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: Leenock punishes HayprO for taking an early expand and not getting up banelings fast enough. Very typical speedling/baneling antics.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: HayprO tries to punish Leenock for his early expand but is not as successful and ends up losing to many drones to Leenock's amazing baneling/speedling play.
+ Show Spoiler +
Leenock vs. DongRaeGu (Set 1)
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: A decent look at early speedling/baneling play games. This one comes down to about thirty seconds of whose banelings can be used to a greater degree.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: Leenock gets rather crushed and tries to make a comeback all game but never amounts to anything. Interesting mainly in what a player will try to go for if they are way behind in a game.

Leenock vs. Slush
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: This game shows how a couple of well placed banelings can end a game in an instant.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: I highly recommend this game. Leenock does a very interesting queen and infestor push to take the game.

Leenock vs. Idra
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: Builds up to be an intense baneling/speedling micro match, but Idra leaves when he sees he's behind, which cuts out most of the main action.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: An all around decent ZvZ. Not amazing, but good.

+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: A good lesson in rally points and overlord positioning.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: Good speedling vs. roach play.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 3: Very back and forth speedling/baneling exchanges. But this game shows why a player has an extremely hard time macroing up once the baneling/zergling exchanges start.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 4: Leenock getting punished for early expanding, but some AMAZING drone splitting that is worth watching.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 5: Leenock effectively using mustalisks against a lower teched zerg. Good game.

Game 1: Another great game, highly recommended.

Game 2: Marine/Siege Tank play at it's finest.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 3: A great timing push with speedling/banelings. More of an analytical game then the rest of my mine.

+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: A roach 1-base all in play punishes Gatored's forge/FE. Interesting for protoss sim city and Leenock's decision making with his early units.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: Leenock again holds a very fast gold base again his protoss opponent.

Game 1: Leenock once again showing how to take a quick gold base against a forge/FE protoss on Antiga Shipyard.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: Leenock puts up an amazing defense against HuK's extremely aggressive play. (Also HuK makes 1 very major mistake that very well could've changed the course of this game).

Leenock vs. Naniwa
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 1: Naniwa does a great job holding off a 1-base roach all-in from Leenock.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 2: Leenock does a more successful roach rush and the game from there is rather standard.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 3: An early attack from Leenock gives him a decent lead and he holds on to it, another good game.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 4: Leenock does a very early roach push and perfectly keeps his roaches out of sight until they are at Naniwa's base.
+ Show Spoiler +
Game 5: Leenock does another early roach push and denies Naniwa's expansion for a long time.
