all the bw vods can be found there. Also on the calendar are match dates/times, and people stream them live. Oh man almost forgot to say watch gom vods. I'm assuming you're familiar with Tasteless, and he casts a lot of sc games on gomtv.net as well http://www.gomtv.net/videos/index.gom?cate=9 I got really into sc because of gom. Even if you don't understand everything at first, it's more entertaining to have a funny commentator talking about the game then korean vods where you can start to feel overwhelmed and lost. | ||

If you want to watch Vods nevake on youtube is a good start. Vods are uploaded fairly often with at most 1-2 day delay. If you want english commentary you might have to ask someone else. I dont know where to find them  | ||

Also as a side question, does anyone have a link or something with say...the best matches/games? Or the best player's best games? It's just I *hear* about the big names, Flash, Jaedong, Bisu etc etc but I've never seen any of their games. | ||

Also don't forget The Small VOD Thread, an essential! http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=50875 | ||

You can go to #teamliquidbw to discuss about the games, or just post in the Live Report threads (made in the BW Tourneys section). If you feel you need more knowledge of the game to be able to spectate it, you can look in the gom site for old GOMTV vods which were casted in english by Tasteless + someone else. | ||

If you really want to know something specific about a game, if you post a question in the LR thread, people are very happy to answer it. Just following the BW forum itself is good too, it makes it a lot more interesting watching when you know who the players are and some of their history. | ||

I've read a bit on the teams on liquipedia, i'd like to ask a few questions... are there any teams that are dominating? i may be totally wrong in this, but the big names seem to be all in different teams and such? thanks again guys =) | ||

Of course you can enjoy watching the epic games and understand at a basic level why some of the great games are "great" but if you have a deeper understanding (build orders, players' good&bad MUs, map MUs, push timings, unit counters, general history, etc.) you will be able to enjoy games so much more. Watching BW vods with english commentary is prolly the best entrance. Husky, Day9, Cholera, Klazart are my suggestions. | ||

Moletrap (current Code A commentator, long time BW commentator): http://www.youtube.com/moletrap This commentator has been inactive for a while, but still a classic: http://www.youtube.com/klazartsc Someone else mentioned cholera, and there was a shared account for all of the above that had a bunch of dual casts: http://www.youtube.com/user/VioleTAK Also, Day9 Dailies started as BW analysis. Most of them are pretty heavy stuff ("Let's analyze the fuck out of this map for this matchup in the current metagame", etc), but the BGH 2v2v2v2 games that Day9 covered were quite funny indeed and would be a very casual, fun introduction to BW. I think those dailies were numbers 50 and 61. They're on the blip.tv archives On May 18 2011 10:17 gostunv wrote: Watching BW vods with english commentary is prolly the best entrance.
