    http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=50875&currentpage=334

    That's the link to the Teamliquid.net VOD thread. It's got links to most of the important SC2 tourneys, and it's also got a lot of korean sc1 matches as well, so you'll have to search a bit.

    You can also look on the right tab of the website to check if there are any SC2 tourneys being streamed at the moment, or day9 dailys. And there are usually user streams listed there as well, if you are lucky you can catch some really good players streaming like LZ or nony.

    @supergumxp:  crota is by far the worst commentator on youtube. he basically describe what's happening on the screen and he can't even do that well. He offers zero analysis and no insight into gameplay, builds, notable points, etc.
    great for a blind man, not so useful for those with IQ over 50.

    HD and Husky are a great place to go for the new comer to the game.  After you've played a few games yourself and listened to most of HD and Husky's stuff, you will appreciate Day[9] much more.    His commentaries are much more high level than either HD or Husky (especially Husky).  Day[9] really delves deep into the possible strategies and what is going through the players' heads.  He is also well regarded in the Starcraft community at large.  His daily podcasts are EXCELLENT learning opportunities as well as sometimes being hilarious.   I highly recommend him.
     
    http://da9tv.blip.tv   He has tons of game commentaries on there, and his daily Day9 Daily podcasts which generally focus on a couple games a day.

    The thing I don't like about what I've seen of Day[9] so far is I haven't actually seen him cast a game without pausing. He does go into great depth while casting, but it seems every video I've seen of his starts with a few minuets of him talking to the camera, followed by a 30+ minuet cast of a 15 minuet game. That is one reason I still prefer Husky/HD. Maybe I'm just watching the wrong videos, maybe he just does things his way.

    I don't mind that day9 pauses the game, and I actually found it quite novel the first time i saw him slow the game down real quick to point something out that might have taken too long to explain while other things are happening with the game, but yeah, he puts the camera on himself way too often, and it's never really necessary... I would much rather hear him talk about starcraft while showing me starcraft, than hear him tell a generally irrelevant story while looking at him... But, his actual starcraft commentary is second to none, so I deal with it.

    Like many others have mentioned, Crota, HD and Husky are the best guys around YouTube.

    Day9's casting isn't really casting, IMO. It's analyzing. It's not meant to be taken as entertainment (although I can enjoy his videos) as much as a lesson of sorts. 
     
    if you're into "I wanna be entertained by some starcraft", Husky and HD are the place to go. 
     
    If you want a balance, I HEAR that's what AskJoshy and PsyStarcraft (google) do - a mix of casting without pausing but with some actual analysis and advice as well. I haven't watched these two though so I don't know. 
     
    And if you just wanna laugh you can watch KKstarcraft, a guy and girl team who are trying to get popular based solely on the fact that they have a female caster, and constantly pimp it that fact on the SC2 forums.

    Day[9] has lots of real casts as well where he is usually casting games live (vs casting replays like Husky, HD and others do sometimes).  You just have to browse through his archive and find the games NOT labeled with the "Day[9] Daily" tags.   A lot of the time his casted games end up on other people's sites, like MLG (Major League Gaming) or Fragster.de or what have you.  
     
    On that note check out MLG's youtube channel.  They have a King of the Beta Hill tournament with lots of famous players  as well as tons of showmatches and other series between pro players.
    http://www.youtube.com/user/MajorLeagueGaming
     
    AskJoshy and PsyStarcraft are two great casters too.   I've recently really liked the stuff AskJoshy has been doing.  Its a good deal higher level than the HD and Husky channels, but has some analysis too (without pauses).  AskJoshy is part of ICCup tv which is a great organization that hosts lots of tournaments and stuff all the time.  They usually cast games live with AskJoshy and Raelcun doing the commentary.  PsyStarcraft is a GREAT zerg player, I haven't watched a ton of his videos yet, but he has a few tutorials that are amazing.  Plus he does lots of games of himself v others so you can get the mindset of what he was thinking when making certain moves, which is very helpful.

    Oh, sure, I'm not saying he's never done 'for entertainment' casts. He definitely has, it's just not his main thing, like it is for husky or HD. 
     
    But I HIGHLY recommend people watch Day9's cast of Chill versus CombatX. It's probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life, and thoroughly entertaining.
