Starcraft II

[Gunboat Diplomat]

Where do you watch these? I've been watching HDStarCraft, and HuskyStarcraft, and Achaia's sc2battlegrounds VOD commentaries...

The raw Korean videos can be seen from Jon747 and nevake YouTube channels.

There used to be more English commentators for these games in the past. The only ones that I know are still active are moletrap, NukeTheStars and RashinDA. These guys sometimes do multicasts (multiple commentators) with each other and put them up on the shared VioleTAK account, which is an old style director's account with no video length limit...

There were some great English commentators in the past, including KlazartSC and CholeraSC, both of whom are also heavily featured in the shared VioleTAK account. Unfortunately most commentators, including these two, haven't done anything for a long time now and have clearly retired...

This. I got into the pro scene after finding VioleTAK. At that time it mostly featured duo-commentary by Rise and Cholera. Which were great casts, they had a perfect balance between game commentating and light-hearted humor and a great chemistry and banter. Over time they became slightly inactive, gradually passing the torch over to Diggity, Moletrap, Klazart and sometimes a few others (I think I remember someone named Peanut who was pretty good at commentating?). Sadly, VioleTAK isn't that active lately. It was there I watched the latest pro-leagues finals, but before that they hadn't posted anything in months. The recent finals were commentated by NukeTheStars and Rashin. Capable guys, and definitly worth watching. But in my mind they don't really compare to the guys who got me into watching proffesional Starcraft to begin with.

I'm a JulyZerg fan and stayed up until 4:30 AM to watch a live broadcast of the Ever OSL 2008 finals where he won his Golden Mouse. I even listened to live English commentary of the game as it was being played! Those were the days...

I wouldn't really call myself a JulyZerg fan, but he has always been the player I've thought of as the greates Starcraft player ever (yes, even better than Boxer), the apm he gets up to at times is mind-blowing and just goes to show in e-sports, just as any other sports, there's always someone who will push tings even further than before.

Anyone happen to know if ALL friends can see your real ID? Because this real ID shit pisses me off.

Only friends you add as Real ID see your real name, other friends don't.

You can also disable Real ID completely if you want to, it's under Parental Control.

Yah, I figured it out. It actually is useful for people I know IRL... Though a lot of that is because blizzard cripples the non real-id system to make the real id system more attractive.
