I’ve recently discovered the world of commented Starcraft games, mostly from the Korean Pro League, and they really, really, really hit the spot for me. They’re like the commented Guilty Gear matches on a-cho, except I actually understand what the commenters are saying.
Here’s the thing though, I don’t actually play Starcraft - the last time I played was probably a decade ago! But I love the analysis, the strategy that goes into the game, and most importantly, experienced commenters explaining it all to me. It’s like strategy crack, like a commented football match, I suppose.
Does anyone else know of such commented games? There are commented Go games on KGS, but they’re typically pay only, and there’s almost no fighter (GG, Blazblue, SF4) commentary, or at least not in English. Is there Team Fortress commentary? Counterstrike commentary? Settlers of Catan commentary?
VaulSC, a New Zealand based Starcraft commentator, also does commentaries on a wide variety of other games (Warcraft III, Dawn of War, and table-top Warhammer games, possibly more). His youtube page is here
