Where can I watch exciting online battles like this? Not just for Starcraft II but for any RTS games.

I used to watch many AoE II matches but that was almost a decade ago.

Jon747 posts all (or the most prevalent) professional Korean games broadcasted, including Starcraft and will probably do SCII when it comes.

VioleTAK is now a 'hub' for a group of English commentators who do so over SC games, the account is used mostly for dual/group commentaries.  You can find links to their individual YT accounts on that page. 


Ahhh, that's exactly what I was looking for! I was surfing for quite a while but only found some old e-sports championship games to watch.

I had a feeling they havent finished all the units for zerg but at the same time its hard to have a fair battle report without all the units to back them up (zerg are my favorite so I have been paying close attention). from all the information I have been able to gather from battle reports, the website and the official starcraft development forum/blog. there hasnt been any mention of scourages. The gaurdian is back which has new ability which I like. I would really like there to be something that evens the score for zerg. Especially now since the protoss have the mother ship.

Take into account that new abilities are still being implimented and tweaked on a daily basis. For example the Terran's detector (warhawk??) was a relatively new unit and one of it's ability (hunter seeker missile or something) was only introduce a week before the second battle report. There are certainly chances that new unit and/or ability are being inputed into the game as the battlereport progress.

That Protoss unit with the shields was just introduced right before the 3rd battle report.

Actually you can see a few of them in Battle report I. However, they did not have forcefield back then.



Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

Jon747's videos are the 'raw' version straight from Korean TV, VioleTAK's and their individual commentators do it in English.

You people are aware these battle reports are staged, right?

Not that I blame Blizzard - it's a clever PR stunt. It does show off the game, and I can't ask for more than that. Still, it's not as exiting when you know the players are simply going through the motions to show off certain units/abilities, etc.

The game itself looks decent at this point - I don't like how they've handled the Zerg, myself (no Scourge btw).

Also, nevake's channel is another good place to go for professional Starcraft matches (if Jon747 doesn't have them).
