For Starcraft fans(or RTS fans in general) or simply, people who are bored and nothing else better to do, there are users on youtube who have commented on various Korean Starcraft matches(see links below).
In southern Korea, Starcraft is as popular to watch as Football is popular in the U.S. to watch.
Lim Yo-Hwan(Boxer) makes nearly half a million dollars annually playing Starcraft ($390,000 including sponsor money). So, that basically says how popular Starcraft is in south Korea.
So if you're an Real Time Strategy fan, or a Starcraft fan, or you have nothing better to do right now, try watching some Korean Starcraft matches.
Anyway, Korean Starcraft commentary:
moletrap
Klazart
Just watch a match from each one to see how they comment on the matches. The videos are split, so if anyone isn't used to split youtube videos, if there is a video called "Match abc Part 1", there is probably going to be a "Match abcd Part 2" for example.
So, just pick a random video which has "part 1" on it and watch that. Usually, part 2 will be the next video after part 1 on the video page.
There's actually dozens of other commentaries(moletrap has the names in his youtube page) but I picked two of the ones I had "experience" listening to, I haven't really heard any of the commentaries so I can't comment on them but I like moletrap and Klazart's commentaries.
At first, I was going to post a match which I thought would be good to show Korean Starcraft matches at its most entertaining, except I didn't keep track of which matches that I thought were really good and entertaining.
Klazart's commentary on Flash vs Boxer - The actual match itself was okay(in terms of what actually happened in gameplay) but the fact that Klazart was talking really fast made it entertaining, so I recommend that video.
If you like watching that, then you might watching other Starcraft matches. If not or if you didn't like Klazart, you could try out moletrap's commentaries (see link above)
Also, here's a good show case of Starcraft micro in first person view Click, just skip to 15 minutes(around half way) to see the insane micro of these SC players. (BTW, the sound heard isn't from the player, it's from the observer's which is why it's "non in sync").
So, if you have nothing else to do, try watching a few Starcraft matches and see if you enjoy them.
