I'm such a nerd I actually want to get back into SC again, but I've been watching an assload of vids to get an idea of what I want to start working on again.

Anyways I might as well start it off.
I like anything tarren

Flash
Boxer
FBH
Nada

yes even Hwasin.

I just love vulture micro, wraiths, M&M, and anything with seige mode, also the ZvT matchup is my favorite to watch Sci vessels vs Defilers is never boring to watch

also my favorite thing is that tarrens are so mobile with their buildings, even if this is already old and known info. I mean seriously saving expansions is so awesome with moving your base.

Like I remember some old plays where boxer moved his entire base before the other guy got there, even though he lost it was awesome.

Terran is the most boring race in the game. Ughhhh

Zerg leads to the most entertaining games, but Protoss is my favorite race for now. I'm still a SC noobie but Bisu is my favorite player. I'm still cultivating my favorites, though, so I don't really care about that. I just like seeing dope games. I'm watching all of Diggity's commentated games on his youtube account, and once I finish with that I'll move to Klazart.

I don't play the game and have no desire to play it, as watching it as a spectator sport is entertaining enough.

lol my personal favorite is rise, he has a good sense of humor. Really though most of the commentators from sc2gg are pretty decent I think. Klazart is probably the best one in terms of actual match commentating, but he doesn't use as much humor as rise.

but I've always loved tarren since I bought the game and for WC2 orcs even through WC3..

even when orcs and humans sucked when UD and NE were so gay

I only watch tarren matches lol, pvp bores me and zvz, I do like pvz though some air fighting in SC is cool, since most of the game is fought on the ground

Personally I like tarrens because there are so many build options

My fav race is toss, and my fav player is Nal_ra for being one of the first real toss innovators and using unique builds.

also, the "Holy War" between Nal_ra and Savior in 2006 was **** amazing even though nal_ra lost 1-3.

lol fbh

whatever people may say, bottom line is that it's pretty funny unless you like the guy he's playing against...at all.

klaz is good cause he talks fast.
but he gets too excited sometimes
his high pitched mid-eastern esque voice
gets pretty annoying.

i prefer starcraft commentary to be without humor anyways.

I dunno, I don't like flat commentaries and I think the koreans are the opposite of what you say? I hear them yelling all the time when something awesome is going on. It's more fun with some flavor to it rather than someone just calling it like it is, this isn't radio and commentary is a payless job unless you're tasteless and you can make money off events and gomtv.

I just like rise because he jokes around, but still does the commentary...

like to me a good example for commentary for 3s: (old ranbats)

light hearted and fun, since I know what's going on for the most part in the first place

bisu, stork, jangbi, nal_ra (even if he retired) just to name a few great players

some old anytime stuff too

I don't mind when they go through the tech tree but it's boring to watch turtles.

everybody here cept P should play SC with me instead of watching it

Also watching SC becomes much more enjoyable when you start to understand the game. You can never fully understand Starcraft by just watching
