I was somehow sent to this video recently, which shows a SC2 match complete with commentators. Apparently, this is a popular thing now. (Do they do it for other games?)

Anyway, that video I linked is pretty amazing even for a non-SC2 player like me. Stick around for the analysis of exactly what transpired. The losing player had some seriously incredible bad luck.

I found a few other episodes to be interesting as well. Good enough to entertain me during lunch. In fact, I recommend game fans might enjoy the whole series.

I really wish we had commentators back during the Red Alert days.

Episodes 6 and 7 are really good too.

Commentating the top matches has been a big thing for SC2.

When i was playing every day, I used to watch these for strategy and tips. Haven't watched link yet, will when I get home. I wonder what they tried to do... SCV rush... CC spam... DT rush? Should be interesting.

I got some good strategies from the C&C game before last (didnt buy the last one because of DRM) from watching commentaries.

Also SupCom. ;)

I have zero interest in this game, but these videos are hilarious! Subscribed.

Is there anything else on that channel that is that good? They put out way too many videos to look through them all.

I've watched all the Cheese Fails videos that have been posted so far. 10 Season 1 episodes and 2 Season 2 episodes. All are worth watching.

I'm not the biggest fan of the color man as I think his voice is odd, but the main host is good. I love the way they shred poor sports.

I actually find some of them a bit confusing because I don't play the game, and I find myself wondering why the players aren't . I wish they'd make a "training" episode or something like that to explain some of the strategies and what the units can do, etc.
