Starcraft 2 casts

In the last weeks I did spend some time watching Starcraft2 casts. I find them very entertaining to watch and they teach you to play. On the other hand watching alot casts is very time consuming. With this blogpost I will give an overview of my favorite casts. Following table contains name, url, unique features and, if existing, the main fraction and league-level the caster is playing. Because I watched casts only for the last weeks, the data assembled below might be incomplete or partly wrong. In this case please notify me and I will update things.

HDBasically awesome.Zerg/Master

HuskyReference. Different game-styles (e.g. 4v4).Protoss/~Diamond

Gom TvGreat GSL pro games. Login (e.g. via Twitter), partly free to watch.

Btw, the work on a new version of the WebGl game Wloom is almost finished. Thus there will be a new demo in a couple of days on this blog.
