Hate Speech: The Hype Train Derails; Countless Injured...

This is probably one of the single most important topics for the SCV community.

I am a long time player of the series (since Soul Blade), and your typical intermediate regional tournament player, and I think SC is the best fighter out there. Despite all of that though, I have no idea where the hell I can point someone to see some really accessible media to get them into the game.

Is there an official youtube channel for 8WR? Is there a Day9 equivilent for SCV? Where can I point online players I meet on XBL to convert them from casual to enthusiast?

You would think that a middle ground player like myself would know these things but I don't, and I want to work to change that.

One thing we need are dedicated replays online, broken down by someone explaining things in very simple terms.

An announcer yelling about how awesome 3B is doesn't tell the average player anything, it just confuses them. An announcer talking about how a player is getting hammered by vertical attacks because he refuses to sidestep puts it in simple enough terms to give commentary value to players of most levels.

Proof of that is how Day9 breaks down replays and calls Starcraft matches. Even though you may not be a master at the game or know build orders, they break it down for you so you do understand whats going on, its still entertaining to watch, even for people that have stopped playing (like me).
