Yeah, I know a fair number of people who say they have no interest in gaming, but that sc2 replays are damn entertaining to watch. Given how balanced the game is, and how good it looks, I hope sc2 can start attracting some serious sponsorship and advertising money.

Both HD and Husky's channels have over 100k subscribers, Day9 is quite popular, and even non-competitive show matches can attract over 5k users on ustream. I'm a huge football (soccer) fan, but I honestly enjoy watching competitive sc2 matches more.

EDIT: What I should add is that the commentators add serious entertainment value when they cast the matches.

If you're going to pick one, I recommend HDStarcraft; his commentaries have the best stuff/fluff ratio IMO. I enjoyed his casts so much I tossed him a couple of bucks.
