Whilst I love watching the Street Fighting, I do wish there were some decent commentators somewhere on the planet, or that they'd offer a version with just the match on. If you watch actual sport the commentators generally add something, explaining what's going on and pointing out nuances you might have missed. These two clowns just shout "NICE" a lot and add nothing to the match whatsoever. I think sorting out the commentary would go a long way to making e-sports more mainstream.

Most (smaller) events have everyone playing everything so they have on the fly commentators who are simply nice enough to sit down and do it while everyone else was playing. There's millions of sports commentators who aren't good at their jobs, and yet they get paid for it. These guys are often just normal players who are asked to please sit for a moment so the stream isn't completely empty.
Like Diss said, UltraDavid and James Chen are a great pair, and I do like Seth Killian.
For Marvel, Yipes is of course unbeatable, but I really, really like it when Genesis is on. They're not super informative, but they're very entertaining and fun to listen to.
EDIT: as for the esports comment, I can tell you don't really watch much. Large events for something like Starcraft or DOTA or Counter-Strike already have very talented commentators and big presentation.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
