Where Can One Watch [Well Organized] Professional Matches??

[TheJaz49]

I know professional tournaments air on TV in parts of Asia, and it's not that hard to find footage of such online. But online it always seems to be scattered, and a lot of people don't include the date of the match, or what cup it is, and all that fun stuff...
So I was just wondering, does anyone has any particular sites, youtube channels, etc, that they find really good for watching Pro Matches? If so could you share them here?
I love to watch games play out, and it's always interesting to see it in real time and whatnot.
Any and all responses are appreciated

For Korean broadcast, you can watch baduktv. It costs money, but it's pretty cheap. You can get it either directly from Baduktv, or from GoGameGuru: https://gogameguru.com/baduk-tv-live/

For Japanese broadcast, you could subscribe to get NHK.

There's also a Chinese go channel, I believe, though I don't recall the name.

Just be careful you know exactly what channel you are getting. My wife works for Comcast and we get NHK World for free. NHK World has completely different programming than the domestic (Japanese) NHK. I watched it fairly extensively, but never saw any go. Mostly new, cooking shows, and children's shows.

If you want live, gogameguru is your best and easiest bet. They have a google calendar you can use to figure out when the games are.

Baduk TV youtube channel has a lot of stuff

The Baduk League was shown live there last season, but there wasn't a lot of warning about it.

Looks interesting o.o

Baduk TV looks interesting, big price difference between the subscription prices.

So Baduk TV live is only in Korean right no English translation?

Does the English translation help a lot?

There is no translation for the live service, but you see up to date games.

Just look on youtube to experience a sample:

If you find this sufficient, go ahead with the live service. If you want translated series, then get that option.

The good thing about the series are that you get a set of videos focused on a particular topic. For example, "Attacking Vitamins" has several episodes, and it is all about the same theme. And the English subs are helpful if you don't know Korean.

The downside is that there are a set number of series. They are getting more, but once you watch everything, you have to wait until new stuff to come out to get more content.

The baduktv live option, on the other hand, is live so this is not a problem.
