In addition to practicing like a NoDoz fiend on Spring Break, becoming a master at a game can also be aided by watching another master do their thing. That's one of the reasons why TwitchTV has become so popular in the competitive gaming crowd. The controller stars live-stream their games to over 16 million folks a month and plays host to numerous competitions and tournaments.
With so many profiles on the site, it would be virtually impossible to find out exactly who's worth watching to get an education from. So in no particular order, here are 10 pro-gamers whose streams you should check out.

DeMusliM (Benjamin Baker)
LzGaMeR (Jacob Winstead)

Mike Ross
MikeRoss is another pro gamer with a documentary under his belt (named Focus). He is one of the most prolific and respected guys in the fighting game community and has adeptly managed to straddle the line between being a show host and player.
Juicebox Abel (Eric Albino)
Justin Wong
He’s one of the few pro-gamers who go by his real name, but being the best fighting game player in the US has made Justin Wong's name easy to remember. As a testament to his skills, there’s even a documentary about him called King of Chinatown.
