Dow2live.com

One website I've been visiting a lot recently is Dow2live.com. It broadcasts live and recorded classic games of Dawn of War 2 often complete with commentator or spectating referee. This not only makes these videos interesting and exciting to watch - especially when two real pros face off - but you can also learn a hell of a lot from it. Instead of simply watching your own replays of that Rank 60 destroying you, you're now able to watch similar videos with full narration.

Now not every game shown on the channel is fantastic, there are a few duds, the commentator isn't always spot on and there are occasional technical difficulties; but these are rare. Personally I've picked up several strategies from there that I've found incredibly useful, including: "gen bashing", the attacking of an opposing player’s generator instead of capping the point, the use of mek boys electric armour, which squads are good to blob and which ones are better spread out etc.

You can also learn what units are effective at what; often seeing a strategy from a player fail miserably will save you from trying something similar yourself in a rated game.

Some people may argue that computer games are made to be played, not watched. I'd assume people may have said the same about all sports at some point.

DoW2Live.com is a great place to pick up strategies and tips for Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 2; I highly recommend checking it out.
