I've been playing more csgo lately, but I'm having trouble with some of the maps since I don't play all of them on a regular basis. I find it easiest for me to learn map layouts and location names and stuff by just watching streams (since I don't like pubbing), but I don't know anything about invite cs to know who a good high-level streamer would be.
Is/are there good csgo streams anyone would recommend, preferably from someone who's also affiliated with the tf2 community?

There really isnt your Day[9] of csgo. I'd start by watching the tournaments by checking the top viewed csgo streams on twitch. Then realize "hey I remember that guys name" and watch those streams. Or check out their demos on esea.

That's adreN's youtube channel. It's constantly updated with extremely useful stuff from settings, movement, spraying, spam spots, taking sites, defending sites, useful flashbangs/smokes/molotovs, and match comms.
I like watching Summit1G and NosleepTV. More so for entertainment, but Summit throws out some nice game knowledge a bunch.

He makes an effort to try to help people improve instead of just MMing or pugging. I believe he main calls for his teams and takes an input lag hit from streaming matches to use as a teaching tool later. It's really too bad there is only one player as good as adren doing that sort of stuff. He's the real deal.
@huhy, how could you not add WarOwl's stream to the list?
He streams reasonably often, and offers very useful/helpful tips while matchmaking or ESEA pugging. Not to mention he's just very enjoyable to watch/listen to. And when the CEVO season was active, the CEVO streams were very helpful to watch too. But yeah, besides that, excellent list.
And TheJester, another thing that helped me a lot to get into CS:GO was watching commentary's, since positioning is so important in this game. If you check the streams list often enough, you should be able to watch tournaments and matches being cast, but for more "whenever you want to watch" type of stuff and in-depth explanations, WarOwl's YouTube channel is really helpful.

I know, it looks like I'm advertising this guy, but seriously, his channel is pretty neat.
Hope I contributed~!
Steel is pretty entertaining/ skilled. Twitch.tv/steel_tv
He also plays for ibp
f0rest and n0thing's streams are usually entertaining. Both of them are genuinely funny dudes. Swag and Semphis are fun to watch when they do 10 mans. The drama that comes within the 10 mans is usually ridiculous.

Are all of these in English? As a cs noob, it's cool to find that best in the world often don't speak English, but I can't watch their streams.
