DotA is often commentated by two people, one with deep inside knowledge and one who can do play by play.
The guy screaming is the play by play guy, tobi wan kenobi who tends to be... very enthusiastic and hyped. The other guy is a professional player himself, named synderen, which is why that video was probably educating, since he can provide actual insight, those two combined are what people tend to see as one of the better duos since it has the hype from tobi and the good insight from synderen.
And i forgot to mention, some tournaments can be found for free within the client, the latest one was the Dreamhack Dota 2 corsair vengeance cup.
All the replays for that can be found ingame by going into the watch tab, then into tournaments and then looking for it in the list. It'll have the full games, you'll have control of what you want to see and when you want to see it and from what perspective and you can even see player perspective(see how the 'best' control and move their hero and camera). It also includes commentary, the last two games had really bad mic quality for the ingame commentary though, sadly. But i imagine being able to watch it in the ingame client might help you, since you can pause and see what a hero does, what the item does and so on
And as said, if we get som SPers together i'd be more than glad to play with you guys over on the US servers.
And new hex0r video for those interested:
