Just love Royal personaility. He is so talkative for a Korean pro-gamer and seems to be so authentic. The bit where he says he wouldn't risk facing Mini if he could (due his terrible retrospective) was hilarious.
It’s dead, this came up in me feed.. couldn’t believe there is a tournament for this game in this day and age.. pretty lame if you ask me.. put it in a meusam
It really feels like the players react to the audiences "oooohhhh" sounds. Soulkey with his magic wand for finding that factory felt more like playing Hot or Cold with the audience.
54:24 Absolutely correct. The SCV's attack is classified as "ranged," even though it is shorter than most melee attacks at just 10 px (cf. 32 px for probe or drone, 25 px for ultra, 15 px for zergling, zealot, or DT, 10 px for SCV or spider mine, 3 px for scourge or infested terran, 2 px for broodling). FWIW, doing a "moving attack" with an SCV is not strictly impossible, but it is only marginally useful. It actually works the same way for SCVs as it does for drones and probes, but because their range is so short, it's harder to perform and only minimally effective. SCVs do attack with a lower cooldown than drones and probes to make up for this disadvantage, but that never comes into play in micro battles.
I'm more of a SC2/GSL viewer but man, this is one of if not the best Bo7 series I have ever seen. Trading blows, trading wins, with no one gaining a clear lead over the other until the very last moments of the final game. Plus it's in the semi finals where the stakes are almost as high as it could get. This series is truly a spectacle.
this gave me literal chills... such emotion and proper quality play. i just love starcraft... keep up the amazing casts you 2 and thank you for ASL english. if i´m able to save up some money, i´ll support you guys right away at patreon. thank you for this. i nearly cried as he did. and big shoutout to soulkey aswell. what an amazing last stand... this battle was like a movie. 20 times better than netflix. thank you all ;)
this is an uphill battle for both players from start to finish... this is one of those few moments in ASL where you don't really know who's going to win... both players really pull out every tricks up their sleeves, every ounce of micro, every squeeze of their mineral and gas... kudos to both!!! I really enjoy watching them... this is PvZ on the highest level game played...
*** SPOILERS *** That was the Best Bo7 I have ever watched. That last game was from another dimension. We went through a wormhole and landed somewhere truly special. Unbelievable.
Probably not so much hear as feel. You can soundproof all you like, you cant prevent the vibrations going through the floor as a room full of mad excited huge breasted groupies goes apeshit for a hype moment.
@@bunnieskitties293 seriously there have been some Korean QTs this ASL. Check the RO8 where Bisu went down....Soulkey went home with the win but Bisu went home with the ladies.
i'm not negative, i'm only remotely objective. it is possible to acknowledge both negatives and positives, you see 1:21:03; 2:16:05 for some peak Useless Dxracer
@@cl8804 i don't talk to sad people i just hope they get better that is some hyper critical comments and only someone who is upset would go out of there way to point that out. most people don't even know what dxracer is nor do we care. why don't you cast the games o wait your a sad person and no one would watch you. like i said i hope your life gets better soon!
This was a Bo7 of the ages. Man I am so impressed by Royal's tenacity. Spoiler: In 3 of his won games I for sure thought he had lost, but somehow he just made it seem like he was never behind at all. But damn Soulkey deserved to win the Bo7 too. Especially looking at that last game
A back-and-forth nail-biter all the way to the 7th match. with both players giving absolutely everything at their disposal. I think this is my personal favourite series of all time.
Epic match but it's crazy how late this came out. The finals are already done! I was sick of waiting (especially because I was a paying patron supporter), so I watched it from StarCastTV instead. I love Tastosis though and I hope they can get it together for next season
Practice patience. Don’t support them excepting something in return, but be grateful when the video is uploaded. Also english cast is barely enjoyable with tasteless saying random shit and repeating himself over artosis trying to actually explain what’s technically happening. May as well put some music and mute the video.
SCV's having 0 range attack is true. I believe there is a time when Artosis was missing hits because his SCV was technically firing up a ramp. That was a great rage moment lol
It seems like every season there's a game that I want to say is the best I've ever seen....but DAMN if that last game between these two wasn't the best ever!
7th game is the game of the ASL so far. Unbelievable from both sides, and the builds they used were fire. Hope Zerg wins the other bracket so we have a TvZ finals for the ages.
One of the greatest series even though getting the finalist spoiled by some random person on previous matchup. I guess by next season need not to watch any comment under video that despite being watched
Those firebats have impressive indirect effects late-game. Did you notice near the very end, that firebat peel off to chase away the critical defiler? Gained like 10 seconds to lay extra punishment on that final expansion.
I'm just a few minutes in but as a competitive person, I appreciate Soulkey telling Royal 7 minutes into it, listen, you haven't given me a reason to worry, buddy. I like both these guys and was not expecting that!
love the trash talking between royal and soulkey, the announcer guy was having an easy time stirring up the drama because they were both ready to start talking trash lol
Not entirely sure how the public's reaction is affecting the players themselves... In the case with the hidden factory - do the players hear the noise the public is making? In my mind it may turn out to be a tell when there is something hidden and you're about to discover as a player...
Btw, I'm pretty sure glaives have a pattern of what direction they bounce based off the angle of attack or something.. I can't find it now but there was a thread on tl at one point.
I came back more then a week later and suddenly i relise there i no f-in time stamp guy ... we where 2 amazed by the game for a time stamp guy to show himself aparently sooo... also Might wanna turn down the volume if your a headphone user like me Tastetosis - @12:22 Game 1 - @21:18 Game 2 - @52:06 Game 3 - @1:10:18 Game 4 - @1:31:52 Game 5 - @1:51:44 Game 6 - @2:14:39 Game 7 - @2:36:19 Enjoy!
That last round Royal did so much mistakes but because he had more base mining he was able to power produce units constantly to keep zerg at bay... Holy crap... great game
Yeah, Royal left a few hatcheries alive that could/should have been killed, and seemed a bit careless with his science vessels at times. But Royal was also controlling three or four army groups at the same time in different parts of the map. Soulkey seem to have better unit control, but I don't think his multitasking was quite as good as Royal. Either way, great series!
Great games, but I can't help but think the audience gave out the proxy rush at 1:55:25 To me it's obvious he heard gasps from the crowd and scouted more thoroughly after. You can see him scout the little blocked ramp, wait, then go back and his screen hesitates on the proxy location for a bit. I love Starcraft but let's not pretend players can't hear the crowd. "Noise cancelling headphones" work up to a point, but a crowd produces vibrations you can just feel, even a deaf person could "hear" a crowd. Anyways, great series.
Holy shit what a series. Can't think of any better bo7. Maybe Effort vs Flash finals is up there but man. So much back and forth, pushed to their limits. Great games!
Big congratulations to Royal for winning this series against the best iteration of Soulkey the ASL has seen in a loooong time. This is the kind of ASL I've been missing when Flash was winning everything, now it's really great again!!! I kind of hope/wish Flash doesn't return after his military service is over if it means we get to watch this level of play more regularly.
It was an incredible series. I loved it end-to-end. I wonder, though, in the last match, why Soulkey wouldn't bring the drones at the natural to his base when 4 marines came in. If he had maybe the damage could have been less. Can anyone explain the possible rationale behind Soulkey's decision there?

They absolutely can hear/feel the crowd to some extent.

the last game was incredible
This was, in the words of Tasteless, 'one for the gamers'. One of the best ever. GG
Great game, only equalled by your commentary. Really love the synergy between you guys. You guys are the main reason why I watch ASL.
Excellent match, casted by the best in the business.

I have, this was right up there.
This was such a a great series, I’ve been rooting for Royal for a while and it’s so good to seem him get so far this ASL season
This is one of those sets that’ll go down in history. Wow. I’ll be rewatching this years from now.
The level of play is crazy. ASL never disappoints
that was the best game of SC1 Ive ever seen that wasn't a historical match. Literally the greatest match IVe ever seen! wow
Amazing series. Such solid play by Royal throughout. SoulKey had great moments and so often salvaged things beautifully.
The whole series is amazing! But that last game... that last game is the reason why I'm watching BroodWar for 16+ years
best game of broodwar I've seen in forever, and best falling out of chair scene I've ever seen lmao

the entire series, and especially the last game, live up to the moniker of "nail-biting"
2022 Broodwar keeps delivering. This serie was one for the history books.
These matches were amazing, simply amazing, but jeez in the early game it feels as if terran can do almost anything and kill zerg lol
This has to be one of those legendary series
I don't know if I'm more surprised by the outstanding quality of the games or by the fact that the Terran music did not play in not a single match.
LETS GO. What a SERIES!!!
I was cheering for SK, but watching how Royal played and his emotions after game 7 I feel so much for Royal in the end. Go Royal you deserve that!
