[ENG] 2024 SSL AUTUMN | RO.8 M1 Barracks vs SnOw (Tastosis)

[@antilarge7860]

Ro8 being Bo7 is such a great change, Love it. I want to add in the Translations are fantastic as always.

[@issacb6124]

I feel it is overkill for ro8 and in SC1. Very rarely do we see Bo7 go all seven matches. I guess it guarantees an extra map.

[@misterkefir]

@@issacb6124 I think it's okay in this era to have ro8 be a bo7. The only change left to make and a much more important one would be to make ro24 the same format as ro16. Doubt that will ever happen though, which is a bummer.

[@2639theboss]

@@misterkefir That, or making the ro16 all BO3s. It feels like it's a little too easy to waltz into the ro8.

[@utarian7]

For TvTs they should keep it Bo5 (Bo1 if you ask me...)

[@misterkefir]

@@2639theboss I just think full bo1 ro24 is way too volatile, especially when considering that the qualification process is full bo3 in the first place. You qualify after 4 or 5 bo3 wins just to play two quick, cheesy bo1s and bomb out.. just makes no sense. Ro16 should be full bo3 I agree, just don't see them making that change anytime soon.. and I still think that changing ro24 to the same format as ro16 would be a more important one.

[@jesse1381]

Best of 7 is a significant improvement. Good to see SSL going strong. Nice work and great cast!

[@misterkefir]

Agreed. Only thing left is to make ro16 format the same as the ro24 format. I'm afraid they'll never do it, though.

[@sir0herrbatka]

Did you really need this many matches today? :P

[@Gwanzan3325]

@@jesse1381 too bad Barracks wasn't playing well enough for a longer series.

[@Zyzyx442]

Yeah love it, my favorite season was every round of 8 went to match 5, but that was a one time season, never happened before or since, so very happy R8 got turned up a notch

[@jesse1381]

@@Gwanzan3325 It's a PvT against Snow. Every comment section people are dumping on Barracks and the salt that he advanced over Bisu and Jaedong has been next level. The same Bisu who lost to Snow 0-3 last year and the same Jaedong who hasn't won a playoff game in nearly 8 years. Most other Terrans even the top 5 would have lost to Snow with a similar score

[@belasstrongestwarrior]

1 hour and 30 mins for a best of 7? Surely nothing one sided happened in this match

I love the translations on the breaks. It’s nice to get some of the players personalities. Great cast gentlemen!

[@priestholmes8931]

I cant believe in game 4 after killing THE first reaver and clearing his base, Barracks just ran by the robo tech to counter instead of taking it down.

[@kathorsees]

yeah, felt like a bit of a throw. maybe it was nerves? maybe he got a bit too fancy - he re-laid the mines there and thought it would be enough to kill the second reaver as well?

[@Artharas]

It was insane throw, surely you know that especially against Snow, he will be able to pick up the reaver before the mines kill it. Just kill the pylon and you can do pretty much whatever you like, you are in such a dominating position with half his production unpowered

[@kathorsees]

@@Artharas he did lose the first reaver though, so mb Barracks thought it'd work again?

[@inguh7041]

@@Artharas he did kill the pylon, right? Snow remade it tho

[@BroodWar4Ever]

He was definitely nervous. When under pressure you tend to do moves that are counter intuitive

I'm really excited for Ro8's being BO7. I think it's a fantastic change, RO8 and beyond have always felt like very short days. Looking forward to lots of great matches! :D

[@Yamulo]

It gives me hope that one day the ro24 won't be 2 bo1s.

[@HTSGOSU]

​@@Materialist39there is a very easy way to spoiler block, you put Y minutes of empty video or ads at the end ... they just refuse to do it ... for 25 years.

[@SquallLionhart409]

@@HTSGOSU You can blame youtube for it as well, any video in which someone watches say, half of it, gets deprioritized for recommendations. It's always been a metric for a failing video. It's also bad for the backend, where wasting bandwidth is a problem. This isn't quite as relevant now, but has been a problem for most of the history of BW. If you really want to spoiler block, there are browser extensions that will do it for you. YOU just refusing to take proactive action to solve something that annoys you is on you.

[@1lomi901]

Damn, I love Barracks early style. But when a top 10 match up a top 30, you can feel the difference

[@skykur]

You mean the greatest PvT toss of all time*

[@disiesgroto1881]

I feel like it’s also the pressure of the history between them beating Barracks down. Snow has a 90% Win Rate against him specifically, after playing 29 games - 24 before this series - and that’s going to be hard not to let rent free living in your head. You can tell how much it impacts his mentality not only on the decision making in game itself, but also in the interview where when he’s asked “Who do you want to play against in the RO8” he doesn’t even name anyone, just saying “Anyone other than Snow.”

[@ShirpaTheShirpa]

Translating those interviews between games was much appreciated!

i kinda wish i had waited to watch until tastosis posted, but i was too excited and watched on the starcraft cast channel already

[@EB-bl6cc]

yeah they are QUICK with the upload, sometimes as much as 2 days before this. I always wait because this is generally a better cast but I can understand the temptation

[@pontussamuelsson4003]

Pure chills!! 2 questions. Will there be one upload per day now? Can you put like 3 hours on these videos to not spoil the outcome once its no time for a turnaround?

[@disiesgroto1881]

Tastosis don’t control the upload, SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) do, so they can’t pad it themselves. SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) isn’t going to pad because if people don’t watch the whole video the KZbin Recommendation Algorithm will deem it to be ‘subpar’ or ‘low quality’, and stop recommending the video to other people. If a channel has enough ‘subpar’ videos it will stop getting recommended altogether, and may even stop showing up in search results altogether, so it’s super bad for the channel.
