It’s 2024 and they’re still making banger games like Mini vs Barracks Damn it feels good to be a Starcraft fan

[@yyyy-uv3po]

SC is literally an infinite fun machine.

[@n1te]

And it feels like that level of game was never seen before. I've never seen that level of micro. Dude was regularly going for intentionally exploding mines using a DT out of a shuttle... the level of confidence in your skill that requires... Honestly I felt like watching Neo taking on the agents in the Matrix... :))

yeah, these writers wrote a great script for that game.

[@EagleInFlames]

Mini absolutely CLOWNING on these terrans. Game 1 vs Barracks will go down an as iconic game for sure. Some of the craziest micro Ive ever seen.

[@JonTietz]

That 92/92 supply block by Royal in the last game.... Yikes.

[@stonesec]

the mini/barracks game is legendary, holy crap. it just kept going!

[@Dartht33bagger]

All of the Mini games were great.

[@guysupreme]

That barracks vs mini game must be top 3 best ASL games ever played. Seriously worth watching just for that single game. 10/10 incredible

[@chrisbarrieau4167]

Agreed, that was amazing.

[@blazedas4451]

one of the reasons I prefer watching sc1 to sc2, if someone takes that much economic damage is sc2 they would quit instantly l, but even though he lost there was a chance to draw there with insane micro, so exciting

[@SmokerFace12]

Possibly the closest thats for sure. Jaedong vs Larva on transistor comes to mind, but these sort of games are more common in ZvZ Greatest ASL game might be Snow's comeback vs Free(s10 ro.16), wich is Ironic, PvP being the least interesting match up to watch for most people

[@EB-bl6cc]

@@SmokerFace12 I prefer PvP to ZvZ but yeah, both are definitely inferior to the non-mirrors and TvT

[@SmokerFace12]

@@EB-bl6cc yeah they usually just end in a 'who will win the early midgame fight' and then 1 ggs

Thx for casting Tastosis and the great translator Doctor. For more than two decades, this game is still evolving. I'm so happy to see this and feel the vitality of the game.

[@masterpeace1647]

Guys please appreciate Tastosis at their prime from 2:23:42-2:34:24. Sometimes they are not only casters, but our friends. A cool nerdy buddy you laught at some geek stuff 6 beers in. Cheers to my guys and their wonderful impact on this community.

That first game my goodness. One of the closest TvP's EVER.

[@nifarious]

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

[@richardnguyen2914]

Mini killing a pretty sizable Terran army with a DT, probe, shuttle, observer and goon was insane. It was like naw, I don't need quantity I got micro coming out of my pores. His reaver play was insane today as well, looking like Snow level. Maybe not quite as good in micro (though apparently he dodges 95% of mines) but his decision making was on point. Love the Nexus on 12 holds with DT followups

[@amai2307]

Would be easy win, if he had a bit better micro. Like more stable shuttle mine detonate - faster killing an army - more leeway to scout earlier.

[@trickm0nkey]

Mini is good he's just treating ASL like an Impossible UMS game lol

[@utarian7]

Lmao what planet are you on. His micro was insane, and it was an extremely difficult game to win, and he did the stuff you mentioned.@@amai2307

[@andrewferguson6901]

Most brood war moment of all time

[@stephentimothybennett]

Mini plays some of the coolest starcraft in the game. Such insane games, best I've seen since we saw ZvZ ultras in the last ASL.

[@fingon8919]

I remember that game where he wins thanks to a Flying Banana (scout)

[@mf-il4po]

What a crazy first game! A shuttle, a dt, a dragoon, a probe, and a dream

[@HamletTwin]

16:37 Game 1 Mini vs Barracks will go down as one of the greatest matches in ASL history. Holy cow what a nail-biter!

[@chaddt]

Bo1 format brings out some crazy games

[@LukesBlenderChannel]

Marines in front, Vultures in the back, the dreaded Mullet Build. How do you counter such a devious power? The Invisible Barber Shop. What a game.

[@drewwalbeck6006]

Poor Barracks, he always looks like he's waiting for the green light to parachute out of an airplane into a combat zone

[@Sabu113]

Took you long enough!

[@SmokerFace12]

Been a fan of him since he told effort he was gonna zealot rush him in pre interview and then won the first 2 games by zealot rushing him. Season 7 I think

This is a series of crazy matches. It was so good that I will watch it again after my heart rate slows down from excitement.

[@LuichoX203]

that first game was SO good

[@JPR3D]

Damn, it's been a long time since I was shouting at the screen. Right there with you Arty. We have all won ASL by witnessing that game.

[@daans8086]

Barracks v Mini . Unbelievable the point where both players just weren't mining + dt shuttles.

[@Aubee89]

Thank you all again for continue to do this for all of us! ASL & Tastosis forever!

1st game was really something else. Although he lost, you can really tell a lot by HOW he loses. Championship material

damn the Mini + Barracks slugfest lol. GG

[@TRYCLOPS1]

An this ro16 really made me appreciate Hero a lot more. He was always a scary player back in the day when he was young by damn, maturity can bring a level a bit higher. He seems pretty calm internally which helped him focus I suppose. But ro8 is looking so scary. Mini is a danger for sure man… like I’m new to the ASL as I just started getting back into this scene after last OSL like 12 years ago. This is awesome to watch. Thanks for the cast and for the translation work!

Normally, the player with the more interesting/diverse playstyle is, in my head, the protagonist. Usually that is Royal in his games and Mini in his games. Today I found out that for me, Mini is the ultimate protagonist. This movie is about him.
