The best snooker channel on YT! O'Sullivan won this tournament on his B game. Scary!

[@Shrink51]

Absolutely True !!

[@roderickroderick7216]

Just adding a comment to move the spoiler down so it’s not ruined for people watching on their phone. 😢

[@amirshrestha9074]

thanks man 👊

[@tappedhider1553]

thank you 😊

[@78tag]

Very well edited. I have to admit I still FF through a lot of the non-Ronnie shots. I can't help it - I watch these to see O'Sullivan play. Very satisfying to see him winning.

[@gregorious123]

Brecels black double in the 18th frame was outrageous

[@synchc]

Like Cesar astutely pointed out, look at the expression on the ref's face. I can honestly say I can't remember a snooker ref's professional mask dropping like that before. A nice exception, a great match.

[@KD-xy8kq]

actually it was a fluke. he was trying hopeless safety shot.

[@ipfu7211]

​@@synchc😅

[@subtleknife1]

@@KD-xy8kqnah, he either played it two-ways or the whole way. It’s Brecel we’re talking about after all

[@BhaaskarDesai]

Had seen this one live. That last frame had me on an edge and almost game me a heart attack. Thank you Cesar~! :)

[@harrybaker6776]

It’s great to see Ronnie winning tournaments again, seems to love it in Shanghai. Thanks for the great edit as always Cesar!

[@jacklee-zi1tx]

What a nice smile and handshake from Luca! Thanks for making this video Cesar!

[@carlkamuti]

Absolutely insane final session!! That clearance from Ronnie to go 10-7 what crazy, I was getting real Alex Higgins vibes; and then Luca rising from the dead to bring it back to 10-9. What a way to start the season 👍👍

[@SereneMeerkat-wv6dh]

Wasn’t a clearance, he didn’t pot the black 😅

[@ju.snooker]

To most people Cesar is the ruler of Rome. For snooker fans Cesar is a GOAT of posting highlights of matches! Thanks again Cesar!

[@TWTFitipaldi]

facts!

[@bordercollie1140]

Couldn't agree more.

[@eamonnbyrne8400]

Delighted for Ronnie to get the win,I also think that Luca play's beautiful snooker,and Cesar make's brilliant video's with great editing.☘

[@Billy.Nomates]

I do know that Luca said he enjoys playing Ronnie as they're both attacking players. They all start out attacking everything,but soon realise it's not about that,it's about knowing when to attack

[@pyrrhicvictory6978]

Ronnie didn't play at his best in this tournament, but when he needed to step it up the most he did. 2-5 vs Higgins he was struggling then he makes a great steal from 0-58 and plays great from then on. Vs Selby 6-7 down makes another great steal/clearance from 0-66 down and plays great from then on. Vs Brecel it was nip and tuck and then Ronnie plays 3 amazing frames to take a 10-7 lead which won him the match. So overall Ronnie played great only in spurts, but he played great when it mattered the most and thats the most important thing.

[@johnnyseatree1310]

Oh wow. Thanks Cesar. I'm exhausted. That was one for the ages. Can't remember a more exciting enjoyable match ever.

[@synchc]

Cheers Ces. Great match. Great highlights, editing and commentating as always.

Same. But even more annoying is videos with give away titles!

[@robertwithington7594]

Excellent work.Thank you

[@johnl4469]

Love watching Ronnie. Thanks Cesar, great presentation mate.

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

The camera work is very interesting here -- they mainly use the raised view from one end of the table. This allows us to see most of the play -- in stark contrast to the way snooker is normally filmed. 0:53 is more like typical snooker camerawork: the ball being potted is zoomed in on, the white is ignored and there is a chop to the white once the ball is potted. This is well and good, but this pattern is also used when it's clear that the white is going on an interesting journey -- a canon has to be made, or avoided, a pocket dodged, a route found to the next ball. To me, the real art in snooker is not potting the balls -- it's positional play, i.e. getting to where the next ball is pottable, ideally easily. And this skill is largely ignored in coverage. Someone somewhere (who probably didn't even play snooker) has dictated that snooker is covered this way and it appears to be accepted without protest by everyone. We are used to it -- it started already in the seventies. @CesarMuroya with your influence, would you consider making a video showing up the flaws in this approach? Sure, if they have time, they often show a beautiful view of the path of the white -- but with fast players like O'Sullivan etc. they just don't have time for that beautiful replay. So why not show it properly first time round 😕 A frustrated snooker fan...

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Other weird stuff very commonly done in coverage: 1) cut to the crowd when the white is flying around the table e.g. when a century is made (why not split the screen, or do picture in picture?) 2) show a really slow replay and miss live play 3) use a really long/slow animated tournament logo before and after every replay -- again contributing to #2

[@timsullivan4566]

What an entertaining match and very scrappy conclusion! (Also well edited and worth a Like-n-Sub 👋 Thanks 👍)

terrific job Cesar

[@billmorash3322]

Your videos are truly beautiful. Please don't stop.

[@FloydMaxwell]

"The main reason for the kick is thought to be the presence of chalk between the 2 balls. This effectively increases the friction between the balls, causing them to travel slower and on a norrower (or thicker) path. The balls also tend to "jump" slightly when a kick occurs."

[@thelimey351]

The video editing on here is superb, thanks Cesar. 👏👏

Wow. That was amazing. Thank you.

Not many more exciting matchups than these two! Thanks Cesar, very enjoyable. Are you a skilled player yourself? You certainly have a very thorough understanding of the game.

[@BaldingEagle51]

Great stuff and yes. Especially this year Ronnie is turning down shots he'd normally go for. No holding back in this final though! Some of the best Snooker you'll see, and Brecel is the new talent!

[@davegadge1]

I live in Shanghai I might see if I can go and see a match!

[@Antonowskyfly]

I began watching one of the choppy, floppy versions shortly after the event so as to try to beat the spoiler (I lost that battle) and I had a good laugh when Ronnie fouled with the rest (I believe it was the first session). After the foul was called Peggy Li approached Ronnie to take the rest but looked like she was poised to escort him out of the arena the way she went after both the rest and his cue (with extension). I think she just wanted to get her mitts on The Rocket, and I don’t blame her, he’s quite a handsome bloke! Thank you for the upload Cesar!👍👍

[@iEnayath]

4:08 - Ronnie checking his own Feather 41:43 -The shot and next few minutes (Saqlain)

Yeah I watched it live (41:43) and I think this is one of the most beautiful centuries ever, despite the fluke, but it’s just brilliant

[@dougieroberts7045]

Its not the amount of 'attacking' or 'defending', its about when to do either, thats why OSullivan has been the man to beat for 30 years or so

[@Mk_GoR]

Do you know what God is？ God was once a human being！ It’s just that he did what no one can do!！ So...he became a God！ Ronnie O'Sullivan = God of the snooker！🥳😎👍🚀🔥

[@footbru]

Of all the channels for Snooker, Cesar does very well ... well edited. But why do we have to have edited games? I would greatly prefer to see the whole match. Puzzles me. If World Snooker wants people to watch Snooker, then they should post the games sometime after the event - would it in any way effect revenue for Pay providers if the match was officially posted on youtube - 48 hours, or 72 hours, or one week after the live event??

[@corkyandteresalight8258]

yes,he is a monster.

[@user-nh8kl5qr5q]

[@JCKAMK]

The potting in frame 17 was amazing. You youngsters may eventually see someone better but I won’t.

Brecel, not being a fan of practice, brings to mind Bo Jackson

[@Ben-my2rd]

The referee has such loud footsteps

[@dandobre5930]

who is Brecel?

[@BlakesPipes]

My best friend is Belgium 🇧🇪 and was all in on Luca when he won last season. But then he gained the weight and took time off of snooker, I saw Luca in an interview just weeks before this tournament and I said, he is lost and became what most people do when they get there first hall of fame win, the buy a expensive car and get out of shape. Hope is able to get back on track.

[@TheeCobra]

Ronnie is not the GOAT for nothing.

Luca is super-talented, but needs to work on his mental game because he's needlessly reckless at times.

I think Brecel will disappear in a few years, he has only way of playing and other will learn his weaknesses.

[@abdullahibrahimhassan7301]

Brecel is still very young and will get wiser as he ages, if he works on his safety game he can be a great player

[@allanb52]

@@abdullahibrahimhassan7301 He is 28 that is not young at all. Ronnie was 19 when he won the masters, Steve Davies, Steven Hendry and Mark Williams had all won a dozen of top titles at that age. Brecel has had one reasonable year, surprisingly winning the big one, but a history of only 5 very minor titles in his 11 years as a pro. Hardly an auspicious start, but who knows, he has been lucky so far.

I did not see a single shot from the Bald Guy... Not sure if it is only me, or others also do the same, but as soon as Ronnie goes back to his seat i push the forward button till he comes back at the table. No matter who is playing against him, i only like to watch Ronnie playing and no body else...
