Just finished the first game, Speed vs. Snow. Holy crap, that was incredible! I truly thought Speed had zero chance after Snow's first reaver drop. Even ten minutes later, I still thought it was hopeless for Speed, and I'm pretty sure Tastosis thought so too. For him to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, even *I* was getting chills.
Speed proved two major innovations for Terran: You must have religious Turret placement to prevent devastating drops from Reavers or HT and Obs. Gols have to push with army to push shuttles away and Gols at 3rd/4th are best defense vs HT drops. Truly impeccable macro play from Speed. Hope this affects the rest of the Terrans this season. His vulture harassment was so effective because he consistently either delivered damage or instantly pulled back to mitigate damage and get maximum value from mines. Truly a Class S performance. 👍
3:57:11 is when Speed throws that last game versus snow, pushes out across the bridge for no reason with all his goliaths and tanks clumped, he is on 4 bases, he should of waited for more supply and 2/1 to push and end. He still had time before carriers came out, but he jumped the gun and paid the price for it.
ngl speed played a better game than snow even tho speed lost the game. compared to rain, it's quite clear that snow's indecisiveness is one of his biggest issues
@@JoshDragRace0688 yeah that was nearly a won game, he started feeling the victory I think and just got overexcited and wanted to end it. Patience young padawan
Everyone talking about how good a game it was but Snow absolutely THREW that first game. He secured a massive lead with all the SCV kills but failed to kill the armory with the dt's, and then proceeds to half-heartedly tech arbs to carriers AND takes a fourth. All this achieved was allowing Speed to secure his position, obtain a third and continue upgrades. Major strategic fail from Snow.
The closest feeling i ever got to opening a christmas gift as a kid is seeing a brand new SSL upload. Just pure undeserved joy that you dont know what's inside but know it's gona something that you like. And you are ready to unwrap.
you hit me right in the feels, my dude. such a wholesome comment! I'm happy for you. also, everyone deserves joy, no matter what. just because. it's bad when living things suffer. it's good when living things are having a good time. I'd totally buy you a christmas gift, in october, for no reason whatsoever. ❤
3:59:52 This isn't a joke. You can actually make your reavers shoot faster by picking them up and quickly dropping them again. When you drop a reaver out of a shuttle, its main order timer is set to 30. But reavers normally have a cooldown of 60. So if a reaver shoots, and you immediately pick it up and drop it, you can cut its remaining cooldown down to 30 in just a few frames. The reason is a bit of code that resets cooldowns for units that get dropped out of transports. This originally only worked for units with normal weapon cooldowns, so people complained about reaver and storm drops. Blizzard patched it to set the spell cooldown and (for reavers only) the main order timer to 30. But this opened up another (admittedly much more difficult) avenue for exploitation that you see here.
I'm wrapping things up for the night just as this video uploads and I already know tomorrow is going to be a great day because we've got a fresh batch of Tastosis SSL coverage! Now having watched, Speed is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. His style is so active, his name suits him. He played out of his mind for this series.
Okay, finally finished the whole thing. Count me in as a huge fan of Speed; he's innovative, fun to watch, and his vulture tactics are outstanding. Based on what he demonstrated here, his future is very bright. I wish he could have made Ro8, but I gotta admit Snow earned his victories.
Game 1 of of the last match might be the best brood war game ive ever seen. Even after that other game a player in this same match came back on (trying to avoid spoilers)
Yeah does seem like he's one of the only ones that does that. In the middle of a large fight he'll just run up and lay them in the opponent's face. Yeah you lose a volley or two from the vultures but then the enemy units have to move or shoot the mines so they're losing volleys, and their volleys are probably worth more than vultures' volleys. Does make a lot of sense. He is one of the only guys whose APM stays at 440-450 the whole game, so I'm guessing not all terrans can pull this style off. Was funny seeing Snow hover around 290-320 and him being at 440-450 most of their series. Guy lives up to his name
Not only Speed (formerly known as Sexy) already earned my respect when he put himself into the group of death and didn't shy away to face his nemesis SnOw, but with what he showed on this round he became my favorite terran. Those were the scariest pushes I saw in a long time, excellent micro and multitasking, vulture harass on par with Sharp or FlaSh. Pity he lost winners and losers to carriers, if only he had prepared to face them he could have crushed this group. But I believe he will be back next season!
Chilling Damn my boi Speed played his heart out man :( deff got a new fan after today really exciting games if he keeps grinding hard i think he can make it to the very top!! Rain looked very clean in all the games and Snow is ofc a crazy good player but looked abit shaken today maybe he thought the speed matchup would be a cake-walk. GGs
Speed got my interest during the Ro16 picks with his comments, and while I was worried while watching some of his other games, I'm really happy to see how well he performed today against what are essentially the best Protoss players we currently have. Seriously looking forward to seeing more of him in future SSLs.
Speed played this series so insane new fan. Name is appropriate, still near 500 apm in the 37 min game all throughout. Snow just making some good decisions from experience. Well played by both, but I don't think I can remember the last time I've seen someone get into ro16 for their first time and has impressed me this much. Looking forward to seeing Speed playing in more tournaments in the future.
Mind blowing we got the meta advance on the spot. Snow placing Reaver's on strategic places and forgetting about the shuttle and speed just don't caring about the reavers and just pushing hard when he had the advantage.
Daaamn. Speed had that last game until he moved out right around when Snow had 3-6 carriers and lost like 12 tanks for free. Speed really showing up, hope he continues to age like a fine wine. That being said, Snow has had some pretty bad results in quite a few of the recent SSL's so nice to see him finally show up. GGs
These group placements are absolutely crazy.. Speed winning against snow was so unexpected, and things just kind of snowballed from there. This group got turned on its head
Tastosis and the SSL observer both missed that Snow never rebuilt the assimilator at 12 oclock in the epic game 1 of the rematch series. That's why he was so low on gas and had to swap back to reavers from his templar, he simply never realized he was down a gas

Delusions of Grandeur the comment. Here have my updoot!
@QuixoticOdyssey I will totally ride in a musk mobile to Mars and watch some SSL with you
I must say, i really enjoy watching Speed, his games are all action from start to finish
Yeah...my new fav PvT player
Definitely similar to Sharp, just being annoying as hell with vultures from start to finish
Speed makes terran fun, I agree
If his Vultures stop moving the bomb in his chair explodes
Speed has upgraded from ‘10 mins flash’ to at least ‘20 mins flash’😂
That extra 10 min is a big deal! Just around your average game time!
As the average game length in ASL is about 12 minutes, that makes all the difference.
After seeing what Snow does to Artosis it was very impressive to see Speed play :)
Just finished the first game, Speed vs. Snow. Holy crap, that was incredible! I truly thought Speed had zero chance after Snow's first reaver drop. Even ten minutes later, I still thought it was hopeless for Speed, and I'm pretty sure Tastosis thought so too. For him to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, even *I* was getting chills.
Every Speed vs Snow game was good honestly
@@helloken yup. super unexpected!
speed's agro plays are so spicy im getting chilis 🌶
sweaty chills, ah yes
ASL: Stops supporting broadcast in english
Also ASL: Makes new theme song in english
probably generated with Suno, ai song maker. a good touch though.
@@Yusuf-ok5rk Yeah, definitely created by the AI. After a while you get the natural feeling how AI music sounds like.
Welcome to Asia. Where we pretend we don't speak English while also making everything in English.
all the songs they used for this seasons are completely awful
Also ASL: S O O P
Decider match, game 1 was one of the sickest of the tournament so far. Damn, that was entertaining.
Overall a great day of Brood War. Thanks!

I think he just get fucked by the pathing, he was just trying to move to his expansion with those tanks.
ngl speed played a better game than snow even tho speed lost the game. compared to rain, it's quite clear that snow's indecisiveness is one of his biggest issues
Truly S class performance? Did you watch the 1st game? I was wondering if he's disabled.
@@JoshDragRace0688 yeah that was nearly a won game, he started feeling the victory I think and just got overexcited and wanted to end it. Patience young padawan
Why does the thumbnail look like they are both mourning the loss of someone close.
Yeah they look like they are trying to find heroin
mourning*
Maybe a new thumbnail meta, instead of acting surprised with mouth open, you act sad like someone just passed away.
*mourning
We're all mourning the losses from group B
Ah.. this explains the sudden change in tempature.
C H I L L S
I just got shills from this comment alone
were the chills by.Rain or by.SnOw ...? ☃
The fever had me chills.
Everyone talking about how good a game it was but Snow absolutely THREW that first game.

All this achieved was allowing Speed to secure his position, obtain a third and continue upgrades. Major strategic fail from Snow.
yeah that was rough, that was a completely won game and he just let off the gas for no reason
Snow looked really sloppy today honestly. So many micro mistakes we're not used to seeing from him. He lost so many reavers in game 2.

^this and the fact that Protoss doesn't win ASL/SSL every season just further proves that Protoss players are apes 😂
Speed vs SnOw is the most entertaining series I've watched in a long time.
All 4 games.
I'm wrapping things up for the night just as this video uploads and I already know tomorrow is going to be a great day because we've got a fresh batch of Tastosis SSL coverage!
Now having watched, Speed is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. His style is so active, his name suits him. He played out of his mind for this series.
Sleep well king
Listening to old musted Tastosis is great, and I look forward to sampling the soured 2040 vintage when the time comes.
Is it late at night, and my heating's broken? No, I just got chills from Tastosis commentary of Group C coming out!
Take care, or you will develop fever.
Okay, finally finished the whole thing. Count me in as a huge fan of Speed; he's innovative, fun to watch, and his vulture tactics are outstanding. Based on what he demonstrated here, his future is very bright. I wish he could have made Ro8, but I gotta admit Snow earned his victories.
Really needed a win today, happy to see this
Stay strong King
You're great, man!
Things will improve take care!🎉
Snow vs Speed was some of the best PvT I've ever watched ! And I've been into this game for 20+ years.
Did Artosis get chills during these games? Yes. Yes he did
CHILLS
I GOT THE CHILLS TOO!
The spoilers!!!
Snow vs. Speed was absolutely top-quality insanity.
Game 1 of of the last match might be the best brood war game ive ever seen. Even after that other game a player in this same match came back on (trying to avoid spoilers)
Game 1 was an absolute banger of a game.
one of the best PvTs ever
Was just about to fall asleep and than tastosis vod poped up on my notification. Now its 4am and i have no regrets ❤
It feels like Speed has the best offensive mine game. The way he aggressively lays mines and zones with them is nuts
Yeah does seem like he's one of the only ones that does that. In the middle of a large fight he'll just run up and lay them in the opponent's face. Yeah you lose a volley or two from the vultures but then the enemy units have to move or shoot the mines so they're losing volleys, and their volleys are probably worth more than vultures' volleys.

absolutely super impressed by Speed, what a performance!

You're a moron for posting spoilers in the comments. Next time consider other viewers and make your comment more ambiguous.
I love these videos. I watch and listen to them to fall asleep. Very grateful. Thank-you

2:02:30 holy moly that dragoon micro to spread them and reduce the splash damage. VERY smart!
pre-chilled and ready to go
Finally the best race PROTOSS gets some games!
That first game of the last match was the craziest, best SC1 game I've ever seen, hands down.
Of course there's chills when there's Rain and Snow in the same place!
Love these! thanks for keeping starcraft alive
that first game was insane!!! holy shit
Such a fast release. I LOVE IT
Waking up and seeing the upload! Life is good 🎉🎉😃
Speed got my interest during the Ro16 picks with his comments, and while I was worried while watching some of his other games, I'm really happy to see how well he performed today against what are essentially the best Protoss players we currently have.

That speed win was phenomenal!!
Speed... what a player! And Snow... his micro is unreal.
Get back from an evening walk with snacks and what do I see? Group C of the SSL? Yes please!
Clicks video. Sees over 4 hours length. Oh yeah, its NOT all TvT?
Fuck. Yes.
The first and final game in this group were crazy.
Speed is a beast. Imagine going to game three against Snow! Incredible performance.
A pleasure to watch Speed play, new fan here for sure!
Mind blowing we got the meta advance on the spot. Snow placing Reaver's on strategic places and forgetting about the shuttle and speed just don't caring about the reavers and just pushing hard when he had the advantage.
That was some immaculate recovery from Snow, he looked so dead at one point
speeds play was really impressive this ro16, was a joy to watch
a blessed evening
Incredible...absolutly INCREDIBLE. 😮😱😱😱
Speed's play was absolutely inspiring!
very cool games. Absolutely chilling performances by the players. It's just a bit sad that Mini froze like that vs Snow
😢
Incredible day of Broodwar! Thanks for everything you guys do!
The matches between Snow and Speed were real nail biters.
Such an awesome group! Didn't think I'd ever be rooting for the terran, when Snow is playing, but well, here we are...!
Holy cow. Speed was waaaaaayyyyy better then expected. Awesome games!
That first speed v snow game was one of the best I’ve ever seen
You are doing this to me right now? WAIT THANKS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My Life Will Never be the Same after This
This was a crazy group of death. Those two games in the loser match was brutal to watch.
I'm actually getting some chills right now.
Snow vs Speed was fucking incredible, Snow got too cocky and tried to style on him
Its called match fixing.
The final matches have been wonderful.
Dude Snow vs Speed... some of the best sc ive seen in my life
Speed was amazing!!! Incredible!
Snow vs speed is a series im going to watch multiple times. speed is insane
Speed vs Snow will go down as an all time great match 👏🏻
2 hours and 45 minutes into it and its the final and there's still an hour and a half left in the vod??? im in for a crazy finale
Speed gets 'Rookie of the Year' award after this play. (Yes, yes, I know he's played for long Mr. Smarty-pants.) This is a break out performance
Thought this was gonna be the least fun group to watch, glad I was proven wrong. What a fucking BANGER from start to finish!
dude the segment with Snow and JYJ where they have to communicate units and abillitys is hilarious
Artosis and tasteless together again???????? wow that´s crazy
incredible again guys, i know you arent playing but always such a good time
Rain looks like an asian Spock 🖖
Daaamn. Speed had that last game until he moved out right around when Snow had 3-6 carriers and lost like 12 tanks for free.
Speed really showing up, hope he continues to age like a fine wine.
That being said, Snow has had some pretty bad results in quite a few of the recent SSL's so nice to see him finally show up.
GGs
The chills were actually super warranted after Game 1.
Man what a great group of matches
Game 1 is one of the absolute best games I have seen in 20 years watching competitive Starcraft
Great games by Speed. Hope to see him again in next season.
These group placements are absolutely crazy.. Speed winning against snow was so unexpected, and things just kind of snowballed from there. This group got turned on its head
Speed is the man. No guts, no glory. He got the glory.
Amazing games this group! I love Snow but he’s looking very mortal. Great to see speed play so well.
I don't remember the last time a 35+ minute game was still a toss up in my mind for me.
That reaver with 20 kills gave me the sweats
Artosis: "At the top of the world, carrier timings are pretty clear." Speed: *unsieges all tanks*
That Snow vs Speed game was crazy omg
those last 3 games were crazy good!
Hell, It's about time.
Sc1 comebacks are something else man
I'm shocked about what happened in the first game. Giant kudos to Speed!
Love the powermetal followed by SC OST, so good.
Tastosis and the SSL observer both missed that Snow never rebuilt the assimilator at 12 oclock in the epic game 1 of the rematch series. That's why he was so low on gas and had to swap back to reavers from his templar, he simply never realized he was down a gas
One big chill coming right up sir
Great games from Speed. I hope to see more from him in Artosiscasts.
Speed played incredibly well
