Kamikaze Snooker 2.0 | Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Thepchaiya Un-Nooh | 2014 German Masters

Ronnie plays some hasty and exhibition shots while behind in the frame score and one frame away from losing the match. Instead, Thepchaiya remains calm and makes valuable breaks, even though he makes some unforced mistakes.

The video shows that the tournament stage weights changed dramatically at the start of the 2014/15 season due to the new ranking system based on prize money.

A second big change was the relative weight of the World Championship. Before 2014, a Home Nation tournament was equal to 50% of the WSC regarding ranking points awarded; the UK Championship 80% and the Shanghai Masters 70%. Today, the WSC is 7 times bigger than a Home Nation event and 2.5 times the UK Championship in terms of prize money and ranking points. Under the old system, players reaching two QFs and two Last-16 received as many ranking points as the world champion.

The statistics shown in the video correspond to the date of the match.
