Cannon rush guy at 5k mmr and he decides to tap out after getting a cannon up why? No follow up at that level? What did he see that said nope to him, I wonder.
@@lickenchicken143His cannon rush was doomed to fail once the probe inside the main died and the other two were locked out. There’s no way you’re going to catch up with a Terran, who can build CCs in his base and float them to wherever he wants, after sinking 600+ minerals (Forge, 3 Pylons, 1 Cannon, +1 Cannon that will need to be canceled & 2 additional canceled buildings) into a failed cannon rush. Maybe you could play your heart out for a few more minutes to try to eke out a comeback but you would have to be seriously underestimating your opponent at that MMR to do so. Edit: Wanted to note that even assuming the cannon in the main finished instead of canceling, it wouldn’t be able to do any serious economic damage before being promptly taken out.
@_catsy all good points, you're missing the psychological damage if a cannon rush, but especially given how uThermal reacts here, there doesn't seem to be any. Gg I guess.
I've been waiting and waiting for some new challenge content on this channel. I like these challenge series much more than the single challenge videos on your other channel. So happy you are back :)
I would love to see you try to defeat your opponent by prioritizing taking out their supply structures. Not sure if that is a viable strategy but would be hilarious 😂
@@davidbang9625 Not exactly. If you're good enough at sniping supply, they can't build an army. But also it just costs them a lot of money to keep remaking supply, so they can't afford units, so again there is not a lot of army.
Recently you've been playing some games against people in the community (rather than ladder), which have been super fun. They also open up whole new possibilities by using modified gameplay. In the challenges you can choose note to make certain units, but you can't add other handicaps. What about a game against a Diamond player where your units are modded to be super slow, or super huge? That might be really entertaining to watch. Though of course a bit more work to prepare.
The only player who feels bad for his opponent as he's holding their cannon rush... and of course the opponent GGs out as Thermy is telling an unrelated story while apologizing to the opponent for holding too easily... legendary.
Finally. My second best series (after Sky Terran) continues. Welcome back! Idea for a new series: Transformers. You are allowed units that can transform: Hellbats/Hellions, Siege Tanks, Vikings and maybe Thors. Thors while technically transform, have one of their forms barely useful, so that might be a reason to exclude them. Besides, with Thors this might look too much like Penguin Brothers.
Glad to see beloved series back!!! And great that more is coming!!! Would we have a new series centered around balance patch updated units? Like new Cyclone or Mothership? ))
Welcome back Marc! I really enjoy your series, and can't wait to see what you do next. The challenges are really fun too (3 platinum v one and things like that)!
Series: Protoss Bong Cloud: build a second base and transport all workers there. No longer allowed to mine from the main until you have a third base up.
Would like to see Challenge X plus one. Where plus one is whatever unit you think would solve the weakness or be most fun at the time you're playing. So challenge could be battle cruisers, or cyclone widow mine, or cloaked units, and then you get to pick one unit to add to the mix for each match.
I want to see the "Psychopath Challenge", you can only build the same tier units as your competition. You have to scout to see what they have and that is all you can build. If it is a mirror match, you have to build the exact same thing. 2nd option: You can only build units that are hard countered by your opponent's build. Let's see those micro skills
uThermal, is it possible to dodge a widow mine shot with a reaper grenade jump? technically its not a "blink/teleport" but it dislocates the unit. was science on this done already?
Protoss cannon rushers are like Jehovah's Witnesses with the ring bell in a Sunday morning. Formula: Protoss : cannon rusher = Jehovah's Witnesses : ring bell That's Math!
Having novelty in the game keeps it entertaining, pros complaining are at the very least shortsighted. Patches with power switch to create new metas, new maps and morenare all beneficial for the game.
An idea for a new series: Perfect Game to GM. Play however you need to so that you lose no units, or set a threshold like less than _ unit lost per minute. Usual strategies treat units as sacrificial if they can do enough damage, I'd be curious how far someone could get while never sending units on suicide missions (possible exception for banelings if a Zerg series).
...Am I back?
Guess who's back! Guess who's back! Guess who's back! Guess who's back!
babe ❤
goat is back
Back am I ?
@@nicklindberg90 Back again
The main reason I enjoy watching this guy. Is he shows such natural enjoyment from it. Cheers everyone enjoy your weekend.
Here's me going "Oh no it's a cannon rush! How's he going to hold that?" and he says "Oh this is a failure for him" and defeats it in about 10 secs.

So excited to have this series back! I can't believe I've becoming addicted to your videos when I haven't even played SC2 in 10+ years :D
I need to see a cyclone series with the changed cyclones
Love seeing you in full force. Great wisdom of the flow of the game, and how strategy wins the day!

Population control! Harstem did that once or twice in his beating GM's with stupid stuff series and it was always hilarious
@@Dawindell agreed, i just wish there was more follow up to it because it was a one-off!
@@semicedevine6918 I'd definitely love to see a whole series on it by uThermal 😁
It's pointless since you still have to face the army...
@@davidbang9625 Not exactly. If you're good enough at sniping supply, they can't build an army. But also it just costs them a lot of money to keep remaking supply, so they can't afford units, so again there is not a lot of army.
Yay! I missed your videos a lot. It took me weeks before I accepted they weren't coming anymore and stopped looking every single evening.
You do know there's channel 2 right?
@@hsinglimYes! But those were a lot fewer too. But yes, that softened the blow a bit. :)
So good to have you back! Thank you for coming back to the community! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤

Those muscles @10:18 haha 😘
He’s back!! Now we all wait for season 2 of planetary rush to gm

I cant wait to drive the new cyclones in my 3x3 and 4x4 night sessions
If only they would change the map pool T_T

Welcome back! Would love to see another protoss series that exploits something in the new patch. mothership rush maybe?
Welcome back Marc! I really enjoy your series, and can't wait to see what you do next. The challenges are really fun too (3 platinum v one and things like that)!
Welcome Back! Are we going to get Mothership Rush to GM with the new patch? (I was always hoping to see that during the Proxy Nexus to GM series)
Bro, thank you for your content!
I would like to see some crazy no siege mass tanks with mass vikings 😂 only
To be fair, who does like Widow mines? They are meant to be annoying
the person building them 💀
Only when I play zerg. Its not that big of an issue with the other races
@@pineapple9238even as a person making them I hate it. Hopefully the new patch will distract my factory production with cyclones instead
Return of the King! 🎉
Series: Protoss Bong Cloud: build a second base and transport all workers there. No longer allowed to mine from the main until you have a third base up.
3:43 Man just lost Stalker on a mine.
3:56 Rude Mark tells about 'really good micro' xD
Glad your back thermy, silly goose that you are. It would be neat to see you play with only units the races had in SC1

I'm going to keep trying to plug something involving Ultralisks just because they're such a cool looking unit.
Good to have you back!!😊
How about a series where your first expansion is always your opponents third (or their natural if they went for the third first)
uThermal, is it possible to dodge a widow mine shot with a reaper grenade jump? technically its not a "blink/teleport" but it dislocates the unit. was science on this done already?
Love the channel
Thank you for making these videos
the legend is back miss those!
Tack!
I like all of his videos before i even watch them because i know it will be a banger 👌
4:05 wtf why is the left mine not targeting the drone?
@6:45 is that an otter???
GOAT is BACK
Hello! I loved your BC + widow mines gameplays :)
Did u do beiling series?
so glad X to GM is back, thanks uThermal !!
I love ur content uThermal❤❤❤
NEXT SERIES: Blind Countering the Unknown. Roll the dice on what your opponent will do, and die on that hill, or wipe them out totally!
I just started my vacation and uthermal finally posts a video? This is going to be two good weeks :3
Oh hai Marc!
Welcome back man.
Recently discovered the scion custom race mods. They are actually pretty interesting.
Protoss cannon rushers are like Jehovah's Witnesses with the ring bell in a Sunday morning.
Formula:
Protoss : cannon rusher = Jehovah's Witnesses : ring bell
That's Math!
Nice to see you back at it after your vacation man. Always love your stuff even if im a zerg player 😂
Series of you reacting to your own pro games from 2012-2015 would be nice
New Series with the new patch on the test map?
Have you been playing BAR under the name Starcraftman?
Thermy! How do you feel about the upcoming changes to Ghosts in the next patch? How about Cyclones??
Great vid, thanks for the content!
Calling them widow mines is one part unsettling and one part hilarious.
I’ve never been so early to a video before lol, great video!
Neeeed more Cloaked to GM!!! So good!
Can you do a commentary on Starcraft tournament for terran players to provide some idea on what can be done against an opponent?
Thanks for the cloaking fun. ^^
Bangin'!
Ghost nerf will hurt.
Opponent contain and map control series where you try to prevent expansions while macroing. or a supply attack video
You should do a burrowed zerg build to GM
He's back 😮
This is SOOO good!
Its good you started from masters
Good video enjoyed it
the last guy cannon rushed and didn't even gg lmao
Youre playing a game that is almost 15.years ago. Time for the future
New cyclones for the new series
Bro when are you getting on diablo 4 or diablo immortal???
Having novelty in the game keeps it entertaining, pros complaining are at the very least shortsighted. Patches with power switch to create new metas, new maps and morenare all beneficial for the game.
Spell zerg to GM/dropper zerg to gm? ... Would love to see battlemech on the new patch...or maybe some mass marauder + something something
This is awesome!
So stoked!
ITS BACK
AMAZING, SO HAPPY

Tempest-Sentry to Grandmaster!
Like 1k Pog!
unsieged tanks to grandmaster
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Challenge: Use Neural, kill a toss or a terran only with the enemy's race units (copy and like this to put pressure guys!)
Please do a Protoss series.
Yay for cloaky-boys
cyclone mine!
Hey Thermy, why have there been such few videos in the past weeks?
He took a break and he deserved a break
Much needed vacation
Thanks guys :-)
About time, that was too long of a break, tired of watching re-runs.
GG!
Legend
you assu?
hey uThermal can we vs you :)
Happy
Let's go
*slow clap*
finally ;D
Bump
Switch between race to grandmaster.
wrr
To be fair, no one likes Widow Mines.
First
