I loved how you were able to drastically reduce the amount of attempts by going to the whiteboard and studying the replays, the maps, etc. One of the wrinkliest brains out there for sure.
Holy crap. You lost less than 10k resources worth of units and the enemies lost 293k resources worth. You killed 30x the unit value your opponents killed. Amazing game, love these challenges.
Congratulations!! For a future challenge, i believe the 2P/2Z/2T & 1 Random you mentioned to be the most "balanced" (compared to all-random where you hope for good matchups)
Yes this 100% that has to be the hardest 1v7 and the only one left save for 4:3/3:4 ratio of just two races but then that’s just annoying how many combinations there are.
What this series has taught me: 1. Liberators are op 2. The AI is dumb with Liberator zones 3. Mech is literally the best strategy ever Time to go pro!
AI x6: Sends army enough to completely blot out the mini-map vision below the ramp, including carriers, colossi, immortals and hundreds of gateway units uThermal: Raises eyebrows 2 millimeters for 2 seconds
Hey thermal I never comment on videos, but your series are incredibly awesome to watch. The consistent commentary and video length are a perfect combination. I barely have any knowledge of the game and can still find a lot of enjoyment in the content. Keep it up.
I believe they made it free to play, at least the first campaign and multiplayer. If you have the time, I highly recommend trying this game. Even the storyline is great.

You are insane!!!!! Followed all ai challenges and was wandering how would you do it against Protoss. Still imagining this would be nearly impossible. If there is a talent you are it mate. Well done.
We are experiencing history here guys. SC2 is out for so many years and this dude comes along and almost casually walks over challenges that have been thought as impossible for centuries. Have you ever seen Serral beat 7 Zerg, Terran and then Protoss at the same time? No! uThermal > Serral is hereby proven
Thank you for putting this one up instead of your 13th attempt. I've seen some other people do challenges that win through bugging out and honestly, it seems to be much less satisfying. This 19th attempt you did is truly through skill and is great to watch.
Ai Cheater Insane has a few things going for it: 1: it can see the entire map, it knows where every building is, where every unit is, and what your unit comp is. It's able to blind-counter you 2: Ai gathers +2 resources. So 7 resources instead of 5. This affects mules as well 3: Ai gets free money in the late game. 4: The ai is able to switch comps. The Cheater ai is more reactive to what you do, and will switch on a dime if it so chooses too. 5: It's MAX APM is increased to 1200-1400. Protoss for some reason likes microing probes into warp-prisms. 7: Ai is better at targeting and microing. It's able to spit against anti-armor missiles with precise accuracy
great job as always man, with 7T insane AIs beaten now you are just showing off :P love your diversified contents and really keeping the non-melee games side alive, now even more so.
What an amazing fight man! Looking forward to the mixed all insane ai challange. After that i guess you just have to do the challenge with zerg and protoss :P
Wow, that was awesome! I never would have thought it possible to beat 7 allied insane bots. When SC2 was new I used to love playing crazy base defense style games vs the AI, but I mever managed to actually win against an insane bot 1v1. Granted, my RTS skills never exceeded bronze league, but still, there is no way I would have believed this if I hadn't seen it! Well done!
" I feel like attempt 13 was very buggy and I wanted to show that I could actually do it without the help of bugs" Shots fired! Hero marine he's looking at you..m
Glad you didn't upload the buggy one and decided finish it again! When I saw heromarine's 1v7 all random, a lot of the AI's bugged out which I thought low-key ruined the challenge.
I'll watch this later, but holy hell dude, this was fast! I would REALLY love to see what Zerg can do to siege up properly, so Zerg vs 7 AI, but I'm not sure that's possible.
Great job doing these! I look forward to seeing you do more with those other proposed faction make-ups. I'd love to see some randoms, but that's up to you.
Awesome job! Nice work. I’ve never played sc2 yet but used to play against 7 AI all the time as protoss in broodwar. I would eventually wall off with nexuses (imagine with shield batteries + overcharge here?). I’d have canons defend with skytoss and a gazillion dark archons. I’d mind control all the enemies as my conscripted army. Could easily go beyond the 200 unit cap this way lol What about walling off with planetary fortresses? Like 5-10 of them across the ramp? Probably not as efficient doing it your way but would be fun as hell.
Really love this strategy!!! That must have been a difficult decision to drop siege tanks from your build, but after watching those immortals not give a crap about the liberators and wander through the liberation zones it's easy to see why now. Cattlebruisers are also a great pick. with +2 armor against your opponent, you effectively reduce damage output from carriers and phenoxies to minimum damage output, (1/10 their base DSP) . having a raven was an amazing idea as well, assuming upgrades are equal. its a 37.5% increase in damage output against ground targets, and a 60% increase against air units. Viodrays are almost 1 shot by the Yamato gun, (they survive with 10 hp), and all ground based anti-air can be taken care of by the liberators. That being said I think you got lucky in that none of the AIs built any tempest. Not sure if they are allergic to them or what, but this strategy would be shut down pretty quickly with mass tempest. If they sent them with a massive army, that could provide vision up close, then they could deal significant damage from afar. That being said, Congratulations on your sucess with these challenges!!
The most impressive thing for me is the fact you uploaded this video only 6 days after publishing the video vs 7 AI Terrans. That means it took you only 5 days to do beat this challenge. You are a literal RTS god Marc! 😮❤
These challenges are cool, for these, you could move your face cam over to the left just a little, and fit it in the face window directly to left of where your face is now. (the tall rectangular box that has the face of the races in it). Especially, since that cam feed is not live with audio. I think that would look really cool and be a nice touch to the video. Does SC2 have "Fastest" maps, like the old brood war ones? That might be a fun challenge as well, if so.
So here are the stats again: the total efficiency was 293,405 : 9,770 Resources lost which is a Ratio of staggering 30.03 : 1!!! Just that means* that for every bc you lost, the AI lost over 12,000 Minerals and more than 9,000 Gas. This is more minerals than the average base has and more than double the gas!!!! In exchange for one bc! just incredible........ (a base has according to liquipedia 10,800 minerals and 4,500 gas) the AI that lost the most traded at a ratio of 7.45 : 1 and all AIs on average at 4.29 : 1. Definitely the best efficiency jet by far and probably that i have ever seen. Great content keep it up! I having a lot of fun watching all your videos! *you can not actually calculate it like that but it gives you an idea of the insanity of those trades.
Team games with the same race like this, is there a way to display them as different colors? I think that would be more interesting visually, as well as show which AI's are attacking (or defeated)
Cracking the protoss AI challenge is a sick achievement man. By the way - thors are God awful at carrier killing, as we all know, and on top of that they aren't capable of harassing the enemies. By all reasonable estimations, they are not a good unit here.
Thors are insanely good at carrier killing. If it wasn't for the disruptor, they would hardcounter mass carrier. If you are thinking of Javelin Launchers, not being aware that you can switch the thor mode, that would explain it.
Yes I think the final boss would be 2p, 2t, 2z + 1 of whatever race you want as your neighbour. This one was great though, I didn't think you would do it so fast! I did think it would involve BCs though xD
Imagine being on the ground of that war and seeing a whole fleet of battlecruisers darkening the sun and carpet bombing a planet with laser rounds the size of a small building...
What an achievement ! I usually never comment before seeing the vid, but i really thought this one in particular was impossible, you did it though, now "just" 7 random ai and you will be the GOAT forever
For everyone that thinks nukes in this situation would be a good idea: Cheater AI knows where the nuking ghost is and where the nuke is targeted. If you try it even against 2 or 3 cheater AIs you'll see your ghost die almost immediately. Detection is almost never an issue for the AI and neither is damage output. Nuking, despite how cool it would be to see, is not going to happen.
Unlikely, Serral, Maru, Reynor will always have an edge due to their stardom. Most people into competetive sc2 know uthermal, but of course it's always easier to know world champions.
I remember as a kid I used to love doing command and conquer red alert. 1 vs 7 ai with just the armies no bases and watch as the ai would send all 7 armies against my one. And would be pure chaos. Not much strategy just focus fire. Would win a few times depending on map and position many times just impossible for me. Red alert two 7 vs 1 was also a lot of fun.
Would making a couple of siege tanks for denying of the bases cause the AI to change behavior? It seems to me you could prevent much more mining there with just 2 siege tanks on either side.
2144 : 94 kills vs losses which is about 23 : 1 kill / loss ratio 293495 : 9770 lost resources, which is about 30 : 1 ratio For anyone that wants the numbers. uThermal says he wants 10:1 on bit BC's.. so 3 times that is pretty damn good.
I used to do these playing on slow speed and resuming from replay when I die. I liked to use barracks for walls, as they are cheap for the HP and can be flown away to repair, while immediately landing fresh ones. After a couple hundred restart from replays, I eventually would get 30:1 or better resources lost.
I loved how you were able to drastically reduce the amount of attempts by going to the whiteboard and studying the replays, the maps, etc.
One of the wrinkliest brains out there for sure.
It does seem to lack a certain smoothness 😂
What a legend! Not expecting this one so quickly.
Lol protoss ez
Same
WHAAAT I nearly fell off my chair seeing this so fast!!!
good job solving this puzzle so fast :)
Lol don’t show this to Reynor XD
Holy crap. You lost less than 10k resources worth of units and the enemies lost 293k resources worth. You killed 30x the unit value your opponents killed. Amazing game, love these challenges.
thats the power of stupid ai now they need openai
20 seconds into the game: "dealing with your neighbor who is overly sensitive."
Five seconds later, probes are in the base, attacking suvs.
How the AI knows he made a depot? There is no scout!
@@FatTunaTakos Cheater AIs -- the toughest setting -- have map hack and see the whole map.
Holy hell that was quick! I was just watching PiGs breakdown of your 1V7 Terran. You’re an absolute legend
He said in the 1v7 Terran that protoss might be impossible. Then beats it within a week lol demonic
Same lol
Same!!
@@Kavewolf1989 his earlier 1v7 insane ai is what makes him powerful. We need to stop him
Congratulations!! For a future challenge, i believe the 2P/2Z/2T & 1 Random you mentioned to be the most "balanced" (compared to all-random where you hope for good matchups)

play the demo at least , and you will understand better whats hapening
I believe they made it free to play, at least the first campaign and multiplayer. If you have the time, I highly recommend trying this game. Even the storyline is great.
Next up:
INSANE 1v7 HOLDOUT AGAINST 7 RANDOM GMs
THIS
that one is actually impossible
even for serral
which needs to be followed up by bongclouding 1v7 against rank 1 players picked at random
GM1: Roach timing
GM2: Proxy 4 rax
GM3: Proxy Void ray
GM4: Super economic greed
GM5: Clem 3 rax BO
GM6: Bane bust (intended to hit with Roach timing)
GM7: Dark Templar
what??
You can launch mules in that valley that your BCs were fighting in. Just tested it cause I saw a colossus walk there.
I hope this series continues. Can't wait for 1 Zerg Vs. 7 Insane A. I.
This already happened on PiG's channel.
give link then pls

I just finished watching Pigs reaction to the 1v7 terran. And already uthermal goes and complete 1v7 protoss
I love that visible reaction to the omega push after 13:50. Especially because it syncs up to his VO reaction.
He cannot be stopped. The sheer determination of this man is truly commendable
Thanks!
he actually did it and here I am struggling to defeat medium AI
All non cheater ia Can be beaten with rushing a capital ship(carrier/BC)
All you need are siege tanks
And if that doesn't work
make more
That's because you don't spam battlecruisers!
You are insane!!!!! Followed all ai challenges and was wandering how would you do it against Protoss. Still imagining this would be nearly impossible. If there is a talent you are it mate. Well done.
Almost 50k :o would love to see the evolution curve of the channel !
You deserve even more !
We are experiencing history here guys. SC2 is out for so many years and this dude comes along and almost casually walks over challenges that have been thought as impossible for centuries.

7: Ai is better at targeting and microing. It's able to spit against anti-armor missiles with precise accuracy
Sooo the 1st one took you 71, the 2nd around 30... and this one 13 attempts??? Awesome!!! Never give up! o///
Yep, he actually studies and learns from losses unlike most of the guys out there.
great job as always man, with 7T insane AIs beaten now you are just showing off :P love your diversified contents and really keeping the non-melee games side alive, now even more so.
What an amazing fight man! Looking forward to the mixed all insane ai challange. After that i guess you just have to do the challenge with zerg and protoss :P

1 vs 7 terran looks like it was by far the hardest.
A great man once said, all roads lead to battlecruisers.
Cool! Congratulations!!! And glad to see you playing as well! ))
As a chess player its so hard to play against an AI. Good job, the machines will win one day but today is a day for the humans.
Yes. Chess 1v7 challenge next.
This is like playing against an AI that gets queen odds. The Starcraft built-in AIs are actually really bad strategically - they just cheat.
The challenges and your commentaries are great! Love watching your videos!
Great job doing these! I look forward to seeing you do more with those other proposed faction make-ups. I'd love to see some randoms, but that's up to you.
UThermal: I'm busy doing something very important.
His cat: my food bowl is full. What else could you need to do other than pet me!?
I love your videos, I watched them all. Keep going, you're the boss!
You're really incredible as a terran player ! It was a pleasure to watch !
Awesome job! Nice work.

There is no cat named Nova, there is no girlfriend, and Mark is not in Mexico - he’s right behind you!
First wave: ah ok
Ai: EVERYONE ATTACK
Uthermal: fools.
Love how you call your nearest enemy your “neighbor” so friendly about the AI trying to kill you.
Congrats Mark.
First person to win each race and then clean sweep.
dont burn out ♥ speaking from experience ^-^ very good video series with the bot challenges :D
