  • StarCraft 2 match between uThermal and Jason (top 25 Grandmaster on NA) where uThermal plays his latest strategy: Mass Raven and Hellion. This is a crazy macro game of Terran versus Terran with hundreds of Hellions and Ravens.

    There is this old trick we used to see, and now it's mostly useless, but it could have been used by uThermal at some points: Scan and drop mules on siege tanks lines, friendly fire taking care of a few tanks where this is the only ground defense, then you can run the hellions in.

  • @sintanan469

    Lowko, you _so_ need to cover more of the Raven challenge and the Ghost challenge. The raven/hellion have something like a 78% win rate and the ghosts are even better. Some of those nuke drops are orgasmic.

    • @IcariumGaming
      @IcariumGaming ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The problem is that there isn't really anything exciting or new to each of his matches. Maybe he gets a great nuke, or takes a great fight with auto turrets. How do you really comment on that?
      Oh here comes the attack, twenty auto turrets and flies away, next battle now, oh twenty auto turrets and flies away. It is entertaining to watch, but not commentate.
      Is it good that he took one of uThermals losses, as it made things more interesting to cast. This is coming from someone who has watched all those matches.

    You'd think blue flame hellions would do well against Ghosts, except that despite appearances, Ghosts are not actually light units. They actually have no armor tag at all. Hellions/hellbats are light units though, so Ghosts kick the shit out of them.
