Those Thors were so clutch man… I love when just a few units used in the right way can swing a game so drastically like this! They were blasting away at those high tier units and absolutely wrecking them
What an incredible game. To be losing your main and mainly be concerned about not producing from the bases being ransacked, while calmly rebuilding on the left and constantly counterattacking, to set the stage for an incredibly clutch last fight with a cloud of SCVs cosplaying as a battery overcharge and two hero Thors, the last defenders of humankind against Skytoss. Banger episode!!
@@troletrain Right... So you want Vikings, with a range of 9, to counter tempests, with a range of 14? To then fly close enough that carriers can easily initiate their launches (range of 8) which can then easily follow them back and take them down? Vikings get 4 shot by tempests. So your effective power is being lost before you even fire a single shot. It takes at least 10 shots to 1 shot a Thor, and any unkilled unit can just be repaired and is just as deadly. Since thors are more gas heavy than minerals (weighted), you'll have plenty of minerals left over for marines to take care of interceptors, and then just stim in once the interceptor levels are low.
I can’t believe you won this. It’s crazy to me how you never give up and end up pulling out the craziest wins. Love to see it dude. Appreciate all the amazing content you provide!!
25:37 the two thors at the end looked like something straight out of star wars clone wars... it was just 2 thors, 1 tank, and a bunch of scvs against the separatist droid army... that tank was still alive, zoning off the entire droid ground army, the two thors held on like some kind of standalone ATT-1s, the tank falls and now its just the 2 thors and you're rooting for the severely outnumbered clone forces
uThermal! Hands down the best channel on TH-cam by far. Only content creator where i see everything. I just love listening to your thinking while you are playing.
This was AMAZING. After seeing penguin brothers get rekt by Disruptor in so many episodes, i was surprised to learn that thors beat down on Protoss big tech Well earned victory Thermy
The PF is the only building that benefits from that upgrade, he's better off getting Infantry Weapons with the gas, IMO, for when the rush fails, like in this game, and he has to scramble to defend against anything.
I don't know if you read my comment on an earlier video and/or listened to me but this is what I was talking about when I said we don't need extra challenges added to the one you're doing (i.e., marine-medivac or cyclone-mine added to PF Rush). The video I'm referring to left me feeling frustrated, as I root for you and feel a little like I'm watching a variation of my absolute GOAT self (which I'll never be anything close to 😢😅🤣) and it's frustrating when you're pushing the limits too much and pretty much throwing (no offense). You could have lost this and I'd still be a-okay with it because you did your best and made logical (and arguably super-advanced, in some spots) decisions but it's really about the fact that when you win it, it's more rewarding than if you had insisted on increasing the challenge level too much. Please keep yolo-ing but do it with the right amount of restraint! Just my 2 cents! GG!
just commenting for the algorithm but also: have you thought of using a proxy base to ferry a worker into opponent's main, where a proxy barracks/factory can be built while the CC floats off to become secret base? Not sure if the timing works out at all
Man, I love watching your matches so much. You're constantly reinventing the game. As someone who does not much enjoy watching physical sports, aside from soccer (non-American football), this channel is my primary source of entertainment. I watch esports even while eating breakfast, etc. so it's great that you are constantly uploading new matches. I would also like to note that I appreciate your simple thumbnail and title the past couple of days. I think this is important to maintain sanity at the rate you're adding content, and it actually stands out in a world of giant fonts and arrows. GGs, QuestionMarc!
4:59 I was thinking if these widow mines had been buried by the planetary, perhaps this might have kept the planetary in the game. Yes? Or is the approaching immortal still too much?
The immortal by itself does like 50+ damage to armored (buildings are typically armored). It's a hard counter to things like siege tanks and planetaries. His planetary was half way done with about 835 more hp, he would have maybe gotten a single shot off with the planetary if he didn't cancel it, even with widow mines there.
the hard counter to carriers and tempests is nuke. make them spend all their recalls and then nuke this fleet. they're too slow to save themselves without recall so the opp's micro has to be mega insane in this case.
That barracks is stuck at 99% completed for like 15mins. I was twitching out every time his camera had it in sight but never sent a SCV to finish it. Like finish it or cancel it you’re killing me bro.
He's had a thor only army comp challenge and went up against a protoss that went mass disruptor. Even with uThermal's great splits, his thors got hit by just about every disruptor shot because they're to big and slow.
I've not really played any versus in Starcraft II since WoL, It's weird seeing thors having good anti-air. I just remember those awful missiles they shot.
Thors seems to be a fun meme units, Maybe a challenge that feature them as a core unit will be nice, Like Reaper thors battlecruiser Reaper tanks thors Or something like that to GM Will be nice, Good game btw man.
Why every time you are about to place the first barracks, it looks like you are about to lay down and eng bay instead and then you actually build the barracks? It seems like you consistently do that, is it to help with positioning or something like that? By the way, I love your channel.
The only thing that could of made this crazier is if you'd of gone for the gold base whilst they were harassing your main. Still though what a good game :D
Those two Thors at the end absolutely ended that mans stream that night.
Does he have a record?
Shout out to the SCVs keeping them alive!
Those Thors were so clutch man… I love when just a few units used in the right way can swing a game so drastically like this! They were blasting away at those high tier units and absolutely wrecking them
Ended Rotties career
Is there anywhere I can see that stream from Rotherdams perspective?
I wanna see Lowko and Harstem cast this, especially their reactions to the attempt to kill the observer with thor splash
Please someone reply to this if it happens!!
they don t have the imagination or he will power to to this. please leave them alone in the filth.
@@dragoda ?
@@dinomightx3 what what?
Ruff splash kills em all the time.

epic coment!!👋
"a cloud of SCVs cosplaying as a battery overcharge" LOL
Sees Protoss Air Army
Me: Build vikings duh
Uthermal: Vikings are trash in this situation
Me: Crys in low diamond
exactly what I'm thinking 😂 why doesn't he jus build vikings... HAHAHA
@@peacefulconflicts9428 Thors outrange vikings in this situation and have more DPS
@@GameFuMaster Vikings are still the best counter to Tempests and Carriers. The bonus damage to armored and quicker speed trumps armored air all day.

22:36 The observer actually is damaged by the splash as you could see the shield glow as it gets hit.
25:37 the two thors at the end looked like something straight out of star wars clone wars... it was just 2 thors, 1 tank, and a bunch of scvs against the separatist droid army... that tank was still alive, zoning off the entire droid ground army, the two thors held on like some kind of standalone ATT-1s, the tank falls and now its just the 2 thors and you're rooting for the severely outnumbered clone forces
"aaarrr that's so many shields deleted, lets freakin go" tickled me
uThermal! Hands down the best channel on TH-cam by far. Only content creator where i see everything. I just love listening to your thinking while you are playing.
yet another fantastic game Marc! never give up, never surrender!
Could never get tired of Planetary rushes.
"Skytoss is scary"
Proceeds to melt with marines, and long range thor with repair abuse.
just wanna say how much I appreciate this series - thank you for doing it
What a game! :D Thor goes pewpew.. well played and thanks for this awesome content
Definitely earned the Omega Banger award for that last game, wow!
Hero thor duo at the end was epic xD
They were doing the predator handshake.
Last time I rushed a big twitch streamer I got a restraining order
You should have ordered your Darkshards to do it for you!
Least deranged twitch mod
Holy cow man. Unbelievable. Another great example of mental/emotional tenacity.
Haha my favourite was uthermal overestimating the reason rotti has a probe instead of zealot at the watchtower. He does it so he doesn't f2 😂
omega bangers for sure, instantly hit the like button
I want to see a surprise episode uthermal strat and hitting Harstems series beating grandmasters with stupid stuff.
Holy cow that was crazy roller coaster. i love it. so fun to watch!
How the hell did you win this game? Good job marc!
same, I'm like "damn, I can't believe he came back from that".. me later, "oh right he's a 6.2k ex-pro"
15:55 that one heroic little marine
Such a pleasure to see a man with a passion to lovely PF style!
Is there a video showing the other side?
Yeah, whenever he plays another streamer I always want to see their version of the video.
Yes please!
Possibly this stream from yesterday? I can't check, you need to be a subscriber to see his VODs. www.twitch.tv/videos/1767682159
i hope someone finds it
let us know if anyone finds it
I love it when Daddy Thor get to show their sons and daughters how to fight versus air
I was literally jumping for joy at the end with the last two thors standing up to the remaining forces with their army of repairers. Amazing game.
You have got to send this to Pig - this was an epic
You need to send that 3rd game to Lowko to cast!! So epic and surprising :)
The tank at 25:52 tried to play a solid snake and hide inside the fallen carrier's armor, but as soon as it moved the colossus was like:
sus
Amazing episode, I loved the Thor switch
i know you're going for minimalism with your titles recently but that was incredible. one of the best episodes ever.
I was sure you were dead but those two thors with the scv’s! I can’t believe how invincible that was!
Where is the buttons bigger than a thumbs up?!?! For an omega banger like this deserves it!
That game was unbelievable. Those Thor’s were so clutch. Beautiful.
That was insane! Thanks for the vid :)
Thors outscale carriers as u get upgrades at 0-0 carriers are better at 3-3 they crush them did aton testing in the unit tester pre carrier nerfs even
Brooo, this episodes are so insanee! WP Mark! :)
23:09 what it is, what it is indeed my man lol
25:56 That Carrier piece on the Tank x)
Hero Thors at the end... absolutely epic
yes, the barracks was denied pretty much the whole game 🤣 The phoenix's took out the builder SCV their first run in to the main.
That last game was insane
Would like to see a series of pure containment, planetary fortresses, turrets, widow-mines, tanks, etc. Iron wall protocol.
Never thought I’d see 2 thors kill an entire Protoss army 😂
You dirty asf 😂 that poor dude.. uthermal brining the cheese 🧀 hopefully he brings the wine 🍷🤣
Best starcraft game that I have seen in long while =D
This was AMAZING.
After seeing penguin brothers get rekt by Disruptor in so many episodes, i was surprised to learn that thors beat down on Protoss big tech
Well earned victory Thermy
Have you considered rushing building armor? An early game PF with armor would tank so many hits.
The PF is the only building that benefits from that upgrade, he's better off getting Infantry Weapons with the gas, IMO, for when the rush fails, like in this game, and he has to scramble to defend against anything.
Wow, that game looked completely over so many times. Amazing
uthermal's content is solo carrying the relevancy of SC2 outside of the active player base

Wow.
Just curious - why do you siege the tanks vs coloss / ruptor near the end? Don't tanks do more dps vs a single armoured target when unsieged?
What a game Marc😮well done man!👍🏻
Thor repair at the end gave you the win!! wow!!
Greate game! It was nice to see how those two thors and one tank destroyed his whole army!
😂 Rotterdam is so pissed right now lol 😂
Bedankt voor alle uploads!
You had me clapping my hands by the end.
That was a very entertaining match, well played!
This was one heck of an episode

WOW, when he GG'd that caught me off-guard. Well done
I was thinking you needed to repair the Thors what an awesome match
One of the most entertaining games! And good to see how to win against a TOS air army like this !
This is how you starcraft. Well done.
the hard counter to carriers and tempests is nuke. make them spend all their recalls and then nuke this fleet. they're too slow to save themselves without recall so the opp's micro has to be mega insane in this case.
that "adios".
BEST GAME EVER! amazing game dude, i though you lost like twice. its insane how much skill you got. fantastic
Great video Marq!
That barracks is stuck at 99% completed for like 15mins. I was twitching out every time his camera had it in sight but never sent a SCV to finish it. Like finish it or cancel it you’re killing me bro.
I love your content uThermal!!!
I wonder if PF rush is the most successful series in terms of win:loss ratio. Certainly it has to be this or the speedrunning one.
nah he was at like 50-0 with his cheese to gm series
Do you post replays somewhere? This is a game I would re-watch from multiple POVs, it's more dramatic than many movies!
Running Thors away from Disruptor novas is something we haven't seen... until today.
He's had a thor only army comp challenge and went up against a protoss that went mass disruptor. Even with uThermal's great splits, his thors got hit by just about every disruptor shot because they're to big and slow.
Is there a video of this game from Rotherdams perspective?
that was such an EPIC and exciting game! holy shit!
Wow, great game! was he streaming this game too? Was it recorded? Would be sooo cool to watch it from the other side
I've not really played any versus in Starcraft II since WoL, It's weird seeing thors having good anti-air. I just remember those awful missiles they shot.
Thors seems to be a fun meme units,
Maybe a challenge that feature them as a core unit will be nice,
Like
Reaper thors battlecruiser
Reaper tanks thors
Or something like that to GM
Will be nice,
Good game btw man.
What's up with that Mass-Marauder against Skytoss in the Rotterdam game? You know those cannot shoot up, right?
Utherm, if you scroll wheel you can see observer easier and check ur splash position!
literally said "holy shit" out loud when he GGed
Thors, PFs and BCs are the best 😅 I like big units and I can not lie
absolute omegabanger for sure
Is there a way to rush building armor upgrade so that as your PF is morphing is has extra armor?
One of your best games yet!
That game was very entertaining. Wicked stuff
dude! wth, how did he won that game. Marc, you are the man
You tapped into your inner Maru.
Why every time you are about to place the first barracks, it looks like you are about to lay down and eng bay instead and then you actually build the barracks? It seems like you consistently do that, is it to help with positioning or something like that? By the way, I love your channel.
Amazing win!!!!
Oh what a nice and close game :)
The only thing that could of made this crazier is if you'd of gone for the gold base whilst they were harassing your main. Still though what a good game :D
That was awesome, fires up StarCraft and can’t manage one marine 😂
Could you hide all these widowmines under sieged tanks? For the phoenix to run over
