Can we just take a moment to appreciate the creativity of the account names? From casper (in the ghost challenge) to salt cannon. Every name has just been awesome :-)
@@SeekAndDestroyTM Imagine the reaction of someone eating a spoonful of salt. You would call someone “salty” if they got upset (from getting planetary rushed). The account he uses to planetary rush is called “salt cannon” and uses a cannon that makes them salty. The account he uses to mass ghosts, he calls Casper. “Casper (the friendly ghost)” is a classic character about a boy who dies and comes back as ghost.
You are just casually having criminal amounts of fun while absolutely fucking styling on the ladder, reading your opponents like books allthewhile probably being the most humble winner I've ever seen. I'm in awe. It's such a joy to watch. The surgical precision with which you analyze your enemy and optimize your own freshly created builds on the go is fascinating. You're a true role model!
I've just reinstalled SC2 because your content is so fun. I hope you get a lot more views, your ability to think, execute and comment at the same time is amazing to watch.
i hate blizzard, i havent played starcraft in years but your energy and passion for the game makes me wanna see more videos! thanks for the entertainment
@@ChristofferFlensburg As someone who is perma banned from hots from telling two different throwers to stfu and play the fing game on the same day, the game was decent enough as an arcade type moba, but lacks depth, has a terrible player base, and worse devs. Lets not forget they implemented their AI banning in hots, which is why I am perma banned due to said throwers reporting me, and getting autobanned for it.
@@EcnalKcin Pretty clear that you were rude and got banned for it, so you hate the game. Heard lots of ppl complain about unfair bans, and they all deserved it when the actual chat messages came out. Hots isn't for everyone. League or dota will be a better fit for you if you want to play moba while high-horsing about "depth", try-harding and bm:ing. Hots is more chill and friendly, especially now that there is essentially no competitive scene, so may not be the game for you. Play the game that makes you happy, Have fun. 👍
I know you read the comments so just wanted to say thank you for the great content! Watching these challenges is the perfect combination of pro level gameplay and entertainment! Hope you're feeling better as well 👍
It's scary how accurately he reads his opponents! it's a bit funny at lower levels, because he is assuming that his opponent is perfectly executing somewhat meta builds and reacting optimally to what they scouted of uthermal. So when the opponents screw up their builds or completely miss information that was on their screen, then uthermal gets confused and is assigned the weirdest reads to them. :D uthermal: Hmm, from the gas timing, the movements of the queens, the overlord positioning and given their account name and portrait, this must be a 2 base 3 gas ravager all-in, which when executed perfectly will hit at 4:14.25 with 9 ravager and 3 roaches, with 4 more roaches 87% across the map. 🧠🧠🧠 diamond opponent: Ugh this reaper harass is such a pain... guess I'll build some roaches.... oops, forgot overlords, nonono come back queens, inject! Should I have built more drones? uthermal, 5 seconds after all-in was expected, totally ready to defend: Hmm, so he didn't do the ravager all in... What else could it be? 🧠🧠🧠 Oh, only thing that fits this is a hidden gold base with long distance mining and nydus swarm host! 🧠🧠 Opponent 60 seconds later: turns up with fewer roaches than expected. uthermal: another dubb, adios!
Now that Artosis has quit casting GSL (State is good but nobody can replace Tasteosis), you're pretty much singlehandedly keeping up my interest in Starcraft 2. Every once in a while I play 3v3 with my brothers and we all love it but none of us play otherwise. This content is golden. Hope you're doing well Thermy.
Your plays are boss-some. Thanks for always challenging yourself with these interesting and creative challenges. It inspires more creativity in general.
Been a lot of fun watching your random cheeses to GM series. Particularly excited for this one. That reaper rush on top of the PF was really effective, well done. Great videos, wonderful insight.
Give the man his subs! I have no clue of starcraft at all, but anyways I still watch him for around 2 months now! This dude is so freaking entertaining!
my man has been grinding, such explosive growth for a SC2 channel in 2022 is crazy. Well deserved though, I remember when the goal was 25k subs by the end of the year and it was on a slow burn, now here he is pushing 70k. Crazy! Love the content
Listen. The first episode of this where you landed in the guys base? I haven't laughed out loud and so hard in a while. Going to his view at the end was just fantastic. I don't even play StarCraft, but that act really made my day. Cheers for that, you've earned a sub!
love this series, the first episode was hilarious, the tension of waiting to see that planetary slowly fly beside the nexus and then transform. that waiting period must be sweaty for you rofl
Thank you! I've been playing with oddly similar builds before -> Highly recommended to *mine* from forward, flanking PFs - you almost had it, against that Zerg "Beard". These can be walled-up with production, too - keep making SVCs from them, to have both a late proxy-mech and auto-repair *batteries* .
I don't even play SC:II, I just come here to watch you pull off these seemingly impossible strategies day after day. It's the ridiculous strategies, quality commentary and brilliant execution that keeps me coming back.
Watched like, maybe 50 fifty of your videos in the last week. Thought I was subbed already because they keep showing up on my front page. New sub earned!
I really want to see you planting planetaries on the natural entry, 3rd, 4th, and 5th enemy expansions and mining from them. Don't expand to your natural. Play pure containment and starve them. Steal their minerals, maybe even build your production on their side of the map. It seems like a lot of the maps in the current pool give you an almost air tight contain when doing this so they can't even reliably push out with air. If you sense an air breakout you can spam turrets. You'd also be going for building armor and range. Might not work higher up, but would love to see you try it earlier.
Love the series! How about hard-rushing a CC outside the main, sending some SCVs + loading them into the command center, then landing in his main and building it directly in their face? Would love to see an all-out cheese attempt
That's the All-In version of the PF rush. Fun when it works, but if the opponent reacts quickly and stops it, you are just totally dead. At the higher levels, he needs a strategy that still gives him a chance to come back if the opponent stops the cheese.
This is such a pleasure to watch. Brings me back in time when I was climbing the ladder in sc and bw. You are doing a great job both playing and commentating, thanks!
i've been watching and enjoying your content recently but i was late to the sub gang. you're so entertaining. also fun to see simon pegg playing sc2 hehehe
I subscribe to few channels because I don't like my sub feed cluttered, but I subbed to you many months ago because the quality was immediately apparent!
Fun Fact with PF and SCV: SCVs cannot repair the PF from inside, but they can repair each other inside the PF. So if you have at least 2 SCVs, the SCVs can be theoretically immortal to projectile damage by loading them and unloading them. The internal repairs can patch up any damage they might/will take.
Very satisfting to see saltcannon rushing. This is like if you took protoss cannon rushing and invested in it and grew it as a successfull business. Its rare we see new and interesting styles.
I want to see a game where you aggressively take your opponents bases with planetaries, probably starting with their 3rd and 4th, and each time you slow push forward you just leap frog planetaries :) If it's successful, I have a few names in mind: Reverse-turtle Terran strat, Strangler contain, uh... Iron froggy? who know, I think there's something there.
True starcraft wizard, i love to see your crazy strategies change my mind about how starcraft can be played! Would be fun to see similar craziness in other factions
With that first game TvT contain... I think if you do a similar build for any match up with a contain, maybe sensor towers on both sides to see if they try to drop or sneak something out could be ideal to combat counter play
I watch your videos because I love them, which makes me re-install SC2. But then I get cheesed in my bronze games by strategies i see you play and quickly uninstall and go back to just watching your videos. 10/10 i hate this game but love watching you play it.
Nice, Ithink you won your 3rd game because you micro well with reapers and distracted him. You didn’t apm your attention away from your main battles. Although other game you did focus attention away from your cc and you should have made it a planetary. Your Viking build was good but you need some banshees. A Viking to snipe air, banshees to distract but you do it well with reapers. Then you need some practice with Protoss. You can beat Terran and Zerg well enough, seem to have issues with Protoss though. Using cc to build your wall saves you time, build your other structures when you drop your planetary or right before you move out. Once the panic sets in and you beat economically by blocking him off then expand, upgrade, build. Only option for opponents is air, if your air comes out first then it transitions to air battle. As long as you got more starports and air units and keep harassing and killing off air units, forces opponents to build anti air in panic mode.
It would be interesting to see you do something with PF and raven and use the fact that hi sec auto tracking and neosteel armor upgrades both PFs and auto turrets simultaneously
This is easy to stop if you are not distracted. You can block it from landing with a SCV or marine. I had someone try this on me and said I was cheating when I blocked the CC from landing. However, I enjoy watching these videos and have learned alot.
Mentioned in a previous video how underrated tanks are while mobile- would be an interest to GM combo- Undeployed seige tanks and X- maybe thors? Rolling thunder
It's funny I had suggested this in another video and here it is! I had said I thought PFs were always meant for offensive not defensive. Terran is the op leap frog race
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the creativity of the account names? From casper (in the ghost challenge) to salt cannon. Every name has just been awesome :-)
Please explain salt cannon
@@SeekAndDestroyTM it’s a Terran “cannon” that’ll get salt from opponents. The lack of gg’s could be the result of the salt
I loved Penguin Brothers
dumb monolingual American here. Imagine coming up with punny names in a language that you don't even natively speak. Humans are so crazy amazing.
@@SeekAndDestroyTM
Imagine the reaction of someone eating a spoonful of salt.
You would call someone “salty” if they got upset (from getting planetary rushed).
The account he uses to planetary rush is called “salt cannon” and uses a cannon that makes them salty.
The account he uses to mass ghosts, he calls Casper.
“Casper (the friendly ghost)” is a classic character about a boy who dies and comes back as ghost.
Kudos to TheBeard for also throwing the GG and being a good sport about what was likely a rather frustrating build to go against. Good for him.

I have a suspicion, that uThermal comments his game even when not recording.
I did the same thing, then got completely shit on my first few games so I uninstalled. : /
@@mjgx911 yup, similar experience tbh, got absolutely curbstomped twice. oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Same, I reinstalled but I think Ill just stick to coop haha
It’s one of those games that also really annoys you as well but it makes a victory so sweet as well.
I think I speak for many of us when I say Uthermal has gotten so many of us back into SC
i hate blizzard, i havent played starcraft in years but your energy and passion for the game makes me wanna see more videos! thanks for the entertainment
uThermy is the best thing Blizzard has brought to us since 2002.
SC2 is from back when blizzard were good. :D
One of their last good titles? I've had a lot of fun with D3 though, and hots is underrated imo. 🤷♂

I've watched this video 503 times and this strategy IS insane. I can safely confirm that this video is a uThermal classic
Thanks for confirming mate
Loved vs ThBeard
First half: uthermal like a cat playing with its prey
Second half: baited
My jaw dropped when the tank dodged the liberator shot inside the medivac lol. Amazing series so far
I really appreciate numbering the episodes in the title! Please keep doing that- thanks for the great content!
Agreed!
“Your opponent is never going to do what you think is logical”

Lol😂
I know you read the comments so just wanted to say thank you for the great content! Watching these challenges is the perfect combination of pro level gameplay and entertainment! Hope you're feeling better as well 👍
After all these years, this channel makes SCII look fresh and new. So, so entertaining.
Guys you won’t get a better SC2 TH-camr. Subscribe because he’s worth it.

uthermal: Hmm, from the gas timing, the movements of the queens, the overlord positioning and given their account name and portrait, this must be a 2 base 3 gas ravager all-in, which when executed perfectly will hit at 4:14.25 with 9 ravager and 3 roaches, with 4 more roaches 87% across the map. 🧠🧠🧠
diamond opponent: Ugh this reaper harass is such a pain... guess I'll build some roaches.... oops, forgot overlords, nonono come back queens, inject! Should I have built more drones?
uthermal, 5 seconds after all-in was expected, totally ready to defend: Hmm, so he didn't do the ravager all in... What else could it be? 🧠🧠🧠 Oh, only thing that fits this is a hidden gold base with long distance mining and nydus swarm host! 🧠🧠
Opponent 60 seconds later: turns up with fewer roaches than expected.

This series is awesome, the content keeps getting better and better! Keep it up dude
Appreciate the longer vids on days like this
this is one of your best episodes! loving this series keep it up Marc :)
The last game at around 26:50 it would have been so cool to see you use those two workers to complete the wall at his natural. Awesome games!
Subbed! Thanks for the great content Marc!
I never played SC2 a lot, but now im thinking about giving a serious try cause it seems really fun, love your content man ! Much love from France

1K Thumbs up. Glad to be able to help. Your content is legendary.
Subbed because the positive attitude and casual mastery of this game, a humble plat player of T-Z-P-Random
Proxy plantary seems like a sure build, love the fact you have a repairable giant cannon next to the enemys!
I love how you grin in trollish anticipation when talking about the upcoming gorgonzola tactics...
uThermal thinking 75k subs is going to be hard to reach before end of year, and here we are 2 months before that at 113k subs. Well done, it's earned.
Can we get these subscriptions dudes. Marc deserves it! Happy holidays, everyone. Algorithm.
