I really like how you did this video. Obviously, live commentary during your regular content is cool. However, for something like this, i think doing the voice over is really nice!
Agreed 100%. I've noticed that he plays slightly faster when he doesn't have to commentate _during_ play. So for that reason, it's very much worth doing post-game commentary.
Actual competent professional gaming where the games are not just "for fun" but the competitors are actually trying their best plus the crazy random race = you get my respect sir, best series. I wish it a lot of success and will watch with pleasure!
That was awesome man, and I mean both the game skill and the quality of the video. I loved how you edited it to summarized high points of the slower matches to focus on a few exciting games. = )
Amazing! Congrats on this achievement! Your zerg has become exceptional. Now to just take a creep spreading class with Serral :) Please continue to do this approach. Although, I would've loved to see one of the last Hydralisk/zergling games! Is this something we can pay for to see in discord? Thanks!
Awesome video, Marc. It’s great seeing a video of you competing without the additional overhead of live commentary. +1 for voiceover on these! All the best for the next stage of the competition.
Congratulations you silly goose! I love seeing you play hard and do a voiceover! This is so awesome! I've been watching the channel for a while and feel like I've watched your zerg / random really evolve into top level play! I'm so happy for you!
This was really good, one game from each made for good pacing and you doing a voice over fits really well with the style of content. Good job qualifying.
Congrats Marc! 1 from each series is awesome but I don't think anyone here would complain if you did decide to do voiceover of more games xD Your double ling drop looks super refined now btw, nicely executed and really clean.
I'm so happy that you finally decided to take the leap and do a serious random event. I doubt anyone minds you doing a voice-over, especially when we get to witness history!
Congrats, this is awesome! Been watching for a while and I'm really proud of how far you've come as random! Glad you went with the voiceover. Love hearing your thought process. I haven't played since.. 10 years.. you inspired me to get back online and proxy hatch / spine crawler rush some folks. Managed to get a couple wins! Thanks again thermy.
I also agree that doing voiceover later so that you could play at your best is great. I would also encourage you to make separate videos for each round of the tournaments. I am not sure you want to do that level of effort - but maybe if you hired a person to do the video editing and you just do the commentary?
I've been watching your videos for a year or so and I'm so happy for your qualification. Congrats! This was the best video I've watched so far. One thing on the format, I liked the games that you voiceovered, but would like to see more of the game (like 2x what you showed on some of them). Again, everything is great, but having slightly higher amount of highlights for the voiceover games would make the video perfect!
Huge congratulations on this amazing achievement! We will be cheering for you in the main event! :) Great choice to make a voiceover, loved it! You are the man
0:42 "Ziomek" in polish means "buddy/friend", your pronounciation of his nickname was really funny for me 😂 I completely understand that you said it that way tho xd I can't find a way to explain in English how to say it correctly ;) Those are our special "zi", "si", "ci" and so on 😅 Great video as always!
I wasn't paying attention at first when he said he played "ZaioMech" and when I actually looked at the screen later and saw the name I had a huge dissonance :D
Yeah... you move much faster in-game when you're not commentating at the same time. It was very much worth doing it after the fact. GG man, you're really an amazing player. I used to play SC/BW when I was younger... never in any sort of competitive capacity, but mainly just for fun. I only just purchased SC2 yesterday, after completing all of the free-to-play content.. and I'm really starting to get into the whole SC2 scene! I love your tutorial, and experimental/challenge videos. Can't wait to see more!
Congrats Thermy, great vid. Listening to the thought process in hindsight is super helpful as a player that's trying to get better, as opposed to the usual live commentary.
Definitely agree with a lot of the comments that you doing commentary later so you can focus on the game while you're playing it is much better, we wanna see you do your best & be less stressed in the moment. Qualified, les goooooo! Good luck mate!
I mean... that is ridiculous. It's crazy that you still have that instinct and skillset to compete at this level, especially with random! Congrats man, what an achievement.
Looking forward to more content like this! Its nice to see you spread your wings and fly after ground stomping so many matches in early x to GM series and stopping when the build is holding you back, not your skills and natural talents of mind gaming and microing
Live commentary gives us insight into everything you're doing in the moment (because you're really good at live commentary), but voiceovers give us your hindsight into things you didn't realize while playing which can be really entertaining too. I'll watch either way haha.
Great job qualifying for esl masters, you made history ! I wonder what could explain the over representation of protoss in all those tournaments, even the main event... in theory, the population of pros and semi-pros should be pretty even so what happened to all those Terrans and Zergs ? (and Random as well from now on ^^)
18:30 When Beasty first ran into MaxPax and became aware of the MaxPax PvT build, one thing Beasty reckoned was that you could fake the build by simply building your gate nearby, but not actually proxied. Nothing ever really came of it, and it's always bothered me, because it seems like it should be a thing. I don't think foolery is being utilized to it's maximum potential.
Great amazing acievement. Great content! I really love that you switch things up more. The unit only to GM series were great but it's great you do different content now. I really think you should have shown the very last game in full lenght though! 😉
In tournaments, please use your best cheeses. Don't make me watch an episode of "how hard can I make it for myself". If you win, we get more episodes... it's that too much to ask for?
Actually when I was playing StarCraft as pro, I only have 1 built and I force opposite players to play my style. It was just 1 gate dragoons into Reaver drop, micro crazily. Opponent has no choice but to play predictably on my style. And I perfected the micro to a point I feel, I don’t need a second built 😅 So when you say you only 2 built, it is because you played it so well to a point that opponent can only play react
uthermal you should totally try a build where you just go for a bunch of immortals and high templar i think if your opponent doesnt play air you will just dominate cus the templar are so good against marries or hydras and immortals just counter everything else but also super big fan of the voiceover 1000% a good idea so you can play your best
Big fan of the decision to do a voiceover. I know it's more time to make, but knowing that you're playing at 100% makes it much better!
Agreed, much less frantic commentating too
@@TravisHi_YT He's never really frantic, even when playing top tier players
It's awesome. Like the director commentary for my favorite hit film lol
Agreed
Look, this officially puts you as a Random player in the top 50 on Aligulac, and the only one in the top 150. Absolutely insane job, mate!
I really like how you did this video. Obviously, live commentary during your regular content is cool. However, for something like this, i think doing the voice over is really nice!
Ya! Totally, I'm sure lots of us UThermal fans are on board with this!
Agreed 100%.
I've noticed that he plays slightly faster when he doesn't have to commentate _during_ play. So for that reason, it's very much worth doing post-game commentary.
Congrats from 50 year old fan! This channel is the best thing to happen to SC in years.

Awesome video, Marc. It’s great seeing a video of you competing without the additional overhead of live commentary. +1 for voiceover on these! All the best for the next stage of the competition.
Loved the editing in this! You highlighted the important bits but saved more time for the interesting games! Oh and CONGRATS🎉🎉🎉
I hope you do. Random has so much potential for weird games
Congratulations you silly goose! I love seeing you play hard and do a voiceover! This is so awesome! I've been watching the channel for a while and feel like I've watched your zerg / random really evolve into top level play! I'm so happy for you!
An absolute banger man! This shows your mastery from all the hard work you’ve done for your YT Channel. Amazing Uthermal!
This was really good, one game from each made for good pacing and you doing a voice over fits really well with the style of content. Good job qualifying.

The answer: yes
Lets go thermy
I also agree that doing voiceover later so that you could play at your best is great. I would also encourage you to make separate videos for each round of the tournaments. I am not sure you want to do that level of effort - but maybe if you hired a person to do the video editing and you just do the commentary?
Agree, I’m down to watch the whole series, of it takes too much time, I am also good with modest editing, just clipping dead time from between games.
I've been watching your videos for a year or so and I'm so happy for your qualification. Congrats! This was the best video I've watched so far. One thing on the format, I liked the games that you voiceovered, but would like to see more of the game (like 2x what you showed on some of them).

Simply amazing. Loved this style of video too with the voiceover for the competition. Good luck as always my friend!
Huge congratulations on this amazing achievement! We will be cheering for you in the main event! :) Great choice to make a voiceover, loved it! You are the man

Congrats! I don’t even play SC anymore but follow all your videos bc of how entertaining you are. Let’s go for the full win with random!
Protoss: 17
Terran: 7
Zerg: 7
Random: uThermal
Those were some great games. Congrats on qualifying!
HUGE congrats man!
I always hoped you would kind of go back to play competitively and I am very happy it worked out this way!
Congrats and excellent video. Fun to see something different and you seemed to really love it.
Love the format, been hoping you would do something like this (for the tournaments) for a long time 😊
Love the videos man, playing as random has some very interesting advantageous effects as long as you're good with all!
gratz for qualifying
I mean... that is ridiculous. It's crazy that you still have that instinct and skillset to compete at this level, especially with random! Congrats man, what an achievement.
Congrats! Good to see you have success!
Looking forward to more content like this! Its nice to see you spread your wings and fly after ground stomping so many matches in early x to GM series and stopping when the build is holding you back, not your skills and natural talents of mind gaming and microing
Congrats ! Had not look the Drogo games since I wanted to see it from your POV. Well done :)
Live commentary gives us insight into everything you're doing in the moment (because you're really good at live commentary), but voiceovers give us your hindsight into things you didn't realize while playing which can be really entertaining too. I'll watch either way haha.
Perfect decision for Post Commentary over this specific video. Would love to see more in it's ilk.
Can’t wait to see more of this tournament from FPV. Congrats!
Honesty the voice over feels almost like you are live casting if that makes sense. Great job Marc!!! You are a legend!
Congratz! And thank you for a summary from all the games.
Great job qualifying for esl masters, you made history !
I wonder what could explain the over representation of protoss in all those tournaments, even the main event... in theory, the population of pros and semi-pros should be pretty even so what happened to all those Terrans and Zergs ? (and Random as well from now on ^^)
Great video! Gl in the Masters!
that was amazing! congrats!!

Big congratulations! Wish you the best on the main event. Let's see the power of random
Congrats! As much as I enjoy the sillier content, your serious games are my favourite
Awesome accomplishment. Congrats dude!
Congrats uThermal! Great job qualifying!
Wish you good luck in the upcoming matches!
Congrats my dude!

Mark: "I'm not just going to get all the probes"
My mind: "But the women and children too"
Your awesome man, thank for all the videos. Amazing to se your commitment to the game
Congrats Marc!!! Retired and still making history!!!! You the man?
this is HUGE! congratz
Awesome performance! You've made it! 🎉🎉
Congratulations on this massive achievement! I always believed you could it with your insane random play!
Nice uThermal! Way to go! Finally your redemption arc has begun! Really happy for you
Uthermal putting random unit in random places is the fun i've been looking for
Great games! Congrats on being the first Random in top 150 :) Now off to beat Harstem! 💪💪
Love this format! I always love to see how far you can get when you go full try hard
Rapidly grew into my favourite youtuber! Love your vids and enthusiasm.
congratz!!! play your own way GL
Congratulations on this big milestone. 🎉😊🎉
Congrats, what a challenge, so far you have made it thru, impressive.
In tournaments, please use your best cheeses. Don't make me watch an episode of "how hard can I make it for myself". If you win, we get more episodes... it's that too much to ask for?
Would've loved to get full matches for the final few rounds! Builds up more anticipation to whether you qualify or not!
Nicely done Marc!! LET'S GOOOO!
Uthermal: can I become the best random player ever?
Also uthermal: I don’t use control groups on my off races
Let’s GOoooooooooo!!!! Hell ya bro. So glad to see it. But congrats! Will be cheering for you.
Congratulations, Marc! That's an amazing accomplishment even if you were a little lucky with getting Terran more frequently. glhf!
Thermal! I like this way of doing videos... Just showing us the big moments with you telling us what's up.... So good! ❤❤❤❤❤
wow, stunning! Amazing job!, much luck to you!
ESL, is this where you were in 2016 ?
Hoping to see more of the games, but I understand why you don't voiceover each one. Grats on getting another uthermal achievement notch. Very cool.
Good luck Thermy! We want you as the champ!!! :D
we're all rooting for you uthermal
Congrats! I'm so excited for you!
you are amazing bro best of luck cuz you got the skill!
Actually when I was playing StarCraft as pro, I only have 1 built and I force opposite players to play my style.
It was just 1 gate dragoons into Reaver drop, micro crazily. Opponent has no choice but to play predictably on my style. And I perfected the micro to a point I feel, I don’t need a second built 😅
So when you say you only 2 built, it is because you played it so well to a point that opponent can only play react
Nice work! Love you accomplished this
Good job and great video! Uthermy to Rank 1 at the WC with Random!
congrats my brother, you deserve it.
LETS GOOO UTHERMAL! MAKIN MOVES! MAKING HISTORY! GLGL HFHF!
Awesome work man, congrats on being the first! :D
massive cajones man GJ and congrats
Congrats thermy. good luck in the main tourney
uthermal you should totally try a build where you just go for a bunch of immortals and high templar i think if your opponent doesnt play air you will just dominate cus the templar are so good against marries or hydras and immortals just counter everything else but also super big fan of the voiceover 1000% a good idea so you can play your best
I think uThermal can be the best random player in the world. Knowledge of cheese and good micro is so much more powerful when playing random.
No doubts you do it Thermy, we believeeee in you!!!
I'm so proud of you! congrats!
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." Very impressive. Congrats!
WP, good luck for next games 🙂
+1 on voiceover later! I would suggest, if possible and you have a caster friend, to have a caster cast your games with you as a co-caster!
Holy moly - congratulations on making history!!
Looking forward to seeing you as the first random winner of the eu masters
you killed it man. congrats
GG WP! 👍
Now it is time to wait until ESL Masters for the mayhem brought by a random player. ^^
Good luck and most of all, have fun.😃
