Watching you grind out a Terran with Sentries was epic. You could feel the frustration and the "WTF"'s coming from the opponent every time you send in a wave of sentries, or he finds a hidden base.
you are the only content creator on all of youtube that wouldnt spread this out into 8 different 15m in videos. Took me a few days but i got through it all. You really are a gem in this dark world thermy
so what exactly is better in a 2,5hr video you watch over 5 days instead of 5 30min videos you also watch over 5 days? it has literally no benefits and people are more likely to not start the 2 hr video at all
i would start them but if i get bored in between because content is not fun enough or too tedious to watch for long i would skip or watch something else after x amount of time. so if you don't spam 5-10 vids with stupidly uncreative intro + outros, always the same style that's when i stop watching at all because it's too annoying to skip every time in short increments... i want to lay back more than 5 min. :D@@rigdigwus

I saw that the Mothership is greyed out and it gave me a terrible idea for a mothership rush. Use the motherships recall ability to recall a bunch of probes and warp prisms into the enemies main. Use the warp prisms to rapidly setup cannons (skipping the pylons) and protect the structures with the mothership's spells and cloak until you have a fortress in their base.
@@zerkmerk8257 exactly what avatar did tbh. But you really have no rights to call these grandmaster players noobs if you wouldn't be able to beat them with at least a normal strategy
@@aleksandrssprogis8895uthermal is not a noob, I would never call him one. But he beats up on people way under his level and then brags about it for views. If you want to cheer that on that's totally fine, but it's true.
@@zerkmerk8257 he doesn't brag about it at all, some of them could beat him and you need to play against better player than you to become better. Stop being so sensitive. He know they are good and never insult them.
29:57 MaNa plays mass sentries, and yes: You should definitely get attack upgrades for them. and chrono them. Attack upgrades make a really big difference for sentries.
wow, im super impressed that whichever "monobattle" you're playing, you always manage to keep your unspent low. except for the gas heavy units, but even then you spam out cannon+battery and expand like a madperson. WP! awesome stuff!
Would love to see a sentry + high templar to GM. Imagine throwing a bunch of hallucinated archons and real archons at your enemy and they don't know which is which XD
That Sentry game made me cry with joy..😂 Best thing I've ever seen. The Oracle game was cool too, I use a similar build at times, and I know how devastating mass Oracles can be..😂
You have somehow captured all the nostalgia for playing single player Starcraft, all the strategies we would have loved to have tried out ... but you doing it at a professional PvP level 😂
Hooooly crap, I know this has been requested a few times but I didn't expect it so soon! This is an INSANE accomplishment, can't believe you brought it home. GG WP Marc, you legend!!
I liken these videos to when somebody puts a brick in a washing machine and the machine self destructs trying to get a 35 minute permanent press cycle on the brick.
The skill and adaptability.... with commentary and explaining your intentions and thoughts as well as ways to defeat your strats ..... all while kickin' @$$ .... Ultra Bangin'.
I think my favorite thing about all of uThermal's videos is how EXCITED he is about the strats, SC2, just everything! Thank you for the energy and positivity :D
cannot believe this channel's growth it's tripled since i subscribed, congratulations to you! also if you've never seen beastyqt's sentry to grandmaster series, it's definitely worth the watch!
This was awesome and great job thermal! I also did an all-in sentries push once myself except I instead used all my energy on making it look like I had a like 6 Archons and 10 Colossus with all my Sentries they just insta GG'd and left the game without actually trying to defend against it lol.
I think the reason mass sentries are surprisingly good comes down to density. They don't do a lot of damage individually, but you can pack a lot of them into a relatively small area. Combined with forcefields, they get the job done.
Yes I think you are right, seeing as you can use the FF to take a series of fights where you heavily outnumber the forces that are able to return fire. I think their stats are also not as bad as people think because we see the sentry as a "non combat" unit.
You don't understand at which point sentries are bad, beating GM with sentries is insane. I was diamond 2 5 years ago, and I could only beat platinium 2 with mass sentries. This is super hard. For example I could beat easily diamond 3 with mass stalkers. Sentries just die against everything. You need to do so much damage to the economy, this is insane, and he didn't even use a prism or observers like beasty 🤯 This is just insane
40:06 The force field over the minerlas hahahaha, too good, like the weekly mutation in Co Op 🤣🤣🤣 . I need to see this challenge with Zerg, I hope you do it one day.
well done!! I really enjoy your content.. I played SC many years ago but it was too hard.. once in a wile I like watching still some videos of pro players and since I discovered you It's been fantastic! thank you!!
Ah yes the legendary Trippin’ Balls build. Straight from the hay day of Novawar Says on LAGTV. A build so absurd and so undeserving of victory, but so satisfying when it happens anyway!
I knew how the Immortal game was going to go before watching it because I've done it before. This is a massively underrated when unit when played. When opponents see you commit hard with a ground unit that initially beats their army, they often make the mistake of getting base defense to stall. Problem is that is exactly what Immortals rip through so they lose even harder. And the proper way to play immortals is recognizing that you kill buildings so fast so you should be looking to shut down production and tech/upgrades as a minimum to effectively trade. Of course pylon depowering is huge too and you should always spot it and do exactly that to stop the inevitable switch to Zealots from gateways.
Sometime in the night I opened this video in my sleep and I had very Starcraft themed dreams. Most prominent was cheesing with photon cannons but putting them on the sides of cliffs so people wouldn't see until they went over or around the edge. Was quite strange but not unpleasant. Video is better a second time now that I am awake.
Amazing content, wow! These games are so awesome. (I think you should release challenges like this one game at a time by the way - I'd be excited for the next game every day.)
That sentry game was beautiful. Insane that you pulled it off without allowing warp prisms. The oracles game reminds me of the ZvT tactic where you wait for the Terran to move out and then backstab with mass ling bane. Terran loses a game losing amount of workers and need to do counter damage. But if they look away at the wrong moment to defend at home, their army evaporates to banes.
Protip: not only can you see the shape of the unit being built in the Stargate, you can look at the light blink pattern for Terran buildings to see which units are being built from the starport, barracks, and factory.
Also about 54:18, Oracles did use to be stronger, they had a bug which made them better against unit concentrations (which Zerg are prone to do) by dealing damage instantly after killing the last unit (due to the code of it being an ability and not an attack) instead of waiting for the cooldown.
"This has been one of the most difficult challenges in this video" I feel like you've said It like 10 times, and you know what, i believe you. All these games are completely crazy
holy crap that sentry only match was beyond epic. even though you (more or less) implied that you were going to win, I still felt that this was extremely impossible throughout the match .Man... what a rush!
@uThermal I saw a streamer named Maximus Black from LifesaGlitchTV, I think that's where the vid was, had a sentry only build he called Trippin Balls. It was pretty funny. Congrats on this challenge completion! :D
Who wins : A few Sentry bois or Stimmed Bio with Medivacs Tanks Liberators and Ghosts?
crazy game fun to watch
Be honoust, did you expect to win before starting the game??

totally right!
the thing is, with some creators its like "oh no a 1hour video..."
with uthermal it's like "YES a 2 hour+ long video!"
so what exactly is better in a 2,5hr video you watch over 5 days instead of 5 30min videos you also watch over 5 days?
it has literally no benefits and people are more likely to not start the 2 hr video at all
@@rigdigwusi have to save 5 videos in Watch later instead of 1, It s more efficient for me

What do you mean, I constantly see creators do 1+hr challenge content, literally on the daily.

He probably felt going against that one character that when you thought is dead there is still a next form.
"You may have killed one of me, but did you kill all of me?"
that was the most beautiful sentry only game I have ever seen. even better than the attempts professional protoss players have made!
Did u gorget sentry only to grandmaster from beastyqt ? One of the best serie so far
I almost cried imagining 5 blue flame hellions the whole time
@@andrewferguson6901 force fields go brrr
@@Amoeby Motto Motto! »Motto« »Motto« »RIKIBA!!!« =D

Imagine being on the ladder and losing to sentries-only in a macro game. Wild game.
that game was wild XD
Honestly, I would just be impressed.
Mass sentry game was awesome, i expected a quick defeat but that game was wild 🤣

Beating a grand master with sentries only is not an easy feat, he did say he played 150+ games….
29:57 MaNa plays mass sentries, and yes: You should definitely get attack upgrades for them. and chrono them. Attack upgrades make a really big difference for sentries.
What upgrades to get for sentries? All of them! For such a weak unit you need every boost you can get.
This is one of the greatest 2 hour videos I have ever watched. Absolutely love it Marc.
Not sure if most people watched all the way, but I did!
SO DID I!! Mindblowing TBH, I don’t think I’ve EVER seen such masterful instruction and performance (all while casting every game’s commentary 🤯🤯)!!
would have been a good idea to use halucinated colosus to draw the tank fire into the mineral line at 40:55
I kept wishing he'd do more with hallucinations and tank splash damage.
What I love about this series is how much it highlights what each unit can and can't do.
Can't wait to see you do this with Zerg!
Mind blowing!
wow, im super impressed that whichever "monobattle" you're playing, you always manage to keep your unspent low. except for the gas heavy units, but even then you spam out cannon+battery and expand like a madperson. WP! awesome stuff!
its like a movie, thanks dude
That pure sentries game was EPIC!
Wow. Sentries only game was absolutely glorious! Marc - Cheese Daddy!
Pure DT chaos. What a laugh. "We are moving across the map with one stalker and two templars" XD
Would love to see a sentry + high templar to GM. Imagine throwing a bunch of hallucinated archons and real archons at your enemy and they don't know which is which XD
I was disappointed yesterday when no video came out, but this more than makes up for it.
Marc spoils us with the amount/frequency of content he puts out.
Be patient, and you will be rewarded! :D
I got scared when there was no video.
@@vikosushonestly, ur right. I definitely got spoiled with the daily uploads on second channel, then his return.

This episode was magnificent. Thank you Thermy!
2 hours 18 minutes. uThermal casually uploading a full movie thinking we wouldn't notice

Holy smokes the mad lad actually f'in did it. Cheers Marc, you absolute omega chad!!!!!
I think my favorite thing about all of uThermal's videos is how EXCITED he is about the strats, SC2, just everything! Thank you for the energy and positivity :D
I wana see a "Hydralisk to grandmaster" series with the new hyrdalisk...I haven't seen you lose at all with them since the patch, they always dominate
One of the most impressive display of skills I have ever seen, Sentry was insane.
Chef kiss, what episode I love the chaotic DTs
very nice video Marc! loved the sentry fight lol. Cant imagine the effort you hard to put into this
Thank you for commentating this whole video. Great vid.
That carrier only made me happy haha. Clean game, mindgames to perfection, and carriers have always been my favorite unit.
cannot believe this channel's growth it's tripled since i subscribed, congratulations to you! also if you've never seen beastyqt's sentry to grandmaster series, it's definitely worth the watch!
one of my fave videos u have ever made for sure, some really eye opening micro here.. like even more than usual

nice man!
it took me almost as many sessions to watch the video as it took you to record it :D
really enjoyed it!
Holy cow, that Sentry game was amazing! Kudos!
woooooow i cannot believe the sentry's won (you did). i am still shocked and pauze the video!!!!
At some point I believe uThermal would win with observers only :D
"no unit, not even probes challenge"
Insane dedication! Well played!
u were right that sentry game was the single best game of sc2 i have ever seen
28:44 I love when uThermals accent comes through thick. haha.
Great vid! I'm a fan of the length, kept me entertained on the can for multiple sessions 👌
40:06 The force field over the minerlas hahahaha, too good, like the weekly mutation in Co Op 🤣🤣🤣 . I need to see this challenge with Zerg, I hope you do it one day.
being me back to old Day9 monobattle days
I watched the full video in one go and enjoyed the hell out of it. I was sad yesterday that there was no video but you compensated it tenfold
love watching your videos. they really encourage me to keep trying in star craft❤
Finally finished the whole video, yeah, that sentry game was wild. And I like how you managed to disrupt that terran one base all-in
2.5 hour uThermal Protoss video?! Yes, please! The sentry game is freaking hilarious. Amazing stuff man!
well done!! I really enjoy your content.. I played SC many years ago but it was too hard.. once in a wile I like watching still some videos of pro players and since I discovered you It's been fantastic! thank you!!
I love you so much uthermal!!
Thank you. Loved every minute!!!
That is an amazing video that must have taken an amazing effort!
Ok, that was amazing !!! Thanks for the vid !

So fun! A highlight reel of some funny moments from the failed attempts could be good too
These games were brilliant. Well done and so much fun to watch.
Your vids are so fun to watch! even for someone that doesnt even play SC2 (played SC1 maybe 25 years ago when it came out)
This series was amazing! So freaking impressive and entertaining!
sentry game was insane! All the games are very exiting.
Queens only, with nydus and prevent base building with creep.
Been playing SC for 26 years, love your videos sir!
Protip: not only can you see the shape of the unit being built in the Stargate, you can look at the light blink pattern for Terran buildings to see which units are being built from the starport, barracks, and factory.
That's some next level knowledge
Wow more info can be taken from Terran then, as P only has Stargate info
Wait..... WHAT?!
Whaaaat???
Is that legit? I haven't found a source that corroborates it.
Absolutely fantastic video! That was 2 hours of pure pleasure!
This is the most beautiful full length motion picture I’ve seen all year
I think you are the legend. Watching you play makes me laugh. The stuff you get away with against your opponents makes my brain hurt.

Thank you for a very entertaining and interesting video!
That was very cool, definitely looking forward to the zerg one if you ever manage it:)
The sentry game in particular was incredible to see.
Same here. I dare him to win 10 games as zerg using Ultralisk only. No other unit.
This was wild! Congratulations 🎉
That DT game was a treat. Thanks for that!

Gotta feel a little sorry for the guy who got beat by mass sentries AND mass disruptors. After those games he probably felt like uninstalling
incredible video. well done!
dude the sentry game is so epic, wonderful stuff thermy
Watched the whole video. Love these! Can't wait for Zerg!
This dude is sick. I'm afraid that one day challenges are all done, and he decides something like, "win a starcraft match without even playing"
He could do it too. Probably lots of mind games 🤣😂🤣 I
I love watching Sentry challenges. That was my favorite series from BeastyQT.
I miss him and Husky sooo much!!!
