This is perfect! I love that:
1) These are games with stakes attached other than just the MMR
2) The "challenge" didn't hamper your ability to play to the fullest - it's not "use an inferior army comp" but just "stick to aggressive strategies"
3) You explained everything super clearly
Thanks a lot, it was a treat to watch!
Beating Byun while commentating. uThermal is on another level
Came here to say this. Absolutely WILD
Spoiler alert
except he lost every time
@@ReeYuuJee except for the one he won?
you lose about 5-10% of your performance if you are commentating as you play.
Which is quite big
Just wanted to say I love your commentary. It makes playing at your level seem almost easy.
Exactly why thermal is the goat. Hes played so many games that everything is instinctive. So logical and calm.
totally agree, I get hyped up by uThermals commentary thinking I can win like him and then I get crushed on the ladder.
He really does make it seem easy.
just like Harstem, just a bit more chill in a way
@@mr_confuse yeah harstem and thermal be the same. Both very good casters. I think thermal is better then harstem at playing the game but its all good fun.
Just as I was gettin ready to get off for the night, guess I'm gettin to bed an hour later xD
Always messing up my sleep but I love the videos
So glad I read this comment. I expected 30 minutes... I need to get to bed lol. I do like the longer videos but already really late here.
The commentary during gameplay, explaining your decisions in real time, is just stellar!
to comment while playing byun, and having your cat "hug" you haha, really shows your level of comfort and skill at playing. love watching.
your English is so good bro. like using "trounced" to flawlessly just speaks to how eloquent you are. random comment but being bilingual myself i'm impressed.
Ah perfect timing! My morning routine is usually get up, make coffee, grab a glas of orange juice, make müsli, start pc, open youtube and click on uthermal's new video ;) perfect start to the day
You make it looks so easy, as if playing Byun was like playing with your similar skilled friends for fun and chilling, but here it's high skilled competition lol.
For all interested in: you can type the glhf during the 3..2..1.. Countdown… this way, you avoid giving hints regarding cheese
Hehe, now that you're getting more known for doing this, I propose a bait-and-switch challenge:
Do rotating/random challenges as you did in previous tournaments, but after like 8 minutes your rules are lifted and you can go all out for the wins.
When people think they figured you out with your challenges... surprise!
Or, rather than lifting the limits, doing as fast a transition as he can to challenge 2. What would be the most jarring transition? Marines only to Ravens only?
yes please
I like series with random generators to pick the starting strategy for each game.
I'm beginning to see why Thermy is so successful. He does relentless attacks.
...in three places simultaneously...while scouting, macro-ing, commentating and plotting the grisly demise of the enemy.
To be able to play starcraft at this level must be incredibly fun. I don't play often anymore and I never played a lot but when I would play and do well, I'd always feel mentally drained after. You make it seem so casual lol.
Haven’t played StarCraft in maybe 8 years but I absolutely love watching these vids and miss it so much
I think the problem with doing something like "Cheese only" is that if you win one game with cheese the enemy is probably going to be wary of it the following games. Maybe you can have a challenge game, then your normal playthrough, and then if it reaches the third you can select what you want to do.
I really do want you to progress higher to see how the top pros react to your challenges.😄
You might as well say you're playing normal tryhard tournament style if that's what you're doing.
@@user-mv2nn6rw2w Nothing wrong with that mate. Aint just mmr at stake. Lol
@@divinesolar4606 There's nothing wrong with it except it's boring and goes against the style of video he's trying to make.
Maybe, for the audience, you should make an exception for players like byun and beat them with a high level macro game. It is not like you need to avoid the late game because there is no hope.
A big part of why I watch is to see thermy succeed.
You do have to keep in mind however that byun is also simply a very strong player and would beat Uthermal in a macro game more than 50% of the time... perhaps though a similar but better idea is to take a page out of Has's book...
Play economy cheese. Cheese aggressively first game, pretend to do that cheese again the second game but really play economy, perhaps even a proxy base.
good games as always. dont forget to take a sip and hydrate thermy when you feel your throat is toast
That was really fun, can't believe you took a match from Byun and almost win the series. Gl for the next time.
I love seeing you Terran mastery, but I can’t wait to see you try out toss and Zerg and get some tips from the master himself!!
Bro, gerald must be soooo tilted when he said gg and then watched the replay after to see you were still on two base all in LOOOOL.
Great commentary as usual uThermal!
Glad to see byun still around, felt like forever since i watched that wcs lol
Holy crap game 2. That game sense and killer instinct showing up in force
The high level commentary while playing is really incredible.
Just when I'm ready to go to bed this video pops up! Late night tonight!
uThermal taking a match from BYun : okay
uThermal taking a match from BYun, with cheese : WHAT THE
The fact that you are commenting is actually making you focus more. People misunderstand how much it helps to just make your mind automate the decisions, and it takes away part of the pressure you typically would have. In all honesty, it is making you a better gamer:)
This is so insaneley entertaining. Ive been suffering from anxiety and this puts me at rest.
Thanks for the show.
I barely played Sc2 and im learning a lot.
Might get in to it when i receive my new computer
>be a pro
>retire
>ahhh time to cheese the local tournament
I knew, that I liked uThermal, now i know that i LOVE uThermal and allll that he does...he used the word "TROUNCED"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an absolute legend!
You've quickly become my favorite Terran player. Thank you for the constant stream of entertainment!
LOL! Reaper Micro VS BYUN - "You dare use my own spells against me, Potter!??" :D
It's crazy that you are playing against Byun and comment while doing it. It's like another challenge. GG WP!
These are becoming my bed time story before I got to bed.
Amazing ability to provide entertaining and comprehensive commentary while playing such a focus intensive game
I’ve no idea what I’ve stumbled upon but loving the content and your commentary!
Sometimes I think "What am I doing, wasting time watching some guy on the Internet play a video game?" But, well, the reason I work and earn money is to be able to eat and continue living and the reason I eat and continue living is for the things like this that bring joy. Game developers and TH-cam content creators and others like them literally help make life worth living.
And there's this sense that Mark would be willing to be friends with every one of us if he could. I mean it's impossible, there's not enough time in the day for him to even respond to every comment, let alone anything more. It's amazing if he even tries to read all that many of them. But he claims to read them and if he does, then this is actually a two way street to some extent. There's a kind of relationship here, even if it's not anything more than producer/fan.
This is another way of thinking about "the Internet Of Things." There's are these exchanges that have value. They will be remembered, they will be treasured, to an extent, in their way. Even if there is no direct contact, still, there's a sense of connection and community; a shared history. And things like that are worthwhile. They help build value into life.
The ESL videos, and now this set of videos are my favorite content you are putting out right now. Hope you're having fun with all these!!
Btw we need a uthermal soundboard
-This [insert unit] is fragging!
-Im going to build [insert building] with this bad boy over there
And or course the obligatory *guyz!!*
: )
In the next ESL cup, for the second/third game of a mirror you should use your opponents build from the previous game. The ultimate mind game.
That was an epic cheese run, well done my man!
First time watching, these were so good! Really cool you do these each week
Probably the most entertaining video I've watched on TH-cam this entire year!
Great job man
This has been such a great couple videos
"that's about a million units lost there." 🤣🤣😂😅
Great series, it's very enjoyable watching you do these commentated runs. I like having the parts split, it's easier to keep up with. I'm hoping that you keep having fun, and playing loose. People shouldn't expect you to win whilst you are commentating, doing silly stuff and not pro training.
wow, I've never felt so baited. I watched P1 thinking it wasn't going to be too long not realizing there was a P2 but didn't realize it was an hour long, its 1 am and I have work in the morning.
Great matches and awesome to see you play someone like Byun with one of these challenges!! Makes for great content :)
that hellion damage on the probes was disgusting! but I could not look away
I cant belive you were that casual about beating byun
Amazing how calmly you can talk while playing Byun
Marc, I don’t know how you are so awesome
Thank you for making 60 minutes out of 9 hour work day bearable
Tried copying your build orders every episode.
My apm limits my thoughts.
The simple fact that you can multitask commentary while playing god mode is simply unreal
Keep up the great youtube content!!!
Kid woke me up just got him back in bed and looked for something to watch while I make sure he doesn't wake up his mom.
I'm stood in my kitchen eating cheese as you keep saying cheese. Coincidence? I think not.
There is a small random factor to unit attack speed in SC2, so units sometimes attack faster and sometimes slower while keeping the same average. There was a patch where they explicitly tuned this value on the Battle Cruiser, because the attack speed variation was so high you could hear the varying shooting speed. TLDR the winner should be random XD
I don't play this game but your genius just gained you a sub.
Your videos bring so much entertainment to my days. I look forward to your posts every single day. Your next challenge should be playing some DotA2 like the Grubster
Wasn't expecting the medicac, expecting a raven.... B...y.....u.....n. Lol
So true.
I always do a two base all in. I'm not really trying to, it's just usually I either win or lose by the time I have two bases.
Next week: try to bait them into thinking you're doing one of your challenges, and do whatever you can to capitalize on that.
I've never played SC in my life but I like the videos haha
I was hoping for the banshee rush cheese though I have no idea if it would have held up.
Maybe that's not technically cheesy
Game 2 vs Byun felt like a game of Tennis. just awesome
Here's next week twist for the esl, an extreme try hard pro gamer attempt to win the weekly
omfg that 2nd game was incredible.
18:45 it REALLY looks like it says that he has 425 supply, had to do a double take pretty hard lol
banger series!!!
Am I the only one who uses just the commentary as asmr to sleep?
Bro, at 28:00 I figured you'd go full sky terran like your previous vids, haha
If you barracks proxy gets scouted, why not just lift and bring it into his base. Then go for a factory build :P total mind games.
18:05 ... supreme victory
You are really on another level, as well is your content! Thank you!
_I'm already getting some bad RNG so this is perfect_
-said nobody at a tournament ever-
Seeing you take a game off of byun was awesome! Normally I love watching him smash other pros, you looked really solid
Congrats on beating Byun!
Really impressed on ur multitasking ability. Commentating and beating byun at the same time, so casual lol
You are on another level, man. Impressive.
World class... Always fun and informative. Thermy = Lil' Sun Tzu of SCII.
1 hour of cheese! Yesss
Great videos, great commentary
All of these are amazing games, I don't think you should get so upset over losing to a top player so much. I also must say, that I am amazed how successful you're using liberators in PvP which is a unit I usually considered only useful in PvE. Cheers for all those great and amazing games!
Maybe not next one, but i'd really enjoy to see a full on tryhard run. I really like your challange videos, but once in a while i'd be cool to see just a straight up "normal" game.
RIGHT! Just when i finished this "cheese every game" series (if you will) i saw the "how many GM can i beat i a raw!" TYVM that made me so happy :D Imma go and watch it right now! :)
It would be hilarious to see the ebay rush in an ESL cup
That moment he is shitting on my hero Byun.
What was the proxy 2 rax you did against him? Was that the marine+medivac where you got an "xd" out of him, I think on waterfall was it? Or some other vid?
I watched and enjoyed both parts of the video, just massive respect for pro-starcraft players, no idea how to play this game on such a high level with such speed. I play very hardcore strategy games but i like it slow, time to analyse and prepare! Was a pleasure to watch and follow the talk in the video! GG
You can do the commentary after since we like to see you performing
in tvt what about reactor vikings attack with 4 with siege tank 2 base all in i member alpha star used it to beat beastyqt, i think raynor used it vs beastyqt too
Happily uHe doesn't want to stick to all cheeses, because he would be a normal Dutch farmer then. Who wants a normal ( gecertificeerde kaas boer) playing Starcraft?
"I want my sent beat his sent"
disclaimer: sarcastic comedy vibe (all above) - 3 family of chees are enough for any post milk production: standard (standard holland chees?), chedda (caucasian/mid-eastern), feta, salt feta (greek/midterranian) and maybe flowchees of some (by)kind; the rest are the perverted french chees, another universe "bleu, brie, cammbr, encapsul... attend,.. j'rapelle, chizé
Gerald was salty af game 2 lol
I'm sorry uThermal but the only time I'll ever root against you is when it's ByuN. My absolute favorite player of all time. I've loved him before he was the champion, simply for the fact that he's even still considered an underdog.
It's ZERO percent that Byun won't do drops. uThermy clearly knows it. Why did he let Byun to drop to pocket base in the 2nd game. Very late turrets and didn't cover the area.
That was fun to watch
in the end 58:22 why would you go 3d cc after seeing the baracks though? what's the logic behind?
I wonder if the guy after the first match wached the replay and learned your proxy location approx. so that he scouted it so well in the second match.
Lets gooo a treat before I go to sleep
Poor gerald
Damn good stuff amigo!
2 early banshees by Byun would've completely destroyed you.
He made Vikings real early so the same wouldn't have worked against him.
Though they would have dealt with his Siege Tanks quite nicely as he kept sieging them around the map and leaving them. 😉
Good games. 👍
