@@naomisleepyz4703 When you have so many expansions, hearing rapid "Nuclear Launch Detected" every few seconds in rapid succession, your going to watch to quickly scan all your bases to minimize losses that could majorly cripple you. Even if the nuke is wasted on nuking a critter no where near your opponent it is still mentally damaging to them. Eventually the opponent might think their opponent is just messing with them and disregard those warnings. However if they decide to ignore the launch it could be a real launch that does actual damage, so most constantly scan all their bases looking for those circles, but you need to watch your army to make sure it doesn't walk into the enemy army. So now your just constantly wasting time trying to not get nuked, while attacking your opponent. Launching multiple all over the map also means when several are real, they will pull back from that base they spotted a nuke at but forget that 5 more nukes were launched which are also on bases. So is general there isn't an exact timestamp it's just a prolonged all match psychological warfare to make them never not paranoid.
As a fan of giant robots, that Thor game was just art. Can't remember having ever seen something as simultaneously hilarious and terrifying as a conga line of Thors stretching across the whole map like that.
This is like a full length movie of the best of uThermal... It doesn't get boring because of the audio voiceover and massive variation in builds, playstyles, and difficulty. I'd stick this up in front of suggested videos for new subscribers. Hope you're thinking of making more videos of voiced-over compilations of you're other challenges as well. You always seemed to start doubting your chances while starting some of your series with some set of ridiculous rules, then you'd discover surprising new strats, and inevitably climb higher in MM than you had ever predicted. So I think it'd be fun to watch your interesting matches at the various skill levels for bronze to GM, while you're explaining the progression of certain builds... ... and also showing a few matches recorded more recently.... games where you used the highlighted styles, you figured out during the challenge, against pro-gamers in competitions or while playing on the ladder.
What an absolute banger video! 2 hours of entertainment.. better than any movie 🍿 How do I like this more than once? Please do this with the other races 🙏
That was an incredible video, when I clicked on it, I didn't realize that it was over 2 hours long, and when I did see that I almost backed out, but since it was one of yours it seemed like a safe bet, and it paid off! You sir are a maniac! I can't believe that you put that entire video together, that had to be quite a lot of dedication to get it finished!
I've been playing Starcraft since it came out in 98. This was definitely one of the most fun and entertaining pieces of Starcraft content I've ever seen. Your commentary and knowledge besides the shenanigans themselves made it that much better.
It would be really cool if you could add a counter that tells us how many losses you had before you managed to get a win with each of these in similar future videos. Then we know which unit really is OP 😂
It looks like it's not so hard, because players he killed are reacting at his strategies pretty good (vs ghosts they spotted almost all nukes, vs banshees they made fenix, etc) which means it doesn't requires a specially stupid opponent to perform
@@АльбионФармерcorrect anyone and everyone makes mistakes its just whether or not you can capitalize on them. The thing is you have fewer avenues of capitalization when limited in such a way
One of the greatest SC videos of all time. Ive already watched it twice. The closing commentary on the hellion is *chefs kiss*. "The hellion only cheese not only works, but Destroys."
Adding the player information to the left of the video at 23:26 is subtle editing, but it's so perfect and useful for the context of this video! Really like to see these simple but effective edits. Great video, as usual!
Glad to see you back with insane video, my man! 😄The mass ghost game was insane, I didn't know it was for this video when I was watching this game on the stream? You didn't say anything, sneaky. 😂
Great video...fun to see you experimenting with different parameters in the videos. This one felt special and unique having a full challenge in one movie. Hopefully will bring in some new viewers!
Just wanna say, the content itself is already awesome, but you do SUCH a good job explaining your thought process, the pros & cons of all your different options, things like that. It's super informative and educational :D
@@calvinsFuntimeBounceHouse it's 11 dolars so you can go hate somewhere else lol, I give MY earned money and YOU come here and bitch about the amount? lolwut? go away lol gg
When you are doing the liberator only challenge if someone refuses to leave, you can just use your SCVs to kill them, thereby keeping the challenge pure and untainted by other units. No marines necessary.
Yeah, nice one man! It's so cool to see you take apart conventional play with your excellent execution of creative strategies! I love your dedication too - pioneering success alternatives to mainstream thought in any domain is incredibly challenging!
Very high quality video! the voice over was also well done, I would not at all mind voice over videos if they are more convenient but I also love your live reactions. glad to get a big chunk of thermy content after such a long break
What a monster video! I love it! A whole evening of entertainment:) that Thor surround was brutal, especially after being recognised when your opponent saw the first Thor! Uthermal, defining off metta! The reapers where of course just op, and the mines, the other mines, and yet more mines! Great games :) I would love to see some of the games that didn't make the cut for this video.
It's worth noting, he did have to try most of these challenges multiple times. This compilation includes the winning game, we're not seeing the 9 times he lost first~. And as he notes, a lot of the time it's about shock value, surprise, and of course the legendary uThermal micro. It takes time to pivot to a "hard counter" and many of these wins happened because uThermal was able to destroy their economy before or sometimes *despite* them making that switch.
Only watched the marine only game and loving it so far and about to watch the rest. Its cool to see you just focusing on the game and doing the voice over later. I'm not going to get used to it of course as I'm sure its crazy time consuming doing it that way but thanks for taking the time as I know this is going to be a cool vid!
I use to follow you back then when I was playing SC, I stopped a long time ago but still watch some games from time to time and this video was sooo entertaining, I enjoyed it a lot, this is brilliant. Comments are amazing, keep it up man!
@@pnoodl3s775 Because nearly none of them are competitive in world tournaments compared to Asia, they have less players and less skill in general is needed to reach GM

I love your videos so much! Post all the videos, because win or lose you are awesome to watch. You are 100% my favorite StarCraft player. I love all the ideas and fun strategies you bring to the table, it makes for very engaging content.
That "uthermal?" question made me laugh so hard. Also, you mentioning nonchalantly that the ghosts had been nerfed like it was not because of your ghosts to gm challenge XD
what a great video man, I used to love doing single unit challenges back in WoL, was never good enough to do it against this level of competition but it sure made for some in my lowly Diamond/Platinum skill ceiling leagues. The Widow Mine video was just ridiculous, but as a fan of Giant Robots....Thor is probably my favorite.
problem with Hydra Ultra is what do you upgrade? Melee or Range? Both is kinda expensive, especially since they both cost a lot of gas anyway and upgrades cost a lot of gas.
@@Supergoon1989 sure. I think those kind of decisions would have to be made depending on the matchup and what comp your opponent is doing. But you don’t see a whole lot of those units typically being utilized by zergs so I think it would be a fun challenge
@@primarisgreen Hydras need support in the midgame; they dont do so well just on their own. Ultras need hive, and then need Ultra-Cavern built as well, and have a long building time. It takes a very long time before you can get them on the field, during which time Hydra comp alone is really quite squishy. At the very least I think you'd need to allow lings. So ling/hydra/ultra. or maybe even ling/bane/hydra/ultra.
This is one of my favorite vids of the whole channel! I love siege tanks (my favorite unit in the game), so I was so happy with how completely one-sided that one was. So many of them were just epic though: Thor, Banshee, and Liberator were nail-biters, and widow-mine was super fun too!
I have never played SC, never wanted to play SC, and don't intend to play SC (I don't eve know how this video showed up for me).... BUT, the way you put this together and kept the chatter to almost 100% consumable information by a non-SC player made me totally enjoy and get into what you were doing here! (Note: I did play a TON of these games back in the day, like HoM&M, C&C, Dune, etc.) I totally appreciated that you explained not only the what, but the why, how and your interpretation of the other players strategy and tactics based on your interactions. There are people who have a skill with a craft that even those who don't understand can appreciate - I enjoyed your video and appreciated your talent. Thank you.
Very impressive, banger games!! Ghosts only was a piece of art, just beautiful snowballing an early risk to get eco equality to prevent zerg from doing the inefficient but effective kamikaze lingbane strats. Terran ghosts taking more of the map than Zerg is hype!! Widow mines was a beaut too. All of the challenges were very satisfying and very cool. 😄 Video length and upload schedule is getting as wacky as your challenges, I have no clue what to expect anymore 😅
Thermie went on holiday, he did say in a message in some other tab. If I had to guess, he worked on this video beforehand so as we would have something nice to keep us on the edge of our seats while he was recharging his cheese reservoirs.
This is a great video!! I'd love to see the other races or just another one of these. The games were so interesting and fun and I loved the post match commentary!!
Honestly, the liberator I thought it was not possible, but the widow mines I was waiting for it because it has amazing possibility for superb strategy moves... Nice play! Hat off!
Liberator won thanks to the opponent making the mistake of stacking their corruptors and losing half their army in 3 seconds because of that. I guess that is the level of a grandmaster.
I like how most of this started with gg's from the victims and the more absurd it gets less gg's I see. the mine cheese was my favourite. It feels like justice for all of the cannon rushing I have experienced as a zerg.
So, regarding SCVs only... back in then Wings of Liberty beta, I ran into a Terran player during my initial ladder placement matches who almost beat me (playing 'toss on a 1v1-sized map) with no military units. This guy flew his command center in and did a Planetary Fortress drop the moment he had the gas for it next to my Nexus. The *only* reason I didn't lose was because I was paranoid about reapers eating my mineral line and had a cannon on either end of it, but I was low on minerals and almost out of Probes when his PF went down. Obviously, this wouldn't work against a *good* player but I never said I was good :P
I loved Beastyqt’s crazy X to Grandmaster videos. But he’s moved onto AOE4. I love that uThermal (and Harstem) are doing these crazy things, because while Beastyqt was extremely entertaining and innovative (sentries only to (almost) Grandmaster??), uThermal is able to execute at even another level above.
@@moozoo82 Thanks for this! I've started watching his series. I was excited to see him because I know that he's a better SC2 player than Beastyqt straight up. However, so far I'm finding that Beastyqt was more creative in his strategies making the series more entertaining. I've only watched the first 6 episodes so far of Mana's, but he appears to trying to play a regular game but with sentries. He doesn't expand nearly enough to to be able to make up for his unit comp handicap. Like Beastyqt going up to 9 base losing 150+ sentries doom dropping them against brood lord + lurker against a M3 Zerg.
@ganonk79 it gets crazier, I assure you, off the charts sentry micro, but beasty did have some style, there's no doubt. Also why i like thermy, there's just things you can do with pro level micro that make it a different game. Cheers!
Omfg, that was really exciting. It's almost 3 a.m. my place I should be sleeping long time ago but... Really am I gonna go to sleep before seeing how the hell have you dish out a WIN with widow mines only or hellbats? No freaking way! You videos are so entertaining, even for people who are not playing starcraft (like myself, used to play some but never pvp or competitive level). Thanks a lot for that challange.
Echt fantastisch on naar te kijken kerel. Ik speel al een tijdje zelf niet meer, maar als ik eerlijk ben haal. Ik veel meer plezier uit het kijken van dergelijke content fan wanneer ik zelf speel. Vooral het enthousiasme van het commentaar maakt het zeer vermakelijk om naar te kijken. Echt super content, ga zo door!
This is insane. My suggestion for the next series is a custom map with base defense (tower defense) where you defend against other 2-4 players. Should have certain special units for fun
To quote Totalbiscuit "Who the hell proxies a tank?" Haha, love your content! You keep things fresh and exciting. Reminds me a bit of TB's Clan Wars series. Of course, they used all sorts of crazy SC2 maps instead to mix things up. Cheers~ Widow Mines were pretty nice!
I really liked this video, but also found it frustrating. You see, I like to put on a 2-hour, mildly interesting video while I play games or cook food, but this was TOO interesting and I just sat and watched the whole thing and got nothing done.
Dude, ik lach mij elke keer weer helemaal suf met je gekke cheese games!! Je hebt hierdoor weer een extra sub verdient :D keep up the good "dutch cheesy" content !!
That was the most entertaining SCII video I've ever seen. Respect! (I'm still learning English and I wish everyone would speak as clearly as you do. Thank you very much for that :D)
You could follow it up with some two unit combos like your penguin brothers, but just going through the units testing different combinations. -Would also like to see something similar with other races.
Thank you Marc. Truly, thank you. I could watch a new video every day for the rest of my life now, because you've put up so many videos. I wish only to meet you one day
What an incredible video, I'm still watching through it match by match, I have to give special praise to the Thors challenge. I've literally never seen a game of Starcraft 2 like that in my life.

What was your favorite unit? If I had to choose my personal favorite games were ; Widow Mines, Banshees and... Thors? :D
Thor.
The Thor's looked amazingly difficult
IMO. The favorite unit is Widow Mines. They act like miniature nukes. 😂
For Protoss: Phoenix. Because they can mass easily and fast as hell.
"Cheese with holes" is "Swiss Cheese" as in "His base looked like Swiss cheese, after the base trade."
Thors, no contest. Some great games amongst the others, but the Thor game was simply amazing.
UThermal really the type of guy to combine 13 potential revenue-generating videos into one the length of a feature film.
Cuz he's a boss
Indeed! He could've made like 4-6 good vids out of this content easily :D
Super irritating, horrible form

The guy playing against the ghosts had no less than 7 panic attacks that game.
The most effective build.
The All-Ghost psychological warfare.
I felt bad for him tbh.
After that cruel game, Zerg getting that one good fight getting ~50 pop in ghosts probably kept him from flatlining.
Can you tell me which moment is the panic attack because I'm just gold player and don't really see where the panic attack ag

1:01:12 "I survived it with eighteen Thors!"
Legendary uThermal quote. You can just feel the joy in his voice.
It's a warm fuzzy swelling of pride within him
Those poor bastards in the tanks were like, "It's a GUDAAAAAM! SHIT IT'S A LOT OF GUNDAAAAAMS!"
There's something really funny to me about the changeling turning into a marine when you have none
Hahahah yeah, that moment was hilarious! I don't play SC but the ridiculousness of the situation was pretty clear even to me :)
'Uh sir we detected several marine near our base sir but we can't recognize them'
'I didn't train any marine soldier, shot them down'
'copy sir'.

Honestly, the liberator I thought it was not possible, but the widow mines I was waiting for it because it has amazing possibility for superb strategy moves... Nice play! Hat off!
Liberator won thanks to the opponent making the mistake of stacking their corruptors and losing half their army in 3 seconds because of that.
I guess that is the level of a grandmaster.
This is absolutely insane. Awesome job man, your videos are something else.
I like how most of this started with gg's from the victims and the more absurd it gets less gg's I see. the mine cheese was my favourite. It feels like justice for all of the cannon rushing I have experienced as a zerg.
Wow bro, this was an amazing video and an outstanding feat accomplished. Thanks so much for your time and effort for our entertainment
I don't even play SC 2 but this was super entertaining. Watched the whole thing. Well done
Same here, I haven't played SC since 2002 or so, but this was super fun stuff :)
Very innovative session. My favorite is the widow mines challenge. Of course, the reaction from your opponents is so hilarious!!
I loved the banshee game! It was a lot of fun to watch. "Swiss cheese" 😄
So, regarding SCVs only... back in then Wings of Liberty beta, I ran into a Terran player during my initial ladder placement matches who almost beat me (playing 'toss on a 1v1-sized map) with no military units. This guy flew his command center in and did a Planetary Fortress drop the moment he had the gas for it next to my Nexus. The *only* reason I didn't lose was because I was paranoid about reapers eating my mineral line and had a cannon on either end of it, but I was low on minerals and almost out of Probes when his PF went down.
Obviously, this wouldn't work against a *good* player but I never said I was good :P
Omg uthermy is back online 😍
Thanks uT for all your content! You made my days easier.
Lots of love Marc ! Rooting for you for the next tournament :)
I'm slightly sad you didn't do a only raven game. Can't really complain tho cuz this was an amazing video ❤️
I have to admit, the widow mine game was "chef's kiss". That is by far my favorite one. GGs!
I loved Beastyqt’s crazy X to Grandmaster videos. But he’s moved onto AOE4. I love that uThermal (and Harstem) are doing these crazy things, because while Beastyqt was extremely entertaining and innovative (sentries only to (almost) Grandmaster??), uThermal is able to execute at even another level above.
Mana did a super entertaining sentry only series, if you liked the original. Some bonkers games. Great time for SC2 content.
@@moozoo82 Thanks for this! I've started watching his series. I was excited to see him because I know that he's a better SC2 player than Beastyqt straight up. However, so far I'm finding that Beastyqt was more creative in his strategies making the series more entertaining. I've only watched the first 6 episodes so far of Mana's, but he appears to trying to play a regular game but with sentries. He doesn't expand nearly enough to to be able to make up for his unit comp handicap. Like Beastyqt going up to 9 base losing 150+ sentries doom dropping them against brood lord + lurker against a M3 Zerg.
@ganonk79 it gets crazier, I assure you, off the charts sentry micro, but beasty did have some style, there's no doubt. Also why i like thermy, there's just things you can do with pro level micro that make it a different game. Cheers!
RIP to the OG beastyQT would be nice uthermal recognize he was at least inspired by him
Haven't watched SC2 in ages. This video was great fun to watch! Thank you for the great entertainment!
2:28. For shame!!
Omfg, that was really exciting. It's almost 3 a.m. my place I should be sleeping long time ago but... Really am I gonna go to sleep before seeing how the hell have you dish out a WIN with widow mines only or hellbats? No freaking way! You videos are so entertaining, even for people who are not playing starcraft (like myself, used to play some but never pvp or competitive level). Thanks a lot for that challange.
Yay, he's back!
Echt fantastisch on naar te kijken kerel. Ik speel al een tijdje zelf niet meer, maar als ik eerlijk ben haal. Ik veel meer plezier uit het kijken van dergelijke content fan wanneer ik zelf speel. Vooral het enthousiasme van het commentaar maakt het zeer vermakelijk om naar te kijken. Echt super content, ga zo door!
This is insane. My suggestion for the next series is a custom map with base defense (tower defense) where you defend against other 2-4 players. Should have certain special units for fun
This is a fun idea, I'd love to watch it!
To quote Totalbiscuit "Who the hell proxies a tank?" Haha, love your content!
You keep things fresh and exciting. Reminds me a bit of TB's Clan Wars series. Of course, they used all sorts of crazy SC2 maps instead to mix things up.
Cheers~ Widow Mines were pretty nice!
I really liked this video, but also found it frustrating. You see, I like to put on a 2-hour, mildly interesting video while I play games or cook food, but this was TOO interesting and I just sat and watched the whole thing and got nothing done.
That ghost game was batshit crazy and amazingly entertaining to watch.
You should try a challenge where you can only build 3 max of any unit at any one time.
Dude, ik lach mij elke keer weer helemaal suf met je gekke cheese games!! Je hebt hierdoor weer een extra sub verdient :D keep up the good "dutch cheesy" content !!
i like that it is literally unthinkable in Dutch to say "cheese game" =) Cheese is serious business!
This was amazing! I kinda wished you released it as a series though; the 2 hour video is a little too long for me.
Just check the timestamps and come back later when you need a break.
This video was just a blast to watch. You're great at what you do, Uthermal!
Haven't watched Starcraft for years but this popped up on my feed and it was freaking awesome
36:30 I like how even discussing Banelings is enough to make Thermie pre-split *in his own base*
That was the most entertaining SCII video I've ever seen. Respect!
(I'm still learning English and I wish everyone would speak as clearly as you do. Thank you very much for that :D)
SOLID video quality, subbed n liked for this feature length and quality video.
Haven't even played SC2 too much, but played SC1 a lot back then. But still love watching cool SC2 videos like yours! Keep up the good work!
This is probably one of the most legendary SC2 videos I’ve ever watched lol you are a legend uThermal
very entertaining games! ketroc is rolling over in his grave at your skipping the raven though ;)
I love watching you and TheViper (Age of Empires 2) - you always find ways to make the games so interesting!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good this guy actually is? Grandmasters are already super good players.
You could follow it up with some two unit combos like your penguin brothers, but just going through the units testing different combinations.
-Would also like to see something similar with other races.
Thank you Marc. Truly, thank you.
I could watch a new video every day for the rest of my life now, because you've put up so many videos. I wish only to meet you one day
What an incredible video, I'm still watching through it match by match, I have to give special praise to the Thors challenge. I've literally never seen a game of Starcraft 2 like that in my life.
