If anybody is wondering: The Video the opponent in the first match posted is a song by Adam Sandler "Steve Polychronopolous". He posted the link to the video in chat. (A quick search on YT will find you the song).
For whatever reason he posted the song, I cannot fathom.
Tyvm, was running through comments looking for a diligent bastard such as yourself👏👏
I was coming to post this as well
I think he just likes the song and posted the link to explain.
Probably his name is Steve
I'd say the reason he posted it was excessive consumption of alcohol.
One type of proxy hatch I've seen PiG do, that I think you've over looked. You take a queen and a drone to the other side of the map. You proxy the Hatchery. Cancel it, then throw down a creep tumor right away into the limited amount of creep the hatchery spawned. It's a little expensive, but you'll have forward creep that can and will break the opponents brain.
proxy tumor
I wouldn't consider that a proxy hatchery though. I think it breaks the spirit of the challenge too much.
how much time does it take to take the queen across the map ?
That would be an interesting concept for a new series: Aggressive Creep to GM. Pool and Overlord Speed into fast Lair, morph a couple Drop Overlords, then just pick up Queens and fly all over the map dropping Creep Tumors. Bonus would be that if it goes into the late game, you can effectively build Nydus anywhere you want.
Combine it with a secret base at a gold and I dig it :D
Really happy about the longer episodes, I haven't complained because I'm qutie happy that you put out videos so consistantly but the longer videos are great and it does feel bad when we've gotten used to longer episodes and new ones drop that are only 25 minutes
Can we add a rule to the challenge? MINIMUM 40MIN SESSIONS
25 minutes is fine honestly, but the past few uploads have been only 15
I’ve heard ZvZ likened to a knife fight in a phone booth.
Very true.
so true
Incredibly accurate summary of that second to last zvz 😂
Lol
Video link is an Adam Sandler song "Steve Polychronopolis". It's not much of a mystery :D
If anyone wants to check out the link from the first game but are too lazy to type it:
th-cam.com/video/wk5dmbMrAUQ/w-d-xo.html
It's just some random video, nothing dope.
Random video from a random player.
it's by adam sandler from 1996
Thanks so much for the content and the longer videos! Your ability to constantly explain the game while you play is incredible. I can't say enough nice things about your videos. I don't think I would be playing SC2 if not for the joy, playfulness and high level real time analysis you bring to these videos. Amazing stuff, thank you so much!
Spine rush is my favorite proxy hatch strat. Just got to watch Dark use it against Classic on Harstem's channel, Dark must be watching your vids!
I don't even play anymore -
your delivery is what keeps me coming back.
great personality.
For those who is wondering. The link in 1st game goes to "Adam Sandler - Steve Polychronopolous Dirty Version Video" music video.
I was just watching Lowko's videos of SC2, you got recomended and now I'm watching all your series, perfect after a long day at work and the kids are in bed and I don't want to start playing myself. I really love your commentery. new sub 👍
I'm happy that you do longer episodes again! 😊
The builds are epic but your skill in executing them so well and so consistently is very nice and is a big factor in making your videos as watchable as they are.
Wow, this micro in game 4 is just insane! This is a great testimony of how strong mechanincs translated to off races
That zergling control was truly impressive. Ive only seen a couple pro main zergs be able to micro 3 diff bases in ling bane battles.
"Oh, is my computer on mute?"
"Oh, ok, it's fine"
Every single time.
Love the proxy hatch series!
like how uthermal does his youtube content. its not just the lazy clips from twitch. 10/10 i would be bronze league player in starcraft but for some reason i love to watch it haha
Great game UThermal! The last game watching you flexing all your counter Terran knowledge was fun to watch ❤
thanks for all the content, your commentary is very entertaining and your gameplay is really good
Pair Build sounded like an interesting challenge: every building you build, must be built in pairs, meaning the second must be started before the first ends. You build a second expansion nexus, you better get a third expansion too. Pylons will be dropped twice. Two cyber cores? Optional cap on units.
Mental note: Spine Crawlers crawl really slow off creep and die very fast to massed zerglings when unburrowed
Love that UThermal knows Terran sooo well that it makes him such a lethal Zerg player against them 😂
An idea for a ZvZ build: Instead of making a proxy hatchery, use the opponent's hachery creep to put the spines there. That would save 300 mats which could be translated into 2-3 additional spines?
So basically you'll use your enemies base as your proxy hatch to make the spine rush.. Maybe it's a bit out of the scope of Proxy Hatch but something I'd like to see you try :),
you could perhaps wait for the enemy zerg to finish his 2nd hatchery, and wait with 4-5 well timed drones to be able to instantly build the spines.
It’s not a proxy hatch tho…
@@lukeaberdene-wallwork8029 I know, I did mention that it's a bit out of the scope of Proxy hatch, I would like to see it happen though in probably another series, like speedrunning SC2 or cheeses to GM
That ling micro in zvz was insane
Hey man I just want to say, I am have been using your proxy hatch build a lot in ladder and lately and it is absolutely hilarious how effective it is, this channel is a blessing thanks for uploading
33:29 - просто безумная игра! Уровень микро просто запредельный!
the multitasking micro in the zvz blows my mind
wild game. thanks for sharing. love your energy. 2nd last game is what i'm responding to. watching last game now. really enjoying your content. keep the memes alive! :)
Thanks Thermy for the content, you keep me hooked by variety and playfulness. I am having a blast watching your videos.
Thanks for a longer videos!
Really love your zerg play!
For proxy hatch, doing the proxy muta seems like an amazing strategy, will be happy to see more of it.
I saw that last game live from MightyKiwi's channel, he was fairly nervous that the game would draw out and you might have a chance at catching up in the macro game (we all knew it was you) though at his level in the ladder, most of his games are against people at similar levels.
It was the first time I've seen a pro face off against someone I knew and was watching live, which I thought was cool, cause I don't usually watch people on twitch.
A bit of a sidenote, but I managed to beat him a couple days earlier, with my main race. It was by far the highest level opponent I've ever beaten (or faced off against in that matter) in a long drawn out macro game, in my worst matchup (PvZ).
We were familiar with each other since I played in an Aus offline tournament which he watched and it was quite the honor to face off against him (and then beat him to! +66 points :o)
Best christmas/newyears present!
LOVE your videos so much man. I'm watching you nightly like its Netflix or something. The longer episode was a great gift indeed. :D
uThermal: "That doesn't seem legal..."
Me: "I will make it legal!"
Great video, that close ZvZ was so hectic, I could barely tell what was going on, but it's great, such great micro!
uthermal, you really have to focus on droning up more when you're fighting zerg, denying your opponent 1 base means that as long as you have drones at your proxy hatch you're guaranteed to have a better eco than them
Thanks Uthermal for the extra long episode with the great games! Very appreciated. !
Uthermal: "what is this wild Terran player doing?"
Me: "He's just bad, bro."
Thank you for the extra long videos, they were very enjoyable.
The TH-cam link is to "Steve Polychronopolous" by Adam Sandler, but it's the "dirty" version dubbed over the music video.
Can we just change the series name to spine rush to GM?😂
it's definitely a series
20-25 minute episodes is proper. I always want more content, but I think half an hour is the sweet spot.
That one zvz game is the most accurate depiction of zvz I've ever seen 😂❤️
that second to last zvz was amazing
Most of my other favorite content creators release 10-20 minute videos 1 or 2 rules a month, so I think your release schedule is insane even with 25 minute format.
That said, seems like few YTers are going to post much this week, so I appreciate you giving us a little extra. Cheers!
Amazing episode!!
"Yo, dawg! I know you love to creep, so we've put creep on your creep so that you can creep while you creep!"
i dont know if you see the match agains HERO and DARK , but DARK did use your proxy hatch and win...GG
Thank you for longer episodes
I've had ColWombat on my FL since WOL but I never played with him. Seeing his name pop up and subsequent odd spamming was a funny surprise to say the least.
thanks for the bonus games brother! they are appreciated!!!!
A New Year treat- an extra long video! Great games!
The first game's splash screen made me extra nervous because "frmage"(fromage) means cheese
Fromage doesn't means cheese. Fromage is the KIND of cheese...
@@spookyfoxpl pretty sure Fromage is the French word for Cheese.
Omelette du fromage
@@spookyfoxpl According to Google Translate and French Wikipedia, you are wrong. Congratulations on being confidently incorrect!
I really like the idea of a random added episode on the previous challenges, like the ghost episode we got.
your micro is so darn insane man I wish I could micro that well. crazy
appreciate the longer episode!
Nice to see the good ol' Spine Rush still kicking!
Nice pfp
holy crap your micro in the z v z is next level
I like how you recognize that we want to see you win more than we want to see you stick to the predetermined rules lol
"you have to learn the build before, or else it will look like this" ouch! 😅
nice to see a micro/macro battle of spines-lings vs bane-lings turn into queen-lings. great pro skills showing off
Lets see a proxy hatch with a sneaky dropper lord follow up from behind!!
Dark won against Hero with a proxy hatch in a recent game. You inspire pros as well!
Yo dawg! I heard you liked proxy hatches so much your proxy hatches have proxy hatches!
Polychronopolous was a song by Adam Sandler on one of his joke CDs in the 1990s that started like this: "Polychronopolous, I'm a big fucking dick..." Just FYI
Also - I just checked the link, and indeed that's what he was talking about.
I've copied the link here for those who are curious: th-cam.com/video/wk5dmbMrAUQ/w-d-xo.html
The link was to: Adam Sandler - Steve Polychronopolous Dirty Version Video
never played a sc2 game. but watch ur vids everyday. really enjoyable content.
can you make some games with swarmhost? would love to see some swarmhost games. ty
That Z v Z was so good
Looking forward to you doing some kind of protoss challenge. Cannon rush to GM when?
6:07 I'd like to believe game #1 was against a bong cloud.
In game 3 it would've been sick to use that creep tumor to quickly go nydus, and burrow with roaches using lings to push back any units after scan comes up then smash the other bases with ling runs
Please make it longer everytime.
I only watch lowko and you so I need more content hahaha
perfect longer episodes, love man!
Awesome episode, great proxy hatches.
I think the 20-25 minute episodes are better overall, but a longer episode like this is great every now and then, especially when you're up against GM players.
Also, that ZvZ against Zesty was bonkers! I miss the 2015-16 era of LotV, when ZvZ was all ling/bane wars. The matchup eventually turned away from that towards Roach wars, and I was never very good with Roaches. There was a long period where almost every pro game was primarily Roach vs. Roach and I hated it
I like the long episodes :) Thanks
Thank you for the long episode
Love the micro in game 4
Again just leavin a comment to boost uthermals engagement!
Appreciate the extra long video today!
Love the longer episodes
I don't understand the disparity in resources during the ZvZ with that Zesty dude. He was farming on 1 base and had 1 extractor up but was still able to produce a lot of lings and banelings with 3-4 queens while uThermal had two base up and was farming on his 2nd base. Unreal.
That ZvZ was intense in game 5 loved it!!!
Loved the extra long episode!
11:37 WTF kind of portrait is that?? It looks like Bib Fortuna XD
ZvZ is always so much fun to watch! So much happening in such minute ways! Terrible to be playing as though because the heart can't handle beating so fast!
man im ok with these challenges, but is there a chance for you to dedicate a series for proper starcraft?? i mean if you still have an account that you compete upper side of ladder just post them, you dont even need to edit those.. raw footage of high lvl starcraft against best of the ladder. im having really hard time to find these, i dont have time for twitch and i bet there are ppl like me. harstem uploads those time to time but its generally too short 1-2 games.. and thats it.
its like you are serving candys all the time but at some point some of your audience may want some proper food for change. other than that awesome content as always. keep up the good work hope you reach your goals.
Hey utherm, love your videos bud!.. I think you would like this one challenge!!! Been dropping with Zerg a lot by 4mins with mass zerglings or banelings it’s fun! Maybe add that with all races? GGs wp!
that micro was otherworldly...
LOVE UTHERMAL
I liked the longer episode length.
tried googling polychronopolis, didn't get anything(it kept get corrected to something else).
from greek:
poly = many(3 or more)
chrono = time
polis = city
city of many times?
it's PolychronopOUlos, where poulos means child (common ending word on family names)
And as the music is about a fictionnal character, it fits the average greek names ending with -poulos
Not much else
Its an Adam Sandler music video, "Adam Sandler - Steve Polychronopolous Dirty Version Video". I typed "polychronopoulos" into TH-cam and its the first video that popped up. Its also the one that the player linked in chat lol
Not sure if you already have one but I’d love a vod channel from your twitch so we can see you laddering properly (never manage to catch your streams)
Hey Thermy! Can you show us the proxy where you cancel the hatch in ZvZ and make a spine on the remaining creep?
Believe he already has videos of it, sadly don't remember when.
Happy New Year!
you’re doing PartinG’s legacy justice
That zvz was awesome
Is random the strongest race? Ideally, if you can play every race to a pro level, hiding your race is a big plus.
