Glad you guys are as hyped for a new series as I am, it's about time :D Check out my new channel guys!! You will love it for sure th-cam.com/video/oaSN1WZD_Vo/w-d-xo.html
I saw Florencio torture someone with this strat. It was beautiful. He also has this sick play using a floating CC full of SCV to accompany the BC as a repair team (Also trivia: CC unloads all SCV at once unlike Medivac)
What uThermal is doing is teaching players to prioritize detection. THEN he'll do a series that punishes them for investing in detection. Playing the long game.
Hello Marc, I'm so happy you chose this challenge ! I suggested it ! Vs protoss : Proxy factory, fly it to a blind spot in their main, rally a widow mine to their mineral line. No detection ? sad ! Some time they won't realize there's a building in their base for a long time, funny ! thank you for this challenge.
Saw this new series come out and clicked quick as I could, love me some capital ship antics and mine play. And welp, here we are. People are right that you tend towards the rush, early aggression, micro over macro play, but frankly that's what I'm miserable at so I love seeing somebody make the opponents dance and respond to your pressure. Shorter games also fit my internet-wrecked attention span, 'win in six minutes' was a great ruleset that for that reason too. Though ofc you can make even long macro games exciting.
another thing i dont like about the long macro games is a lot of the times they just devolve into who can manage their economy better when marc is playing against a much lower mmr player
Battle cruisers, I love it. I recently got back into sc2 thanks to your series. I got a strategy where I basically cover the whole map with mines and use battle cruisers to do damage while not at risk of a counter. I assume that only works in my silver/gold elo, but I'd love to see such a good player try it. Thanks for your content ❤
Would love to see you more tournaments just for winning. There's a realy big difference in watching the replays with commentarys to your videos commenting while playing and seeing your camera locations etc.
Those points where you literally have 11 widow mines crawling all over their base, medivacs flying in dropping more, you can just hear them crying in agony. The poor slobs.
Thought of a great widow mine BC combo: set a bunch of mines between an enemy expansion and the closest nexus, hive, or command center distract their army on the other side of the map to pull it away from the expansion and go in with a bunch of BCs and yamato cannon down the nexus hive or command center so that all the workers have to leave that base and go to the nearest next base and blow up on the mines you have placed between those two bases.
My suggestion1 Queen/Hydra/Viper only, I can imagine how great it is when you pull the opponent's units on your Hydras. Example you build battery pack (4 evo) next to opponent base and pull everything he have to the Hydras. Suggestion2 you can build 1-2 barracks and only marines and main units are liberators. I can imagine how cool it would be you siege up 25 libs and small group marines with them. No medivacs either. It doesn't matter if you don't make it to GM but this would be challenge!
I got 2 very silly full macro strat ideas. Either 1+ every unit(just have at least one of every unit including scv in your attack) or no attack til max. Both strats still can send a single wave of reaper/hellion to scout and both you can send your army to the half way point on the map before the trigger condition. See if you can mind game your way through early game. No clue if either is possible but they would be very silly and very funny to watch you try.
Those few first episodes for any new challenge is so painful to watch (from oponenent perspective), but this series should bring an absolute bangers on the higher levels!
Yea its frankly pretty stupid. He could win those games without making any military units, just rush SCV's and win. Excellent way to deter newer players trying to get into the game.
i have a serious challenge for you Rules are simple: 1) Edit out your name -- you fail if someone discovers its you 2) Actually try on new account, whatever build, climb the ladder -- losing on purpose loses challenge 3) I want to see what your win/loss ratio would be and end MMR after 125-175 games. -- super simple. ----------------------------------------------------------- CAVEAT: you can replace "whatever build" to only uses previous challenge builds, in any order, however, you can only use the same strategy 3x in a row. if you do a different one then go back to oldone, then that resets 3x ina row. only thing is if you lose during that game reset, you can't reset until you win.
I like this challenge. If it gets tough against Protoss later, adding liberators would be hilarious. People are so used to thinking of lib anti-air as a joke, but they're fast and their air splash radius is the same size as a disruptor's.
3 things to see:- 1. break the record for most BC's in a game as close to 200 supply as possible. 2. the engineering bay block into proxy factory and walking widow mines to just sit in the natural. 3. reaper/proxy marines into proxy factory widow mine baits.....
Based on the roach reactions or tank reaction I've often wondered how a BC follow up would work with the planetary rush... Expensive but sneak one in and I think you may have something
The hit at 13:14 made me wheeze-laugh HARD. I'm sad to say, this challenge is the first time that I am a doubter. It just feels like widow mines are almost completely useless because their damage can be neutralized with just two neurons of micro. Maybe I'm wrong, and I hope that I am, but at this exact moment my gut is telling me this series will be plagued by unfortunate losses.
Once I lost as silver protoss, when someone floated a factory at the corner of my main, and started building mines there. I did not see the factory, but suddenly my base was full of mines
When thermy starts out challenges against diamonds I always imagine magnus carlsen saying ‘Allright! We did it guys!’ when I would resign a chess game against him.
I want to see a mobile repair squad strategy - a medivac full of SCVs. Something like rushing with a Thor, flying him out when he's damaged, quickly repair out of vision and then drop him back off for round 2 hahah
Would love to see a series that involves mainly tank. Like, build mainly tank only until you start needing a unit that counters their counter to your tanks. Something tank though :)
Yup. Mines are such fun to watch. My all time favourite challenge that BeastyQT did was Mass Ravens + Window Mines... The most fun I've ever seen in SC2 content. So much salt, so many jebaits. ❤
New series ideas: 1-first move gotts be a nuke (reaper harassement allowed) 2- only zealot/DT/phoenix allowed 3- Zerg (something with no upgrades beside unit speed)
I have a question : how many time is going on between the time you play thoses games and the time you put them on youtube ? it is like few days or do you have some weeks videos in advance ? anyway amazing job you are doing, make me love even more SC2 :) :) Thank you very much for that !!
I'd like to see something like economy to gm. Something like you never attack, only defend and expand until the other guy gives up. That might make for games that go for a long time, so maybe have rules about being able to attack eventually.
hello again! all bc builds are going to be epic, i am sure of it. I have a protoss challenge: blink/teleport challenge (so stalkers, dts, archons (and i guess observers? and mothership cause)) (im just a big fan of dark templars, especially combined with their ability, say to jump up cliffs like reapers when they have an observer....)
That last game was so frustrating, you sent that BC over there and killed the pylon, and then just never looked at it again. And was like, "uuugh unfortunate that I lost it." Come on man, you are better than that. KIDDING NOT KIDDING 😁
Thermie, all your challenges are great. HOWEVER, I get a strange feeling that THIS challenge is gonna be a fuckin' banger. Super excited. Love your content bro!
I think dropping a widowmine next to the robo, and giving it a stop command while its invisible is a good idea.. then you just watch the timing and turn it out when its getting close to producing a observor and save a scan, lol .. make them rage quit.
YES! Thanks posting so much great content you silly goose. Look forward to your video every day. Video idea: Could you post a video showing your hands? Just general interest. 60 apm boomer here that would be interested to see what it looks like. Cheers!
Yoo that account name though. So when the Starcraft demo dropped and I first started playing online my account name was DaemonLord (in honor of the daemons from warcraft 1), before I made a new account called Nuker
Do Ghost EMPs work on Command Center Energy? If so, that's a tactic you should consider on challenges that include Ghosts vs Terran. I could be misled of course, I haven't played in ages.
I am just waiting for thermy to play against Harstem when he is doing a BGMWSS episode. Then we get to watch crazy build matchups from both perspectives.
I propose a small change to the rules for the reaper: Marc is allowed to kill one worker actively mining with his reaper. The reaper should be able to do something, and fulfilling it's purpose at least a little makes sense.
Glad you guys are as hyped for a new series as I am, it's about time :D Check out my new channel guys!! You will love it for sure th-cam.com/video/oaSN1WZD_Vo/w-d-xo.html
Why a new channel? Therefore use the playlist
why create a new channel rather than just have it here?
Is this channel changing? Why make a new one?
Bump
@@horstschlammer3504 algorithms prefer it this way
uThermal: Finally guys, a new macro series. (Proceeds to proxy every building.) We did it guys!
🤣
Well tbh I am happy with the first games being over quickly, playing macro against Diamant players wouldn't really be interesting to watch i think
You know that picture of Obama giving a medal to Obama?
That's my boy
Battlecruiser widow mine sounds like a wild combo and I can't wait to see what sort of shenanigans this series leads to
Pure salt cannon
I can already tell, this series is gonna induce some major salt.
Just when I thought nothing could beat Planetary to GM.
I saw Florencio torture someone with this strat. It was beautiful. He also has this sick play using a floating CC full of SCV to accompany the BC as a repair team
(Also trivia: CC unloads all SCV at once unlike Medivac)
YES! a "X" and "Y" to GM series. Thank you Marc, you're the GOAT!
Yes, this is what we've been missing since BeastyQT abandoned us, great strat to pick!
What uThermal is doing is teaching players to prioritize detection. THEN he'll do a series that punishes them for investing in detection. Playing the long game.
Oooh nice, excited to see this new series!
Hello Marc, I'm so happy you chose this challenge ! I suggested it ! Vs protoss : Proxy factory, fly it to a blind spot in their main, rally a widow mine to their mineral line. No detection ? sad ! Some time they won't realize there's a building in their base for a long time, funny ! thank you for this challenge.
Battlemines, Widowcruiser? On the topic of challenge type- Rolling thunder, tanks (but not allowed to deploy) and maybe thors?
Saw this new series come out and clicked quick as I could, love me some capital ship antics and mine play. And welp, here we are.

New challenge, and it's battlecruisers, AND we get to re-live favorite old challenges now and then on a dedicated channel?
Hell yeah!
Battle cruisers, I love it. I recently got back into sc2 thanks to your series.
I got a strategy where I basically cover the whole map with mines and use battle cruisers to do damage while not at risk of a counter.
I assume that only works in my silver/gold elo, but I'd love to see such a good player try it.

As a Diamond Protoss, I feel that 2nd Toss’s respond to the widow mines in my soul…
The day has finally come where uThermy blesses us with the mythical widow mines/BC to GM
Subbed to the second channel! Of course we wanna see more silly goose plays
Great idea for a series - good pressure in the early game but sets up for some epic late-game battles. Glad I came across your channel!
Thought of a great widow mine BC combo: set a bunch of mines between an enemy expansion and the closest nexus, hive, or command center distract their army on the other side of the map to pull it away from the expansion and go in with a bunch of BCs and yamato cannon down the nexus hive or command center so that all the workers have to leave that base and go to the nearest next base and blow up on the mines you have placed between those two bases.
wow! I love the enthousiasm in this episode! Loved every minute of it.
so much energy haha. "Energy overwhelming", lol... I'll let myself out now...
My suggestion1 Queen/Hydra/Viper only, I can imagine how great it is when you pull the opponent's units on your Hydras.

I see battlecruisers i click and i like
Amen brother
YES! I'm excited about this challenge. You definitely do not disappoint.
I got 2 very silly full macro strat ideas. Either 1+ every unit(just have at least one of every unit including scv in your attack) or no attack til max.

See if you can mind game your way through early game. No clue if either is possible but they would be very silly and very funny to watch you try.
I think I'm getting close to watching uThermal almost ininterruptly for a whole year! It's been a ride!
Legitimate question with no snark at all: what does ininterruptly mean?
Those few first episodes for any new challenge is so painful to watch (from oponenent perspective), but this series should bring an absolute bangers on the higher levels!
Yeah, I always feel sorry for the lower-ranked players placed against a former pro player. It's like "You get to fight Godzilla, here's a spoon."
Yea its frankly pretty stupid. He could win those games without making any military units, just rush SCV's and win. Excellent way to deter newer players trying to get into the game.
@@jrtodd-br4zc is sc2 really so dead that you consider diamond players new?
Love the new series, keep up the great content!
Next challenge suggestion : Zerg Mass Queens+T3 (Ultralisk or Broodlors or Lurkers) to grandmaster !
i have a serious challenge for you
Rules are simple:
1) Edit out your name
-- you fail if someone discovers its you
2) Actually try on new account, whatever build, climb the ladder
-- losing on purpose loses challenge
3) I want to see what your win/loss ratio would be and end MMR after 125-175 games.
-- super simple.
-----------------------------------------------------------
CAVEAT:
you can replace "whatever build" to only uses previous challenge builds, in any order, however, you can only use the same strategy 3x in a row.
if you do a different one then go back to oldone, then that resets 3x ina row. only thing is if you lose during that game reset, you can't reset until you win.
I like this challenge. If it gets tough against Protoss later, adding liberators would be hilarious. People are so used to thinking of lib anti-air as a joke, but they're fast and their air splash radius is the same size as a disruptor's.
WAKE UP BABE, NEW BANGER SERIES BY MARC JUST DROPPED
3 things to see:-
1. break the record for most BC's in a game as close to 200 supply as possible.
2. the engineering bay block into proxy factory and walking widow mines to just sit in the natural.
3. reaper/proxy marines into proxy factory widow mine baits.....

Maybe I'm wrong, and I hope that I am, but at this exact moment my gut is telling me this series will be plagued by unfortunate losses.
Let's goooo I love this concept!! Battlecruiser +1 weird earlygame unit, you settled on widow mine and a few rax units, sounds fantastic. 😄
Bro you are getting so much great experience trying all these different strategies. This is exciting to see you be able to get new stuff man.
Rest in peace to all the diamond players who were honorably STOMPED in this episode
Once I lost as silver protoss, when someone floated a factory at the corner of my main, and started building mines there. I did not see the factory, but suddenly my base was full of mines
When thermy starts out challenges against diamonds I always imagine magnus carlsen saying ‘Allright! We did it guys!’ when I would resign a chess game against him.
After watching "normal" games in the $2500 tournament, I just want to see Thermy grind for #1 on NA. I know he would hate it, but I would enjoy.
Bangin' ! 4 widow mines in a bunker would be awesome defense. =)
Good series, thanks uThermal for doing this. I just watched #5 and I'm now going to watch episodes 1-4. It looks like a lot of fun lol
I’d love to see games where you focus on trying to go without losing any units, utilizing the tactical jump on battle cruisers to get maximum value.
Great challenge, I'm looking forward to see how this goes! I've long wanted to see you do a BC-heavy challenge, real glad to see it happen!
I want to see a mobile repair squad strategy - a medivac full of SCVs. Something like rushing with a Thor, flying him out when he's damaged, quickly repair out of vision and then drop him back off for round 2 hahah
Would love to see a series that involves mainly tank. Like, build mainly tank only until you start needing a unit that counters their counter to your tanks. Something tank though :)
Yup. Mines are such fun to watch. My all time favourite challenge that BeastyQT did was Mass Ravens + Window Mines... The most fun I've ever seen in SC2 content. So much salt, so many jebaits. ❤
"Ok we're going to survive on 20hp teleport out, excellent." Hahaha
Ty for the content. Haven't been subscribed long just found you mostly. Highly enjoy all your games
with an armory this build seems pretty sick, cause you always know which tech the enemys will make
seeing uThermal start a new challenge gives me life
"Broodwar to GM" would be a hilarious series.
New series ideas: 1-first move gotts be a nuke (reaper harassement allowed) 2- only zealot/DT/phoenix allowed 3- Zerg (something with no upgrades beside unit speed)
I have a question : how many time is going on between the time you play thoses games and the time you put them on youtube ? it is like few days or do you have some weeks videos in advance ? anyway amazing job you are doing, make me love even more SC2 :) :) Thank you very much for that !!
I'd like to see something like economy to gm. Something like you never attack, only defend and expand until the other guy gives up. That might make for games that go for a long time, so maybe have rules about being able to attack eventually.
hello again! all bc builds are going to be epic, i am sure of it.

Baiting the opponent into mine fields was cool AF
Instead of getting upset people should realize they're basically getting a free lesson from a pro player. Oh god 19:40 the uThermal micro..
"I'm gonna stick to my rule of only making a reaper". Makes a reaper AND a marine
I fought someone recently who tried this. He lost and even got salty, love this
Any SC2 video that has battlecruisers in the title is an immediate watch
Would love to see another take on mass sentry or disruptor pheonix. From zerg, something involving queen + infestor and/or swarmhosts.
this is the most exciting series since ghosts to grandmaster!
NEW SERIES LETS GOO
I see Battlecruisers, I see HYPE.
I'd like to see a game with the absolute fastest possible BC. Cut every corner, find every second.
YES, this is an epic combo
On your third game that build order was crisp at 3:50
New series idea: Air Only Protoss?! Open with oracle / phoenix, transition into proxy tempest, lategame mothership mass recall??
Shaker was doing some fairly decent defense for their MMR, kinda impressed.
Mr Thermy could you get crazy efficiency and do mass bc and teleport out of danger at the last second...
That last game was so frustrating, you sent that BC over there and killed the pylon, and then just never looked at it again. And was like, "uuugh unfortunate that I lost it." Come on man, you are better than that.
KIDDING NOT KIDDING 😁
I would love to see an ALL VIKING to GM series!
Penguin orphans to GM.
Mr Thermy could you do an episode with cloacked widow mines and snipe the detection especially for toss...
Cool your Play with Battlecruisers. This will be nice against Zerg.
Many greetings from Germany
Thermie, all your challenges are great. HOWEVER, I get a strange feeling that THIS challenge is gonna be a fuckin' banger. Super excited. Love your content bro!
Can we get some crazy hold position widow mine traps? Wait till the army is completely on top of the mines before shooting them all off at once?
yes. YES!! I say you should be able to make whatever unit would defend you from any kind of early cheese but YES!
I think dropping a widowmine next to the robo, and giving it a stop command while its invisible is a good idea.. then you just watch the timing and turn it out when its getting close to producing a observor and save a scan, lol .. make them rage quit.
Man. After watching this series, listening to his comment about tempests hits different
You had me at "Battlecruiser".
Hi @UThermal, I have noticed a picture of Heroes of the storm behind you. Could you tell a bit about that ? Do you actively still hf with it ?
"doesn't have detection" because even Pros for some reason don't like to build a single cannon in each mineral lines to counter widow mines drops
Hi Marc,
Can you put the APM counter on. Just be fun to look at here and there.
Audio seems to be a bit scuffed. High frequencies seem to be popping a bit.
YES! Thanks posting so much great content you silly goose. Look forward to your video every day. Video idea: Could you post a video showing your hands? Just general interest. 60 apm boomer here that would be interested to see what it looks like. Cheers!
Yoo that account name though. So when the Starcraft demo dropped and I first started playing online my account name was DaemonLord (in honor of the daemons from warcraft 1), before I made a new account called Nuker
BMM,Bad Manners Marc, Battlecruisers, Mines, Medivacs😂lol.
Do Ghost EMPs work on Command Center Energy? If so, that's a tactic you should consider on challenges that include Ghosts vs Terran. I could be misled of course, I haven't played in ages.
New Series, Marc combines two units to bring salt to the entire ladder. :D
I have been CRAVING battlecruiser! Thank god! Hopefully it isn't over in 10 episodes like the last one....
I was wondering why so many BCs on the ladder these days ... ..now I know why. thanks uThermal for making the new meta!
I am just waiting for thermy to play against Harstem when he is doing a BGMWSS episode. Then we get to watch crazy build matchups from both perspectives.
you are the first person i've ever subscribed to when they said they had a second channel
Insta sub, I love your content
I propose a small change to the rules for the reaper: Marc is allowed to kill one worker actively mining with his reaper. The reaper should be able to do something, and fulfilling it's purpose at least a little makes sense.
I kinda spaced out, but I heard "You can call me a silly goose in the comments" and I just can't resist
You silly goose
Now lib widow mine is gonna be a year away...
Looking forward to yamotoing observers
Great to see a new challenge!
