Hell yeah! Why not just title the tournament prep as a challenge series--like the "unchained challenge", or maybe something clever with like a warm/hot temperature pun to go with the uThermal name--where the "rules" are just "play Terran, use all the tools, train & get wins". Then rack up all the challenge clicks & views at the same time while honing your tourney skills 🙂. I don't think every challenge series necessarily always has to have the exact same "take MMR as high as it can go with extra constraints imposed on yourself" structure... either way, I'm totally here for this too.
This actually could be the new meme build that works against pros. His opponents will expect him to do some memey cheese tactic, like proxy mass Cyclone or Widow Mines walking in through a mineral wall that was mined out by a Mule, or whatever, and then worry themselves to death and do all sorts of inefficient things like sending too many workers to scout or playing too safe. When in fact uThermal will be playing normally and getting a huge economy advantage because his opponents played themselves.
I wonder if he’s any good anymore if he’s not able to talk through everything he’s doing as he does it. It’s possible his level of gameplay relies on it by now lol.
I haven't followed the Korean scene for almost a decade, but I'd have to imagine with all the goodwill and good vibes you've fostered as your channel has grown, you will have the most true fans cheering you on of any player in the tournament at this point. Let's go Marc!
I love seeing your challenges, but I think its really cool to see what you can pull off when you actualy try. Seeing how you prepare for pro games is something we don't see often and its a different way of seeing the game
There's also something commendable about identifying your own strengths and weaknesses and determining what is most likely to lead to success. That, to me, is the definition of "actually trying".
You can really see how much more serious and perfectionist you get for this. Good luck thermy!! Take care of your mental and go as hard as you enjoyably can! We're rooting for you! 🤞
You are a joy to watch. Keep it up! It’s cool to see the thought process of such high level play occur in real time. Hearing other people sportscast a game has its own vibe, but more often than not they are guessing at the players thought process. You manage to do it all while keeping an upbeat attitude and the watcher gets totally invested with you.
That's epic news. I wouldn't even mind you focusing on serious practice and uploading less often, just so you can get more highest level games in - ofc within your daily schedule limits and as long as you don't burn out. Already wishing you best of luck Thermy xD
I love your content and video ideas so much! And every time I think man....how cool would it be if Uthermal did this or that... you actually have a video on it! Just literally the coolest stuff one can come up with... you turn it into videos!
I am looking forward to these videos where you are trying to improve without added challenges. Great combination of learning and entertainment. I will cheer for you and hope you have lots of fun this tournament.
Damn, it's a satisfying vid watching you play/real-time commentate on your highest MMR account while facing some proper ranked pros in a non-cheese fashion. Love seeing when you outplay an opponent, but also love when you make a mistake/lose a trade but are still hyped because it's an exciting battle and can appreciate the enemy dub in the moment... I feel like the fact you can plainly recognize and respect when you're bested in certain circumstances is actually very strategically valuable... You exhibit the least toxic behavior of all time. Idk how you do it, but it's such a good example you set, and really drives passion for this game
I another one that doesn't play SCII but it always a pleasure to watch you play whether it's a crazy challenge or playing "properly". It truly amazes me how you can play so well at the same time as commentating.
I like to imagine one of these tournaments are gonna have the ability to pick up audio of players (probably just a thing they have for other games), and they're gonna notice that UThermal is talking on his camera and swap to it and get a weirdly in depth guide to what is happening from UThermal's perspective that is so accurate and so perfect the casters just stop talking and let UThermal shoutcast his entire tournament run
Awesome! Excellent commentary. I watch tournaments with a friend alot. I have never played, they have a bit. I've learned all the units, typical strats, counters, etc. What escapes us both is the economic reasons why certain things do or dont happen. So hearing you talk about upgrades, timings, and resource management is wonderful.
25:57 Protoss often over extends slightly with the disruptor ; might be worth sending a medvac with a ghost and marauder to snipe them and boost back quickly after scan
I'd love to see more videos like this. The challenges are fun, but this is also just as great just in a different way, and variety is the spice of life
Definitely an exciting time to be a uThermal fan! I am stoked for this series. Loving all your content. Also really encourage you to make your silver league micro and macro a series. Those games are such a blast to watch as you navigate each side (macro/micro) and have to work around your partner's limits.
It would be very cool if you built some medivacs in mid game to get some mech drops in. Also good to save some tanks against disrupter!! But great game, and good luck for the tournament!!
When you are actually in the tournament, I'd LOVE to see you "turn on" your most badass "get the win" approach instead of the "let's have fun" for the short time. I have confidence in you and the insights that you've gotten with your crazy exercises will really help.
You are extremely good Mark. The way you can narrate the game while playing is better than anyone else out there. You obviously have the brain power to make it happen. Now you just need to perform.
I really enjoy the plan of watching you develop your game for a particular goal. It’s fascinating and encouraging to see you taking steps against higher players and building your confidence to know once again that you can compete in those environments
100% this is what id like to see the most! You going (sort of) full tryhard with a combination of meta builds and actual effective cheeses! Really hyped for this series
YES!!!!! So happy you're trying to make it there. I already made the way to Homestory just to get your autograph but will be great to see my favorite Terran at the world championship. Good luck!
I like the way Marc put it, 1st learn from his mistakes through playing a lot,2nd get a cheese to counter pros better than him. That's a good strategy. I still wanted to see Marc play against Serral once on ladder. at 18:25 that split was very good from Gerant.
It's so interesting to watch you all the time, doing these crazy challenges and restrictive gameplay - which you usually end up doing really well! But now, watching as you are playing more seriously, without any limitations, I don't think that tournament is ready for the crazy and awesome strategies you're going to bring haha. #TeamThermy all the way dude, I am rooting for you! Thanks for the videos :D
I've been following you for a year or so as my "everynight going to sleep video" (but too entertaining to sleep in front of it) and was leggit wanting you to play for the win without challenges, so I'm looking forward indeed for that serie ! GL & HF for your tournamment !
Building Banshees against Protoss is normally useless unless they start using Disruptors then just 4 cloaked Banshees can help take them out, and they can be used as distractions/backup/worker-killers when not hunting Disruptors. They can't send the Disruptors forward at will to throw out their balls, or keep them back to keep them safe, they have to keep them in the centre of their army or they are easily picked off. It's like what Protoss do with their Prism full of storms, you don't need much supply invested to force your opponent's playstyle into a knee-jerk reaction of protecting their Disruptors.
Marc, we really want you to win. I have a wild idea for you. In the evenings, set aside time to practice mentally. If you're actually going to win, you'll need to beat the best. So practicing against randoms will not aid you in the final game. You'll need to have practiced mentally, at the peak of your imagination. You can review concepts, builds, your feelings around the 150 tvp transition. Go over the game step by step, in your mind. This is a massively valuable step that you may already be doing, but it would also be really cool to have a video explaining this experience, and how you prepared for the tournament. A behind the scenes, and something that could be shared after the event. You can absolutely win this. Practice smarter, not harder.
Oh, cool news! Watched video right away! Yes, really enjoyed it, to answer last Q! When I'm thinking about Marc playing in tournaments - first what comes to mind is a mix of challenges and "normal" strategies. I remember the moments when during the challenge videos Marc was saying like "Oh, it now would be really good to build these units to win, but we can't because of challenge rules". Hope in tournament this won't be a problem! :) PS thought - would HSC and ESL weeklies be a nice way to practice? PPS - Radhuset Station is a cool map, delivers cool games!
Really exited to see that you are going for more serious gaming! Of course I liked the challanges, but now it is entertaining to watch you go hard. :D Motivates me to play better sc2
Oh man the return of thermy to the circuit. This is exciting! Not expecting you to return full time but this is really awesome. My guess for a cyclone timing with tvp is cyclone into mines while building up bio? You can use the factories to help build up the starport's reactors/labs as well. So maybe a 2 factory reactor for cyclone into 1 factory mine while the second factory builds the add ons.
Loving the content! You probably know this, but the new cyclones don't auto lock on to buildings, you can still manually trigger the lock on to get higher dps. It seemed like you could have gotten two more of the nexus in the last game if you had used the lock on (at 34:01 and 38:55), or maybe that's what you meant by "I don't have rapid fire"?
Most of all I am really impressed by you attitude @uThermal. Detached, enjoying, laughing. It is really refreshing and encouraging, well I guess. On my side it is more anger, despair, tilting, depressing. I would not mind some tips on the mindset struggles. Thank you
The reason I subscribed to uThermal is his jovial attitude How fresh he makes the game (Seriously pro-games can be a real snooze fest) I used to watch a lot of Lowko but this ginger-ninja has something else
Follow up build suggestion: attack with cyclons and then go tank and widow mines, while pushing you can build 2 techlabs with the barracks, build 2 extra barracks and put one on the fact. reactor and one on the extra techlab, go tanks marine marouder with this. Medivacs would miss but you can probably put down the starport during attack. Then going single Medivac at a time. with the second factory you can build a reactor for the starport as you want
I'm just rooting for you bro, so you can do anything and I'm watching! Lol ironically I just watched an old video where you say it'd take a huge meta shift for you to return to pro league. You said it gets dry and demanding. If you're happy and having fun I'm sure the community agrees that we support you!
Nice, love to see some try hard late game mechanics! It might be difficult for the pros to play you, because they'll feel the pressure to win vs a no-longer-officially-pro. They know that you're one of the best at cheeses and mind games, and would be scared of falling for some trap looking silly. At the same time they also know that you have a very solid late game, so it's not like they can just play safe and be guaranteed the win if they live through the opening. Must be a nightmare to vs tryhard uthermal in a tournament, and I trust uthermal to make the most of that mental pressure. :D glhf
I'm with everyone else when i say i'm really excited to see you go for it. I can't wait to see the tourney. These were great games and i know they'll just keep getting better with more practice
Can we take a minute to appreciate our boy Marc/Uthermal. The dude is making stupid ridiculous content for us... Yet if this man tried, he would be easily a top 5 Best terran player... The dude, is funny, brings us all manners of horse**** yet has incredible skill and talent. We are too lucky to have this guy making "bunker rush to grandmaster" or my personal favorite "penguin brothers" to grand master. And as much as i love all that, I do love seeing you be a sweaty try hard. =)
I typically don’t comment, but I want you to know that this, to me, is even more entertaining than an “insert here” to gm. Good luck on the qualifiers, keep being you.
Of all your challenge series, I recall "speed running SC2" getting to some of the highest MMR. I wanna say you remarked that it had reached higher than your main account by the end. Maybe being able to hold against those strategies is a point of separation between 'common' ladder GMs and pros, though.
I don't put a lot of stock in improving weaknesses. There are certainly times when one must do this, but far more important is being aware of your weaknesses so you can refine and hone your strengths.
On Cyclone game One two punch with blue flame helion for the mineral after speed can be good. And if you can add few mine for the army. I think it could be an excellent trap.
Let's call this the "Playing tryhard" Challenge. I am hyped for this one. (But keep an eye on your health)
100%
"Beating Grandmasters with Tryharding"
Hell yeah! Why not just title the tournament prep as a challenge series--like the "unchained challenge", or maybe something clever with like a warm/hot temperature pun to go with the uThermal name--where the "rules" are just "play Terran, use all the tools, train & get wins".

@@indnwkybrdplaying normal terran is not a challenge, it is called playing the game…
Ooh, let's see uThermal unleashed, no challenge, just trying to win! I love challenges, but it is interesting to see as well
Agreed. Both are great to see
I wonder if he’s any good anymore if he’s not able to talk through everything he’s doing as he does it. It’s possible his level of gameplay relies on it by now lol.

Im really interested in seeing Thermy go tryhard to see how high he can fly. ❤
I would say “don’t cheese, actually try” but your cheeses are becoming the new best way to play 😂
I think being absolutely unpredictable is the way to go. Very few players can go as weird as uThermal, so he should take advantage of that.
@@inthefadeyeah. Only dark is
There's also something commendable about identifying your own strengths and weaknesses and determining what is most likely to lead to success. That, to me, is the definition of "actually trying".
Gather the best cheeses and practice transitions?
@@inthefade uThermal's improvisation is ridiculously effective skill
Love this! I have been wanting to see series where you play at your highest level. Glad to see it here!
" still feeling a bit rusty" then proceeds to evaporate Gerald lol
We've seen so much fun cheese from you, it's nice see you play some straight-up games. Enjoying it, let's see more!
It would be so interesting to see you prep and how they think playing try-hard. Excited for this series!!!
You can really see how much more serious and perfectionist you get for this. Good luck thermy!! Take care of your mental and go as hard as you enjoyably can! We're rooting for you! 🤞

I'd love more of this type of content

Good luck man. I'm rooting for you. I hope you qualify...AND I hope you WIN!
man all those games looked super clean. That second game against Geralt looked insanely clean. Well played good sir!
I think you can do well as long as you do your own thing but refine and maximize your best chesses. GL either way man, you are awesome
The over reactions you cause can definitely be part if your strategy too
I didn´t even play this game for a few years but still like your videos. You are such a friendly and chill guy
The reason I subscribed to uThermal is his jovial attitude
How fresh he makes the game (Seriously pro-games can be a real snooze fest)

"Heavy gym session" heck ya brother! Love hearing that
Go for it! You've rekindled my interest in the game, I think I might watch that tournament
The only time they loses when he gets intimidated by the name. When he doesn't know who he is playing, he does much better.
The observer at 6:24 was well hidden - masked by visual effects of mineral mining
Those were great games with Geralt, love seeing the tournament prep games!
Doing all of those challenges was like wearing a weight suit that you can now rip off and FULLY UNLEASH
It's so cool to see you playing without limitations. I, for one, love this content as much as the challenges ❤
@uThermal can you do these extra practices LIVE??? and if so what time would u be doing these so i could make sure to make it
Can we take a minute to appreciate our boy Marc/Uthermal. The dude is making stupid ridiculous content for us... Yet if this man tried, he would be easily a top 5 Best terran player...
The dude, is funny, brings us all manners of horse**** yet has incredible skill and talent.
We are too lucky to have this guy making "bunker rush to grandmaster" or my personal favorite "penguin brothers" to grand master.

Beautiful play uThermal. I love how varied your play style can be.
lets goooooooooooooooo im so stoked to watch this journey
This is some exciting news! Hope you find some good use of the innovation and flexibility you have developed by doing your challanges.
Good luck, we’re with you! 🙌🏽

I don't put a lot of stock in improving weaknesses. There are certainly times when one must do this, but far more important is being aware of your weaknesses so you can refine and hone your strengths.

your are fascinating to watch. I love watching someone so skilled and make it look so easy.
I would watch more. Your commentary and post game thoughts are really great.
the man's playing on top level while commentating and I can't even follow. amazing stuff
Good luck Mark! Please take me through the journey of understanding the meta and other strategies. 🧐
Can't wait to see planetary fortress rush / mass ghost or other stuffs at such a tournament xD
if your strength is the micro, double down on the 2-3 medivacs for the secondary attack - people can't handle the extra layer of micro from 2+ fronts
Please go for it! Love see you playing from Costa Rica!
Good Luck and Good Fortune in the Tournament!!!
Can't wait to see widow mines and liberators, after recent changes those are my two fav units.
