20:30 - One missed opportunity here - Sentries can guardian shell and reduce void ray damage to abysmal numbers. Energy recharge gives enough to make it instantly possible, no waiting time necessary.
An overcharged voidray isn't that impacted by -2 damage per tick. It goes from 16 to 14 against armored. Stalkers was the right call, for range, HP, and DPS.
Hey, so I've got for you maybe the most inefficient way to do the scv challenge. What if you loaded 3 mech units alongside 2 scvs into a medivac, so that mech units would regenerate hp while boarded, and just do a bunch of these medivacs and spam them all over the enemy's base? And control it similar to the roach burrow playstyle in fights I guess this may count as scv being the core unit Obviously its a pretty goofy concept, but it would be amazing if you could mock up a reasonable build out of it
TIL scvs can repair in flight. I wonder if the rate isn't useful, or it's too much to manage? I've often wondered about the logistics of having scvs way in back, and when you send low HP units back in a fight, they get repaired, but I never knew if that would add to the micro burden or what.
@@HackSawSees for me when scvs go for auto-repair they usually stupidly follow your units around until they get repaired, so the scvs either die, either just stand in a way of your units. The problem with medivacs though is that you usually just press the hotkey for unloading to drop, but with scvs inside you have to stop it right in time not to drop them out, you have no option to "lock" them in the medivac, so that is very annoying additional micro
@@HackSawSees Looking at the wiki it seems like the SCVs repair at their normal rate. Also works if an SCV is in a bunker with a mechanical unit. Do note that the SCV apparently can't repair the medivac/bunker that it's inside though
@@eimantasbutkus5324 It's like in Dexter's Lab: "Aha! My lifework is FINALLY COMPLETED!" (And that every show, for a kid that is just a couple years old)
It's pretty smart if you think about... people that don't know uthermal will click and then be hooked and for regular viewers we don't even pay attention to the title cause all we care about is new uthermal video... smart guy!
uThermal/Harstem+1more collab when?? I would love to see 3 nutcases run amok with weird builds that blow the team-meta to pieces. A deep series where you really dig into whats possible and combine that with your "pots n pans to GM" series. Plz, make it happen. Anything less than 3 season is not acceptable 😀
I recently had a zvp game where I rushed out some broodlords. I was lucky there was a gentleman's agreement to not attack or harass for over 5 minutes, but It was oddly satisfying and hilarious when my opponent built a bunch of immortals, and no anti-air except cannons.😅 I parked a couple around each base and got an ocean's worth of salt from my opponent
Sir mr thermy I have a game/series suggestion for you, and I've just always wondered what it would look like Always full outside bases - pull the full worker line to the outside bases to mine them out quicker Like once the natural finishes transfer all workers to the natural, and so on Workers more at risk but if you get pushed back you still have minerals in the main at 7+ mins
Game 2 was a cheese and a half of a game. Game 3 was a masterful switch up in strategy and adaptation. Marc proving once again his uncanny prowess not only to think and execute on the fly, but cast his own thoughts against his opponents. GGWP!!!
holy shit that second game was insane XD Imagine getting 3 raxed and you can just still uncaringly proxy the opponent. That's amazing XD oh, AND the whole time youre proxying them rather than defend the proxy at home you lose zero units. As cool as this new ability is surely that is broken and is gonna sadly need a nerf but WOW it was an amazing watch XD wp
For the viper challenge it would be ideal to make that many vipers to steal a worker from the enemy exp to pull it and use infestor to build a nexus/cc deep in zerg territory:)
Mass Tempest - and protoss air in general - is SO broken. I keep googling counters and the ONLY one is "Don't let them get the units." Basically, once a Protoss has mass air, there are no counters
Does anyone else get anxiety from Thermal taking so long to decide his build? He will be 5 mins into a game and finally pick a build and it all comes together perfect....
I enjoy watching you play StarCraft II. I can't play it anymore because I end up dreaming about it. The part of my brain I have to train to get back up to speed can't switch off. 😁
Hey Mister uThermal. I would really really love to see a challenge where you play zerg and Neural Parasite the opponents working and kill them with there own race.
did you do pheonix yet? best to do vs zerg. just pheonix rush and take out all the overlords so they are constantly supply blocked. they will have to sacrifice drones for for spores. and pick up kill the rest and will be mineral blocked
The last guy, i think, wanted to go for lurker, with fast 2 amelioration with 2 lurker batiment, but he didn't have hydra den so it can be Viper...? or Ultra rush. Idk in fact 🙃
i just deleted sc2 for a minute.. every time i play 2v2 i am the recipient of the entire map waterfalling their units onto me.. i cannot deal with seven goddam armies
so... what about a double nexus in range for energy charge, can yo uenergy charge yourself? nexus... you could theory craft do some interesting quad build speeding with a localized nexus thats purpose is ot simpyl be energy charged when you don't have a unit... you can get 3 more speed ups earlier then normal and continue on... an extra nexus if yo ucan't self cast ona nexus simply to burnout more speed buffs.. for faster research and building.... the timings at 6 minutes could give you an extra 3-4 carriers. and other things, if yo uhad the money.. hmm
As a total starcraft noob and not player but enjoyer of the videos.. what defines cheese? I see him/you building the things you pick at the start for your cheese but istn this just you beeing better then the enemy with what tools you pick?
cheese generally refer to builds that gain a lot of power from catching the opponent off guard. i.e., they lose a lot of power if scouted or expected. like you pointed out, there is certainly a spectrum though, with some builds being "cheesier" than others.
Love the channel but to be honest I’m liking the x to grandmaster less and less. Every episode seems like it’s just Marc being surprised that low level players don’t do builds or don’t know at all what units to use. Personally I’d rather see uthermal play at his normal mmr even if that means he loses 50% of the time instead of watching him go 29-5 in a challenge against lower players.
That sentry hold was disgusting
isnt the energy recharge too strong?
Diabolical.
That game should count as a win with the Nexus for the challenge. Need to add CC and hatch/lair/hive now
I literally pooped my pants I was so disgusted by it. Made me sick
It was beautiful, what are you talking about?

scv's can auto repair other cargo?! how am i just learning this now lol
+1 for this idea, this sounds funny

I hate waking up for work, but I love waking up to a new uThermal video. Thanks for making my day a little bit brighter.
12:55 placing that sloppy forcefield triggered the opponent to go reckless and sacrifice all the army
And that micro 🏆
With this trend uThermal will run out of more extraordinary titles very soon.
This Might Be The Most Extraordinary Title I’ve Ever Written…
You thought I would run out of extraordinary titles, but then...
You Won't Believe What Happened When I Was Writing This Extraordinary Title...
his title could be "I like mayonnaise" and would click it.
Let's be honest, I know the title is clickbait, but even without title at all, I'd watch... Cauz I love his contents, not the titles
It's a bit comical though, because the content is good enough to not need any clickbait. The clickbait almost seems as a joke element.
@@eimantasbutkus5324 It's like in Dexter's Lab: "Aha! My lifework is FINALLY COMPLETED!" (And that every show, for a kid that is just a couple years old)
It is not clickbait.
Never is with him.
Because he DELIVERS.
It's pretty smart if you think about... people that don't know uthermal will click and then be hooked and for regular viewers we don't even pay attention to the title cause all we care about is new uthermal video... smart guy!
@@AlasdairBoyd1 People are gonna stop clicking if the titles are being deceitful
Someone get that Sentry a gold medal. Hero unit with Energy Recharge.
uThermal/Harstem+1more collab when??
I would love to see 3 nutcases run amok with weird builds that blow the team-meta to pieces.
A deep series where you really dig into whats possible and combine that with your "pots n pans to GM" series.
Plz, make it happen. Anything less than 3 season is not acceptable 😀
Uthermal+ harstem + Florencio would be my 3v3 dream team
I recently had a zvp game where I rushed out some broodlords. I was lucky there was a gentleman's agreement to not attack or harass for over 5 minutes, but It was oddly satisfying and hilarious when my opponent built a bunch of immortals, and no anti-air except cannons.😅 I parked a couple around each base and got an ocean's worth of salt from my opponent
Just want to thank you, Marc, for doing these videos. I am coming home from work and am always happy when I see there is a new video.
That viper-spine one sounds super challenging
When Marc says "frick it", it's time to strap it.
And then he comes up with art on the fly... *chef's kiss*
I did not watch the video yet but I know it is going to be a banger !
It is. The 1st is satisfying, 2nd is funny, 3 is exciting, the 4th is a fishing game
Sir mr thermy I have a game/series suggestion for you, and I've just always wondered what it would look like
Always full outside bases - pull the full worker line to the outside bases to mine them out quicker
Like once the natural finishes transfer all workers to the natural, and so on
Workers more at risk but if you get pushed back you still have minerals in the main at 7+ mins
DRONE DROP
Game 2 was a cheese and a half of a game. Game 3 was a masterful switch up in strategy and adaptation. Marc proving once again his uncanny prowess not only to think and execute on the fly, but cast his own thoughts against his opponents. GGWP!!!
protoss content is just my jam thank you mark
Marc, I know you're crazy, but are you for real about doing an Observer cheese??😅
Of course I am
This video was absolutely insane. Just smashed every single opponent with that Grandmaster class in how to micro.
holy shit that second game was insane XD
Imagine getting 3 raxed and you can just still uncaringly proxy the opponent. That's amazing XD
oh, AND the whole time youre proxying them rather than defend the proxy at home you lose zero units.
As cool as this new ability is surely that is broken and is gonna sadly need a nerf but WOW it was an amazing watch XD wp
I'm calling game 2 was a sentry game for sure. Or maybe nexus?
I love watching uThermal bowling with Disruptors
For the viper challenge it would be ideal to make that many vipers to steal a worker from the enemy exp to pull it and use infestor to build a nexus/cc deep in zerg territory:)
Mass Tempest - and protoss air in general - is SO broken.
I keep googling counters and the ONLY one is "Don't let them get the units."
Basically, once a Protoss has mass air, there are no counters
Soon Lunatic Larry will run out of bubble gum.
Does anyone else get anxiety from Thermal taking so long to decide his build? He will be 5 mins into a game and finally pick a build and it all comes together perfect....
Amazing series! Making it seem so easy. You’ve reached true Protoss mastery my friend 👌
Man they need to unnerf the disrupter. The satisfaction is not in doing a lot of damage, but seeing any unit it hits die.
Cool video, have you ever played the ever troop challenge? Where you can build ever troop in a game but you can only have one unit at a time per class
that adept all-in was really, really cool.
the man, The Myth, THE LEGEND...my bad, hot keyed caps lock 🤣🤷🏻♂️
That perfect game was insane.
Love your videos man!
In the last game maybe he got an infestor pit to go for a hive so he could get the zergling upgrade?
I enjoy watching you play StarCraft II.
I can't play it anymore because I end up dreaming about it. The part of my brain I have to train to get back up to speed can't switch off. 😁
Hey Mister uThermal. I would really really love to see a challenge where you play zerg and Neural Parasite the opponents working and kill them with there own race.
Wow... without words, I loved the games... greetings from Mexico!
Oh man, your video titles are always so clickbaity, you understood youtube. 😁
Great Videos, stay as you are, it's really entertaining.
you know, i never really thought about it before - there's no robo units that shoot up. lol.
miss the dragoon now
the disruptors zoning with novas while the stalkers hit freely is so op
not op, it's pain that is enjoyable to watch, spectator. Specially when instigated by Lunatic Larry
Tempest is my favorite unit in the game. I hope they buff Tempest. Increase speed and rate of fire.
My approach to greed; you'll never know if you don't try!
"try again bro " xD
Energy recharge cheese, proxy nexus in enemy main then send oracles over for infinite energy
here we go!
the last episode was one of the best.
did you do pheonix yet? best to do vs zerg. just pheonix rush and take out all the overlords so they are constantly supply blocked. they will have to sacrifice drones for for spores. and pick up kill the rest and will be mineral blocked

The second guy should be really pissed 🤣
Not the first comment, but sometimes perfection takes time (4 minutes).
Love what you do man!!!!❤
I'm back to steal cheese builds...
Wreak havoc..."wreck havoc" makes no sense.
Could be a player named havoc? ;) He's dutch, remember that.
Is energy recharge more OP than battery overcharge? Seems like it counters every cheese.
One sentry to rule them all!
Game 2 uThermal had a perfect game... may due to Tailwind ;-)
Eh... Marc...
I see all three workers still there. And Zealots... How are you going to do those at the higher levels? :D
No comment
every time i play 2v2 its just 2vs me with no help from my teammate who literally makes six marines and then gets supply blocked
impeccable plays
❤ Game sound was a little loud in this one.
Part of me feels like he went tempests this game because of a 1v 10 bronze challenge :)
wait, overlords attack?
a WHYfestation Pit
My goodness! Tempest cheese is disgusting! Do it more!
i just deleted sc2 for a minute.. every time i play 2v2 i am the recipient of the entire map waterfalling their units onto me.. i cannot deal with seven goddam armies
Never targeted the larvae?
How come? :3
I imagine that would be the most frustrating thing on earf
Energy Recharge to GM!
The lack of GGs on this games lol.
uThermal, could you do a poll of how many viewers play the game v how many do not? I want to see how many of me there are! 😀
Poor lunaticlarry 😂

Retired pro 6k mmr if he tries uses every unit coupled with near perfect macro and micro to defeat 4400-5200 mmr opponents 😂
