He does such a great job of talking through and explaining all his moves with their potential outcomes. Even though I don't play sc2 this has quickly become one of my favorite channels. Can also tell he is such a menace to people's usual style which forces interesting games. Overall great stuff.
I never played ladder, and just minimum campaign. Got the game at an unfortunate time…. But 100% agree. I feel like I understand how to play just from watching thermy!
@@CUBEoneVX Exactly! I don't think I have known someone with a more contagious good attitude than Uthermal. I don't even play SC2, I subscribed because of him, not what he plays.
A cheese that might be really funny. Instead of burrowing the zergling under the cc position, you burrow like 20 zerglings or 2 banelings in the mineral line of the 3rd base, then when he saturates, you unburrow and kill the scvs. Risks are that he scans anyway, or that he builds a turret before saturating.
ultralisks are so cool, when they pop off they really give me the feeling of the Zerg swarm overwhelming everything it encounters, that is what made Zerg my favorite back in the days of SC/BW. Zerg in SC2 somehow feel much flimsier to me than in the original, but every now and then, like in game 2, I catch a glimpse of the monster that was...
Thank you uThermal for making sc content the way you do, youre so descriptive about what is going on, i can listen to you while doing other things and still follow along. Truly impressive!
Haha it's so funny how many ZvZs you get. I actually love watching ZvZ so I'm not complaining - it's the fastest craziest matchup around, a dirty knife-fight every time, and you make it even better. I only wish there were more deep late-game ZvZ potential, never really seem to get to hive tech.
Marc, don't stop this challenge until you start losing more than you win. You have a lot left for this challenge and I'd love to see you go against top 20 players with this cheese
I'm not sure how it went exactly, but a while ago (2/3 years?) I saw someone Neural a probe or scv and yoink it across the map to build a nexus or CC. Is that kind of stuff still doable? if so, can you do it? Extra kudos if you manage to build a CC and transition into BC
Every time you play hydras they just beat everything! I'm sure there are times when they wouldn't, but you really do make them look unfair. Great games as always:)
Hydras are the worst unit in the game though. Compared to marines they have less dps and less hp at twice the cost. +1 range and speed to compensate though lol. Luckily zerg has infestors and melee units.
Ultra-cheese? Can you imagine it in real life? Like you're minding your own business, when these elephant size things suddenly jump up from underground!
my comments weirdly get banned 😂 keeping it simple ultras are 15m+ in height^^ theres some spreadsheets out there with height comparison of units .. game depiction is far off of actual dimensions i think there was even a point where ultras got downsized with some patches
Next challenge: hybrid/infested to grandmaster. When playing ZvP or ZvT, you must capture a probe or SCV and use it to build a base. Extra credit for building a mothership or a fleet of BC.
Hello form DOWNTOWN ! Question: Why is it that i played a few 2v2 games, and we got ranked into masters, while on our profile it is showing 2400 mmr bronze ? Is the match making broken? If you, how would we be possible to properly rank up ?
I have a good challenge for you : Rush a hidden base and make sure it stays alive during the game, which will imply a lot of mind game to convince your opponent not to scout
The only thing that wasn't clean as hell in this whole video was the typo in the title screencap. "Utralisks" 🤣 Even then you could play it off as just a soft ribbing of your own English accent. Great vid as always, Marc. Go Team UThermal!
That'd be awesome. Burrow queen spine rush with drones in the overlords, have the 'lords drop creep. Marc's favorite, creep spread from the opponents base.
Another episode full of laughs 😂 "The play of play of ultimate plays" (same energy as "60% of the time, it works every time") 🤣 That game 4 second drop double deception - poor Lamo! ⚰⚰
How long until the pros have to consider a reaper-wall-like defense against the ling drop rush? Surely leaving an ovie, a pylon, a depot at edges of bases is the bare minimum demanded by this strat, if it's executed well
hi Mark, I really enjoy watching your games and hearing the analyzes you do! I would really like to see the lower right screen in the game, but right now you are placing your video there. I wanted to suggest that you move the video screen a little to the left, where the faces of all the active units are. In fact, most of your video screen contains the background of the room, and if you crop the image and leave only your head, it will fit perfectly in place of the faces of the active units. :)

Most important thing, he is having fun, he is laughing and smiling all the time.
I like how he explains things to those of us who don't know the game. His enthusiasm is contagious
Same here m8

Lamo deserves a medal for gg'ing out of these games. Impressive mental fortitude.
He had a good strategy in late, gg to him
what else should lamo do if he can't win?

You can see him through 3 scans on the path with the ultralisks. I think he was mega scared and just scanned everywhere. :D
Congrats to Lamo for gg'ing on that last game. Must have been excruciating.
28:33 uthermal: I don’t want to mess with timings.
Also uthermal: well I made 6 extra overlords but not a big deal we’ll make it work. 😂
If you go for those fast-hive builds in the future, don't forget the crack-ling upgrade. Major DPS boost on the lings, even without melee upgrades.
Thank you uThermal for making sc content the way you do, youre so descriptive about what is going on, i can listen to you while doing other things and still follow along. Truly impressive!

15:55 If those Lings were Banes that would've been so funny!
18:08 the cyclops just chilling
I would definitely watch a 100% uthermal zerg channel 😅
"I think I killed 6 drones or something"
> Has scorescreen up with 2 worker kills. Never change
Marc, don't stop this challenge until you start losing more than you win. You have a lot left for this challenge and I'd love to see you go against top 20 players with this cheese

SCV really isn't practical to neural, need to keep re-neuraling it until it finishes building. Probe works though, if you can sneak it away proper.
In the 2nd game he knew there was something there because you were able to see and kill his cyclones even though there wasn't creep or an overlord.
that stutter step lings on the scv then a split for the banes was insane decision making
also in reference to the somewhat recent proscene: the one swarm host challenge... no matter the build, spice it up with a single swarm host
Every time you play hydras they just beat everything! I'm sure there are times when they wouldn't, but you really do make them look unfair. Great games as always:)
I always say hydras deal infinite damage, they just have 0 health.
Hydras are the worst unit in the game though. Compared to marines they have less dps and less hp at twice the cost. +1 range and speed to compensate though lol.
Luckily zerg has infestors and melee units.
@@Name-ru1kt Hydras have double the dps and double the hp at triple the cost.
the series should be called "bullying Lamo into rank 1"
Hey Marc, are you planning to do any Stormgate content? Kickstarter is huge succees and I would love to see how you come by new builds in new game.
That moment when uthermal comment "This gonna be the play of plays of ultimate plays...." 😂
I have never played SC2 and I feel I know how to play just by watching you playing these crazy games.
This was the perfect video to watch while drinking my morning coffee.
Thank you Mark! ggwp
Your Zerg cheeses are my favorite. Here is one I hope you'll try: 12 pool into 12 proxy hatch. Thanks for another great video!
The last game was spectacular!
Utter domination, I'm still thinking how that could have been stopped... some bunkers?
Dude, you corrected the typo in your thumbnail, nobody does that. It's the little things that add up to perfection.
How could I not after reading someone's comment on it :D
1:09 I feel like he was looking at me specifically 🤔
Blizz! Uthermals changing the meeetaaa agaain! Poor grandmasters.
When he found the Ultras, he scanned the Whole path, you can just catch the edge of it in the video.
Ultra-cheese?
Can you imagine it in real life? Like you're minding your own business, when these elephant size things suddenly jump up from underground!
my comments weirdly get banned 😂
keeping it simple ultras are 15m+ in height^^
theres some spreadsheets out there with height comparison of units .. game depiction is far off of actual dimensions
i think there was even a point where ultras got downsized with some patches
You must not have seen the cutscenes where that actually happens and they are the size of 20 story buildings...
@cuddlecakes7153 I probably have, maybe in the heart of the swarm? But it's been a while sinse I played campaigns. 🤔 Maybe I should replay them again
uthermal paid that widow mine.. omg those scvs
Somehow got dropped phrase "from downtown!" which was with us for a couple of weeks)
lol the pause rage quit
You're the GOAT of Sc2 entertainment
uThermal! Tell us about your gym routine!
"Spreading Creep To GM." It's time you turned creep-laying to your sinister advantage.
The last widow mine shot. 😮 Killed half of his svcs
Called this. The age of burrowed ultras has arrived
That last game was hilarious
Next challenge: hybrid/infested to grandmaster. When playing ZvP or ZvT, you must capture a probe or SCV and use it to build a base. Extra credit for building a mothership or a fleet of BC.
That one scan of the ultras was so disappointing, especially after the timing of missing the timing for the burrow in the middle of the map!
Was it worth it at 14:50 to reveal your burrow strategy for that single block?
Hello form DOWNTOWN ! Question: Why is it that i played a few 2v2 games, and we got ranked into masters, while on our profile it is showing 2400 mmr bronze ? Is the match making broken? If you, how would we be possible to properly rank up ?
other zerg challenge ideas: no zerglings before 5 minutes. aka no early game zerglings
I have a good challenge for you : Rush a hidden base and make sure it stays alive during the game, which will imply a lot of mind game to convince your opponent not to scout
poor Lamo... that was brutal

Can you load queens in dropperlords? A Queen drop challenge would be sick. With burrow.
That'd be awesome. Burrow queen spine rush with drones in the overlords, have the 'lords drop creep. Marc's favorite, creep spread from the opponents base.
Another episode full of laughs 😂
"The play of play of ultimate plays" (same energy as "60% of the time, it works every time") 🤣
That game 4 second drop double deception - poor Lamo! ⚰⚰
How these terran's always scan your burrows is beyond me. Either they have crazy good intuition or super lucky. Lmao
16:35
what you're here for
Ok next challenge. Do a SC1 challenge. All random but you can only build units and structures that were in SC1
Protoss without Stalkers, Adepts, Void Rays, Immortals or Tempests, ouch.
I still want to seriously see how the heck the ultralisk teleported from the cocoon to the middle of buildings.😭😂 It's bothering me so much
Im just always puzzled how you hold in these ZvZs without even making a spine. Like in game 1
How long until the pros have to consider a reaper-wall-like defense against the ling drop rush? Surely leaving an ovie, a pylon, a depot at edges of bases is the bare minimum demanded by this strat, if it's executed well
U should do something with marauders like marauder viking
He made me wanna play sc2 again. I’m playing campaign 😂. Next up is uhhh co-op then uhh maaaaybe ladder
Has an ultra drop ever been a thing? Is that just crazy, or crazy enough to work?
Broodlord rush pleeeeease!! Love your channel!
16:27 Zergling... splash damage? :D
uthermal is the GOAT
Pure Pwnage is so 2003 😂
Pure Positivity is here 🤩

Eh sounds a bit weird. Most face cams are like his, its a brand thing.
ultralisks drops out of droperlords would be interestering
if you kill a building that's working on upgrades, if the upgrades are not canceled, do you lose the money invested into it?
When Scarlet see this she going crazy 😂
Its so good. 😂 gg!
GGs!
Ling Drop is pretty impressive. But have you considered Ling Drop into Ultralisk Rush?
@uThermal - Do you have replay packs?
Yep, replay packs go to YT members/patreon subs :)
What happened to roach hydra??
Do you say ling all in or ling-a-ling?
let's go!
Bro really burrowed 6 Ultralisks.
God damn it Thermy, you silly Goose
Ultralisks drop in the next episode???😊
Maybe you can use the dropalord from the start of the game to drop ultras in the main? Would be good clickbait.
thermi, can you stop bullying lamo already? the poor dude is probably questioning everything he thought he knew about SC2.
Poggers
👀🙏🥰
Let's go!
