Before this dropped I was watching Harstem get hit by Uthermal's penguin brothers. It's like Harstem saying "That's not a build. This guy plays like a prick!" Summoned another Uthermal penguin brothers video, and I could not be happier for it.
You’re indeed a super star. I’m a plat/diamond tier. Every time I see a weird build or unit combo like yours, I asked the opponent if they’re uthetmal fans, they mostly say yes.😂
What I really like about penguin brothers is that there’s no real gimmick. Just two good units that cover each others’ weaknesses that people don’t really consider
it's the wobble. people overrate speed, slow and tanky is good, hit and run is fine. I often combined it with marauders, though, I really liked the shells. Calling such a tactic penguin brothers is just golden. The allies knowing the strategy and all of them adding to it was nice to see too! Great games.
Occasionally loitering SCV: So.... care to explain? P: ....uhhh...what? o.o SCV: You building a pylon? P: Me? Building a pylon? SCV: Blocking my base? P: Me? Blocking your base? SCV: Harassing my SCVs? P: Me? Harass your SCVs? SCV: Messing up my plans? P: We? Why would we mess up your plans? SCV: Wait.... why do you sound like there's 12 of you?
There used to be a bug where if an scv was building a gas geyser, and you cancelled it while the scv was in the middle, the scv could get stuck. Some people did this deliberately on their opponent's gases, which prevented them from building gas.
I would love to see a wingman series where Marc plays 2v2 with a teammate from his discord and we can get double penguin brothers, double PF rush, super fast double star port battle cruiser etc.
First time I've heard about Penguin Brothers, I was like "Da hell is Penguin Brothers? Is that some lore joke I'm missing?". Then you've explained the origins, and it made way more sense that it had any right to do. I fell in love with it And now, many months later we're back with THIS banger. My cheek hurt from smiling at the first teammate :D
"I feel like you just have a way better chance of defending things." Queue Rainman calculations: 2.75 / 3 * 10 ... ((Processing)) ... "i don't know ... 9.15." (9.166667 actual)🤯22:32
Heard a couple of wacky and fun build names elsewhere, such as the 'archon toilet' (mothership vortex +archon splash) but 'the penguin brothers is definitely up there :D
That Zealot pack death on 19:12 hurt my soul a little. Especially whey they tried to run away, at least let the dudes do some damage before their demise - they could have take one or two Vikings with them, maybe damage some more. But no they had to run around the army of units shedding them. Even committing to killing the workers would be better.
Hey Marc! :) Indeed, no games are greater & or better if not the best once, when the random team mate. Truly care & got the same common feeling. And goes with the flow together!
loved this episode! you got so enthusiastic when that first player confirmed he knew the penguin brothers. that was such a lovely moment! it sparked joy in me.
I'm not at all surprised that active good gamers know the penguin brothers build, as my friends that quit playing SC2 years ago still watch uThermal every day and know the penguin bros. You brought many ex-gamers back to SC2.
I've never played a game of starcraft in my life, I've never even seen it running on a PC before. Everything I know about SC2, I know from watching uThermal. I've been watching about two years or so, and this is the only starcraft channel I've ever watched. What can I say? I think you're the starcraft guy lol. I love the penguin brothers build, but my favourite games are ghost nukes.
Hey, if there are several names for this strategy then let me pitch to You: "Penguin Brothers DeLuxe". Two elements are added. 1: With first scout in face of enemy You leave emblem/medal "Second place" emote. I have seen You done it before. 2: Right before huge attacks type in all chat "Do You feel cold brother?". And as bonus You can drop it on all strategies. For example "OG Penguin Brothers" and "OG Penguin Brothers DeLuxe".
Christmas came early with this episode! 🐧🎄🐧 Great team play and builds popping off - it's like a warm hug on a cold winter day. Now I want to see "The Antarctica" -- 4v4, with all teammates doing penguin brothers 😂
Edit: I wrote this early in and have since seen Marc talking about it. And to answer the question: I think Hunter variation is stun marauders and Vikings. Armor upgrades for marauders and attack upgrades for Vikings. Please correct me if I’m wrong or confirm I got it right. I’d argue that there are 4 penguin brothers. Hellbats and Vikings for sure. And thors but.. marauders too. I would like Marc to open with marauders (which i know is terrible) or just rush the og bros. But definitely have stun-marauders mixed in. Think, they get massive damage from Vikings and hellbats but you use marauders to target fire each enemy to stun them. Could also just focus the stun on whatever unit you think is most effective. I’m ignorant as to all the mechanics of stun Grenada though. I don’t know if they work on mech type units or just bio.
there's precedent for being more suspicious of protoss, the probe can start a building and just leave it so their cheeses or just basic messing with you via buildinhs is less commitment of the worker compared to the other two races
That last [dbl reactor] build is something i keep in my toolbox for zergs that always seem ready for me, but due to their hubris, never scout. PiG did a 2016 video - The PiG Daily #24 - on it called: "Fastest Marine Drop Ever TvZ" and highlighted BeastyQT and Gumi doing it, breaking it down. I've given it so many reps and explored all follow ups. It can be so strong. I love it - when it works. Sometimes I go _double_ lib and try seige over where I'm dropping.. 👌🏽on some maps I'm in their main @4:40
Barcode was the red terran who did BCs you squashed in the first game with the Penguin Bros, so it's no wonder that he was more than happy to join in and be on the winning side of it the during the second game 😏
I dunno which one is more impressive... the SC2 skills, or the on-point mental math at 22:59. 9.15 out of 10 is within 0.2% of exact. "Or something like that", indeed.
I would love to see some energy recharge teamwork. Energy recharge your teammates vipers or medivacs, that kind of thing. Also if you steal someones probe as zerg, can you make a nexus and recharge your own vipers?
I've seen a study on why people on the internet are generally a lot more toxic than in real life, because the anonymity frees you from just about all responsibility, and so there's no point being polite. Assuming that study isn't bogus, barcodes get double the anonymity, and so they pack double the toxicity.
Penguin bros are on the "safer" cheeses. Not a cheese, but a ligitimate strategy. BTW. In 2v2 your allies hate you if they need to babysit you. And they love when you go into aggressive harassment 2:00-7:00 minutes in the game. Your economy is non existent. But your ally has 200 vs 80+80. He feels good.
Terran is the master race. If you are the pro, it will make your winning rate 100% no matter what. It has everything from the starting phase, middle phase, to the end game. It has everything in mining (free 0 miners), flyable structures (and repairable), anywhere scan and stationary scan, teleportable air units with yamato lasers that can annihilate and annoy, strongest missile turrets, complete versatile lock-on/free range ground to air units (and also ground), complete versatile lock-on/free range air to ground units, ground and air siegeable units with very high damage outputs, healers+transporters+with thruster jet packs, hidden ground units that can do everything from sniping, nuking, disabling (ghosts), hidden air units that can scout and do everything (banshee), and all things. Repairable units for mechanics and healable units for bio. And ALL GROUND units are RANGED so you can bait and kite. Anyone who loses using Terran is losers.
Hey Marc hear me out. Since you're doing some fun 2v2 games would it be possible to do a Terran protoss team and do a ghost oracle timing with the new energy recharge utilize the stasis and time a Nuke on the army when it ends? Just curious it would be cool to pull it off. You might have to get the timing down though😅
Before this dropped I was watching Harstem get hit by Uthermal's penguin brothers. It's like Harstem saying "That's not a build. This guy plays like a prick!" Summoned another Uthermal penguin brothers video, and I could not be happier for it.
What was that video named?
@joepaden7724 ua-cam.com/video/KakgWXXy5gw/v-deo.htmlsi=5sZbVT0pa9Xmu8XA
Uthermal ruins my terran adventure.
The harstem-side vid ua-cam.com/video/LsVNo8IjKvk/v-deo.html
best quote ever, as soon as he says that you see an army waddle into his base " this guy is a prick"
Tried watching Harstem. The guy plays with no joy. After watching Uthermal I just couldn’t watch him.
You’re indeed a super star. I’m a plat/diamond tier. Every time I see a weird build or unit combo like yours, I asked the opponent if they’re uthetmal fans, they mostly say yes.😂
I’m in NA server btw.
What I really like about penguin brothers is that there’s no real gimmick. Just two good units that cover each others’ weaknesses that people don’t really consider

Sees SCV: afternoon sir
Sees Probe: show me those hands! up against the wall now!!
STOP RESISTING
Occasionally loitering SCV: So.... care to explain?
P: ....uhhh...what? o.o
SCV: You building a pylon?
P: Me? Building a pylon?
SCV: Blocking my base?
P: Me? Blocking your base?
SCV: Harassing my SCVs?
P: Me? Harass your SCVs?

P: We? Why would we mess up your plans?
SCV: Wait.... why do you sound like there's 12 of you?
Thermy, almost 150 THOUSAND people follow your channel.
I live in freakin Hungary.
The whole world knows what The Penguin Brothers are. 😊😅😅
Same, and one of my coworkers watches too
From Sweden myself, TPB is awsome
The active player base for sc2 is around 80K, so his subs is nearly twice the active player base. (some sites say 150K, it probably fluctuates)
+1 HUN
Lol. Texas here. No penguins to be found unless they belong to Uthermal.
I love how happy it made UThermal that ally not only knew about the Penguin Brothers but also joined in.
Blizz should make a tournament in uThermal's name, a contest of the funkiest strategies and the award is a little statue of two penguins.
You can be sure another 70k people will know penguin brothers after this video
There used to be a bug where if an scv was building a gas geyser, and you cancelled it while the scv was in the middle, the scv could get stuck.
Some people did this deliberately on their opponent's gases, which prevented them from building gas.

5:58 when all the vikings and hellbats were transforming and getting ready to seige the enemy base was honestly a really sick moment lol
That's usually when the main theme starts playing ;)
haha, I never get tired of hearing the Penguin Brothers story, despite hearing it for over a year on the regular (or at least a description of it)
I absolutely died at the idea of someone thinking they're being clever with a proxy battlecruiser only to warp in and there's a dozen vikings
First time I've heard about Penguin Brothers, I was like "Da hell is Penguin Brothers? Is that some lore joke I'm missing?". Then you've explained the origins, and it made way more sense that it had any right to do. I fell in love with it
And now, many months later we're back with THIS banger. My cheek hurt from smiling at the first teammate :D
1:36 - My first time hearing of it so I'm glad of the storytime with thermy ^^
"I feel like you just have a way better chance of defending things." Queue Rainman calculations: 2.75 / 3 * 10 ... ((Processing)) ... "i don't know ... 9.15." (9.166667 actual)🤯22:32
22:15 penguin brother variations lmao too funny dude
I like how uThermal spoke and typed out his "YEah" in the exact same manner
7:08
That first match looked more one sided than a mobius strip!
That teammate in game 2 was a very high tier player
Heard a couple of wacky and fun build names elsewhere, such as the 'archon toilet' (mothership vortex +archon splash) but 'the penguin brothers is definitely up there :D
I'm currently going through the "Penguin to Grandmaster" playlist on youtube. How did you know I wanted more Penguin Brothers? I love them so much.
This has to be called the March of the penguins at this scale!
That Zealot pack death on 19:12 hurt my soul a little. Especially whey they tried to run away, at least let the dudes do some damage before their demise - they could have take one or two Vikings with them, maybe damage some more. But no they had to run around the army of units shedding them. Even committing to killing the workers would be better.
Hey Marc! :)
Indeed, no games are greater & or better if not the best once, when the random team mate.
Truly care & got the same common feeling. And goes with the flow together!
wonderful stuff Marc thanks for the matches! the 2nd match teamwork was sublime to watch. gggss
Just lit a up a cigar and I see that’s there’s a new uThermal 😃 happiness!
March of the Penguins 2: Onslaught
loved this episode! you got so enthusiastic when that first player confirmed he knew the penguin brothers. that was such a lovely moment! it sparked joy in me.
it's the penguin brothers, then the penguin brothers extended family when you add thors and marauders.
Penguin Cousins?
Penguin brothers is just good. I can't say I'm that surprised that high MMR players know it.
The allie reactions to Penguin Bros brought a huge smile to my face.
Suggestion: Perfect Game to Grandmaster. Variation - 10 Lives to Grandmaster - You lose when you lose 10 units.
I'm not at all surprised that active good gamers know the penguin brothers build, as my friends that quit playing SC2 years ago still watch uThermal every day and know the penguin bros. You brought many ex-gamers back to SC2.
22:54 Uthermal dropping the Spanish F word thinking we were not going to notice
I've never played a game of starcraft in my life, I've never even seen it running on a PC before. Everything I know about SC2, I know from watching uThermal. I've been watching about two years or so, and this is the only starcraft channel I've ever watched. What can I say? I think you're the starcraft guy lol. I love the penguin brothers build, but my favourite games are ghost nukes.
Finally the famed penguin brothers build
love you marc
Stand in that very long line here. :)
Loved it Marc! Great games with great teammates!
Hey, if there are several names for this strategy then let me pitch to You: "Penguin Brothers DeLuxe".
Two elements are added. 1: With first scout in face of enemy You leave emblem/medal "Second place" emote. I have seen You done it before. 2: Right before huge attacks type in all chat "Do You feel cold brother?".
And as bonus You can drop it on all strategies. For example "OG Penguin Brothers" and "OG Penguin Brothers DeLuxe".
many people knows what the penguin broters is, that is already legendary
Uthermal is going to be the sole reason I start playing Starcraft again
I love the penguin brothers. ⭐
Love your 2v2 content. I've been waiting for more since the vids with Kelazhur. Dream come true.
Christmas came early with this episode! 🐧🎄🐧
Great team play and builds popping off - it's like a warm hug on a cold winter day.
Now I want to see "The Antarctica" -- 4v4, with all teammates doing penguin brothers 😂
16:57 to 17:15 When uthermal transforms into a caster in the middle of the game 🤯
Gotta say the EU teammates were 100x better this time than many of the NA teammates from previous episodes
Edit: I wrote this early in and have since seen Marc talking about it. And to answer the question: I think Hunter variation is stun marauders and Vikings. Armor upgrades for marauders and attack upgrades for Vikings. Please correct me if I’m wrong or confirm I got it right.
I’d argue that there are 4 penguin brothers.
Hellbats and Vikings for sure. And thors but.. marauders too.
I would like Marc to open with marauders (which i know is terrible) or just rush the og bros.
But definitely have stun-marauders mixed in. Think, they get massive damage from Vikings and hellbats but you use marauders to target fire each enemy to stun them. Could also just focus the stun on whatever unit you think is most effective.
I’m ignorant as to all the mechanics of stun Grenada though. I don’t know if they work on mech type units or just bio.
Love your videos. I’ve dropped rank since watching you because I’m relearning the game the right way. Keep posting! Thank you.
Marc it's like your channel's influence has come full circle
For the next build you should purely play for economy. Then use that economy to fuel your teammates army.
there's precedent for being more suspicious of protoss, the probe can start a building and just leave it so their cheeses or just basic messing with you via buildinhs is less commitment of the worker compared to the other two races
I like how Marc keeps explaining the Penguin Brothers to us as if everyone doesn't know.
let us get a bongcloud next! love the content as always brother! when we getting uthermal merch? something like silly goose build orders or something
"Big Brain, Slow Hands" type of player
I've never felt so seen in my life 😆
You make me smile. Fun and great content. Thank you.
I would love to see a wikipedia article about the penguin brothers.
you have penguin brothers and artosis has mario brothers, although one group of brothers is slightly more wholesome
Love your haircut 😍
You always talk about cheesing with units but can you cheese with upgrades?
planetary fortress with building armor and turret range?
That last [dbl reactor] build is something i keep in my toolbox for zergs that always seem ready for me, but due to their hubris, never scout. PiG did a 2016 video - The PiG Daily #24 - on it called: "Fastest Marine Drop Ever TvZ" and highlighted BeastyQT and Gumi doing it, breaking it down.

Fricking love the penguin brothers. Great games!
"Penguin brothers" is a better name than helion viking armory opening
You are a super star for sure, to answer your question. You ARE the penguin! The father penguin.
Barcode was the red terran who did BCs you squashed in the first game with the Penguin Bros, so it's no wonder that he was more than happy to join in and be on the winning side of it the during the second game 😏
2v2 content is fire
absolute banger, happy to see marc happy
The Build aside, your commentary is Epic!! I really enjoy your channel.
I dunno which one is more impressive... the SC2 skills, or the on-point mental math at 22:59. 9.15 out of 10 is within 0.2% of exact. "Or something like that", indeed.
holy smokes that first game was nasty!
I would love to see some energy recharge teamwork. Energy recharge your teammates vipers or medivacs, that kind of thing. Also if you steal someones probe as zerg, can you make a nexus and recharge your own vipers?
3v3 Pots n Pans to GM collab with Harstem and goblin would be great
Not every build is so monochromatically named, we still have the Destiny Cloud Fist build!
The famous 2v2 penguin brothers brothers build
Man, good story... The penguin brothers hahaha. What do you think about the Gunslinger Crabs rush? xD
Keep going, no seriously I’m addicted
Love the vids!!❤❤❤
I tried looking up 'penguin hellbat', and got that batman armor suit thing.
Your silly goosery is the entire reason i watch you lol
Just when I thought life couldn't get any better..... We get random 2v2 .... AND some penguins.....!!!!!!
I've seen a study on why people on the internet are generally a lot more toxic than in real life, because the anonymity frees you from just about all responsibility, and so there's no point being polite.
Assuming that study isn't bogus, barcodes get double the anonymity, and so they pack double the toxicity.
you will always reap-er what you sow
Even though I play Zerg my portrait/avatar of choice is the Viking!
Penguin bros are on the "safer" cheeses. Not a cheese, but a ligitimate strategy.
BTW. In 2v2 your allies hate you if they need to babysit you. And they love when you go into aggressive harassment 2:00-7:00 minutes in the game.
Your economy is non existent. But your ally has 200 vs 80+80. He feels good.
do a "penguin brothers to GM" series.with an account named penguin lover.
best thing with Uthermal: Every games is about fun !
most of sc2 player take it too seriously
Need some help new to StarCraft Terran when your building and they kill your suv how can you continue the same building without starting over
"If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid."
thats with the APM is sick
This made me happy indeed.
I played with one and asked him for let's do Pinguin build
He: Are you uthermal 😂
is it possible to make markings on the youtube videos, where one new game starts?
Terran is the master race. If you are the pro, it will make your winning rate 100% no matter what. It has everything from the starting phase, middle phase, to the end game. It has everything in mining (free 0 miners), flyable structures (and repairable), anywhere scan and stationary scan, teleportable air units with yamato lasers that can annihilate and annoy, strongest missile turrets, complete versatile lock-on/free range ground to air units (and also ground), complete versatile lock-on/free range air to ground units, ground and air siegeable units with very high damage outputs, healers+transporters+with thruster jet packs, hidden ground units that can do everything from sniping, nuking, disabling (ghosts), hidden air units that can scout and do everything (banshee), and all things. Repairable units for mechanics and healable units for bio. And ALL GROUND units are RANGED so you can bait and kite. Anyone who loses using Terran is losers.
If you wrote this, bravo on the future copypasta
do more immortal archon flank drops Marc! that strat was devastating!
You found your penguin brother on the ladder! 😁
Petition to rename the first game's build as The Penguin Brotherhood
how do they waddle if they do not?
its the penguin brothers brothers!
the most intertaining game way to go :) happy happy thx ;)
i need uthermal to make a tutorial on how to macro/micro faster😭🙏
Hey Marc hear me out. Since you're doing some fun 2v2 games would it be possible to do a Terran protoss team and do a ghost oracle timing with the new energy recharge utilize the stasis and time a Nuke on the army when it ends? Just curious it would be cool to pull it off. You might have to get the timing down though😅
