Mr. Marc, my dad referred me to your channel as I was bored of watching the same strategies on channels covering starcraft 2 pro. I ended up discovering a lot of fun and innovative strategies that work, there were many nights watching your videos with him in our living room, today unfortunately he left for another plane of existence after fighting cancer for 3 years. He really loved starcraft 2 even though he started in broodwar in 1998 he never made it to GM even after 20+ years of playing lol. He would always tell me "I'm not a noob, I'm just stupid". Thank you for the great memories I will have of the last few days with my father watching your videos, even when he lacked the strength to click the mouse and play he kept watching Starcraft 2 and your matches were his favorites, thank you very much Mr. Marc.
flo is probably an undiscovered treasure for the pro players. I'm still laughing at some of his games. Like, vs mass raven + mass turrets he went for mass DT's then the ravens had to run from the archons while the DT's sliced down both kinds of turrets
On the slow warp in distance, the color of the pylon aura changes when it's connected to the warp network. You can use that to see if your warps will be fast even when the nexus is still building.
I have a new cheese for you! Build the proxy nexus, attack normally, recall some of your attacking units to the proxy (make sure they see the recall) and bait them into chasing the remaining units so that they leave their base undefended. :) It might also be possible to complete their high ground wall with a pylon so that the probes cant escape. Perhaps it is funny to make 3 gateways in their base in stead of the nexus.
Marc is such a very good player that even when he is 400 minerals behind for the wasted nexus, behind in development and supply count, he can crawl back and defeat his opponent with his micro.
@@phillgizmo8934 I loved that series. I don't think he was able to make GM, though. It was one of the few that he gave up on as each race has techniques that can cancel it out. Would be psyched to see uThermal try it :)
In instances where the Nexus is found after the initial recall, would it be a good idea to use the remaining energy on chronoboosts before it is destroyed?
@@damnplaylist I wonder if one could float a bunch of orbitals out of sight then land them one by one only to drop mules as a hidden economy. I mean, if they are on +2 bases they don't have to attack?
Dude you are one of the last true "gosu" players. You have reached the mastery where you literally create art with every strategy. You remind of NC...yellow from back in the day.
Mark, as someone who is lactose intolerant I'd like to ask you to cheese your cheese please! Proxi nexus on best placed base, opponents Natural or 3rd in this case perhaps, so eco cheese with defensive/offensive cannons to suit your flavor.
at 9min if he has +2 melee, it means he's probably goin bane/ling and/or muta ling bane. i haven't seen yet so let's see if my reading sucks or is accurate.
@@Blandge Overseers have an ability called Contaminate which disables production/research structures for 21 seconds, so they can't make units or work on research/upgrades.
The center of the recall reticle corresponds to the center of the nexus. For example if all your units are on the left half they all get teleported to the left side.
It would have been great if in game 2 if you had a forge. There was a perfect opportunity to make cannons in the time it took for the Nexus to be discovered.
Cannons are very expensive if combined with nexus, also expensive, don’t know if you can afford adepts, forge, cannons, pylons, and nexus all at once. Battery would be the ultimate move because the nexus gives super battery but hard to get batteries out (worked in game 3 but not in game 2).
one time u opened it with a proxy nexus and a shield battery and I loved this opening so much because I think it really brings out the most of the nexus with the battery overcharge. maybe this works better against zerg?
I know it can be a bit slow to come online, but I'd really like to see you try a certain PvT strategy. You go for a Stargate build, getting 2 oracles and then sending them across together. Behind it, you go for a full wall-off and start building Void Rays en masse. The job of the Void Rays is to contain the Zerg as much as possible - typically their response will be to overproduce Queens and push out. But you are waiting for that. Behind what looks like just mass Void Rays, you have built a Warp Prism and 2 Disruptors. You blast the Queens with the Disruptors and then take the Void Ray vs Queen fight, shattering the Queen count. You then overrun whatever air defense zerg has left and rampage through their drones. Zerg has very limited replies to mass Void Rays. So you can walk them right into this.
If you're worried about getting your gas stolen, u can click a worker onto the gas like it's going to mine (even if there's no structure on the gas) and then hold position your worker and that will stop your opponent from being able to steal your gas. Not sure if doing that would have messed up the build uThermal was doing there in the game he brought up being scared his gas was stolen and I'm 99% sure he knows that, but that's a small tip for fellow lower league SC2 players :)
you could also just place down a pylon right beside it so you dont have to waste a drone.. just dont forget to cancel it xD I learned that building a barracks too close one time had to fly it over lol
@uThermal Love what you do, but i would love even more if i could see the part behind your face. Maybe put the camera just under the 1st contrôle grp ? There is a black spote that is useless there.
Watching your first game, I was wondering if it would be possible to steal both of the zergs games and then tailor your build to dominate the build they have to go to without gases.
his replay analysis is terrible :P he guessed how many lings he had in stead of just looking. Was there a spire or was it going to be a massive +3 baneling detonation?
@@daydreamers8254 It's a replay, you can just look if the spire is building. No need to guess :P The guessing reflex is for ingame not for the replay. :P

I am sorry my man. I have the same memories with my dad just not with StarCraft content. RIP
Thoughts and prayers for you.
Rest in peace!
I am sorry, RIP.
I also fell extremely ill, and started playing SC2 and watching these videos, but now I am recovering.
When Marc unleashed 0.003% of his true strength
He went up at least 4.2069%
you know what perfect timing is? getting the delivery food for lunch and a new video of uthermal xD great combo
that is +150 MMR right there!
That's what a good build order does
I find myself strangely jealous :P
Other sc2 proplayers-u2bers, when get to serious game situation start talk much less, because they're too busy.
Uthermal just speeds up talking)
Gotta get that Florencio double stack probe trick.
Yes

uThermal goes "mmmmm" and finds incredible strats in 1 second, it's hilarious to watch man is legit smart asf
13:59 "now thats probably somewhat more than a proxy pylon" x)
That force field deployment was super satisfying to watch
I'm in Silver and when I try to make a Nexus in their base, they always scout it!! I cant believe that a Grandmaster doesnt scout it!
Time to get into the 2v2/4v4 scene! with a Duo or not! Roach-Marine controlling two peoples armies would be sick content.

I eat breakfast every day while watching uThermal. Slowly getting the courage to redownload SC2 after 9+ years.
man they were ALL good, but I LOVED the final game, boy was he surprised...and had NO answer. Awesome stuff Marc
If you want to improve forcefield micro, try a mass-sentry to GM series!
Super not viable, they just don't do any damage.
@@spider0804 Beastyqt can prove you are very wrong about that. He reached GM with that, that is a fact.

Good tip. I wonder if Protoss players do them regularly. I suppose the same can be said to orbitals before flying off or getting destroyed
Yes. It's a good idea.

"Refined our cheese against protoss" LOL
You can posture your adept at the front, bait them out, and THEN recall in?
I tried your strategy and now I'm a billionaire space cowboy science major. 10/10 would recommend!
mother of god 0_o, someone arrest this man! someone stop him! :D
Proxy nexus is such a great series... I'm liking it even more than Planetary Fortress Rush.

You inspired me to start a youtube channel! Love your stuff!
You could build the pylon closer to the proxy Nexus for fast warp in.
Damn, do I love watching your videos!
The preview is good 👍😀
that thumbnail is a thing of nightmares.
Build cannons around your proxy nexus, then warp the addeps in when they have defenses to keep them alive xP
