Since then, maybe changes have made the build weaker overall. I feel like if it has a chance, uThermal would be the one to make the magic happen.

    Challange idea: use the strat of your oponent from the previous game against your current oponent for as long as your last oponent was alive or game length. Ie, if your previous oponent lost at 7 minutes (or you lost at 7minutes), you are then free to change strategies in your current game after 7 minutes
    Since you can have P, Z or T oponents, you use the last races strat until you get a new oponent from that race to swap strats

      I love this idea because he always sees weird psycho moves being made, but it also has an interesting dynamic because he's encouraged to let his opponent live longer so he has more time next match, but also the longer the match goes the more weird counters he has to do against an opponent who is going to be thinking "why is he making anti-air against my 100% ground army??"

    Hello uThermal. Big fan here.
    Here is some very hard challenge I would looove to see:
    - mass sentries to GM
    - any challenge involving disruptors drop
    - nuked to death: defend with what you want, but attack only with ghosts and medivacs (and nukes!!) (eventually you are allowed to finish the opponent when he is clearly dead)
    - and finally, I dream about drops with like 2 sentries and 2 templars in a prism: force field the mineral line and storm all workers....
    Please keep up the amazing content!!

    Thrilling first game, and extremely satisfying second game. Counter-recall-canon-rush is my favorite absurd strategy. You laid siege to his base like how an attacking army would get a small force into the enemy's castle, taking the keep from them while the enemy still held the rest of it and cutting them off from their vital stuff. Also, that dance early on against the photon cannon on the low ground was amazing, you got so close to death and basically used the health of units and buildings like the resource it was to pull that off.

    X to grandmaster:
    Turtle Time: (no rush challenge);Set a time limit for Uthermal to build up their armies and bases before they are allowed to engage in battle. This challenge tests a player's ability to balance offense and defense while not going out to attack. However this does mean you can slowly expand static defence to turtle with your army.
    Battle TIME: A random timer with a nice jingle goes off. Anytime that timer goes off, you must attack with all units. you can still make units... during the randomized timed event, you can only engage while in offensive means. Once the Battle TIME has stopped. you can defend and macro anyway you want, but cannot go out aggressively. Until the next battle timer goes off. The timer would be pretty easy to set up from a myriad of freetimer apps, but basically you start a game, you start a timer, and it will randomly go off within the 2-5 minutes of teh start of the game. Battle Time is about, 30 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds long. Then there is randomized time where you cannot battle for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, where onyl macoring is available. ANother example is. Start game, Start timer (automated), 2:30 passes, Buzzard (Klaxxon), Battletime (music interjection if you want) 30 seconds, (Alarm) sound, No Battle allowed, peaceful ambience 1 minute, Battle time 2 minutes, etc. SO basically when in battle mode you cna still manage nad macro but all units made must seek conflict against hte opponent, which can be defending your base and moving around, but importantly that tehy are engaged.
    SPecial Ability: Only units with special abilties can be used that are considered.
    Dropper Lords only: Carry me home mountain Momma.
    TO FLy or nto to Fly Only: Only flying units can be built. the early game allows 300 minerals/vespene to any unit defence.
    Clockwork Orange: Can only expand and build in a clock wise fashion, regardless of what minerals are near by or close to you. (excluding natural). Forces you to eventaulyl conflict against your opponent sooner for expanding purposes. You cna defend nodes taht would be traditionally yours, just... the premise is you must expand in a clockwise fashion. That would be North - East - South - West on a square map.
    Deliverance: 1-2 Barracks 3 factory - 4 factory. Basically you key main unit is Siege tanks. Simply just rushing in, in a massive group... quit fast and early... mainres in light nubmers accompany the tanks for mild air support and friendship. tanks need friends.
    Immortalized - Immortals to Grandmaster. Light supportive units for air, by mostly immortal pure army, composition.
    Neural Parasite to Grandmaster: Exactly what it seems. Early Neural parasite..
    Neural Parasite to Grandmaster 2: Take over an enemy Probe.. and build a nexus in a mineral line (any race can deposit crystals) then you build support or attacking unit combination of protoss and zerg. Queens and immortals are slightly broken... since they can heal Immortals... fairly well... or any HP of any units. Typically in a neuro parasite of this sort, your 4rth base would be a nexus... its much harder in sc2 to accomplish such feats. The did break cannon to to make supply a 200 cap, rather than the logic, of capcity of an area. IE Overlord was mental extension of the overmind ot tend and communicate witht hte overmind to herd the zerg flock and minds, thus a capacity is limited. Protss needs psionic energies to warp in or transduce new things to exist. Humans need houses... So technically in the original st1 the cap was 600, if you could mind control all the races. Which made zerg super powerful. Ithink there was a mind control of protoss which was broken asf. Meh..
    Zerg Challenge: The floor is lava. Can only expand, attack based on where creep exists. The onyl exclusion is overlords can go out to expand creep, tumours, and Nydus wurms... but no military unit can be off of creep for an extended period of time, of course during a battle itsa diferent story but in teh conclusion of it, one must change the outlook, SO being verse a zerg can/ could be helpful, rather than other species.
    Two Base mining only as Terran only, can only expand once the minerals are just about depleted. Alternatives to this is, MULE party... can only have 24 scvs, after that only mules are allowed. Forcing you to have orbitals to grandmaster, thus mastery of economic returns.. MUahahahaha.
    Floating Money: You must float 100 minerals on average at one minute. You must float on average 1000 minerals at ten minutes. Handicap... in a sense..
    Nydus Mayhem. Zerg can only attack from a nydus and only 1.25 Screen of a nydus can they attack. Defense of your structures do not have any limitation in your mineral patches etc.
    Your composition: Must always consist of ten supply (roughly Battlecruiser would be 2) of each unit type before attacking your opponent in an engagement, If you fail in your attack, or retreat, you must rebuild your composition. If your attack is successful you can resupply it and keep pushing forward with whatever comes out. This forced composition is a bit of turting.
    PHotons and TEmpests to Grandmaster. (Balanced)
    Psionic storms and Archons to Grandmaster. (gas intensive)
    Banneling Burrowed bombs and Hydralisks/lurkers to grandmaster.
    Covert OPS: Every time you play, you can have an army, as a defensive equalizer and defense, but you are only allowed attacking your opponents structures with secret armies and spies, so drops if terran, or nukes and ghosts, to lurker drops or nydus spies, Dark templar, Zealot run by would be allowed. Basically any form of secrecy is allowed. Protoss can use the mother ship.. and recall also... Basically jsut a lot of fun, messing with your opponent without/ avoiding a directly army conflict. Teaching ways to sub navigate the static lines and patrols of the enemy to hit hard and devastate portions of the opponents infrastructure.
    MULE-tilation of MINERALS to rob and steal and take from systems. Much like Orbital challenge this one is all about being an Economic annoyance.. So by all and any means you take minerals from your opponent. If they have an undefended open base, you fly a cc and start long distant mining it with scvs or mules.. Any unit can be made.. medivacs can be used to move scvs to safety and keep them healed in their extranious hazardous service to the uthermal empire. The strat is to aggresive and constantly kill, or take wit hscvs form what your opponent is mining. While your army may be smaller in task the use of ghosts and other units keeping pressure and unit vlaue ahead, cna liit hte neemies retatliation and attack. IE sniping off units for free exchanges, etc.
    not all of these are great, but random ideas. Grandmaster challenges nto just challenges.. many of them have been made. Nederlands has a suggestion that is pretty good and i htink you mentioned somethign like that during your thoguhts on beofre you did your randomized one.

  • @adcyuumi
    @adcyuumi Рік тому

    I have an idea for you to try, for Zerg.
    Go for the Roach build that is basically a 2 base all-in that uses Ravagers to break the wall and walk in a ton of Zerglings/Roaches, but skimp on resources rather than investing everything trying to make it work - it is a feint to make it look like you are going for this build and then messing up the all-in, when you have actually been greedy and gotten a Spire. Right behind the failed Roach "all-in" comes mass Mutas. Your army is split between a fast moving ball of air units (Corruptors instead of Mutas once your Mutas get countered) and a durable mass of Roaches. You go for Brood Lords ASAP after that, if you can't end the game earlier - the reason is that your Corruptor ball becomes a major liability if you don't - you need them to be able to help you in a ground fight.
    Some extra Spine Crawlers for defense can be a big deal with this. Roaches are only so strong, and until you have access to Brood Lords your ability to repel a big ground push is limited. Infestors can be a good tech unit to help a small Roach or Corruptor/Muta ball fight off a superior force. As your late game weapon to close out the game is Brood Lords, you prioritize research on Melee Attacks and Ground Carapace upgrades. This has the added benefit of making your Zerglings quite strong while you wait for Brood Lord tech, to help your more durable Roaches hold things on the ground. Your Zergling harass is strong. Roaches with no Ranged Attack upgrades aren't very good... but they ARE good against things that are good vs mass Zerglings, good enough anyway.
    Is it good enough as a strategy that you can get it to GM? I honestly cannot say. Zerg's ability to just plow forward with a relatively static army is limited - more than other races, Zerg has to adapt. (It's kind of their whole vibe.) But strong early Zerglings is always good, I've seen the early Ravager bust look good against every race, and a mix of Mutas with Corruptors always seems to hold the game long enough for Brood Lords to start doing their thing. You can adjust on the fly, too. If you see early greed, you ramp the Zergling/Roach count and the Ravager bust is real. If you see that the Mutalisk ball is working, maybe you ramp that assault to close the game rather than transition into Roach + Corruptor.
    But I never see the Ravager bust anymore, and I never see mass Mutas into Broodlords anymore. So combining them into a single game-plan seems ideal for me to suggest. I think it COULD work, if piloted by the right player. And I think you might be that player.

    Ask ChatGPT for some strategies! Here is what I got from it: Terran: Ghost Nuke Rush
    Open with a standard 1-1-1 build (Barracks, Factory, Starport).
    Tech up to a Ghost Academy and produce Ghosts.
    Research Cloak for Ghosts and Personal Cloaking.
    Build multiple Nuclear Silos and arm your Ghosts with Nukes.
    Use Cloaked Ghosts to infiltrate your opponent's base and launch Nukes on their economy and production facilities.
    Support your Ghosts with a standard bio or mech army.
    Protoss: Proxy Tempest Rush
    Start with a Gateway expand.
    Proxy a Stargate and a Fleet Beacon near your opponent's base.
    Research the Graviton Catapult upgrade.
    Chrono Boost out Tempests and use them to harass your opponent's mineral lines and production facilities.
    Transition into a more standard Protoss composition (e.g., Immortals, Archons, and Zealots) to support your Tempests.
    Zerg: Infestor Hit Squad
    Open with a standard Hatchery-first build.
    Tech up to a Lair and then Infestation Pit.
    Research Pathogen Glands for Infestors.
    Produce a group of Infestors and use their abilities to harass your opponent.
    Use Neural Parasite on high-value enemy units and Fungal Growth on clumped units.
    Infested Terrans can be used for additional harassment and pressure.
    Support your Infestors with a standard Zerg army (e.g., Roaches, Ravagers, and Hydralisks).

    I would suggest: Random Units to GM, you give every Unit a number from 1 to x (depends on how many Units the choosen Race has) and you have to roll your Units every Game or Episode.
    Workers, Queens and Mules are exempt, if you are playing it as Terran, you could count medivac´s as one of your Numbered Units so, until you reach a certain point, where you say its unplayable without.
    You can Cheese, Proxy as you like or Macro it out. Hope it´s something you would like to play.

    Okay sorry for the second comment but I had a funny idea. I remember back in the old SC1 days there would be these custom games people would play that would say NR10/15/20. (No rush. So no aggressive actions, not even probe harass. Scouting is okay of course). Since your iconic style of play is very aggressive with multiple-front attacks, throwing the enemy's attention all over the place, it would be interesting to see how you would adapt to not being able to play an entirely different style / not being able to punish your opponent's greed. You could even call it uTurtle.

    Burrowing to GM! Zerg challenge, use units that excel at attacking while burrowed: banelings, lurkers, swarm hosts. Hydralisks and queens permitted for anti-air (and of course you're allowed air units if a terran opponent tries to fly their buildings into the corner) and zerglings allowed for early-game defending (and burrowing to prevent enemy bases, obviously). If the game timer goes past 15 minutes, you need to make a nydus network for the ultimate in subterranean aggression.

    I'd like to see a challenge (not a series probably) where your main battle plan is to disrupt their supply. Kill as many depots, pylons, overlords and bases as possible. Build an overwhelming army while you have a supply hit squad. Call it Blockade.

    Challenge idea: You shall not pass (gas)
    Race: Streamers choice/Random
    Main strategy: Deny their gas, either by stealing, destroying or bodyblocking their geysers, or killing the harvesters continuously so their gas count remains low.
    Additional rule that could be added:
    Surrender when they succesfully produced a certain amount of high gas high tech units or upgrades (Brood lord/ultra, BattleCruiser/Thor, Colossi/Carrier)
    Most worker-killing strategies kill the workers in the mineral lines because they're more accessible and provide the quickest and easiest value, so the challenge is to see if you can deny their mid and late game teching by denying the resource required for it. They can make all the lings and marines and zealots they want, but they'll have to fight for the roaches, reapers, adepts, stalkers and beyond.

    New series suggestion:
    BIG BOIS to gm
    (Flip a coin each episode, Terran or Protoss)
    Basically, after 1 reaper/adept and 10 marines/stalkers, you can only make the big bois (massive) units.
    Bc’s, thors, cyclones, tanks,
    Archons, tempest, carriers, colossus, mothership
    (Because thors and bcs are so easily crumpled by immortals and void rays cyclones and tanks may be used)
    You can cheese, or go into macro, let the big bois dominate the ladder

    *X to GrandMaster*
    DropperLord + Burrowed Infestor/Baneling builds! Burrowed Infestors fungal, then unburrow banes on top; drop infestors and banes from the SAME dropperlord, so they don't know whether to rush-in and attack infestor, or rush AWAY from banes....

  • @billcynic1815
    @billcynic1815 Рік тому

    3-3 rush to GM.
    Rules: choose a race. After X minutes, you cannot build anything until you start 1-1. Once a set of upgrades finishes, you cannot build anything until you start the next set of upgrades. Further, after X minutes, you cannot build any units unless you have upgrades for that unit currently researching, or the building for that research currently constructing. For example, for Terran, after X minutes you cannot make banshees unless you are making an armory, and after the armory finishes you cannot make any more banshees until you start 1-1 for air.

    Challenge:
    only long distance mining allowed. You start off with your workers and send them mining from a different base. This will be done for all secondary bases. Anyone base cannot be mined from its closest mineral/gas patches. Mineable bases must be put only in their correct places (closest to their mineral patches).

    Marine, marauder, medivac with the option to only have either only 1 raven or 1 active raven( can be replaced upon death). Without the raven is also fine, but the idea of spamming basic units apart from the mass marine strat adds a bit more nuance to it which can give people lower on the ladder how to optimise a basic strat like that.
