    Since I always forget, this was roughly Attempt #30! I wasn't able to get a good run in my first batch of attempts so I took a long break from it but after I figured out the best strategy it took me 6 more attempts to get this run :)

    According to his channel there are five "insane" challenges left to do. 1 Zerg v 7 Zerg, 1 Zerg v 7 Terran, then the three Protoss challenges. All of these should be extremely entertaining for us but might give uThermal an aneurysm just thinking about them. Still, he has been getting better and better at these challenges since his Terran v Protoss challenge only took him 19 attempts IIRC.

    these types of challenges have historically been 'my thing.' i did a lot of ladder for the first 2 or 3 years of sc2 then switched almost entirely to playing against ai since then. main reason being that i was too busy with work/family that i couldn't play as well as i wanted to against other people. i found the perfect alternative was to challenge myself any way i could against ai matchups and it allowed me to play the game stress free with the ability to pause the game most of the time if needed. i didn't realize that certain things were deemed 'impossible' by people in this subgenre of the game. i know in the last 10 years i've beat a LOT of matchups similar to the one in this video. this is almost exactly how i play my zerg vs ai. the only thing i would do differently is utilize viper abducts much more. maybe even cut 3 or so broods to build more vipers. i always feel like 50% of my apm is devoted to abducting voids/disruptors/colossai/sentries lmao. always struggled more against terran ai when playing zerg so gonna have see if you've uploaded that one yet! keep up the great vids marc :)

    Incredible! Now me and a friend are going to try and do a 2 vs 6 Hard ai on the same map. One question, though, why didn't any of them attack you until 8:40 (game time)? They were all on "Any Build", so was it just luck that none of them rushed/harassed you, or was was something about your build discouraging them from attacking earlier? I mean, you had virtually nothing to defend until about 6 minutes in, so why weren't the cheaters with their map hacking skillz swarming you with early game units? Could it be because you tech up to Hive very quickly so they read you as a high tech opponent?

    You know, for this particular map and if what your saying is true about how the AI helps their neighbours, then perhaps make roughly 4x swarm hosts and park 2 on each side of your base attacking your neighbours base, then a million AI units might not turn up to your front door, as some the units would be braking off to go help their neighbours army/base instead of yours.
    Just a thought.
