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 :)
Marc first off congrats, seriously impressive man!
Im curious, what other games do you enjoy playing?
Pin this!
Wow

This challenge was basically the reverse of that Wings of Liberty mission where you try to survive as Protoss against infinite Zerg until they overrun you.
Rofl 😂😂😂😂
Makes me wonder how long he could survive in that mission given his skills.
@@Jhaiisiin Wings of liberty play thu... Yes please!
That mission was stupid. Specially because we dont gain anything for surviving long. I didn't read the objective, was playing on normal so i played the mission for over an hour
@@SilverHand-fu1jn so was it the fault of the designer to depict the lore by gameplay, or was it because you didn't read the objective?
All the time you think it is impossible. Then uThermal takes it serious, and changed the mind of the entire world.
This Zerg wall is legendary and hopefully will find a place in bronze silver or gold games.
Turtle Zerg to Grandmaster incomming XD
GG WP
THIS! TURTLE ZERG SERIES!!! MUST HAVE
++ Turtle Zerg to GM
Yeah. I am not a massive fan of zerg series but i would love to see walls of spores and viper, queen, lurker brood lord nastiness. There is a famous AoE3 player called Wall. Maybe name the series after him. WALL

"Ah yes, I remember the time that uThermal was a Terran main, before he switched to Zerg, unretired as pro player and won 3 consecutive world championships in a row"
-People in 2027
While cheesing ^
Holy crap, that's incredible. This challenge looked impossible and I'll be honest, it was over 20 minutes into this video that I STILL thought it looked impossible. Your creativity and tenacity shine yet again. Well played!!
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.
Don't forget Zerg and Toss vs mixed/random.
Most exciting moment was when Marc showed his ventriloquism skill at the begging, drinking water and speaking simultaneously
Marc truly has cemented himself as one of the greatest SC2 players of all time. The game has been out for almost 13 years with everyone, and i mean everyone, thinking these challenges were impossible...until Mr uThermal came along.
LEGENDARY.
Cheater ai didn't exist 13 years ago bubba.
But yeah Thermy is fkin goated, I remember watching his pro scene games and hating in him cause he was terran now he's my favorite SC YTer lol
@@stevenhetzel6483 Well.. there have obviously been some changes to the AI over time, but as far as I know the "cheater AIs" in general have always existed, they just didn't always have the same name. I'm pretty sure the hardest difficulty has always gained more resources than you're supposed to per trip.
@@stevenhetzel6483 r/whoosh
@@asdfqwerty9241 The original AI in Wings of Liberty was much much weaker
Those disruptors were killing so much of the protoss army trying to kill the broodlings. The friendly fire was real.
SC2 is my favorite tower defense game
Bro I don't mean to accuse, but I think your opponents were cheating. Do report.
😂
@PeterCormack-ms5dltrue😂
@PeterCormack-ms5dllol you're very smart Sherlock.
@PeterCormack-ms5dlr/whooosh
I agree, it might be map hack
I would watch a whole series on this type of game 1 v 7 for all 9 match up. You've got ZvP in the bag!
12 because there's random
I'm glad you were able to have fun with the challenge as Zerg. I'll try to record some commentary for my runs and post them too. Still have not been able to get Zerg vs 7 Terran Insane AI completed, I do think that one might be impossible.
I am pretty sure somebody said something before me , but you should make a playlist of these give it to who ever runs blizzard now and demand your achievements be put in the game , be sure that it will help with interest in SC2 for the casual player and everyone also to have something new to do in the game , most likely one guy in blizzard can do this in about 10 minutes to 1 hour easy :) UPVOTE this please , we need uThermal to extend that lance :)
29:00 reminded me of man in black all hail j, all hail j, probes be like all hail uthermal, all hail uthermal, ooo uthermal cant you see
Damn man, so impressive! I appreciate how much time all the attempts must have taken you in order to give us this one 30-minute video... cheers to you for your work in expanding human horizons!
What a wild solution to this challenge, major congrats on the WR!
Fun fact, there was actually an Insane Terran in this stream too. Called Marc.
wrong video, the ais were toss
Maybe bot who repeats comments with that name / comment
@@Anzuo not bot, just sleep deprived
@@atrtsh just what a BOT would want me to think! ... Just kidding, get some rest
@@Anzuo zZzZzZ . o O ( beep boop )
That mass of probes at the end was absolutely hilarious! 😂
28:55 Never in my life have I wanted to see a ghost with a nuke more than this.
I played this game as a child and i have never been good at it (including SC2) - i am only stepping forward to mention that i take my hats off to uThermal for this INCREDIBLE PLAY. Excellent.
Wow... That was really impressive!
Haven't seen SC in ages but this was an amazing and fun video to watch. Nicely done!
Holy fuck wtf you really did that bro?! How goddamn insane are you 🤣 Much love, amazing feat you did there! Respect!!
Congrats on the WR!
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 :)
I'm loving this content; thanks for rekindling my interest in SC2. I'm still working through your channel, so maybe you've done a 1v7 human challenge. But if you haven't, I'd love to see you play 1v7 novice/low ranked players. I think that would be really fun.
Thanks for making entertaining content with a positive attitude. GL HF GG
Can't believe I guessed the unit that gave you trouble, makes me feel like I still have a solid grasp of SC2 units even after quitting so long ago
Who would win?
--An endless horde of spiky aliens charging into close combat OR
--The Zerg
Well done! If I don't remember incorrectly, I think Vibe did this on his Twitch stream, but not Zerg against random, only Zerg against Protoss, like uThermal did. Vibe did it on the Rooftop Terrace map, I think, so that might be a map to check out
Man, I really thought you were going to get broken all the way up until you started moving out. That was an amazing game!
I really want to see a tournament style version of this, where all players start at the same time with a faction of their choosing agains all random.
The ranking would be: fastest time to win, then number of enemy AIs defeated and then, for those who beat the same number of AIs, time survived.
I think that could make for one hell of a fun competition. :D
Something cool would be... Something with rounds. Round 1 you get 1,000 mins and 750 gas. Both people make armies like on the unit tester map, then face off on a small map. Rounds would last 3-5 minutes. They both start at a corner, it would have a capture the flag element with the 2 starting corners, the 2 vacant corners, plus the middle which would count for slightly more. Then in round 2, you would get 2500 mins and 2000 gas or something but depending on how many flags you had captured for how long would be bonus money towards the next round. You could end up ahead or behind, but if you micro good and make a good army you could comeback. Maybe it would be 3-5 rounds, Maybe all the bonuses only go to the final round.
Ah, finally we’re here.
I’ve been looking forward to this.
Have you done a speedrun through Starcraft and Broodwar's campaign? If not, would you consider doing one with live commentary? I'd be fascinated to watch that series.
Wait why did it take 8:40 for any Protoss to attack? Don't they usually rush with zealots early on?
That's what I was wondering to. He set them all to any build so maybe something about the map prevents AIs from using early zealot aggression.
how did the AI let you go to 8 min 40 sec (9:35 video time) without a single attack?
Kinda surprised they didn't attack you for SO long in this. Nevertheless, insanely impressive. Well done!
they don't attack until they believe they can overwhelm. i guess his defenses looked imposing
I think the benefit to leaving the smallest amount of minerals in the last patch to force the enemies to pull their workers isn't 'there are less units' so much as at the cost of 5 minerals you are buying the knowledge to know that the ai is mined out
The disruptor shots came from behind the grassy knoll
Im in love with those kind of challenges .
Hope you're enjoying your morning comment reading session! Thanks for the video!
I didn't think it was possible! Amazing job!
I’d love to see 1v7 insane random race
The wall off reminds me of the BroodWars, there you could chocke the base entry with supply depos and withstand 7 pc players easy.
You should try zerg vs 7 terrans. Their siege tanks and scans make things difficult.
Hope for a challenge accepted!
When I play against the ai Ghosts were always a pain as Zerg they seem to counter and snipe everything.
@@rjmaxx1258 they do. Including zerg detection.
Could you go heavy broodlord maybe and use broodlings to cancel the snipes?
I feel like you need a map that also has more bases. Ik it might have a neighbor and be super hard that way but I don’t understand how you can make enough otherwise
I see you found a way to play Towerdefense in sc2, will for sure try! Nice video bro!
when the zerg experiences getting zerged
Bravo .. Thank you I really enjoyed ... Big Love
I think after all these Insane AI challenges, Blizzard should have a difficulty for the AI named uThermal.
This is excellent. One suggestion. The AI will avoid the location of a ravager bile attack. Like they’re going to not want to go in a liberator siege zone.
I was waiting for you to do the other races!
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?
How many attempts?
1
Yeah it was not clear for me either
He said 30
The answer is now in the pinned comment, indeed this was "Attempt #30".
Zerg: exists
Protoss: LET'S REVENGE. ZERG RUSH HIM!
Most entertaining and interesting game ive seen in a very long time i mean years
One hatchery against the landing forces of the Golden Armada? Finally an even fight.
Insane brother, gz
Now THAT is a stubborn infestation.
Uthermal said hold my beer 🍺 well done 👍
This would so work if the enemy had but 1 human player, he would just move arround with air or destory everything in a row rather than weird AI walking arround.
You always have the craziest videos. I love it!!
Really wanna see a protos challenge like this
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.
Congrats!!
When?
Alternate strats always SOUND good, like making more queens, but this always seems to end up in a VERY carefully executed balancing act. He made exactly what he had to to hold the front, and couldn't do anything else until that first wave died. And then he almost lost by doing exactly what you said lol
You've done it again. Insane!
Congratulations Marc!
I didn’t think this challenge was possible with zerg. Amazing game.
What the fuck how have I been alive since 1994 and playing StarCraft basically since it's release date and only now have I found out that an archon walking into a forcefield cancels it 😮
All massives will, so thors and ultras also
@@atrtsh well thank you you learn something new every day.. I guess you could say... How Tell them your a dirty cheeser without telling them... Cheese is love cheese is life
The massive tag was added to Archons in a WoL patch, so it wasn't always like this.
It's been a while since I've played sc2, but is there a way to get the replay file? I really just wanna be able to see everything
One tiny optimization that I have noticed you (and other players) could make is having a drone return their cargo before you morph them into a building.
I imagined locust waves to split up the armies, perhaps to harass neighbors later in the game.
Maybe just too slow between attacks to make a difference. Brood lords are just a much more constant attack.
What a brutal challenge well done
I am dissapointed to see that out of 7 cheater AI that none of them attacked before the 6-7 minute mark.
Kind of sad...
But great job on another challenge complete.🎉
Even cheater Protoss don't know how to play without turtling.
Even cheater protoss don't attack pre-deathball
@@stevenhetzel6483 as a protoss should 😂
Dang dude, you did it!
Great work bro!
the force fields make this more doable as they slow down the enemy even further
without these dumb forcefields the ais would crash onto you all at once and your dps and transfuses wouldn't be enough to hold them back
Straight up a SEVEN MINUTE battle LOL
Damn imagine the AI sending voids around to the back of the base 😄
Congrats Marc!
For next challenge protoss has a unit that everyone likes: It's ball shaped and it shoots EXPLOSIONS. Do a disruptor challenge please:)
Broodlords and liberators make ai.exe shut down.
23:36 I like how you don't consume the extractor
Nicely done
“What would happen if we challenged you 7v1?”
“It would be extremely painful.”
“You’re a big guy!”
“For you….”
If disruptors hit burrowed units, my guess is those cause you the most trouble and that you rematched 34 times before getting the dub. These are my predictions
do the enemies mine 40% faster or 40% more? so if a base has 1000 minerals. do they mine 1400 out of it or just empty it faster?
40% more. Notice how their mineral patches took longer to degrade, Thermy expanded before them so that's why. If it were 40% faster they'd have expired long before his
Before I start the video I just wanna say.. I BELIEVE IN YOU.. WE BELIEVE IN YOU..
Can't wait for 1 vs 7 Insane Terran.
29:00 lol this probes
Nice work!
Goblins video "Protoss doesn't build air units unless you force them to".
I think you can cheap out on spores early game!!
Edit: nvm observers
Would be sick to see versus all random
Di star, the AI that beat the Protoss player can make an invitation to you and battle in a game. I would pay huge money to see that. Great game as always Mark!
Congratulations!
Ironically this was the ai busting strat in brood war too.
THE ABSOLUTE MADLAD DID IT AGAIN
That was amazing.
Good thing they don't use warp prisms.
Best sc2 content online!!
Madness.... Loved it
This is indeed crazy.
Man... you are INSANE A.I.
glad you didn't do live commentary :D we don't want you to die
