Watching you grind out a Terran with Sentries was epic. You could feel the frustration and the "WTF"'s coming from the opponent every time you send in a wave of sentries, or he finds a hidden base.
you are the only content creator on all of youtube that wouldnt spread this out into 8 different 15m in videos. Took me a few days but i got through it all. You really are a gem in this dark world thermy
so what exactly is better in a 2,5hr video you watch over 5 days instead of 5 30min videos you also watch over 5 days? it has literally no benefits and people are more likely to not start the 2 hr video at all
i would start them but if i get bored in between because content is not fun enough or too tedious to watch for long i would skip or watch something else after x amount of time. so if you don't spam 5-10 vids with stupidly uncreative intro + outros, always the same style that's when i stop watching at all because it's too annoying to skip every time in short increments... i want to lay back more than 5 min. :D@@rigdigwus

29:57 MaNa plays mass sentries, and yes: You should definitely get attack upgrades for them. and chrono them. Attack upgrades make a really big difference for sentries.
I saw that the Mothership is greyed out and it gave me a terrible idea for a mothership rush. Use the motherships recall ability to recall a bunch of probes and warp prisms into the enemies main. Use the warp prisms to rapidly setup cannons (skipping the pylons) and protect the structures with the mothership's spells and cloak until you have a fortress in their base.
@@zerkmerk8257 exactly what avatar did tbh. But you really have no rights to call these grandmaster players noobs if you wouldn't be able to beat them with at least a normal strategy
@@aleksandrssprogis8895uthermal is not a noob, I would never call him one. But he beats up on people way under his level and then brags about it for views. If you want to cheer that on that's totally fine, but it's true.
@@zerkmerk8257 he doesn't brag about it at all, some of them could beat him and you need to play against better player than you to become better. Stop being so sensitive. He know they are good and never insult them.
wow, im super impressed that whichever "monobattle" you're playing, you always manage to keep your unspent low. except for the gas heavy units, but even then you spam out cannon+battery and expand like a madperson. WP! awesome stuff!
That Sentry game made me cry with joy..😂 Best thing I've ever seen. The Oracle game was cool too, I use a similar build at times, and I know how devastating mass Oracles can be..😂
Would love to see a sentry + high templar to GM. Imagine throwing a bunch of hallucinated archons and real archons at your enemy and they don't know which is which XD
You have somehow captured all the nostalgia for playing single player Starcraft, all the strategies we would have loved to have tried out ... but you doing it at a professional PvP level 😂
I think my favorite thing about all of uThermal's videos is how EXCITED he is about the strats, SC2, just everything! Thank you for the energy and positivity :D
Hooooly crap, I know this has been requested a few times but I didn't expect it so soon! This is an INSANE accomplishment, can't believe you brought it home. GG WP Marc, you legend!!
The skill and adaptability.... with commentary and explaining your intentions and thoughts as well as ways to defeat your strats ..... all while kickin' @$$ .... Ultra Bangin'.
I think the reason mass sentries are surprisingly good comes down to density. They don't do a lot of damage individually, but you can pack a lot of them into a relatively small area. Combined with forcefields, they get the job done.
Yes I think you are right, seeing as you can use the FF to take a series of fights where you heavily outnumber the forces that are able to return fire. I think their stats are also not as bad as people think because we see the sentry as a "non combat" unit.
You don't understand at which point sentries are bad, beating GM with sentries is insane. I was diamond 2 5 years ago, and I could only beat platinium 2 with mass sentries. This is super hard. For example I could beat easily diamond 3 with mass stalkers. Sentries just die against everything. You need to do so much damage to the economy, this is insane, and he didn't even use a prism or observers like beasty 🤯 This is just insane
I knew how the Immortal game was going to go before watching it because I've done it before. This is a massively underrated when unit when played. When opponents see you commit hard with a ground unit that initially beats their army, they often make the mistake of getting base defense to stall. Problem is that is exactly what Immortals rip through so they lose even harder. And the proper way to play immortals is recognizing that you kill buildings so fast so you should be looking to shut down production and tech/upgrades as a minimum to effectively trade. Of course pylon depowering is huge too and you should always spot it and do exactly that to stop the inevitable switch to Zealots from gateways.
This was awesome and great job thermal! I also did an all-in sentries push once myself except I instead used all my energy on making it look like I had a like 6 Archons and 10 Colossus with all my Sentries they just insta GG'd and left the game without actually trying to defend against it lol.
Ah yes the legendary Trippin’ Balls build. Straight from the hay day of Novawar Says on LAGTV. A build so absurd and so undeserving of victory, but so satisfying when it happens anyway!
That sentry game was beautiful. Insane that you pulled it off without allowing warp prisms. The oracles game reminds me of the ZvT tactic where you wait for the Terran to move out and then backstab with mass ling bane. Terran loses a game losing amount of workers and need to do counter damage. But if they look away at the wrong moment to defend at home, their army evaporates to banes.
Sometime in the night I opened this video in my sleep and I had very Starcraft themed dreams. Most prominent was cheesing with photon cannons but putting them on the sides of cliffs so people wouldn't see until they went over or around the edge. Was quite strange but not unpleasant. Video is better a second time now that I am awake.
cannot believe this channel's growth it's tripled since i subscribed, congratulations to you! also if you've never seen beastyqt's sentry to grandmaster series, it's definitely worth the watch!
Also about 54:18, Oracles did use to be stronger, they had a bug which made them better against unit concentrations (which Zerg are prone to do) by dealing damage instantly after killing the last unit (due to the code of it being an ability and not an attack) instead of waiting for the cooldown.
well done!! I really enjoy your content.. I played SC many years ago but it was too hard.. once in a wile I like watching still some videos of pro players and since I discovered you It's been fantastic! thank you!!
Say what you will about the length of the video, but I watched it all in one go and was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I don't actually play SC2 but the commentary is very insightful and not difficult to follow.
@uThermal I saw a streamer named Maximus Black from LifesaGlitchTV, I think that's where the vid was, had a sentry only build he called Trippin Balls. It was pretty funny. Congrats on this challenge completion! :D
40:06 The force field over the minerlas hahahaha, too good, like the weekly mutation in Co Op 🤣🤣🤣 . I need to see this challenge with Zerg, I hope you do it one day.
"This has been one of the most difficult challenges in this video" I feel like you've said It like 10 times, and you know what, i believe you. All these games are completely crazy
Amazing content, wow! These games are so awesome. (I think you should release challenges like this one game at a time by the way - I'd be excited for the next game every day.)
Great run! I've noticed one thing in that sentry only match, that terran units tend to derp (or dirp?) if caught between force fields, so I think it would be viable to use hold position, so that they shoot more before they die.
the sentry targeted the closest marine so its better to just hault them and let them move up on it self, if you use hold position they'll stay there and miss out damage if the frontal marine dies
hello again! i've always wondered why you never go for shields upgrade? for 1 upgrade, every single unit and building gets +1 armor, and if you use batteries, you continuously get more value out of it, and shields recharge, whereas health doesn't.... if you could make a comment about that at some point in one of your future videos please =)
Protip: not only can you see the shape of the unit being built in the Stargate, you can look at the light blink pattern for Terran buildings to see which units are being built from the starport, barracks, and factory.
holy crap that sentry only match was beyond epic. even though you (more or less) implied that you were going to win, I still felt that this was extremely impossible throughout the match .Man... what a rush!
Who wins : A few Sentry bois or Stimmed Bio with Medivacs Tanks Liberators and Ghosts?
crazy game fun to watch
Be honoust, did you expect to win before starting the game??

the thing is, with some creators its like "oh no a 1hour video..."
with uthermal it's like "YES a 2 hour+ long video!"

He probably felt going against that one character that when you thought is dead there is still a next form.
that was the most beautiful sentry only game I have ever seen. even better than the attempts professional protoss players have made!
Did u gorget sentry only to grandmaster from beastyqt ? One of the best serie so far
I almost cried imagining 5 blue flame hellions the whole time

Mass sentry game was awesome, i expected a quick defeat but that game was wild 🤣
Imagine being on the ladder and losing to sentries-only in a macro game. Wild game.
that game was wild XD
Honestly, I would just be impressed.
29:57 MaNa plays mass sentries, and yes: You should definitely get attack upgrades for them. and chrono them. Attack upgrades make a really big difference for sentries.
What upgrades to get for sentries? All of them! For such a weak unit you need every boost you can get.
What I love about this series is how much it highlights what each unit can and can't do.
Can't wait to see you do this with Zerg!
would have been a good idea to use halucinated colosus to draw the tank fire into the mineral line at 40:55
I kept wishing he'd do more with hallucinations and tank splash damage.
This is one of the greatest 2 hour videos I have ever watched. Absolutely love it Marc.
Not sure if most people watched all the way, but I did!
SO DID I!! Mindblowing TBH, I don’t think I’ve EVER seen such masterful instruction and performance (all while casting every game’s commentary 🤯🤯)!!
That pure sentries game was EPIC!
I saw that the Mothership is greyed out and it gave me a terrible idea for a mothership rush.
Use the motherships recall ability to recall a bunch of probes and warp prisms into the enemies main. Use the warp prisms to rapidly setup cannons (skipping the pylons) and protect the structures with the mothership's spells and cloak until you have a fortress in their base.

At some point I believe uThermal would win with observers only :D
"no unit, not even probes challenge"
2.5 hour uThermal Protoss video?! Yes, please! The sentry game is freaking hilarious. Amazing stuff man!
Finally finished the whole video, yeah, that sentry game was wild. And I like how you managed to disrupt that terran one base all-in
I watched the full video in one go and enjoyed the hell out of it. I was sad yesterday that there was no video but you compensated it tenfold
I love watching Sentry challenges. That was my favorite series from BeastyQT.
I miss him and Husky sooo much!!!
Epic. The sentry fights were crazy.
nice man!
it took me almost as many sessions to watch the video as it took you to record it :D

That's some next level knowledge
Wow more info can be taken from Terran then, as P only has Stargate info
Wait..... WHAT?!
Whaaaat???
Is that legit? I haven't found a source that corroborates it.
The sheer amount of PvPs in this challenge just goes to show how bonkers a matchup that beast is.
Why am i expecting the Terran you won against in the Sentry Game to send the replay to Harstem for IIODIS.
Poor Pigfarmer. You owned him several Times in the last Videos :D
That is an amazing video that must have taken an amazing effort!
Holy shit a 2 hour thermy video? CANCEL ALL MY APPOINTMENTS
