During the first episode, when thermy said that he often loses overlords for no reason as zerg, I didn't believe him, but holy crap I'm a believer now.
I feel like this kind of build is very lore accurate to Zerg. The sort of unfeeling aggression, but also the simplicity. Hive insects are able to accomplish complicated tasks with individuals following very simple rules. You can almost imagine that drones have an instinct that when they discover an enemy base they burrow into the ground and start gestating into a hatchery. Simultaneously they start sending out a psionic call which attracts Zerglings to protect the hive. That just kind of feels like evolution, you know? It has this weird way of arriving at solutions to problems which you might not think of at first, and sometimes it seems needlessly awkward, but it also has a scary efficiency to it. God I love Zerg
Not to mention how everything goes especially wrong when the Zerglings get in during game 2. It was sort of okay when it was "just" a Hatchery, but once the Zerglings got in, that's when the true infestation started!
Except that's not how Zerg works in lore, because they're governed by intelligent beings. This might be able to be said for leaderless Zerg after their cerebrate is killed, but that's usually described as them just becoming mindlessly aggressive and rudderless - which doesn't sound expansive in this way at all.
You've produced some great material so far, but this series is a whole new level! Definitely enjoying the chaos that ensues :D Your ability to comment through all of it really makes it outstanding quality!
5 minutes? man its my lucky day this is my chance. Tbh I only discovered you maybe a week ago so let me do my cringe thing and say I've been binging you a whole bunch, you're so good to watch. I was a CS 1.5 guy (never any good really) but you have that same kind of competitiveness that is so so good to watch! Love your SC2 play no matter what race you place or what you do! I'll catch up eventually Glad you became a content creator, stay amazing mate much love!
I grew up playing singleplayer SC 2 and now watching you playing the roach burrow combo really brought back some good memories I loved playing Zerg great content love the cheese in tournaments videos watched all of them. PROXY HATCH TO GM BABYYYYYY
Try the florencio proxy hatch. Double up two drones on a gas so they look like one and mineral walk them into enemy main. Split them in the main in fog of war; one goes to scout/harrass one sneaks into the corner and becomes a hatch.
U Thermal, have you seen the tactic in Z vs Z, where you cancel a proxy hatch just to get a tiny amount of creep and start a spine crawler? Then attack with the spine and slow zerglings?
You got me playing sc2 again and i just beat a plat guy while I was in silver league and he called me a smurf so i got that going for me. Now I'm gold league baby! Loving your content.
I was recommended a video from you a week ago ( I haven't played sc2 since 2012) but I love your channel! i've been watching your videos as i wind down to go to bed and have you on the side monitor while i do school work. thanks for the videos!
Love all the videos! When will you do the Warm Bowl of Soup challenge? Every gamer has tried to play SC while eating - how high can your APM be while eating? Bonus points to finish the soup while it is still warm.
i really like the way you did your content. You explain relatively well what you doing in the same time you playing which is amazing. I began playing starcraft because of you. That being said, do you have a basic guideline for noob??
that zvz strat is absolutely ridiculous... but yes, the scout was definitely before the hatch first timing. your proxy hatch is basically a "normal" hatch first with only 3 seconds delay (50s vs 47s) somehow. bottom spawn insta-scout into proxy 16 hatch with drone stacking may actually get the exact same timing as a top spawn 16 hatch with no/worse drone stacking.
The issue you're describing at the start often happens to me on borderless fullscreen when I do stuff on another screen when waiting for a match. Usually clicking on the 2nd screen and then back on the game screen fixes it :) hope that helps in the future Also, awesome content as usual!
Ok it's one thing to comment while you're playing Terran because you said you do most of it in autopilot, but to see you commenting while playing all of this crazy Zerg builds is just amazing
Laying here with nothing to watch and not only does a thermie vid pop up... But he's cheesing with zerg too. Probs my favourite type of vid. Let's go baby. It's like a bedtime story before I sleep.
What's interesting is just today I had a ZvP and the guy tried this, tipped me off asking if I was ready to lose st the beginning" sure enough I scout a proxy hatch but he made it in my natural and couldn't get the creep up my hill fast enough, shut him down with one stalker micro, a cannon and a void ray
That was the most effective Roach of all time xD These in-base proxy hatch games are so entertaining because they're so dynamic and improvisational. Much more fun than executing set builds like a machine. Same reason chess is disappointing. It's just memorization. But THIS... this is chaotic good =)
hey uThermal, I don't typically comment on youtube posts, but I've been watching starcraft vods since 2008, your content is the best that has been put out since day9 quit the game. Keep up the good work andthank yhou.
Sir you said Matt Damon is known for something. He’s Jason Bourne. He’s a known hit man, along with a lot of other trades. You just beat a hit man with cheese. Awesome job.
have to say that back in the glory days of bloodwar i watched a game between boxer and some other gosu and boxer played zerg and rush the protoss with lings with burrow and there lings all around his base it was fun game
Uthermal you just created a monster.. i'm making a crapton nice successful cheeses thanks to your videos that gave me ideas on how to set em properly lol
Due to some kind of bug in matchmaking I as 3.4k mmr zerg was matched against 5.7k Rank 37 gm EU Protoss who tried to cannon rush me, and I managed to win with a reactive proxy hatch in his main + burrowed roaches. Dont think I couldve won without ur strat popping into my head after scouting the cannons. Thanks
so weird to me about the Random thing, back in Brood War (when I actually played anything other than UMS/Arcade) I always played random and it was good manners to say your race, so I always did... lol
Do proxy hatch lings and banelings work? Then transition to nydus would be fun to see, while attacking the natural you also drop nydus in the main that would be a total chaos.
Definitely going to get to grandmaster with this challenge. Might be a slog once you get higher up in masters though where people deal with the proxy better. Looking forward to it regardless though!
Never would have thought that a zerg challenge would be so fun to watch since you're a Terran it keeps getting more interesting each episode
*Zerg cheeses*
Every Zerg ever:
"Now we're gonna transition in 2-Base muta"
He should have gone Corruptors and barfed on the command centers.
@@HalseyHFW but TERRAN MARINES
@@arjunratnadev corruptors are rather tanky. I mean I don’t think he had enough marines to actually kill them

Same as this guy. Watch him all the time
Im not even playing Starcraft. But im watching him since 2 months and i love it. Super nice content creator.
A Week ago🤣😧
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the diverse content. Not sure if it's there already, but I can't wait to start seeing Protoss content too!
I can't even begin to imagine cannon rush to GM
@@bruh-xp9zf taking a shower after each vid then, but that would be glorious
So happy you are feeling better. The daily uploads are great. You reignited my passion for SCII, been watching tons since I found your channel.

This is my favorite series from you yet. Keep the 🧀 strong.
Still the best series so far. So much fun to watch you playing Zerg.
6:15 fun fact instead of roaches getting the captain rank at 11 kills its the ravager rank even though there's already a unit called that 😅
pretty sure the ravager rank was a thing before the ravager unit
@@Nutfalcon true
You got me playing sc2 again and i just beat a plat guy while I was in silver league and he called me a smurf so i got that going for me. Now I'm gold league baby! Loving your content.
This is my favorite series so far! Very funny with the cheese 😂 would love to see some lurker plays, maybe dropp or nydus?
Congarts on 60k - been here since 8k subs.
I was recommended a video from you a week ago ( I haven't played sc2 since 2012) but I love your channel! i've been watching your videos as i wind down to go to bed and have you on the side monitor while i do school work. thanks for the videos!
This is becoming a part of my daily routine.
Great video! I'd really really love to see more of insane challenges like 1v6 silvers etc. Thank you so much for still making sc2 content!
MattDamon was a GM Terran back in WoL
You should always take however much time you need for yourself, but I gotta say, these videos are so calming, your vibe is always amazing.
Love all the videos! When will you do the Warm Bowl of Soup challenge? Every gamer has tried to play SC while eating - how high can your APM be while eating? Bonus points to finish the soup while it is still warm.

Beating a cannon rush with proxy hatch is the Starcraft equivalent of the Uno reverse card
3:21 Marine morphs into roach new tech
that zvz strat is absolutely ridiculous...

Also, awesome content as usual!
First game finishes, I like the video
Second game finishes, I attempt to like the video, realise Ive done that already
This is good stuff right here
I was worried that zerg will be boring to watch after the epic terran shenannigans, but you proved me wrong;)💪
your ZvZ matches are the best part of this series
I swear with new videos I have to play against new cheeses on the ladder ='D
Ok it's one thing to comment while you're playing Terran because you said you do most of it in autopilot, but to see you commenting while playing all of this crazy Zerg builds is just amazing
How far you climb doesn't matter ! Here for the vibes and entertainement and this serie is defenitely very fun to watch 🤣
These episodes make me so happy. Thank you.
Wow, it's so cool to see a Florencio strategy used by Uthermal! love it!
Uthermal completes the first "Dont touch the left side of your screen challenge"
Found you after watching lowko for a year or so, your talent is amazing and commentary is so fun to follow along. Love the content!
lol Matt Damon is an American actor. Dude the Roaches in the first game were epic!
Laying here with nothing to watch and not only does a thermie vid pop up... But he's cheesing with zerg too. Probs my favourite type of vid.
Let's go baby. It's like a bedtime story before I sleep.

that burrowed roach attack was amazing haha
I think the follow up should always be upgrades on lings and expansions!
love the series
Really enjoying the Zerg content. Great change of pace.
That was the most effective Roach of all time xD
These in-base proxy hatch games are so entertaining because they're so dynamic and improvisational. Much more fun than executing set builds like a machine.
Same reason chess is disappointing. It's just memorization. But THIS... this is chaotic good =)
MattDamon: nooooo! You can't just make a base in my main! >:(
uThermal: haha, proxy hatch go brrr
"That was good micro" - THE CONFIDENCE!!!
step1: find a protoss
step2: proxy a hatch
step3: creep his base
step4: watch a figurative headless chicken.
You single unit micro during fights and those splits are really impressive
Gosh dangit bro I need more and more and more of this so cool!!!!! You are awesome thank you for the great content. So happy you are back!
hey uThermal, I don't typically comment on youtube posts, but I've been watching starcraft vods since 2008, your content is the best that has been put out since day9 quit the game. Keep up the good work andthank yhou.

I'm officialy addidcted. you brought back my love for startcraft 2
I like how your cheese is the antidote to their cheese lol
These videos are so short man, its almost like the cheese is EPIC!
have to say that back in the glory days of bloodwar i watched a game between boxer and some other gosu and boxer played zerg and rush the protoss with lings with burrow and there lings all around his base it was fun game
''the death animation of an absolute hero''. Nice
Uthermal you just created a monster.. i'm making a crapton nice successful cheeses thanks to your videos that gave me ideas on how to set em properly lol
This build HAS to be so rage inducing to be on the receiving end of lmao
"And we take down Matt Damon. I think he is known for something -- maybe a starcraft player."
6:34 - "spend lavae on drugs" is what I misheard. 😀😀
Even matt Damon’s plot armour is no match for the uthermal proxy hatch roach.
Due to some kind of bug in matchmaking I as 3.4k mmr zerg was matched against 5.7k Rank 37 gm EU Protoss who tried to cannon rush me, and I managed to win with a reactive proxy hatch in his main + burrowed roaches.

that bug with mouse is typically a problem with overlays, like discord or steam overlay or geforce or some other overlays.
Probably my favorite series yet.
These were some crazy matches!
That second game was so unreal and perfect 😂😂😂
next to widow mine/cyclone this is probably your best series yet. haha.. hilarious watching your opponent panic.
That are the games that i was looking for, to introduce a friend to sc2. Awesome action.
you make zerg look more scary. happy infesting
3 wins, but not a single 'gg'. This build really brings out the salt.
Matt Damon is an actor. That is where you recognize the name
Great content as always
so weird to me about the Random thing, back in Brood War (when I actually played anything other than UMS/Arcade) I always played random and it was good manners to say your race, so I always did... lol
I'm ready for my daily dose of vintage cheese.
Thermal overlords be chilling yo!
git murked!
Matt Damon. Starcraft legend.
Somehow your zerg is also really impressive
Do proxy hatch lings and banelings work? Then transition to nydus would be fun to see, while attacking the natural you also drop nydus in the main that would be a total chaos.
For your information, 11 kills roach is now known as a Heroach. Thank's for your attention.
This is the most fun challenge ever! Love it :)
A Terran player playing Zerg and a Protoss player with a Terran name.
I really want to see terran uthermal playing against zerg uthermal cheeses.
I'm looking forward to your videos everyday!
awesome games. so much fun.
what does 10-0 mean when youu account name changed (diff acct?) and talked about other games (off video?) going badly?
the hero roach getting 11 kills and scouting the lib lol
CAPTAIN ROACH! Love this video.
Definitely going to get to grandmaster with this challenge. Might be a slog once you get higher up in masters though where people deal with the proxy better. Looking forward to it regardless though!
is there such a thing as skyzerg? would be very interested if its possible to make it work xD
Felt so bad for the toss in game 2 😂
Why do you need two probes to hit drone for building Hatch?
no way that was the real innovation he's gotta be at least a 5k protoss
man I don't even play sc2, but this is so entertaining
Fantastic stuff!
thank you for your awesome entertainment
“Captain roach” 😂😂😂
Zerg is more fast paced so the games are more exciting and with your micro suits you. More zerg adventures!
I don't even play starcraft but it's nice to watch you😂😅
Love this series.
Amazing series. Can you get one video with Bly or other filthy zerg to watch? Just to teach them
