This is hilarious. Thermy so good he kills them before he can complete his cheese. We're going to need an even tougher challenge.
When he reaches gm the run will end and he will have to land the pf almost always.
Clearly he needs to go double or nothing. Double PF rush to GM!
2 pf's?
This episode was pure comedy.
maybe not a tougher challenge but atougher opponents? what borderline gm means to a pro? its like gold to high diamond?
"CC for High Ground Vision to GrandMaster" is my favorite series yet :) Thanks for all of the awesome content, Marc. Happy New Year!
😆
Literally laughed out loud @ 11:54 seeing the 6 marines and mule group together to go into battle lmfao
I think my favourite games from this series have been the ones where you don't get the PF into their base, but you park it outside the base and use it for containment.
Really works best on zerg and there have not been many :(.
This proves to be one of the best challenges ever.
Only "one of the best" because of... ghosts. :P
But yes. :D
I agree.
This is the first cheesy series that has been as much fun as BeastyQT's old roflstomps tbh. luv ya thermy but I miss beasty :(
“AND HE HAS NO DRONES!”
*wins insane TvP match* 😂
The Thor/SCVs all-in is just so hilarious 🤣 I really struggle to comprehend how you managed to win that 2nd game after everything went so bad in early game 😅😂
I played PF rush for like 4 months (I'm in platinum lol) My fav was to proxy two tanks, set them up on the low ground, fly the CC + factory into the high ground in cover of the tanks, morph into planetary and build more tanks on the high ground behind the planetary. Basically everyone gets freaked that you have a planitary in their base. They can't get close enough to hit the tanks without going arround and if you get a medivac in time you can drop them from high to low and back again all while growing like a cancer, building SCV's to heal up everything and only get amazing trades.
So something like wall off their base to gm? May not work on every map the same but sending the cc with another building is a great idea. Maybe cc hellbat against zerg?
that sounds amazing lmao
Game 2 was one of the most entertaining matches I've ever seen. Freaking hilarious! 😂
Wow perfect timing, just sat down to eat and I can't eat without watching uthermal doing some crazy build
Couldnt agree more with u 😇
that seems unhealthy
same
It was me that coined the phrase "planetary distraction" - it wasn't meant as a rebuke, it's without a doubt the best way to use one. Just rushing a PF can be stopped by anyone higher than bronze just by patrolling workers under it but as you said - people freak out when they see the big red flying building and there's your edge
Marc - would just like to say kudos on being such an entertainer. I'm a subscriber who does not play SC and have no plans to ever do so. However your videos are always worth watching, happy new years and best wishes on years of successful future content!
Haven't played in years but love watching your content. You're always so positive and have great energy while playing, has become one of my fav channels in the past 6 months. Hi from Australia.
I really like the challenge summary + rules at the start of the video. I think that will really help people new to the channel/series to understand whats going on.
lol the middle game that went all ways but well, was hilarious. well done Marc
21-0. "Next time I'll try and have some better strategies." LOL you are a beautiful ruthless human.
Sick episode! My favorite part was where you almost built a PF.
What if you loaded a couple SCVs into the Command Center, flew it over, landed, built the fortress, and then you can pop the SCVs out to repair as needed?
Half the problem is that he needs to build the SCVs for that first, which takes time, or transfer them from his main, which also takes time and reduces his mining income. And all the enemy has to do is focus the SCVs and kill them while the Planetary is building, and it ends up being wasted resources and time. You might say to bring his army units in to protect the SCVs, but if he can do that then the enemy isn't going to attack the Planetary anyways, they'll be trying to kill his units instead and thus there's no need to repair the Planetary in the first place.
It's a very difficult balance to achieve, especially against an opponent who knows what they're doing.
@@LordKelvinX2086 It's better to just toss in a mule if you can don't you think?
He can load the one used to build the planetary, or just send it back to keep it alive since it'll almost certainly die anyway. But, if the scv isn't targeted, he could build an eng bay to block surface area from worker attacks.
@@LordKelvinX2086 In my personal experience, it is best to get scvs to come in at the right time, the surprise injection of 5-8 scvs gets the planetary up instead of not up and then I can use that with my army movement, often join up with the pf after doing damage. My fav is still the pf contain though, but I do think it has serious issues outside of pvz.
@@LordKelvinX2086 Ah, can you not load SCVs back into the Command Center while it is upgrading to a Planetary Fortress? I was thinking of doing micro similar to medivacs and warp prisms where you can dodge attacks and repair in between. If that isn't possible, oh well.
16:54 Lol
“This was just some BS” 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t stop laughing at game 2
The planetary doesn't need to kill them. If they freak out so much over the PF that you win from their overreaction... Still a successful PF rush.
that "cc flying with the gg" is gonna be a meme. if it's not already the salt canon signature finisher xD
Happy New Year Marc, here's to another year of the best SC2 content on UA-cam
Recently i've seen the legendary cheese player Florencio do insane PF Rush vs Zerg.
It's CC before depo and it's timed so CC can lift and land before hatchery on natural can finish so creep does not block the PF.
You should def consider if insane ideas like CC first can work cuz i think they are really funny to see.
Ofc in case of Florencio's CC first is double edged as it's better vs macro Zerg as it's proper contain with PF but worse vs zerg rush as you have no def at home but maybe Uthermal could figure out how to both hyper rush the PF and not insta lose to zerg rush.
That second game was, uh, something else! 😂 Good stuff! 👍😁
"My Thor is stuck"🥳👌
Really love all your amazing challenges!
YT knows to put your videos right at the top slot.. I do not miss any of them. Thanks for the awesome content dude!
Stellar content marc! Happy new year
Next series - double PF rush to GM x). Love the content, have a Happy New Year, Marc!
i laugh at your videos more and more each time! Thanks for the great content.
Happy new year! Thanks Thermal!
Really great episode!
these gosh damn opponents just rolling over to die
Happy New Year Uthermal and everyone else!
That game 2 😂😂 it's like an "sc2 but your build changes every 2 minutes" challenge lmaoo
Happy New Year! Be well! Love your content! Amazing ideas you give me!
The last guy waited until he saw the CC flying into the base LUL.
Man I havent played sc2 in years, but for some reason i am hooked to your videos! When I was younger it was a dream to sit behind some top level sc1 players, and now we can with youtube!
"He destroyed my tech lab twice, but I bet he probably won't destroy it a third time so I won't move my starport just yet."
Uthermal is too good... Beating GM opponents with a CC just flying over his army.
Thank you for your dedication. I use your videos to improve my listening skills in English xD Positive attitude, good communicating skills and hard skills, being polite - this is unique combo, which makes me easy to follow up.
Uthermal cutting a lot of gass :D @ 2:11
Perfect video for hangovers
"Well, I've been smoking people too hard, guess I'll take a break!"
You're just too good lol. And your commentary is the BEST.
When you're so good that you accidentally fumble your way to 21-0...
The greatest part about this cheese is that it's so anti-meta that no one knows how to handle it. Opponents just panic and you use that and micro skills to ride to victory.
Great content as always! I do not know why Thermy does not put one probe in the planetary when flying it in the opponent's base so the probe can repair. I do not know if the command center can transport other units but if that is the case woild be fun to see it transporting widow mines when landing hahah.
Great series no matter what you call it Marc. Keep up the good work, don't worry about them haters
At 9:27, if you control your hellions separately from your hellions you can probably take no damage on the medivacs and extend the harassment as a result
A masterclass in winging it with that thor all in lol
10:04 dang Thermy, super scary game lol. You must have said Scary 10 times or more lol
I watch all your stuff, Game 2 is one of my all time faves 😂
Happy New Year Thermy!!!
"Also build an extra CC and win before it is landed at enemy base" challenge looks pretty good!
i personally love "planetary distraction to grandmaster". it's almost impossible to force a planetary fortress onto a quality opponent, but you can distract anyone with the threat of one.
Crazy builds nice!
I'm surprised he wasn't on 4 bases when you finally dropped that thor.
That Thor "Build" was the dirtiest game I've seen yet
This and proxy hatch are my favorite shows. Would love to se them continue past GM.
Happy new year!
uThermal, i have an idea, can you and Mana (in the same team) content for 2v2 do? This content in 2v2? is it a good idea? I watch 100 percent both perspectives. You both my best content creator. How is it for an cross over? My dreams come true.
HNY thermy looking forward to what you'll be up to in 2023 ^^
I’ve been watching since cyclone mine to gm/hellion raven and this by far is my favorite series. It’s so silly that it works and talking about it having the best name of salt cannon which you get the most salt on this challenge. Hardly any ggs
If you ever need a video to show how much better pro players are at the game, show them this one. Literally spending 500+ plus minerals and some gas on a floating building and still winning. That show just how innefective they can be and still be ahead of you. :) loving the series, dude
When you play in your next turni try having a few cheeses per race. and pick which one you think is best based of the match up.
For example
VS Zerg 1. Penguin Brothers 2. Contain Planetary 3. Ghost, hellions, nukes,
VS Terran 1. Air 2. Cheese 3. cyclone, mine, rines, med
VS Toss 1. Thor rush, 2. Air 3. Ghost, hellions, nukes,
Excelent one base all-in Thermy jajaja
I do love you videos
The ultimate bait: Zerg using a Protoss portrait with the name Terran.
can't wait to see you mess around in the new patch
“Why is there a Thor here?”
Because…THOR IS HERE!
If you want to do it with PF, need to play mind game with options. Either you move closer to drop zone and not telegraph your intentions that your PF is landing in their main and do it last second by switching the drop site or show the drop site is next to their base and then drop it on their ramp at the last second as it travels over it. The other mind game is show you are dropping the PF in main base to cause panic and recall units or keep them at home waiting for the drop then drop at nearby mineral line. Why is this a more conservative option? Main base opponents can pull probes, easier to force opponents to string out units and pick them off on route to nearby base, then you can choose which units to attack first. Usually offensive units and don’t have a bunch of probes-workers getting in the way. Look at how many scvs you bring in for a Thor and how many you bring for a PF to repair. Easier to medevac a Thor and repair than a PF. A PF win is a mid game win. Your reaper and Thor drops are early game cheese. PF is a mid game cheese. Your PF won’t get utilized unless you drop it into 2nd base. All it does is increase panic when opponents see that it is going to be dropped in main base or top of the ramp. Since proximity to mineral lines and workers then options would be to choose hitting mineral line.
Counter to Uthermals cheese. Mistake 1 playing greedy and expanding to fast, Mistake 2 building the wrong units to counter. Mistake 3. Panicking and not thinking how to counter a cheese. Mistake 4. Not paying attention to opponents build and timing. Meaning you play hi MMR player and you see what at what time and don’t get suspicious on he scouting. Good indicators are, did they build 2nd base, did they build gas, did they build other structures, add ones, tech, reactors. If you can beat someone’s all in cheese then you normally won. Think of it as, I don’t need to play a long game, just beat the cheese in the beginning to win.
Protoss died because of 1 small change you made. You built Vikings instead of medevacs. You controlled air superiority. Otherwise that game would have ended differently. You are winning faster because your making adjustments to your cheese as you go along in your series. The game ends when you break the opponents mentally and they just quit and gg. That effects how fast game ends.
I don’t want to give away tactics that will mess up your series especially with so many people enjoying them. I will say there were 2 key moments that decided the game. Key moment 1. Destroying the pylon and deactivating his starport. That put Protoss behind. The moment unit popped out, Uthermal didn’t play his normal medevac and went to Vikings to counter. Key moment 2. How Protoss handled that single air unit that did pop out. How it was used. Protoss had air superiority for a moment and wasn’t used to snowball that advantage.
Risk of barracks or starport proxy type cheeses. You get shut down if opponents gets suspicious and scouts and builds proper counters. Advantage of PF cheese, semi offensive, can build scvs to repair units, can take away resources next to opponents base if game lasts longer.
Game two was legit! Gold
Happy New Year!
I had an idea for a challenge, not for a series or anything but just something it would be cool to see you try...
What about a squad size limit? Not allowed to ever have above x number of units receiving the same command. so it would be a bunch of mini groups and never in a big army
I am enjoying the series
This series is less PF rush more "Lose a CC and win anyway rush"
hilarious episodes
Sometimes leaving your opponent unable to decide how to respond means they make mistakes more often.
In some respects this mineral disadvantage you have due to the investment in the PF might be somewhat comparable to that during the bonecloud challenge, yet you were obviously still able to beat good players with that, so I think the micro, decision making, positioning and choice of fights are what really makes up for it. Although I admit I would love for the PF to have more of an impact in the fights, it does force them into a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation. Thanks again for the videos, I've watched every day since I came across your channel 6 months ago with Ghosts to GM (apparently UA-cam algorithms do work occassionally!).
in mini games the PF would be called a distraction carnifex
Terrified by one PF landing in your main? Well, we've got the fresh new development for you! For a limited time, now you can enjoy TWO PFs landing in your main in a single push!
game 2 was insane :D
Always look at the mini map. 😁
so confident i preliked
Thermy is so OP he's basically playing protoss with terran :)
Damn that game2 :D sick, how you could manage that win
Just an idea for your next challenge. No warp gate tech to gm since i would love to see you play protos
Let's go!
I don't know why but the planetary always reminds me of the head of Optimus Prime xD
Maybe try another Optimus Prime contain while upgrading it with turrets/bunkers/tanks/mines/libs and get yourself a giant mech (without legs) in front of the enemy base :D
Probably could have just added this to the speed-running sc2 series
youre freaking crazy
"proxy 111 hellion drop, mine drop, failed planetary rush, thor allin with SCVs" is a build you can defeat a 5.3k protoss with. how
20:00 lmao that command center "guys! wait for me!"
I'm pretty much caught up on all your content. I like the themed stuff a lot more because the little bit of extra tension you feel in the 400 tourneys comes through and stresses me out a little 😅, but these are all about the fun. Will you ever go back and redo your OG Terran School vids, or do they hold up still? I know there have been some balance changes since the first videos.
Thumbnail Arrow Achievement Unlocked!
To be honest, most of the games you kill an enemy without using planetary fortress.
The kitchen sink build ftw.
Double planetary rush is the only answer.
That and getting a rumble channel.
Rush your main as the proxy. Mine the opponents starting mineral line.
How's them apples!
Game 2 should be called the Alice in Wonderland build ;)
Its ok they will get better as you rise.
