love this! 🥰 Thought you will kill the scv - but perhaps it would be the edge in the last fight, when the buildings burn down, and the last units counts.
Marc, I've been watching daily ever since Bong Cloud. The teaser at the beginning is a really nice add to the show. Keep up all the amazing work and content!
I like the teasers too. He had one a while back with a spongebob theme where it said "17 seconds later". I want to sahow it to my son but can't find it again. :( @@Forrest_dev
I hate them. They're not only spoilers for the video, but they just feel like YT Shorts tacked onto the front of a video. Waste of time. I don't want to watch the same content twice in one video.
I know you've been trying out the intro "hooks" and playing around with them a bit. I gotta say that this episode's "hook" was a pretty solid win in my opinion. 1. You showcased a moment that's coming in this video. 2. You setup the stakes and put a little tension on. 3. You didn't show the result, so now we're more encouraged to watch on to find out. I think this worked out well compared to some of the full-form spoiler hooks that some of the previous videos have had.
I think the refinery idea was great, however next time it might be better to build it on the further vespene geyser just to keep the fluke observer or whatever seeing it as it flies out. Also, when you sent in the initial 4 widow mines, you should probably send 2 in the normal way and 2 in the back at the same time or slightly staggered so that he sees the front ones and you burrow near the ramp or into his main. Then the other 2 come around his natural nexus when he pulls them away for a pincer, he's got no where to go and he may not even see the backdoor ones. Additionally, might be better to mine the gold crystals on the top edge since he's probably less likely to see it being mined away.
Scv wasn't trapped. His name and role is "Medium " . Had to stay by the ghost academy to increase his connection and communication with the spirit world. I think you got lucky with a non mining, non building, support telepath.
So for your next grandmaster challenge... "switch to grandmaster" were you make them believe you are doing x, but y actually happens. For instance, like... making them think "hes going bio" and you hit them with a thor rush.

TLDR: eat 3 to 4 meals per day. There's a metabolic reason why. Your body needs to replenish proteins, but the first 20 grams of protein in the meal are converted into glucose. Therefore, you need to eat more than 20 grams of protein per meal, otherwise you will lose muscle mass (which is terrible, especially as you age). This leads to larger meals, with lots of calories. Therefore, you need to constrain to 3 meals or you'll get fat (4 if you are bulking). The third constraint is that you don't want to awaken your metabolism unnecessarily, such as having a light snack that will turn into pure glucose. When you do that, all that's happening is that you're elevating your insulin, for basically no benefit. This can lead to metabolic imbalance and aggravate/accelerate chronic illnesses such as cancer. One more reason (not proven yet) is that it causes you to age faster. In this theory, the less meals you eat, the slower you age-- in fact, skipping meals altogether and doing periodic water-only fasts may help rejuvenate your organs by promoting autophagy, stimulating ketone production and strengthening your mitochondria.
Just started the video but I have to say I approve of your new way of teasing. I guess it's obvious with nukes but I'd love to see it on less "explosive" builds.
As long as you hit your calorie and protein goal, number of meals doesn't really matter. If 9 small snack meals through the day works for you it works for you. Lots of people reccomend time windows of fasting and eating, like 16 hours off 8 hours on
Love your show ! We should add APM and WPM as Word Per Minute for you my dear :) By the way, the teaser is a bit spoiling... In my opinion, it's not good. But it's not gonna ruin the Show ;)
Marc can't call a unit " silly goose " because he calls himself and/ or his microable units, or his confused opponent that enough. I do love uthermal curse words. " get fricked", is my favorite. Second best is " from down town" ,like a NBA announcer. I think therm can get away with it, because, from what I've seen in camera angles, he is at least 6 ft. tall. Maybe over 2 meters tall. it's imba to hide a worker behind such a hearty structure. Every ghost academy should have a worker for moral or repair.
I have a GM challenge idea: Tech Tree to GM, no upgrade/research to start, every new unit type he make unlocks 1 upgrade/research of his choice, SCV and MULE does not count as unit.
After mineral trick with mine, i have similar with ghosts: mine only one line and lounch a nuke from behind the mineral line. I'm not sure if it's actually possible. As for the name for the dum-dum SCV, i guess Muppet fits pretty well)
with your stuck SCV, since you cant make a medevac, you could have lifted it out with a CC, its questionable if the APM investment is worth it, but it would be a great solution within the ruleset.
14:53 The SCV stuck behind the ghost acadamy isn't actually stuck, his name is Sal and he's the janitor for the academy his full name is Sal Cant Vacate
@uthermal i hope you read this. Idk why, but why do you not queue up hits with ghosts. Why do you not shift click small movement commands on the first one, second one, third one etc. and then launch it on the last one so the first X amount of nukes run out of movement commands and start their nukes. its much harder to click on one of their bases, click the ghost, then shoot the nuke. Just use shift click+movement commands to add delay to the nuke drop.
I do this cloak strat since a year or 2 and I can tell you it is better like this because 1. sometimes the nukes are not ready yet and you can't queue them 2. you wanna have a look first where the detection is and start running and nuking in the right place, because often the ghost nukes next to a Spore and queen or overseer and then you watch and the nuke is lost
To be fair mass nuke strat would be pretty annoying in real life too.
😨
Yea it would be a minor inconvenience
This is a video game dude

The timing in the second game of that guy leaving is just pure gold
Marc playing "musical mines" is so funny.
Watching the enemy units running all over the place as the mines keep repositioning... beautiful chaos! 💋
love this! 🥰

Some pretty good suggestions I think!
Very good suggestions. And rather than chase the probes with mines (futile!) trap them first.
Scv wasn't trapped. His name and role is "Medium " . Had to stay by the ghost academy to increase his connection and communication with the spirit world. I think you got lucky with a non mining, non building, support telepath.
Haha. The amount of times you say he's not paying attention just for the opponent to be paying attention.
That SCV's name should be Gomer Pyle.
14:50
Obviously the name for someone getting stuck is "Step Sister", Because the SCV is stuck, bro and needs help. :V
That SCV that got stuck behind the Ghost Academy is clearly a silly goose named Marc
The stuck SCV is called Gary. In my group of friends, the person who screws things up is always called Gary.
Please, oh big and holy UThermal, can you bring back the penguin brothers for an episode?
SCV Names
Billy = hero
Silly = clown
but what about a silly billy?
Silly Billy was that marine in a previous match that took out a pylon by itself. @@cuddlecakes7153
That SCV was modelled after my real-life pathfinding. 🤭 I call him Slobber.
Man imagine being one of those 7 of 50 to actually beat him haha has to feel awesome
I liked the addition of "continue watching, this happens" intro
So for your next grandmaster challenge... "switch to grandmaster" were you make them believe you are doing x, but y actually happens.
For instance, like... making them think "hes going bio" and you hit them with a thor rush.
The SCVs going from the rich gas to the planetary up above killed me lmao.
"What about second breakfast?" is from Lord of the Rings. It is explained better in the books.
Please call the trapped SCV Harstem :P
I'd still love to see a "True Bio" challenge with Marines and Ghosts only (with maybe like 4x medevacs or something)
I've been loving your SC2 content! Fun to watch and listen to.
14:52 - His name is Stucky.
Derpy the SCV. Derping behind a ghost academy
Uthermal is the poster child for thinking out loud lol. I love it.
Sometimes I wish there was a version of Marc that goes for more defensive gameplay lol
Have you done a lurker to grandmaster challenge? Maybe a lurkers/crawlers challenge?
That gas trick seems to expose a small issue with that map design... kinda crazy!

15:04 call that SCV Thomas. I get stuck behind Ghost Academies all the time...
I've just finished watching succession and so I feel like the appropriate name for the SCV is Greg.
Bimmy is the SCV who got stuck. In reference from the AVGN

You can call the SCV "My Guy." Like "My Guy, why did you put yourself there?"
poor stuck cletus
That zerg was 4.6k… it's like beating up little kids while being a martial arts pro…
Wilson because he's stranded and a Castaway meme fits.

Call the SCV David Kim because he engineered his way into being stuck in a corner

The SCV shall be called Jimmothy
gonna have to call the SCV "Bungus".
I'm sure the name that you were looking for that SCV was Kevin
it was Johnny who got stuck in the corner
Maybe he was listening to song - I’ll catch a grenade for you.
The SCV formerly know as Billy
with your stuck SCV, since you cant make a medevac, you could have lifted it out with a CC, its questionable if the APM investment is worth it, but it would be a great solution within the ruleset.
I suggest the name for that scv that gets stucked by building to be: Capitan DumbDumn
You could've used the new command center to pick up the stuck SCV lol
The SCV name is Eric Idle.
"Keith", the name of the SCV.
Next time you lock the scv in you should lift it with one of the CCs.
I think you should call your bad scv's Quasimodo. It kinda fits.
Well Adolf is a recently free name if you're wondering
like the new teasers at the beginning
He is not a stupid csv he is just thinking about his own projects he wants to build. He is Ron the daydreamer.
I was afraid you started to put spoilers at the beginning but It's just a big teaser of what's to come, so I'm reassured ^^'
Stuck SCV should be called "Corky"
I realllllly don't want this challenge to end. My favorite by FAR
That SUV's name is SUC

Gomer , he is definitely a Gomer. S.C.V. Gomer Pile. , As for meals, no less then 2, no more then 5.

Timmy is the name for the SCV.

Reddit uses Kevin as the stand in name for stories about people being really dumb.
Maybe we start calling the SCV that gets itself stuck "Kevin"?
Poor Harstem 😂
Call that SCV "Donk"
eat every 4 hours if you can, its amazing and you dont have to eat to your fullest. Love your content you silly goose
ima call that SCV uThermal
SIX meals a day? woh...I eat all of one per day lol.
you can name that SCV "Charles" :)
Challenge: bio terran only no heal and finish under 10 minutes
name him Sargent Patches from carbots!!
Glad to see normal episodes back, those holiday patch update specials were boring.
Also that SCV is Joe Biden
Also 5-6 small meals that just make you no longer hungry
If you need to, 2 days where you skip breakfast and lunch with mini fasting
You can bounce your stuck SCVs out with a reaper.
