Same, I know he mentioned in another video he may have to take random days off, but I moved my lunchbreak to line up with these. I just finished binging the last 12 months of his content.
@6:00 That was actually pretty genius of the opponent. He started attacking with the single zergling, then the swarm came later. Because there was no breaks in attacks there wasn't a SECOND notification.
Ive gone through so many youtube phases but something about uThermal's content is just so well produced its satisfying to watch or listen to even well beyond my foray into Starcraft. Cheers to being alive at the same time as Marc!
Just want to thank you Marc for the daily uploads; it's something I look forward to daily, and I hope you keep it up. The best Sc2 channel on UA-cam; great personality for it. Maybe meet in Mexico one day!
@@IamKnucks Marc revealed that 95 kill ghost is going to happen in thumbnail, but without the spoiler, I wouldn't know when that is going to happen. Personally, not having the spoiler would have made all other nukes a bit more exciting because I wouldn't have known if those there 'the one', and at the same time, when the big nuke actually happened in game, I wasn't as impressed, because I already knew that it will hit.
@@IamKnucks I knew the nuke would be good, but the 95 kill reveal was what kills it for me. I do think it's a fine line between a good teaser and a spoiler.
Yup, clocking in at 1 AM here :D This episode was absolutely golden, I do agree that with the current lineup we kinda lack longer games usually, but this one surely delivered. Also think that you're getting even better at multitasking with ghosts and sneakily placing/controlling them with simultaneous nukes. That 95 kills madlad needs a name :P
Marc's videos are truly a blessing! Sometimes I don't even watch, just listen to his incredible commentary, while doing the household chores at 11 P.M., after the baby goes to sleep, and I need some energy to push through. Yeah, you definitely know when you need get back to the computer to watch :D
I was thinking the same but I watched it anyway. He usually does 3 games per episode so you do not know for which game the spoiler is unless you caught the name of the opponent as well. i did not so for me it was spoiler free. Cheers!
In 10+ years my best ever kill combo is 2 Banelings for 37 SCVs, 2 Mules and a Command Center, technically it's the last Baneling that got all the kills! I kept an amazing screenshot of it :)
I have an idea on a new series. I call it "Counter." Instead of limiting yourself to certain units in the series, you instead build units that most effectively counter what your opponent is doing. So, for example, if your enemy was a Terrain building lots of marines, what would you build to counter them? Tanks maybe? In the early game, you would have 2 options. Light cheeses (no all in) that weaken your opponents start while allowing you to start the macro game ahead, or inducements that would encourage your opponent to counter you. For example, if you started the game with 2 battle cruisers warping into his main base, what is your opponent likely to do in the game to counter that? Then while he is building his counter, you are already building a counter to his counter in advance (maybe the counter to a battle cruiser attack is lots of defensive towers, and in the meantime, you are building a lot of tanks).
"Why would you look at your muta's retreating?" "Either you would be the best player in the world or the worst." Yep, that basically sums up my view on SC2.
Honestly I've been doing cyclone only builds before this patch came live. I think they actually suck now, it's so difficult to micro them, they "wiggle" a lot now especially fighting mass lings and it's become a mess.
I mean...what was he even going to do? That nuke alone was like, 3000+ resources. And he already lost several mineral lines worth of drones off the back of this. Yes he could remake everything but he clearly was getting tilted and decided to just leave to save his sanity.
Personally cannot wait for the Thermy-baboon content to come with the new update 😆 And also, much love for the daily uploads man, always glad to see the uThermal notification come up :)
The forward planetaries are so good, preventing the zerg from just smashing banes into your mining planetaries and winning by attrition over the lost mining time and scv's. Love seeing how PvZ is evolving!
Hot Take, I liked the preview at the beginning because it helps give a new viewer a taste of the excitement coming. This is a good strategy to link the video titles into the content to deliver on the hook. . However,, this strategy performs best when watching the video delivers more fun than expected. Believe people were dissapointed by spoiler because the final moment of the video was less climactic. One way around this may be to have the preview just be your reaction, and just show the ghost zoomed in with 95 kills on the replay? In this way the 'payoff' / 'money shot' isnt spoiled. Not sure if this would work well in editing.
speaking of sleeping scheds... i usually watch your vids at 3 to 6 am before going to sleep but now it's 5:40 pm and i borderline just woke up could be a pro gamer but my apm is a double digit number and my iq is a negative one absolutely enjoy your zerg series btw
@Uthermal before this episode ends please allow all units in bunkers with Neosteel Armor that's +2 armor and 6 infantry in one bunker for D I really like this episode it's one that beastyqt never did before he switched games. Maybe stretch it out longer?
Last game that zerg could have still play on, but guessed he was mentally defeated. The beauty of zerg is u can destroy half their army less than 6mins they are maxxed again.
Hey Marc, Plz dont spoiler the best moment of the video at the start. Its like putting the plot twits into a trailer of a movie. Just a hint! Love your videos keep it up dude!
Marc, i love the cheese games, but i would love to see some macro based challenges. I think what i would really like to see is Greed to GM. Just the most disgustingly greedy builds. I want to see 3 CC openers in the higher brackets!
I think that worse than "losing my warmup game" is saying "I feel very strong today" then losing first two games in a row :D - never say that again at the start of a video, LOL
You know uThermal, the whole idea to become "un nydus able" would work a bit easier, and be more economical if you took my previous challenge in mind and just build command centers to orbitals there. Ironically i don't have issues with nydus only because theres like 5-6 orbitals in my main blocking everything.
That small teaser intro clip spoils a lot. The video headline should do the job well enough: "Nuke of the year" "You don't want to miss this nuke" "Most amazing nuke" and so on. Another comment proposed to have a clip without the resulting hit, but I don't recommend it either. The result is obvious which also spoils. ❤
I think the reason zergs make corruptors rather than mutas is because you already have shown a lot of widow mines and widow mines are just a huge pain in the rear when you play muta
I know you've done some of this with nydus cheese and ultras... But I would love to see speedlings / ultras ONLY.... obviously max upgrades on both. Queens as needed, maybe one per hatch. Here we go! speedlings / ultra flood.... no nydus....
Ify our bad at finding nukes and theres lots of ghosts... The proper solution for low apm players as zerg. Lurkers and over seers on a 2/3 unit behind patrol... It takes about 2-4 overseers on a patrol and one lurker can kill a ghost before it gets off, and if it snipes your lurker you also no where it is and can trap it out.. but yeah, lurkers with over seers on patrols can be really effective, with also zergling spreads, but the player isn't really adapting to what I call map defence control, where you use a scarcity tactic of units on the field but have pretty muc hcontrol. Where the zerg is moving his army around but its doing nothing which is in effective... It would be better for him to sav the mutas and take out and stuff and swap into other untis and go hyper aggreesive since he actualyl has vision but little map control, becuase he lacks control over what is going on, lol
Your videos are a daily comfort to me. Thank sir. And for the record, I'm not interested in watching you try hard and win standard. I want moar cheese.
Hi Marc, can you change layout of your channel landing page to have the Upload playlist on top? I always have to switch to the Upload tab to view your latest video. I have too many people with notification on and it doesn't show your video sometimes.
How come there's creep on the stairs (where the 95-kill Ghost is standing :D that was sooo dirty btw!) at 33:55 but when you replay it at 34:00 the creep is gone? Has replay always worked that way & I just never noticed?
It's been years since I've played SC2, but I would be so confused if I got away with killing a cc and another finished cc immediately flys in at 6min..
Marc, I just want to say thank you for the daily uploads. I don't watch alot of UA-cam but these videos are something I look forward to every day.
Same, I know he mentioned in another video he may have to take random days off, but I moved my lunchbreak to line up with these.

Same!
Samesies! ❤

Same❤
While you weren't exactly doing much to deny it, that last guy had some amazing top tier creep spread.
@6:00 That was actually pretty genius of the opponent. He started attacking with the single zergling, then the swarm came later. Because there was no breaks in attacks there wasn't a SECOND notification.
it looked like he dropped the cc right on the single ling and didn't even notice.

simon ven a mexico a tomarte unos tequilas y luego a jugar!!!!
AdBlock fee 2.0 btw thanks for daily uploads, I'm thoroughly enjoying your content as it relaxes me after hard days work. Keep it coming :D
The absolute best nuke vs. zerg episode of all time
Pleeeeease don't do spoilers like that :( Could've stopped after the first 4s and it would've been perfect going into the intro.
You didn't think the ghost was going to get those kills by nuking? What's the spoiler? Keep doing what you're doing thermy.
@@IamKnucks Marc revealed that 95 kill ghost is going to happen in thumbnail, but without the spoiler, I wouldn't know when that is going to happen.

I love your videos man, I watch them almost daily. Genius strategies, entertaining commentary and so pro gameplay!
I was thinking the same but I watched it anyway. He usually does 3 games per episode so you do not know for which game the spoiler is unless you caught the name of the opponent as well. i did not so for me it was spoiler free. Cheers!
This episode was nuts. Love the daily uploads!
I like that preview at the start, just started into Starcraft a few months ago, your content makes everyday so much better, thanks.
In 10+ years my best ever kill combo is 2 Banelings for 37 SCVs, 2 Mules and a Command Center, technically it's the last Baneling that got all the kills! I kept an amazing screenshot of it :)

Doesn't sound like much of a difference from a normal game, or otherwise much of a challenge
I also agree on no spoiler. I like goin straight into it and seeing it for the first time
33:03 both players say this in unison, though Thermie was the most pleased about it. 😲
Youre really the only sc2 youtuber i watch. All of your videos are fun, your commentary is very good and the gameplay is always fun to watch.
This has to be in the top 3 episodes of all time.
"Why would you look at your muta's retreating?"
"Either you would be the best player in the world or the worst."
Yep, that basically sums up my view on SC2.
The daily uploads are amazing. This INTRO though, was the best cliffhanger. Great move with this!
gotta agree with the other comments here, it lessens the "big moment" when it is spoiled right in the first 5 seconds of the video
Off topic here. Can we get a mass cyclone to GM series to test how good they are after the update?
Honestly I've been doing cyclone only builds before this patch came live. I think they actually suck now, it's so difficult to micro them, they "wiggle" a lot now especially fighting mass lings and it's become a mess.
@goqsane
Thermy : "hold my beer" 😅
Yesssss
I wouldn't mind seeing Raven/Helion mk2. That series looked borderline OP at times
+1 for new cyclone, before they un-fix them
That nuke landing and the guy just instantly gging and leaving was perfection.
I mean...what was he even going to do? That nuke alone was like, 3000+ resources. And he already lost several mineral lines worth of drones off the back of this. Yes he could remake everything but he clearly was getting tilted and decided to just leave to save his sanity.
What an amazing episode. The last game was truly ridiculous.

Anyone remember Pylo the Pylon? That ghost did more than Pylo ever did and deserves a name.
Love the uploads. I usually watch them around 1am my time!
These videos are great for keeping your mind busy while on one of the cardio machines at the gym. Keep up the great content Marc
I highly recommend setting the playback speed to .25 to watch the final nuke :D
Marc you are my viewing for my daily morning coffee in my man cave garage, love the content, thanks mate
95 kills?!? I laughed so hard XD
speaking of sleeping scheds... i usually watch your vids at 3 to 6 am before going to sleep but now it's 5:40 pm and i borderline just woke up
could be a pro gamer but my apm is a double digit number and my iq is a negative one
absolutely enjoy your zerg series btw
Massive zerg army swarming on one ghost somewhat reminds me of Kerrigan 😅
Oh my god I just can't... this is so over the top awesome. 95 kill ghost legend as well. We should name him.
WOW! A Tarson medal for Marc! Never expected to actually see it.
Challenge. - HR wants to see you - Defeat your opponent with harassment only.
Poor bastard. The most painful game ever that last bloke.
uThermal you bstrd, you are THE BEST!
That last guy is gonna call out of work sick i guarantee it 🤣
@Uthermal before this episode ends please allow all units in bunkers with Neosteel Armor that's +2 armor and 6 infantry in one bunker for D
I really like this episode it's one that beastyqt never did before he switched games.
Maybe stretch it out longer?
Last game that zerg could have still play on, but guessed he was mentally defeated. The beauty of zerg is u can destroy half their army less than 6mins they are maxxed again.
I assume the last Ghost deserves definitelly a name... Lets call him... erm... Billy? :-D
First day being a ghost sent on a nuke mission, also become a Commander on the same day. ROFL
Hey Marc, Plz dont spoiler the best moment of the video at the start. Its like putting the plot twits into a trailer of a movie. Just a hint! Love your videos keep it up dude!
Have been watching all series since last August, and yes, agreed! Keep the secrets secret!! Otherwise love all of the content
Marc! You gave away the best part!!
Marc, i love the cheese games, but i would love to see some macro based challenges. I think what i would really like to see is Greed to GM. Just the most disgustingly greedy builds. I want to see 3 CC openers in the higher brackets!
I'm a morning while I drink my coffee or evening before bed watcher, depends on the day.
I think that worse than "losing my warmup game" is saying "I feel very strong today" then losing first two games in a row :D - never say that again at the start of a video, LOL
You my Boi Blue! Old Slayers_Boxer worshiper here to tell you well done for the SC community.
That teaser forced me to choose your video over a meeting. #worth
You know uThermal, the whole idea to become "un nydus able" would work a bit easier, and be more economical if you took my previous challenge in mind and just build command centers to orbitals there. Ironically i don't have issues with nydus only because theres like 5-6 orbitals in my main blocking everything.
watching from Texas, USA! keep showing them bugs the power of space-hicks!
That amount of energy left at the precise moment of impact
I'm here for the massive nuke. Didn't expect you make it as the intro 😂
That small teaser intro clip spoils a lot. The video headline should do the job well enough: "Nuke of the year" "You don't want to miss this nuke" "Most amazing nuke" and so on.
Another comment proposed to have a clip without the resulting hit, but I don't recommend it either. The result is obvious which also spoils.
❤
a good nuke, is good for the soul - Sun Tzu
Thermie's nukes are brighter than the Sun
I think the reason zergs make corruptors rather than mutas is because you already have shown a lot of widow mines and widow mines are just a huge pain in the rear when you play muta
Intro is damn hilarious!
I clicked because of the thumbnail, I'll believe it when I see it.
Edit: Hooooly the nukes today were absolutely out of this world
I know you've done some of this with nydus cheese and ultras... But I would love to see speedlings / ultras ONLY.... obviously max upgrades on both. Queens as needed, maybe one per hatch. Here we go! speedlings / ultra flood.... no nydus....
New challenge! Try to get 100 kills (or more) with a single ghost!
I do have a lot of trouble sleeping lately and was enjoying the 2am upload times here in California for a while :)
I love the highlight in the intro!
That last nuke was deplorable 😂
Those people who don't like the cheese, don't like joy in their lives.
Ify our bad at finding nukes and theres lots of ghosts... The proper solution for low apm players as zerg.
Lurkers and over seers on a 2/3 unit behind patrol...

Greatest hits collection of all the best nukes from this series? :D
If we ever match on ladder I'm floating my CC to force a draw. If you make vikings I'm declaring a moral victory.
I can’t wait to see what Marc comes up with for the new patch!! Hopefully these games start showing up soon.
Was in Original PAIN clan on COD Black ops
I was impressed by your game! Well done 👍 buddy!
Man, these Zergs looked very strong until nukes started to rain down on 'em
Marc went full Mensk on those players.
I feel for the last guy. What a way to start the weekend😢😂
Hi, watching all of your videos ❤ what do you think about a new balance patch?
You had me in the first 13 seconds. Terran is only OP in the right hands. #terranforever #uwu #sc2
Your videos are a daily comfort to me. Thank sir.
And for the record, I'm not interested in watching you try hard and win standard. I want moar cheese.
Hey Marc, I'm trying to reach you about your extended ghost cloak warranty.
I think the preview before intro is a good idea, keep working on it
2pm here in Peru 🇵🇪
without that gg to the ghost, it might have gotten to 100 kills lol
Hi Marc, can you change layout of your channel landing page to have the Upload playlist on top? I always have to switch to the Upload tab to view your latest video. I have too many people with notification on and it doesn't show your video sometimes.
Jesus CHRIST ! The most nukie episode EVER! Send it to harstem and pig
"Commander" ghost with 22 kills goes up to 95 kills and doesn't get a promotion? This needs to be patched!
War, war never changes
That was a savage nuke...
34:14 NERDGASM ALL OVER MYSELF 😂😂
Those nukes are disgusting and I love this content, please keep doing this!
In the warm-up game, could you delay the Mine shot by switching tagrets between 2 Lings when the thet were attacking SCV constructing the CC?
In your low ground wall game you could have lifted a building to kill that overlord off the pillar with out too much trouble I think.
How come there's creep on the stairs (where the 95-kill Ghost is standing :D that was sooo dirty btw!) at 33:55 but when you replay it at 34:00 the creep is gone? Has replay always worked that way & I just never noticed?
Nukes keep on getting kills it was so cool man.
this series is absolute insane!
Loved the intro
i feel like there are a lot of possibilities for random challenges
Can you make one raven & a few medivacs to protect your investments?
It's been years since I've played SC2, but I would be so confused if I got away with killing a cc and another finished cc immediately flys in at 6min..
