![2024 GSL Grand Finals [HIGHLIGHTS] - EPIC Protoss vs Terran Action! StarCraft 2 Highlights 2024](/img/n.gif)
Uthermal: I'm extremely unhappy, I'm the unhappiest I've ever been in a long time.
Uthermal 4 seconds later: Ok, I'm fine now.
love this
I support you 100% in slowing down the videos if that's what you feel you need bro. Do whats best for you. We appreciate you!
I just wanted to thank you for your content. 2023 was a very rough year. And your videos were always good energy and entertaining! Thank you
Second that 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Amen brother. Literally had days where hitting new years seemed unlikely. The amount of hours that Thermy provided me with an escape... Just can't say thank you enough.
I liked the pop up with your opponents name and rank. That’s some good production quality thermi.
don't burn yourself out. Do as much as you're comfortable with
yay, more Random games, maybe we'll FINALLY get some Terran
Protoss, Zerg, Protoss, Protoss Protoss Protoss 😭
Yea give the man his terrans 🥺
Don't let the losses to SpeCial bring you down. Keep the growth mindset coming and we are happy to watch you on your journey.
Hundred percent agreed
Use your strengths, Marc. Uncertainty, chaos, proxy nexus in his main. Keep your head up. Great sportsmanship
This shows up on top, spoiled the episode...
Spoiled for me too
Top comment spoiler, retarded UA-cam design to show hidden comments
I think slowing down is a great idea, more variety and freedom will be great.
I deeply appreciate that you're making good on that promise to go into tournaments with the mindset of being wacky and surprising. I don't even think the last two matches were that bad. You made a good defend both times; the only real issue is that you didn't pick a strong followup to it. That's really just your relative inexperience with Protoss. Give it a few more months of committing to random and you'll get a much better sense of it.
Hope the other projects you're working on turn out to be fun and let you re-energize some!
I don't need anything extra I just subbed because I watch a lot of your content and want to support what you already do :)
SAME TBH…Im happy for 3-4 videos a week and anything extra is like we’ve won the lottery lol
If you get Terran on Alcyone in a random game, a Bongcloud behind the mineral blockers could be a hilarious mindgame.
Thanks for a great year of videos, man. There's no shame in slowing down if you have to. I'm sure we'd all rather you posting a few high quality videos a week than burning out trying to push an unrealistic schedule.
Thanks for all of your videos, Its some of my favourite SC2 content on YT. Your commentary while you play and learn strats is super entertaining. Make as many videos as you have time to make and edit man, you have to get some time to live your life!
The work you've done on your Random has been such a joy to watch! We all get tilted sometimes, but I definitely dont turn it around as well as you always seem to. Keep up that spectacular attitude, were all with you, buddy!
Thermy, don't be so hard on yourself. Playing random is learning 9 freaking matchups compared to normal 3 matchups. I enjoyed watching your progress. Keep it up.
I think you do the right thing for 2024. Trust your feelings and take care of yourself ❤
As an outside observer I can see how knowing who you are going to play effects your games even before you play them. I haven't played since broodwar but your sc2 videos are really fun to watch and have been for a few months now. The games against Special were the same kind of thing that shook you in the 500k tourney as well.
brother all your videos are awesome and thank you sooooo much for the amazing content ! I appreciate it so much and it gave me hours and hours of enjoyment. I don't even play SC2 anymore but your upbeat and genius way to approach this game have made me smile so many times ! I don't care if there are going to be less videos, I'm gonna watch all of them for sure ! I have the utmost respect for your work ethic and the insane output but you need to be and stay happy so put yourself first
Aww Marc, yeah those games against Special were hard. Also This is a new experience as a random player, that is, getting a race you don't want to get. Right at the start of game 2 against Special you already had a defeated mind. You did lift yourself up for a great early game defence, watching you defend against those two Reapers and a Helion was great! But lifting yourself up again used so much energy. I think learning to play races you don't feel like playing is going to be a hard thing about playing random.
Thank you for being vulnerable and talking about how you really felt about those games. A lot of your fans, me included, can feel the same way when we loose games and seeing how you worked through it was really cool. I am really looking forward to seeing more of your games, and more tournament games as Random.
The reduced schedule makes total sense. Good to do it sustainably!
I have a suggestion which is to try a way more difficult challenge where you definitely can't make it to GM. And example could be "SCVs only to Diamond!". With turrets, planetaries and SCVs, you could probably win against bronze/silver/gold. Maybe more?! Can we find out?! For me, getting to see real games in the lower levels would be fun for variety, rather than having all the content at GM/pro level. Lower league players just provide a different type of entertainment for the viewer, and seeing how you handle such an insane challenge would be really cool.
Whenever Special shows up, I could just see you yelling: "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!"
😂😂😂😂 Right??!!
I‘m writing this before the games, i love that after the last tournament where you said you rather loos playing with your own style, the next tournament is played with random.
Also dont stress yourself, stay healthy and happy, that‘s the most important thing
Mate I was terrified when you said you're taking a step back because I love your videos, they're often my key to destressing after work and I've become very attached to your shenanigans. You're a wonderful human being though and we all want you to be happy and healthy so I'll happily take just a couple videos a week to ensure you're enjoying life. Best of luck with whatever you end up doing and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Random really feel like a strong fit for how you want to play. Looking forward to seeing how far you can push it.
Dude take whatever time off you need, I'm a programmer by trade and recently had to take 6 months off for my own mental health, and now I'm back at it.
GGs!
Always a pleasure watching, the content uploads rate has been madness. Enjoy yourself too!
Enjoy the holidays and Happy New Year
Good health to you and happy holidays! 💚
Glad to hear you’re making choices that are healthy for you!
Hey uThermal, Iam so impressed with how your mindset keeps pivoting. You learn lessons very well, and your ideas on where to go are top notch. Don't worry about getting tilted, because you have to have down days in order to have great days, its just part of the process. We appreciate you, no matter the win/loss ratio, and are with you on the journey. Onwards and upwards
Hope youre feeling better man! Glad for the new video!
Fewer videos makes sooo much sense, I can only imagine how much daily videos will burn you out. You mention coaching - perhaps you could post some coaching on YT as well from time to time? I always like those videos!
That could be really interesting.
Glad to hear you are taking a little step back! You deserve some rest, and glad you can focus on your other stuff.
Hey Thermy! I enjoy watching you play, and the energy you bring, win or lose. If anyone pressures you to put out more content than you feel you can keep up with, then they're not a real fan. Take care of yourself, dude. Do what you must to keep your head positive, your life good, and your love of the game strong.
Less videos is no problem, do what you want to do!
I enjoy these tournament vids and letting yourself be open (not confined to certain units with challenges). It's cool to see you play "seriously" and still commentate over it.
Good games!
"I am completely tilted" Marc says with a smile and light tone.
Dude, slowing down is 1000% fine. Many channels have a 1 vid a week (or less) schedule and that's fine, just do what you need to do, especially if it means new cool projects.
Personally, i can't keep up with watching all your content anyway. I sometimes have to skip vids, so less is probably a win for me!
Ps. Your ability to step back from a tilted situation and analyse it and recover your mood is awesome. It's not easy to move a mindset like that, i admire your ability to do it.
Love seeing these tournament runs! :)
Thank you for generating solid content and commentatory while playing a solid game. You bring joy to the SC & UA-cam community. Take care of your health in the new years.
Looking forward to seeing your merch mate 🤩 if it’s similar quality as your content I won’t be able to resist to buy a lot 🤣
it's official SpeCial has become your nemesis.. watching you play him hes like your kryptonite.. I believe in the redemption marc tho
Thanks for playing toss! I don't watch non toss so I'm glad to have someone else to watch occasionally!
Enjoy watching your videos period mate - thanks for making them. Haste luego amigo!
Very happy to hear you’ll be slowing down the content, we’d hate for you to get burned out and just want you to do whatever feels best 😊
Plus, less videos means I can finally catch up on other SC2 content creators
Take the time you need bro, any and all videos are epic as always 😎
I really enjoyed watching your second pvp game. That micro with the pheanixes and stalkers was so much fun to watch.
That SpeCial guy sure is something special. Played you just like when you played others hahahxD I do feel very annoyed seeing him harrasing you around like a fiddle, but well, victory'll never be sweet if you don't have losses like these.
Keep up the good work Thermy, you'll have your win some other times!
So excited for the merch and new projects! :)
You are doing an awesome job! You are my favourite channel for over a year now, you are the best dutch syarcraft streamer I have seen. Fun, informative and always looking at the bright side of live xD
Love the content my man keep you head up, we all love you
You've quickly become my favourite youtube uploader, and I don't even play SC2. Support you in doing what's best for you!
Special is to uthermal what uthermal is to thrivingGG.
Top 8 is pretty good! Shame about random giving you mostly Protos, would have been cool to see a bit more variety, but that's hardly your fault.
I'm glad you are scaling back on the daily videos as I'd rather you keep doing what you are doing and enjoying it rather than burn out.
Happy holidays everyone:)
Hey Thermy.
Since you have so many builds to worry about when playing random, why not write down your builds on a little sheet.
You can also write down some variations. So if your opponent does X you do Y. That sort of thing.
That way you're ready.
I know you can do it. I believe in you. You're the best.
Thank goodness lol. I might finally be and to catch up! I think I'm like 3 weeks behind at this point (skipped ahead to this video to hear the announcement)
I got a feeling that this next era of uthermal is gonna be better than ever. Seeing you optimize your own workflow is just as satisfying as watching you have such crazy games
i love your videos a lot, i was hoping you'd say you'd do 3-4 videos a day :(
i understand.
looking forward to what you have instore for us in 2024
Just look around, other channel also upload SC2 videos
love to hear about the transition
Not a starcraft player, but have been enjoying your daily uploads for about 6 months now during my lunch break. Going to miss the content but also understand priorities. Thank you for all you do, and will continue to be a uthermal main. Gl hf
Love your videos, I only ever played SC2 singleplayer. keep it up its great!!
Thanks for the amazing content, Marc! Any chance you could upload your Twitch sessions to your second channel? …or maybe you’re cutting that out too.
Anyway, you’re the only channel I watch everyday. Thank you! 🙏🏽
No worries how many videos you make. Thanks for the content and be healthy and happy.
Really appreciate all your content man. Take care of yourself first.
As a content creator myself, I totally understand the need to step back a bit. Take whatever time you need
Do what's best for you man!
The trick is to still record daily videos, but change the upload frequency to 2-3 per week 💡 Then take any days you want off and just pull from the queue.
hey ggs! I thought I heard you were in Mexico from someone at DH Atlanta. Sick mind games.
I get a serious dopamine hit when i see you uploaded a video. I absolutely love the content. Its soooo good.
Dude, im so glad ur pulling back on the videos. Hour long vid every day is a lot for us to watch too.
3 days a week would be great man.
and then every now and then a really cool one off games if u feel like it
Was nice to see you play someone at your level I know you did not enjoy the games against special but it was good to see how a top player makes your life so much harder.
Love this maximum. You go bro
However you play next tournament, just focus on having fun! That's what we're all here for :)
Sucks we won’t get every day video but you need your time we will be here to watch when they come out!
Marc, we are going to miss the videos, pero necestas cuidarte viejo, para que nos des muchos años mas de contenido.. gracias por el esfuerzo que haces para entretenernos.
you should do a community contest to design uthermal merch
GG uThermal, playing random is so freaking hard. Looking forward for new content on next year.
Thanks for the fun and keep enjoying yourself. ^^
Never even played starcraft.. I have been enjoying your videos for a year now. THANK YOU!
You brighten my day friend 😄
i love watching you play against players who are good like you
dang special has got your number!
you are a wonderful player and human, ty for these.
Enjoy the rest of your year Marc / uThermal.
Random pro player! Instant subscribe. Also, 3 videos per week is great!
I don’t even play StarCraft but love watching you! Your content is amazing!
GSL portrait style boxing stance FTW
Take it easy, man. We’ll still be here!
Good stuff chief
It's a pleasure to see reincarnation of the JungleBalls
@ 13:50 when you mention reading the tool tips, how does this one show what race you are? Thanks! You rock!
It doesn't :P it's only race specific sometimes
I haven't played Starcraft in 20 years but I love watching your videos.
Welcome back Marc. Did u saw the Clem vs serral matching?
huge plays with the pheonix!
SpeCial really is your arch-nemesis huh. Take all the time you need, I'm enjoying every bit of content you put out.
While you move away from daily uploads, I will have to develop a new addiction... Thanks for the videos Mark!
Dude, your videos are so good, I’m about to call you McDonald’s because I’m loving it !
I'm from Chile, so being Latinamerican I always root for Juanito in tournaments, but when he was against you, I was really hoping you could beat him :D. Maybe is the underdog thing, but I will always root for you no matter what marc! hope you get to win one :) good luck!!
Damn, SpeCial's becoming your nemesis lol
Great video thanks.
Creep spread brooooooooooooo hahahhaha that second game lol
u da goat thermy. would forsure purchase some merch were you to sell it.
