My interest in this game has been forever lost to the newer and better BAR game! But I still enjoy all the unorthodox strategies that only Uthermal does!!
Seems like Jumy woke up in the last game, the defense was on point. Any non-pro would've folded probably to that double/tripple pronged harassment, but that was approving-headnod-impressive.
I know I may be shouting into the void, but I just want to shout out your entertaining qualities. I have never played sc2 in my life, I dont even know what a gold base is but I love watching a lot of your videos.
he noticed your shout into the void ;) Gold base = faster mining than 'regular' base. But you're right, the intricacies of a game, anything reallly, don't matter much when the streamer keeps you entertained with his character. Reminds me of history teachers...
I am not sure if Marc knows but Dutch cheese here in America is highly enjoyed import. Marcs videos are his way of assisting with the export of Hollands finest cheeses.
I have a theory that the crazier the strat that uthermal does, the better he will generally do. As random somewhat encourages him to do something crazy, random might legitimately be his best race.
Lots of fun to watch as your content always is. I really enjoy when you play against other players who cast an hearing their side of things. I’m always hoping to hear from the opponents about their impressions of the experience. Maybe through messages or maybe they would like to add a few words after that could be included to expand the totality of the show. Or maybe I’m just babbling.
You’re the best Thermy. Love ya buddy ❤️. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now and saw you playing and commentating prob almost 10 years ago it seems not sure if it’s been that long but I think so lol time flies. Thanks for being such a good guy bud me and a lot of people appreciate you dude 🫡
need to expand faster with z imho it allows fewer drones per mineral line and more production making macro easier, (you can bank a bit) transition in larger production cycles, buying more time to micro, I mean, with z you are always 5000 apm behind.
Still hoping to see "Gold Base to GM" where your first expansion MUST be in a gold mineral/purple vespene base if the map has one. Better yet, you have to take ALL such bases before even taking your natural.
Let's be real, this challenge is great practice for the upcoming tournament. Marc is looking strong. In the last game, I don't know why Marc didn't spare a little APM to expand while the opponent was on the back foot. He ended up with a base trade on an even number of bases... The recall by the opponent sealed the win for him.
been loving your content. Love that you prefer to have fun playing the game rather than just doing the same meta build every game. keep up the good work :)
@@Levm17 He is the first Protoss on Aligulac though, and his track record against Harstem in pro play is really good (won the last 22 games since 2021)
I thought the last game would be in the bag if you had creep spread connecting your bases. Your zerg is always the most fun to watch, but also the most painful.
I really want to see a baneling drop mind game, drop hydras and lings then the opponent groups his units under your overlords, then bam, baneling drop this time
Noob here, but I just had an idea. What if you use a barracks for vision, but you also land it in enemy base and bait dps away from your Marines by churning out more Marines. They might prioritize the barracks, which you can cancel production and fly away, land, repeat. Can bring scv's for repair, or even drop mules. Could even have 2 barracks that alternate repairing in a safe landing zone nearby.
overmind/kerrigan don't like this. Larvae is supposed to be daft. Making workers/drones powerful is a similar mistake. Try making them do work ;) Kerrigan specifically should be very aware, since she toplled the entire zerg structure by being too powerful -.- 'You dare threaten a cerebrate?!...'.
That first game looks like what happened to me on my first game on the ladder (except that I lasted even less long and had no idea what was happening hahah)
You say a ling drop strategy will never beat a pro player, but I saw a Winter cast the other day of Harstem vs. a very clever Zerg player who did ling drops to poor Harstem and won in a tournament match Probably triggered Harstem's uThermal PTSD lmao
uThermal, being the good guy he is and subconsciously miss-shift-clicking to give Jummy the win. Anyone can play sober but try to play against shinanigans when you are hungover :D
Don't forget to triple check your hotkeys/rapidfire for the tournament, that would be so tragic 😄😄 I feel bad for the guy, especially if he's also training since I believe Random in not even allowed ? I might be wrong tho 😅 But to be fair he did made a lot of small mistakes (for his mmr) the first games tho, and there is no shame to aknowledge that. GG to him for the mental strength and the last one was a really nice game.
@@laurelkeeper"Random" is basically treated like a fourth faction, so yes, it's almost universally allowed. Also, a few pros do (or at least did) officially declare their faction as such, but they're rare and none have made it to the upper ranks, at least not without switching to single-faction play first (IIRC, Reynor began his career as random). Being unable to focus one's practice on perfecting play with a single race is just too much of a disadvantage. Having said that, though, Reynor's Protoss is almost as good as his Zerg, and I've heard Maru has been one of the top Protosses on the Korean ladder, I think in a Lowko cast of a 2v2 tournament where Maru played Protoss. He's certainly good enough that he could play Protoss professionally, but he's definitely much better at playing Terran.
I feel extra dumb even asking this, but when I build something I select the building from a hotkey, and then I shift click for the worker to go back to what they were doing previously, obviously, I don't need to do that. So what precisely am I doing wrong to just be able to build something willy nilly without worrying about followup? Are you clicking the minimap? Is there a button to say "just do this"?
i think pro players, and marc as well, sometimes dont shift click back the workers to the mineral as they can serve as reminders when they finish building. They can then just click the ctrl + idle worker button to select all idle workers and right click them to minerals or make them do other jobs. This saves them the hassle of clicking mining workers to build. The awareness needed for this to work while doing all kinds of micro and macro is obviously hard but then again they're the pros.
What do you do ZvT into 1/1/1 double reactor? i just got cheesed by a 1base Terran. I was thinking he was going mech harass into MM, but he went mech harass into liberator waves, 2@4:30m, then 2+2 more. i handled the first two, but couldnt kill or mine around the next 4.
In the fourth game would corruptor work instead of roach? He didn't have a lot of stalkers, mainly adept, and I feel like the corruptor vomit shenanigans on his nexus would have been clutch in that low eco situation.
Honestly, I think you could've won the last game if you expanded more, made upgrades and mixed in zerglings with your army in the latter half. Because of constant pressure, drops and 3 previous games you made your opponent overly defensive, which made the drops less effective and expanding easier. With more bases you could afford upgrades without sacrificing army. With lings you could've killed the disruptors whenever he moved out.
I've got two weird ideas for you to consider. 1: Mass expendables. as in Marines and raven auto turrets for Terran. zerglings and swarm hosts/broodlords for Zerg and zealots or adepts and carriers for Protos. 2: And this is more of a concept for warfare. No unit limitations. Any Race. The challenge would be to be non aggressive and defensive while playing something of a city sim where the goal is to take the entire map and yield nothing but never really attack. Just push forward your bases and defend them like, this land is mine, you can't be here...... oh sorry.... I have a permit to take your natural because I own everything else.
Your content reignited my interest for SC, which had died off over the years. Keep up the good work and good luck with the upcoming tournament!
I just wanted to write the same. 😅😂🎉
One of the best

Gold base = faster mining than 'regular' base.
But you're right, the intricacies of a game, anything reallly, don't matter much when the streamer keeps you entertained with his character.
Reminds me of history teachers...
What made you watch SC videos in the first place?
When it's 12:59 EST and you keep refreshing your YT feed to find uThermal's game of the day.
It is not the first one of the feed? Beginner.
so i'm no the only one.
Question for the guys here, how many of you are waiting every day for the new video to be posted?
Stoaked to be here, I think you were right in your intro on 1st episode, this is what your channel has been building up to.
Super stoaked
@@crispycrimps865lol shut up ! I see what you guys are stoaked on
uThermal is crazy fast. I have trouble even recognizing what is on the screen on his fast switches. Excellent narration too, well done.
Thank God he won that last game, otherwise I think it he would have thrown his computer through the window!
He supposed to play on a potato
I am not sure if Marc knows but Dutch cheese here in America is highly enjoyed import. Marcs videos are his way of assisting with the export of Hollands finest cheeses.
I have a theory that the crazier the strat that uthermal does, the better he will generally do. As random somewhat encourages him to do something crazy, random might legitimately be his best race.
Killed his own stalker at 22:48 oof
The first match was a Very "Brutiful" game, Marc. Hahaha, cheers buddy.

8:22 imagine the alert was something important like a nuclear launch detected.
8:20 had the same when I was grabbing lunch in the busy canteen. like 15 phones went off blasting in a small space.
“You know what second is, don’t you son?”
“Yessir, first loser”
21:26 Wow, he's sending a marine to escort that hero SCV on his mission to build scout barracks on enemy territory!
21:29 Oh....
Glad to see the content, keep it up uThermal!

5:17 But that was indeed brutiful! You said it correctly in that situation)
English teacher here and I really like this new word. It is like "hangry". Works well.
Tough day for this pro for sure. x)
Thanks for the fun and the cheese! ^^

MaxPax is best P in the world?
Wow, thats crazy. I still remember the stream where he got "discovered" by beasty....
Maxpax is #43 in worldwide ranking @uthermal showtime, harstem and stats are way higher
@@Levm17 He is the first Protoss on Aligulac though, and his track record against Harstem in pro play is really good (won the last 22 games since 2021)
You haven't watched starcraft in a while.@@Levm17
Very nice of you to go easy in him for the last game.
Tons of OL and missclick droppilords 😅
I thought the last game would be in the bag if you had creep spread connecting your bases. Your zerg is always the most fun to watch, but also the most painful.
He plays Zerg like a Terran. No creep and drops constantly, lol

Today I had a strange dream:
When you play as a Zerg and do Lair the larva actually gains the ability to bite enemies that get too close to them 😂
watching too many late night sc2 videos lmao
overmind/kerrigan don't like this. Larvae is supposed to be daft. Making workers/drones powerful is a similar mistake. Try making them do work ;)
Kerrigan specifically should be very aware, since she toplled the entire zerg structure by being too powerful -.-
'You dare threaten a cerebrate?!...'.
I don't think I have missed any of your videos for over a year, sprays ftw!
I love how in the second game your opponent had the Zealot hold position in the wall but.... didn't build the wall
Best sprays are the balloons or STOP sign, they hide the red dot from nukes
I really like the way uThermal handled the other player. He was joking and it was funny and yet he wasn't being mean and stayed kind instead :)
That first game looks like what happened to me on my first game on the ladder (except that I lasted even less long and had no idea what was happening hahah)
You say a ling drop strategy will never beat a pro player, but I saw a Winter cast the other day of Harstem vs. a very clever Zerg player who did ling drops to poor Harstem and won in a tournament match
Probably triggered Harstem's uThermal PTSD lmao
I love your channel. Such positivity. Keep it up!
no don't troll jumjum ahaha you're sooo nice.. I think the second place spray should be dedicated to bm'ers and salty bois
25:05 - I swear that guy's problem was only scouting and not reacting to the obvious cheese. Kept teching when he should've been countering
“I feel like doing even crazier stuff”, expect a series called “SCV and MULE to grandmaster”
earliest ive been to a uThermal vid, Nice!
uThermal, being the good guy he is and subconsciously miss-shift-clicking to give Jummy the win. Anyone can play sober but try to play against shinanigans when you are hungover :D
Had to pause the video to LOL at the spray. If we can't get corruptor spray, I'll take worker spray 😂
40:45 My bro, you F2'd the dropperlords back to your army as soon as you positioned them ready to go in :(
I watch you because you are always so happy to play

@@irrelevantfish1978 Thank you for your insight !
Getting to where your opponent shows mmr is when you know you’re good lol
Taking the gold base seems to be great for both the money and the forward position on the map.... crazy games.
Would have been interesting to see you research / use burrow at the end of the last game!

Hello, just wanated to wish you my best for the new series, looking forward to it
uThermal has discovered a silencer for nydus work play lol
That first game was BRUTIFUL
By the 3rd game in a row, i could only imagine the tilt factor Jimy could have had....sobered him up it seems.
that poor guy xd, i a m so happy he did manage to win the last game :D
ProTech has been playing "Random" ever since SC1. I always said the best players should play all three races to fully understand the game.
The drops you did in that final game were insane. I think if your economy/macro were better you def would have won that
"i dont want to win like this" loool
I'm a simple man.
I see a thermie video, and I click.
simp
Game #1 looks like a guy coming back from a long break lol
I love how Thermy always uses "we"... really gives us all undue credit, but it feels good 😅
You need to use the Red Dot spray.
You needed another base, and you needed tech upgrade.
What do you do ZvT into 1/1/1 double reactor? i just got cheesed by a 1base Terran. I was thinking he was going mech harass into MM, but he went mech harass into liberator waves, 2@4:30m, then 2+2 more. i handled the first two, but couldnt kill or mine around the next 4.
8:20 NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED

I think I watch *MOST* of your content, and this was the first time I heard the MMR thing.
I think in that first game the battery was out of range from the nexus
Marc. you are truly great! I'm deeply grateful to your parents for bringing you to this world.
Where to watch this night qualifiers?
I love the sprays!
I'm like 3163 mmr lol. He would watch at me playing and probably would laugh his life out lol
+305 MMR is CRAZY
Evening tea is complete
Poor hungover jumy lol
I did like your new English word brutyful :D
More bases I think with last round.
Could you please share your hotkeys or recommend a video? Is it the same as your old hotkey video :( (terran)
I'm thinking UThermal triggered MaxPax with that spray so now MaxPax is #1
Yo i m subscribed since 6k subscribers
Good games, thermy!

Recorded on Monday 4th December at 12:00. Not that early, Thermy, not that early in the day ;)

(Got you with the test alert if you wonder)
Does make me wonder why I was so late that day haha

its amazing what thermy can do with zerg.
"How to see MMR? Get gud"
Why does he always bring up an engi bay before placing a barracks?
It's cheaper than barracks, so he gets the mouse in the right position using ebay, then swaps to barracks when he can afford to place it
I wonder how many players uninstalled sc2 after playing marc
Who was the pro then? ForJumY? Who dat?
I believe so, Marc said he beat Showtime in Homestory cup
Isn't "2nd place medal" spray bm?
Thermy only giving a GG and not a GGWP is his version of bm
Not everyone watches every video.....Yes but a lot of us watch every video!
Don't forget to spread the Creep, bro!
poor jumjum :(
Brutiful game!
I guess many people here would love to get some replays, what do you think, Thermal?
Love the name
Hey Thermy keep practicing for Katowice 😡😡😡
pure love!
Go go cheese!
