Despite what you'd expect of covert ops agents, this series feels so direct and aggressive, just bashing people to death with a unit they weren't expecting en masse. It's extremely invigorating to watch you apply such a simple conceptual strategy with such amazing execution, varying up your approaches, showing how versatile the ghost can be.
Every challenge we discover something absolutely beautiful. Bongcloud mirror match, viking mineral harass and now ghosts sniping early roach. It's amazing.
I love it. Watching the interesting builds and strategies in the lower MMR ranges is fun and all. I can't wait for you to get to 5,5k range to see how those games will unfold. I used to ghost rush protoss and zerg when I used to play before my daughter was born. Now I just don't have the time to practice and play ladder. If you rush cloak and get 2 ghosts out across the map you can usually smash their eco. If you synchronize the 2 ghost's shots you can 1 shot drones before they regen the 1 hp. If protoss doesn't go robo first it's gg because you can just avoid any cannons they build in response and easily drop their probe count to single digitsif not 0 outright. I am definitely not anywhere near as good obviously. In my casual playing I have only ever been in platinum, but definitely a strategy to use if you want to cheese a game or 2. Proxying the ghost academy against zerg is also hilarious, because if they fly an overlord to scout they will have no idea.
so glad i found ur channel very entertaining and educational. love ur format and presentation style. keep it coming. really enjoyed this ghost nuke episode too
Just watched your games on Nation wars. Very good job!!! You and Harstem made very cool games and strategies! ---- for the triple nukes on zerg was really rect :) very cool!
It might not be woth the money, but maybe you can consider the building armour/buillding space upgrade, makes your bunkers better, since you need to rely on them to defend so much. Maybe even the PF range upgrade -- although if you have money for that you're probably better off just starting 1/1
I've never seen ultras win a game, I came up with a few ideas how they should improve them, 1. have no collision with zerglings, and protect them while zerglings are under them, that would make them much more powerful 2. give them an aura, when nearby enemies are in it, they can be slowed or stunned when hit
i have question, does when the "you are under attack" alarm go up, any alarm after that is cancel? what happen if you sneak a ghost behind their base, another ghost to shoot and bait and trigger the alarm, then quickly fire the nuke, does the nuclear launch detected alarm still play for the enemy?
You can lift your natural cc for a moment to get vision on the overlord pillars, you only lose a few seconds of mining but you deny their vision for many minutes.
Try to find a way to put the live comentary section on the screen if possible, like beastyqt does on his channel so we can see the chat reaction to what is going as well. It helps to make the streaming feel more alive. Great content, thanks.
@ 4:07 **edited the time*** yes it is starcraft art, it is why i watch this. i play csgo, i dont even play sc i still watch you own these people with your baboon tactics - dbl edit - ex-brood war player
Lovely. Just lovely. As a very low level player (silver).... I just enjoy your cheeses.... I am also terran... I hate zerg, and this was just pure pwning of zerg... I luv ur videos and cheeses! Cheers ,
You should delay the 3rd nuke for a bit so you can kill the workers inside the harvesters (probably) and the enemy could move some units there thinking the nuke is done but there's another
Fund Raising suggestion: usually Amazon or some other site will create T-shirts, jackets, etc. for people as vanity gear. This can be done as UA-cam extra cash fillers. FalconPaladin (UA-cam and Twitch SC1 & SC2 caster) does this. This might be a way to earn extra money. Fans would likely want to have uThermal T-shirts and such.
I was thinking of trying early ghosts against toss as well, but I thought that stalkers would demolish ghosts. Turns out if you have good APM they actually trade pretty well.
Wondering this too, I went at 0.25 speed once and he seems to be making little circles over their groups of units.. But no clue how he only snipes things once and doesn't accidental over sniper?
Hey I tested with a friend a while back, and the nuclear launch detected alert has a delay of about 1.5 seconds or something. So I like to imagine starting 4 nukes in different locations but only 1 alert, and an opponent only catching one of them and thinking they're safe. It would be cool to see you try 3 or 4 simultaneous nukes to see the response.
When I watch these pros it's a dramatically different experience for me. These guys are sitting so calmly at 5 minutes in and 10 minutes. The enemy dosent really bother them. Then they walk over and do their thing. For me!!! 4-5 minutes in the game I'm getting attacked, harassed constantly, and and it stays like that without a pause until the end of the match. It's not a league thing either. It's the same thing on the bronze to GM series. Super calm passive opponents. I swear that doesn't exist for me. oh and every time I win, I get whispered and accused of hacking or told to go f myself in some way.
I think this is the application of game knowledge and build optimisation when pro players play. I watch harstem a lot and he often accurately predicts the things that the opponent is doing while playing because he has a very good understanding of build timing. As mentioned in the Art of War, 'If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger'. I think very often us lower league players are afraid because we don't know what the opponent is doing or is capable of doing. I find that when you can identify things like the direction of their tech choices and the amount of army that can be supported on x eco, it really allows you to play more confidently. I guess it also helps that these players have 10 years of muscle memory and outclass 99.9% of the ladder in APM :P
Yeah the lower leagues are more toxic and immature honestly. I'm toss, and every once in a while I'll cannon rush, and people will get so upset and angry
You'll see it called "rapid fire (hotkey)". Go to Hotkeys > Global > Unit management > Choose Ability or A.I. Target and add a key of your liking to it. Iirc it works like this: Press ability button -> hold shift -> hold down rapid fire key (the one you just set before) -> ??? -> Profit Works for quickly warping in a unit en masse if you give it the rapid fire key as well. If you want maximum effectiveness, in windows you can set the keyboard repeat delay to the shortest, and repeat rate to the fastest. Hope this helps.

As a terran i can say, seeing a protoss lose tô the invisible Man feels so good
Amen haha

LOVE it. Keen to see the ghost strats evolve. Triple EMP > triple nuke Nexuses!

This is my favourite so far of your series, please more of this! Especially the economic attacks with nukes
so glad i found ur channel very entertaining and educational. love ur format and presentation style. keep it coming. really enjoyed this ghost nuke episode too
Hey Thermy, started watching your videos about a month ago, this is the dankest move I've seen yet, keep em coming man!
Just watched your games on Nation wars. Very good job!!! You and Harstem made very cool games and strategies!
----
for the triple nukes on zerg was really rect :) very cool!
Your viewer engagement thermy is always as entertaining. good job keep it up.
That was probably one of the most satisfying episodes I had xD
It’s become part of my day now, as soon as I finish work, I kick back eat dinner & watch your next video. I really appreciate the daily uploads !!!
I love you thermy! Okay back to the video...
Just realized your name is Casper and you're making ghosts 🤣
CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST!
"This looks terrifying, but it's not... because this."
That's good fuckin' content right there.

Uthermal vs Serral on 2k atmospheres, is a recent game of Ultras winning.
Just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I love your daily videos. Watching you is already part of my routine!
This series is beautiful ! :D
as real nuclear explosions are
i have question, does when the "you are under attack" alarm go up, any alarm after that is cancel? what happen if you sneak a ghost behind their base, another ghost to shoot and bait and trigger the alarm, then quickly fire the nuke, does the nuclear launch detected alarm still play for the enemy?
I'm from hk and I look forward to these videos from u every night my time recently :)
Amazing. You are StarCraft.
Ghost are amazing!!!
I'm enjoying a lot this series and playing ghost vs zergs, it's so good.
7:50 Uber vs. Casper, haha. Two Silicon Valley companies.
Ghost to GM is the best playlist on youtube!!
Those Ultralisks getting swagged on is just pure Art
best starcraft series on youtube, best starcraft youtuber
For any civ players out there: uThermal is just embracing his inner Gandhi :)
Very democratic of him.
Ultralisks versus ghosts is the common sense aproach. To see what the idea is look at the same matchup in real scale.
LMAO i love this series is so funny xd
Awesome idea for the series!
the roach sniping is delicious not gonna lie
8:35 you've just wrote a pentagram with that SCV move bro :D
This is the best series. You ain't getting to GM with just Ghosts though. Gonna need to at least add tanks and a couple vikings to get out of masters.
Ghost + marauders could also be an "upgrade" against tougher P opponents.
love your videos... U once mentioned recording an anti cannon rush video... would still be very thankful about that :D
This series is lit af
this series is the best man, way to go thermy :)
You can lift your natural cc for a moment to get vision on the overlord pillars, you only lose a few seconds of mining but you deny their vision for many minutes.
Wat
The mmr counter was pretty cool
As it is going to get harder you should be able to spend your minerals adding hellions/hellbats. Those heroes deserve the penguin backup!
There is nothing better than Ghost snipes. Oh wait yes there is, Ghost nukes.
22:31 sees all ghost army, makes....ultras? wtaf
Dude was probably trying to counter the planetaries lol
It is insane just how much of a utility unit the Ghost is.
I am just waiting for someone else to go mass BC/Raven and slaughter them.
Well we have Mass Raven now.
quality content 10/10 would watch again
Try to find a way to put the live comentary section on the screen if possible, like beastyqt does on his channel so we can see the chat reaction to what is going as well. It helps to make the streaming feel more alive. Great content, thanks.
These episodes aren't streamed, this is exclusive YT content :)
@ 4:07 **edited the time*** yes it is starcraft art, it is why i watch this. i play csgo, i dont even play sc i still watch you own these people with your baboon tactics - dbl edit - ex-brood war player
The zerg game was nauseous for me. Really scary game
(4:40)
"I'll make my third CC first..."
Snipe is so satisfying indeed.
Lovely. Just lovely. As a very low level player (silver).... I just enjoy your cheeses.... I am also terran... I hate zerg, and this was just pure pwning of zerg... I luv ur videos and cheeses! Cheers ,
The nukes are just so stupidly satisfying 😂
the nukes killing everything is so satisfying 😇
You should delay the 3rd nuke for a bit so you can kill the workers inside the harvesters (probably) and the enemy could move some units there thinking the nuke is done but there's another
this was amazing to watch LOL
Great series
That was awesome!
Fast armor and fast medivac can stretch mass ghost into late game pretty decently with good micro.
Supported by mass hellbats. Medivac + hellbat + ghost crushes most non-caster armies.
Fund Raising suggestion: usually Amazon or some other site will create T-shirts, jackets, etc. for people as vanity gear. This can be done as UA-cam extra cash fillers. FalconPaladin (UA-cam and Twitch SC1 & SC2 caster) does this. This might be a way to earn extra money. Fans would likely want to have uThermal T-shirts and such.
20:10 Ikr? Terran should be able to upgrade planetaries again so they can fly that would be sick. Like a big, slow, fat BC/mothership hybrid.
Thak you for your video!
Every ghost dying stings they cost so much.
We love you man!!!
7:11 XD Wow!!!
I was thinking of trying early ghosts against toss as well, but I thought that stalkers would demolish ghosts. Turns out if you have good APM they actually trade pretty well.
+Jeremiah Ye No they're terrible vs stalkers he's just outmassing the noob and picking his engagements
How can you snipe so fast? It's insane.. or am I missing sth?
Wondering this too, I went at 0.25 speed once and he seems to be making little circles over their groups of units.. But no clue how he only snipes things once and doesn't accidental over sniper?
It seems like it's just practice and reflexes, but it's still insane to see in practice
@@Ahrpigi It's called rapid fire. It's basically a hotkey setup thing. Marc explains it briefly in one of his uploads.
sniping all those ultras, yeeeeeeesh!
Thanks!

I enjoy doing this exact thing. 😆👌🏼
Beasty hears uThermal has a nukes series.
He looks down from the clouds to watch it.
He smiles.

probably because you are playing some greedy stuff if that happens constantly, you should check your build orders
For me I’m always too afraid to even get a third base, because if I move out BOOM I get killed by their 201 supply army
Yeah the lower leagues are more toxic and immature honestly. I'm toss, and every once in a while I'll cannon rush, and people will get so upset and angry
I'd like to see Banshee Ghost only to grand master. Your competition hasn't ever done that. It'd be interesting
You've gotta play this style against Solar sometime
+Amythyst he will get swarmed and steamrolled vs pro level zerg its absolutely impossible
What do you do with the ghost build when opponent goes into zergline banes ?
Your so fast with the sniper targeting...
Another banger!
The thing he saw on the mini-map, it wasn't red... and it just moved straight into his defenses with no blood leftover.... what the hell was it?
i love this. ghosts are sooo cool.
How did you snipe all the ravengers so fast at 7:15? :D Awesome video as usual btw 😃
You'll see it called "rapid fire (hotkey)".
Go to Hotkeys > Global > Unit management > Choose Ability or A.I. Target and add a key of your liking to it.
Iirc it works like this: Press ability button -> hold shift -> hold down rapid fire key (the one you just set before) -> ??? -> Profit
Works for quickly warping in a unit en masse if you give it the rapid fire key as well.
If you want maximum effectiveness, in windows you can set the keyboard repeat delay to the shortest, and repeat rate to the fastest.
Hope this helps.
@@laszlogasd Thanks for explaining! :D
I think with this, harstem's IODIS show are going to be full of people complaining about ghost being IMBA LOL
what about mixing it up with mines?
25 command centers?! That's a really decentralized command...
correct. 25, not more, not less
winning by attrition not winning by submission...
Thanks
My first super :D yay
Madness
epic ghost series..
Roach goes POP!
Ghost and battlecruiser build please.
How can i have black base?
I have a question , because i am playing zergs are there any zerg youtubers that do the same type of contend ?
I don't think so :( sry
oh ok thanks , keep up the amazing contend loving it
Not enough salt yet. Everybody hates "find the red dot" minigame. Specially is you like red color as camo.
I think we need 4 scvs per gas for extra gas income.
that was painful to watch. lol. gj as always
Sniping zerg units really is funny.
Emp is so powerful against protoss :)
INVISIBLE MEN
What a god
Should try CC first
GG
hmm... penguin brothers... I love you but I've recently met someone else.
They have no chance 😅
