When you think about it, it is actually very polite to write "FUCK" in all caps when you opponent makes a good play. It is literally deliberately giving your opponent a compliment.
Day 1046 of Requesting Siege Units Only. Tanks, Liberators, Widow mines. I've been asking for it for so long I think we've gone thru like 2-3 widow mine challenges since, so I guess I'll give up on that dream. Hmmm, lets see, whats different and new....Mech drop to GM was fantastic, and something is telling me the Thor needs to be in this challenge...What about..."Raven/Thor to GM"?. It would be gas intensive but it certainly is doable. =)
Imagine being JimmyMicro: You keep losing to this beast of a Terran, despite him basically only building mines and battlecruisers, and you are getting really discouraged, and then you find these videos and discover that your opponent is Marc and he is constantly complimenting you on how you are getting into his head. Your funk immediately turns around, you discouragement turning into an impossible-to-contain smile.
It's interesting to hear your thoughts on Planetary to GM. It really was an interesting series. Even when it was expected, somehow, nobody expected it.
How about mini games in every challenge? - kill enemy units by collapsing rocks on them - sneak a worker into opponent’s main, mine minerals and return them after 10 mins - kill 5 of your own units in a fight before attacking enemy (only counts if they see you do it) - “hot key 8” land a dozen or so ccs among their buildings and mass PF + turrets
The Low Casualty Challenge - You can use any unit, but you have to minimize casualties. Explicitly, no suicide missions (throwing away a reaper for scouting or leaving the hellions to die with the workers). Unless the unit is robotic (like a widow mine), you have to try to evacuate, heal, and repair.
I'm still greatly enjoying your content despite never having played SC2 or having any idea how it controls, etc. I think you could probably play anything and I'd watch because of your infectious positive vibes, hype, and calming voice (And I'm American, so let's be honest, half of that is in the accent for me LOL! USA loves foreign accents for whatever reason). That being said, I have no ideas for challenges lol. Maybe go with units/builds that newbie players think are really good but they really aren't that good. But put your own spin on it to make it good (Or at least make it LOOK good, lol)
I know Marc's a terran guy but I really enjoyed proxy hatch. Any way he'd consider a zerg/ambush/burrow series? Similar to Cloaked to GM. Roach/Infestor/Lurker would be the mainstay, burrowed bane traps, hydra popups. A lot of freedom to vary strategies but still focused on a theme
Protoss proxy mothership rush to GM!!! build order: 1) pylon & gateway & cybercore at home 2) send a few units+probe across and shieldbatteries outside the enemy natural and pylon at enemy 3rd/4th base, upgrade warp gate 3) proxy stargate & nexus at enemy 3/4th base, build voidray/phoenix 4) fleet beacon at home, upgrade ur stargate unit (optional twilight council for zealot legs) 5) build mothership at the proxy nexus, mass voidray/phoenix and zealot warp ins to win game bonus points if your proxy nexus can battery overcharge the shield batteries outside the natural, on some maps you can pull it off!
for the next challenge: protoss stealth to gm. one mothership, cannons and probes are allowed, but everything else can only fight while invisible. detection, fungals and emps don't count. i suggest a few DTs for defense...
One of each unit allowed, 5 marines, and as many tanks, thors and technicians ( suvs for repairing said tanks and thors ) as you want. Slow but a steamroller
This roach build you mention early in the video -.-. So THATS what’s been killing me in diamond league! TONS of roaches walking in shortly after I take my third and killing me
Uthermal: Do you have any tips for having better unit control with complicated compositions and multiple spell casters ? Like ghost lib raven with bio tank? I’m always fumbling with my control and losing huge chunks of my army
The biggest tip I can give is to get your army hotkeys well planned out and actually have your units on those hotkeys. What I notice a lot is that people don't have their units ready on the hotkeys when they get attacked and then panic and everything goes wrong. I do have to say below pro level it's not really expected to control ghosts libs and ravens properly in a fight, it's very difficult. Try to have the liberators already set up before the fight, as soon as the fight starts you'll want to use the ghosts to snipe/emp and then you can start controlling your bio units. Trying to do all of this at once during the fight is just a recipe for disaster. I recommend to use at least 3 army hotkeys here.
I would love to see a Medivac + Thor only to grand master series. Love me some thor drops with scv repairs where the thor never dies and wrecks everything.
Hi uThermal, huge fan of your videos, keep up the good work! p.s I'm having trouble against terran mech balls(mainly Thor, Siege tank, Battlecruiser) on the ladder as protoss. how should I counter?(I'm in NA Gold league)
You can only build one depot, this would push your 5 cc setup to the next level. You could take advantage of all that scv production, making it look like you pulled all the boys 😂
I would love to see a retro challenge. Nickname: Starboy98 Only use original Starcraft units. Terran: marines, tanks, battlecruisers. Protoss: zealots, carriers, high templars and archons. (Optional stalkers without blink for dragoon substitute. Zerg: lings, hydras, mutas and ultralisks. Did I miss any unit?
first 90sec non-stop jimmymicro-bashing 😀 He made quite an impression... thermy, is there any chance you could organize a kind of special event with the channel all-time favorites? like Rocker, Jimmy, Harstem... ;-)
Thermy, in the spirit of truly being a ladder demon, would you consider Supply Deny to GM? Unit comp is up to you, but the overall strategy is to prioritize supply capping your opponent as often as possible. Gracias hermano!
I am currently playing in bronze as zerg… I am not very good, but I have a APM off 70 on average and 85 to 90 on a good day, but I am currently being beaten left and right from mass battlecruiser builds by Terence that can coast along at 42 55 actions per minute, I don’t even need to scout anymore because every Theron is doing the same build and this is frustrating because it is breaking the game for everyone who isn’t playing T TERAN BATTLECRUSER….. it might not be a big problem for more advanced players, but it is pure frustration for everyone else in bronze that is not playing TERAN BATTLECRUISER….!!!!! do you or anyone think that this will be fixed in the near future, either by nursing battlecruisers or boosting surge, static defence or something, because nothing will come through it, and even though I go straight into corrupters, they trade so poorly against battlecruisers and cost too much gas so I can only replace them a couple of times before the game is done GG GGGGGG 😢 it makes it so frustrating that I am losing to the same strategy from every TT V Z …. I hope there is hope in the future for some balance for the less sophisticated. Zerg… because now it’s currently no point playing on the ladder at all………!!!!! please somebody respond to this utterance of pure frustration…..! I even lose when I go up to 115 drones versus only 50 drones for the Teran mule…..!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 I was mining from for basis when he was moaning from two😂😂😂
Jelou uThermal love your work. Why always, or maybe always you "made" a fake upgrade building instead of construct directly the barraks???? thanks and regards!
You want The challenge: draw the game out, as long as humanly possible. Never allow the opponent to leave until all the resources are wiped. Any units, any tactics, allowed, simply cannot push the opponent to leave - harassment, exploiting every gap, pushing into the heart, all allowed. Simply cannot be lethal - drag out the cat and mouse as long as humanly possible. Call it "Bronc Bustin'".
Challenge suggestion: Double buildings. For every production and upgrade building you have (except cc) you need to have another inactive copy. so if you want to build a reaper, you must start 2 rax. If you want to do double upgrade, you need 4 ebays, and so on. It's probably too hard to play, but I'm just enjoying imagining the confusion of your opponents at seeing the entire map covered in useless buildings
