This can’t be said enough, thanks for bringing me back to SC2 and making me absolutely love it because of your videos. That despite me not being very good
One thing I believe you should consider taking advantage of is the overlord's generate creep ability. When you transport queens with a nydus you'll usually have an overlord nearby, use that overlord to dump creep on them so they can transfuse, even just long enough to place a tumor in their base. :3 You can also do other cheeky things like building proxy spines without a hatch, delaying expansions since it takes 45 seconds for that creep to fully dissipate, or dropping a queen with it to place a creep tumor at these expansions that vs terran they'll have to spend a scan or tech to a raven to be able to take. Edit: or use it to hide tech buildings by placing them away from your bases.
@@soulofshukaku Marc's strength is micromanaging fighters. I'd be hard pressed to say there's many others than top tier players that can match him. But managing base stuff, especially overlords, creep, etc...not so much. But he's great at managing workers of every race, he just needs to extend that to Zerg.
that shadow of the mule at 17:40 because there was an overlord in the natural that had vision on the mineral line. Haven't seen that from so far away before
Absolutely loving your content. The cheese ones are by far my favourite, however it's also enjoyable to watch you transition from cheese into macro games so fluently.
I like how in each video, the titles get more and more certain that THIS is the most disgusting cheese ever, lol. Also, whenever I hear you say ""Maybe he's not paying attention", I instantly become glued to the screen to see what you're about to pull off! XD It has "last thing you hear before you die" energy
I know it has already had it's own time to shine in other series, but that doesnt usually stop you from pulling out builds you enjoy haha... I am quite surprised to not have really seen any classic uThermal spine rushes recently haha
Imagine how much better this would have been with a faster ultralisk burrow. It’s such a critical buff for Zerg, a truly qualitative change that the unit desperately needs.
When you get a worm in the main I think you should use a queen to place creep tumors. People seem to underestimate the power of denying realistate with creep. It also forces them to commit attention and resources to clearing it.
Admittedly, I haven't seen every video. Been watching more. If you know or have a theory/educated guess, I would love to hear why a cheese build probably doesn't work in pro or why you think it could. Obviously, this would be tedious to do every video but I'm always interested in hearing more about theory/strategy especially in pro SC.
Same; ive only ever seen them be used as a late game desperation play; almost a pity-play as to say to the opponent 'look how trash my zerg late game units are this game is imba amirite'. But I have to say when rushed like this (and when your opponent refuses to build marauders I suppose) they do seem really scary.
@@eelcohoogendoorn8044I use ultras generally as finishing move if im ahead and i know theyre stuck on a high marine count. Ultras with the armor upgrade make marines useless as seen in this video. But yeah ive also thrown games before with them 😂
@Uthermal If you end up wanting to do longer macro games for zerg content ling/bane/infestor/ultra is a real composition and you are basically a baneling nest away from getting to it off of your ultra rush. I still reckon if you want early game zeg aggression you are better off going up to 3 bases ASAP just so you can really try zerg your opponent... Even unconventional cheesy and aggressive zergs like Bly and Meomaika will typically go up to 3 bases before they get aggressive usually trading very efficiently just off the back of higher supply than their adversities and either crushing them, getting good eco damage or trading up in resource value with a follow up of either further macro, more units or upgrades.
I don't have the APM anywhere near Uthermal, but I did know that adrenal glands are 200/200. Don't ask me how as I'm a terran player, but I did haha. fun cast sir!
Please do a "Legendary Bongcloud to GM" challenge. Bongcloud but you have to take a base on your opponents side of the map and you should probably harass with some or all of your SCVs while your command center is flying.
The vs protoss game was great, it was like a cinematic or something where you threw unexpected waves of zerg units at the enemy in surprising ways. which he couldn't handle. Loved it. More like that game please, haha.
Ah, yes. The "attempted ling drop, into nydus ultra rush, 7 minute attack timing". Standard gameplay, but hey will say this, you could have pulled an overlord to creep for your queens when you were pushing the main.
Why the hell did he not switch to marauders and hellbats -or even banshees- after getting hit by the first ultralisk attack? Banging his head against a wall going only marine-tank.
had enough to nydus infront of the queens for creep... you have lair, so an ov can follow and make creep... become the zerg.. bring the creep. yeha if you do a queen walk, there is atiming wit hlair and overlord speed so you can drop creep spread... for trasnfuse.
You don't have to watch the games uThermal plays, you can simply listen - he explains everything as it happens perfectly! It is preferable, though. Those are some wild games...
I'm surprised you haven't used any strategy that involves droping creep from overlords. Maybe something like you go for dropolords and along with other stuff you drop drones that morph into spines on creep that you drop and then rush with them? Great episode.
That 3rd game gad me on the edge of my seat haha. Great work Also, you know Thermy is smarter than us when he doesn't even have to think for a single moment to spell GLHF backwards. Took me like 15s haha
I watch a good amount of pro play with a friend and Ultras are the one we make fun of the most. Love that you're doing zerg cheese since it's almost non existent. Really hoping the patch fixes my, limited, view of competitive SC. Terran is my fave but it's too strong. Zerg had fallen far but made a bit of a resurgence. Protoss had seemed so so weak.
Can we try a new series called mix tape where you roll the wheel twice and play some kind of mix of the two builds I think you’d end up with a lot of challenging builds and we’d end up with cool mixes like proxy pf and cyclone widow mine
