1 Hour of uThermal Destroying Grandmasters With Dark Templars

[@TheBabababa]

116 probes floating 2k+ minerals. You may not like it, but this is what peak protoss looks like.

[@124horst]

i laughed so hard when he showed the unit tab

[@randommcranderson5155]

116 probes, enemy has 117 supply total

[@1111Sean1111]

I have been playing Starcraft for many years, understand the game well, but it just amazes me how good Marc is. The awareness is just incredible, realising he lost 2 DTs just looking at the supply might looks like a small details, but for me these are the things that elevate his game to Godlike level 😃

[@boreduser12]

Yeah he is good enough to be world champ but he gets intimidated too easily by looking at the names of his opponents when in tournaments.

[@marfeddewrwz]

he can also count really fast without clicking units

[@flaviusclaudius7510]

It really illustrates the large gulf between 'merely' grandmaster (from someone that never got passed plat) and professional (even former professional).

[@heikg]

I don't think people comperhend his level. The plays he does maybe a handful of people on Earth can do. Definitely do not try to imitate him.

[@charleysimmons427]

@@boreduser12 nah, I love him but he isn't a champion reynor,serral,dark,Her0 and more beat uthermal 7/10 times at the least he is great, but they are built different.

[@davecolwell725]

I basically only watch uthermal on KZbin these days, nothing else is as interesting and I seem to not enjoy them as much as your content, I've been watching your older stuff and I'm slowly getting through all your videos and I look forward to your videos every day. You can hear how much fun you're having these days just in the difference in your voice. Love your stuff.

[@inthefade]

Yes, I've been watching some older content too and, though it is good, the unmitigated joy in the way he talks and plays now is palpable. I look forward to it every day. I'm actually very excited for the try-hard content!

[@sunOOconuresOOrock]

How to get to GM in 2 simple steps: 1. Watch all uThermal content 2. Practice defending the current uThermal strats, this is all you will find on the ladder. The DT's, they are coming.

"imagine if terran also had reapers" ya that would be so OP xD

[@disinformationworld9378]

Classic mixup it’s his calling card now. 😂

[@Bortscht]

What about that you only can use units that are transformable into Archons - so basically you only can use HT, DT, Archons. Especially against the zerg with the mass mutas you might have a funnier defense if you can storm. Also you may have more minerals to expand faster and/or build more cannons. Maybe even proxy-cannonrush with HT,DT, Archons against some outer bases.

[@Shadowboost]

I like the power overwhelming build

[@Anzuo]

This would be a cool one!!

[@Bortscht]

i am thinking more and more about it. So what if the challenge might be something like you try to harrass the zerg with dts while you are building the cannons right in front of his base. Cause if he doesnt have spores like the 1st zerg you can feedback the overseers with 1-2 HTs and kill them with the cannons if the zerg is a bit careless of losing his only line of detection at some point. My MMR is too low to know if this might be playable :D

[@Name-ru1kt]

@@Bortschtthis would only work if the zerg is already dead from the dt

[@WolfgangGaming-xq5rm]

Better yet: Marc converts to the Protoss Religion and can only build religious units: Zealots, Adepts, Templars, and Archons

[@Nuovoswiss]

I'd love to see something around mass immortal. We so rarely get to see mech-toss that isn't focused around disruptors or colossus. A 4-immortal drop does almost 200 DPS against structures, so the potential for trolling is high. Bonus if you open with a glaived adept timing attack in PvZ so they build a bunch of roaches. The goal of the adepts isn't to kill drones, but to force roaches, then shield the immortals from zerglings, while the immortals kill the roaches.

[@christianivie5275]

The second game is the most impressive game I’ve seen. Sc2 is way more complex than chess and it’s mind bending seeing you play

[@dandoorma2788]

Just seeing him smiling makes this video better already. although the many grandmaster suffering of chaotic reactions is a must watch. well done.

[@bobby43rocks]

i would like to see you do only banelings. I love watching those things roll around

[@DanielDem87]

impossible to win games like that lol

[@davecolwell725]

@@DanielDem87 that makes it a perfect Marc challenge, and it’s not like he has to use only banelings just focus his build around them.

ok that makes sense ofc but i replied to a guy who said only banelings :)@@davecolwell725

[@TekGriffon]

@@DanielDem87 If you can win against a GM opponent with sentries only, you can win with banelings.

[@IamKnucks]

I like these challenges. You're aiming for mass something, but staying flexible enough to use what you need to survive.

[@ОляСоколова-ъ1с]

I was so worried about the adept at 3:40, fingers crossed, a very dramatic death, another second and he would have been alive 😭

[@card00r]

I've never been good at SC2 & I haven't played SC2 in a decade but the way you engage with your audience is amazing. Nothing like it and it keeps me coming back day after day. I wish SC2 was more popular so you'd get the recognition you deserve

[@kingdedede6145]

This is my favorite video you've ever uploaded. THANK YOU. This was so much fun!!

[@momom6197]

Phoenixes/immortals please! I love watching phoenix micro, it's so satisfying. And immortals are _technically_ all you need to deal with massive units. It'll be a joy to watch! Or, immortal/prism micro. Protoss golden age. Someone has to revive it.

[@nathanpetrich7309]

Opponents build lings or marines 2/3 of the time and you'd have no answer. Edit: to be clear, I'd still definitely watch it! xD

[@Nuovoswiss]

@@nathanpetrich7309 Glaived adepts trade decently against both, especially if there's prism micro against terran bio.

Man.. even after 10 years, SC2 is still exciting to watch. He is so good and I enjoy his commentaries.

[@davecolwell725]

Such a classic game that has such good mechanics and makes for a really entertaining esports kind of game. Would be amazing to one day see sc3.

[@themistercoolest]

i would love to see another dedicated tempest episode, the way you play tempests is so fun to watch. if you do, can you also put the builds/replays in the description?

[@Acct1941]

Yes!

[@jordanlicht1601]

I dunno I love tempest but they're too specific and kinda bad void rays in mass with some tempest as long range snipers works best with good ground support

[@TyLockton]

Insanity inflicted via Thermy torture. Glizzy is lucky he tapped, if he'd faced this he would have fully snapped.

[@HH-bc2nz]

32:12 "Don't run little immortal we don't bite, hahaha he is running away." "Anyway let's go home" "Oh fuck"

[@thedanyesful]

I think the resources lost on the first game is interesting. Shows that if you're aggressive and can consistently get some value out of your attacks, you don't have to be particularly efficient.

[@MadArtillery]

I'm surprised this went as well as it did, beefy damage did it's job though! Would love to see some Adept shenanigans as it's such a cool unit and seeing the damage Maple did with +1 Glaived adept timing makes me wonder how lethal they can be.

[@kyle52245]

Great stuff thermy!! I think this idea is the best content you've made! Hydras was amazing! DT's were awesome!!! You get to punish GMs with a single unit, but have enough freedom to make other units to counter! KEEP IT UP!!

[@Unicron187]

besides a yt-video titled "i accidentally created the borg collective" made by a guy dressed like jean-luc picard, this is definitely one of the most 'so clickbait it's not clickbait'-videos i have seen on yt recently...

[@brasshouse-og]

I have a ridiculous suggestion. Call the challenge Blockade or something. You make your main target their supply and resources not their army. So the whole goal is to eliminate supply depots, pylons, and overlords as well as workers and set up ridiculous defenses at home like the 5 cc set up. Any unit is allowed. Maybe you’d want to take waves of cloaked banshees to eliminate pylons and keep tanks and Vikings at home with your planetary to stay alive. The goal would be to make them quit because they keep getting supply blocked and are tired of running into the meat grinder at your base.

[@oscarhellberg]

Ever tried mass phoenix, zealots and darktemplars? vs zerg? so fun, keeping overseers alive is a nightmare xD , then just lift up everything with phoenixes and attack with zealots and dt's. superfun xD

[@Robaken]

Those games were absolutely bangers ! I absolutely love how invested you are getting into the strategies and how much you enjoy it 🥰

[@brandon0sh]

only uThermal could look at a single frame of fogged out Terran base setup 2 minutes in and be like "yep i dont need a gateway unit, he wont be attacking." GOAT

[@jemandvondort1585]

“My openent is soon gonna hit me with his big attack and I’m sitting here with 92 probes being supply blocked” This sums up every PvT I play. I usually lose though

I woke up hungover so I’m glad too have a 1 hour video from you to enjoy

[@hamburgers7817]

This was great Marc!! Lmao I request mass disruptor for next week. Pig teaches this build for lower leagues where you rush an observer prism speed and disruptor. And try to catch his army clumped. Prob works better at the lower level but might be fun to see mass observers, disruptor, prisms.

[@JoshuaHLim]

I find it impressive that you are commenting and playing the game at the same time. I would be so focused on the game that I couldn't say a word.

[@calgaryhockey6991]

8:30 Me: Dang, uThermal is so amazing, pre-emptively placing his probes in front of his cannons to prevent the zerglings from surrounding it! Effing genius. 8:40 uThermal: I was wondering why my probes were being so stupid. Oh :(

Cuz ur protoss is lookin pretty damn good: 28:00+ (that game!) Peaking!? your micro gets top tier (ive ever seen) "what is going on, am I a protoss God?!" Classic Uthermal. Admittedly work on less probes (117 heh nice), more army? But then again, if u had no limitations, an ability to switch/afford any path quickly..

An hour and 7 minutes of mass DTs and not 1 archon. This was awesome! Also, the only player that didn't GG out was the last Terran player; and most of the rest also added well played also.

[@michaelswain868]

Honestly watching this do you think you could do or possibly consider DT's to GM but just like your mothership challenge it is more of a theme than a hard rule. I really just wanna see a double prism play where you are haunting your opponent with DT's and then have a casual mass zealot warp in on the other how far you could take DT's with double prisms, proxys, comboed with other units like that insane stalker, phoenix DT army you ran. I'd be willing to bet you'd get so into it and be so unexpected you would get close to 6K.
