1 Protoss Grandmaster vs 7 Protoss INSANE A.I. (Fastest Way Possible)

[@JustWatoo]

Mothership rush to grandmaster when?!

[@jasonauger2914]

Nice.

[@quidestveritas0]

One of the few Protos series I would watch

[@brkillee]

Haha, yes, but I think Harstem has already got that challenge going!

[@juanambriz5194]

That's nice

[@wolvie90]

There are so many cool opportunities for Toss challenges, this is another really good one. I personally wanna see Only Caster Units to GM, you're not allowed to build units that don't have energy.

[@florianr.3858]

note to myself : mass zealot and colossus isn't very efficient against mothership-carriers

[@linkten4108]

mass zealot is, if you dont control them as ai does...well not to wait until 200/200 of cause.

[@videoboysayscube]

Insane AI: When you have GM macro but Bronze League game sense

[@Blankstareman]

Slow zealots for win!

[@benscanlan4818]

Marcy boy. The Reverse A.I challenge. You Vs 7 community members. You get 140% resources and map hacks, versus 7 humans playing who get to communicate over voice with normal game settings. I think you're a mad man and could probably win vs 7 people hahaha. Thanks for making the game I loved so much 10 years ago a pleasure again.

[@danmanwick]

Lol I like this tutorial Step 1) build 2nd nexus Step 2) build cannons Step 3) ??? Step 4) 16 carriers, fully upgraded

[@kv3co]

This is exactly what my build was when playing comp stomps in BW 20 years ago.

[@dewottgaming1507]

there was indeed an upgrade for carriers on the fleet beacon that eventually got removed. Graviton Catapult made carriers launch interceptors faster. forge upgrades require a twilight council for +2 and +3. cybernetics core upgrades require a fleet beacon for +2 and +3.

[@asnyder1635]

This is also possible because the ai doesn't make their own fleet beacons. Tempests would be a real pain to deal with.

[@EMTMF]

or oracles

[@austinvitelli1528]

They occasionally make a fleet beacon, but will only build like 1-2 carriers/tempests, and usually only in the really late game.

[@AC3handle]

@@austinvitelli1528 I'm kind of wondering if that's because of cash issues, or supply blocked.

[@austinvitelli1528]

@@AC3handle I don’t think so. I’ve played a lot of 1v7 challenges and they’ll have loads of money/supply available, and they still build slow unupgraded zealots or other random units. For whatever reason void rays and Phoenix are the only air units they’ll build a handful of

[@Stiggandr1]

Terran and Zerg challenges. > Insane micro, precise setups, hold on until they run out of minerals then tentatively move out and try to take the gold. Protoss challenge > Every bronze league build ever. lol. I'm just kidding around. Great video.

[@Tronous117]

Bronze League build order for the win!

[@josefanon8504]

that is exactly what i played in bronze league when the game came out. minus the good macro and micro

[@Tronous117]

@@josefanon8504 same here! We had the secret sauce all along

[@davedavy5406]

I actually used this strategy when I was trying to figure out how to do the 7 Insane AI challenge, but the most I could beat was 5 insane AIs due to lack of skill. I used a few tempests to more efficiently snipe the observers from a distance. Gonna hop back on and try again now that I am inspired

[@Kayther33]

Skill issue, literaly

[@benihanah]

Such a laid back episode after the last $100 challenge one. I know this is your winning run so there were probably many un-released recordings prior, but you CRUISED this one so easily it felt like you had 'power overwhelming' toggled on haha. Always satisfying to watch a swarm of interceptors raze 7 AI. Well done on the execution as always, and thanks for another great showing of skill in game and commentary! God bless!!!

[@asdf154]

Don't skip! I want to see the full clean up!!

[@LCInfantry]

ASMR

[@MemeKing44]

thank you thermal, loved this amazing feet you acomplished, well played, and your a great teacher. you will go down in history.

[@youngfartog]

Insane mode campaign would be a treat to watch. Love your videos

[@mattdespard6576]

This kind of reminds me of an old WC3 1vX strat where you'd abuse the AI being coded to always repair their buildings, so you can lure out all their peasants/peons and crater their economy

[@DoctorVoni]

The first part of the enemy attacks feels like in co op when the enmy has an air comp and my teammate goes pure zealots-

[@chefbrankothespider5094]

Golden Armada for the win

[@davidjuuuuh4]

Bedankt en dit is mn suggestie: Mass Baneling drops into infestor baneling (fungals and drops challenge vs low master high dia)

[@mawsterman]

Absolute monster

[@eulefranz944]

The cannon battery wall was very satisfying

[@erfanalizadehnoohi2845]

maybe having a couple of templars for storms would also help, and since they use energy you would ideally get unlimited value out of their aoe dmg through the choke point

[@Fallouter123]

Bullying the AI is never ending, Mark needs more views

[@maofamily6509]

Well played.

[@jeremynelson3899]

I always wonder if there's some bug in the ai code. why don't you get massively doom dropped instead of everything just coming in the front door?

[@MasonDauphin]

uThermal is role-playing Karax over here

[@waterzoip]

Imagine if suddenly 1 of the AI gets the idea to make an oracle and uses revelation >:D

[@LCInfantry]

Yeah in the beginning it be a little more rough I’d imagine

[@tranquilnice775]

I like trying stuff right after watching your vids and thinking that they're easy only to realize that they looked easy because you're a pro gm sc2 player. Silly goose.

[@hoseja]

After the intro I had to check if this wasn't uploaded April 1st!

[@DessertedStudios]

It would be cool to watch like 1v4 versus insane AIs. but to have the 1 player as an archon mode Terran and to not allow cheesing to win. Perfect marine medivac micro, is it possible?

[@bennjj4478]

i dont even play sc2 i just love marc! keep it up buddy!

[@biogoo]

Who would have thought protoss to be the easiest... at least in Pv7P.

[@sfire21xm]

Thanks, just got to GM with this!

[@blavena]

Any chance we get the remaining zerg and protos matchups?I loved watching all terran ones, but could only find the other races versus protos

[@dennis2society]

reminds me of the good old broodwar stacking days

[@lostone9700]

I also had this idea of cannon check points for map control but i havent had time to try this. I actually havent played in months.

[@monopoliz___2856]

I would make 2 pylons and 2 cannons like checkpoints along the paths leaving my base. Works pretty cool when kiting back

[@HiopX]

Karax Coop players: My time has come

[@balazsfenyes3880]

Thermy is now playing Karax coop.

[@qontodemigo2461]

I like the AI challenges and would love to see you play vs man made AI instead of just the in game AI I know they exist just don’t know how your skill would compare to theirs so you might have to take on multiple.

[@lostone9700]

I love to see my strats being used.

[@amythystmiriel]

Oh no Marc turned into a dirty skytoss player!

[@oey192]

Recent update changed the mothership so it only cloaks when you use an active ability, which can't be kept enabled indefinitely. Is this challenge sill possible after that update?

[@martink9481]

There is one question that bothers me: Does the fact, that the AI gets more income mean, that they just get more mins and gas with the workers or do they in fact mine more than a geysir or a mineral field is worth (for example there are 1000 gas and they can get out 1400)?

[@TheMuffinman191]

I believe they mine the same amount but the worker returns more.

[@westmaui]

Burrow to Grandmaster please!

[@frcomet5009]

If you play the mod co-op and campaign units, the insane A.i is smart as fuck nd alot of times they match ur build order or at least somewhat reassemble it nd they have micro as well. It's alot harder then normal insane a.i I would love to see him try and 1vs 7 insane a.i on that mod. Nd that mod is so much fun

[@lostone9700]

I wonder of something like this could be used in 1v1. Cannon forest to gm?

[@aidanchow1051]

I would still love a proxy mothership in proxy nexus to gm.

[@watsup6084]

I don't have the map abandoned parish on EU custom melee :/

[@Caleb-bg6hm]

Where is the psychological attack to grandmaster

[@craig4811]

Let's go!

[@foxtubelp6359]

aint a secret anymore

[@bryancoombes244]

Coaching new player to GM

[@Mach1048]

As for all things, Sky Protos wins everything?

[@Quetzen]

As always Carriers = instant win

[@lbarto88]

I enjoy watching this type of challenge but me, personally, could use less vocal explanation. Maybe others enjoy the constant talking but not me! Love watching you play.

[@lbarto88]

Loved watching you, Spanishiwa, and Scarlett

[@MikeMorris-q6k]

OOOOOOh

[@nguyentran7068]

AI map hack and still can't figure out if Collossi counter Mothership or not lol

[@AC3handle]

muddership

[@milletmongoose]

Of course it’s Protoss.

[@goccha]

Protos is OP :p

[@Sunjammer13]

Cool!!!

[@Phi1618033]

uThermal is so good at baiting his neighbor, he could be considered a master baiter.

[@zxkredo]

Oooh thats why they nerfed rhe mothership

[@ovidiulucaci3531]

now mothership has limited time invisibility, so is not working anymore like that. old content

[@rocketrockinit]

Not play them that's an easy w
