Marc tried to always assess the positive in any loss. "He did just kill my whole army but on the plus side, he's going to be a bit over confident now" Or "He did just kill my whole army but on the plus side, he may be completely out of bullets and missiles" Edit: since this comment got some love, just going to edit to add this in.

His multitasking is legendary indeed. The only other sc2 player I watch is Pig now, and I can see his brain wrinkling while playing, meanwhile Marc just flows all the time. It's crazy, never seen someone be able to commentate like this while playing

[@faithful451]

My favourite collective nouns for ravens are treachery and conspiracy. Also love 'parliament' of rooks, and of course the ultimate 'murder' of crows

[@csantos2]

There are a couple of names for a group of ravens. There’s “rave,” “treachery,” “unkindness,” and “conspiracy.” Most people probably use the term “flock” just because they don’t know the other collective nouns for ravens. Also, it was very fun seeing you do a deep run of an ESL tournament.

[@IamKnucks]

It's amazing to see you crushing it! Good gaming!

[@viceroy___]

Collective nouns for a group of ravens (or at least the common raven) include "rave", "treachery", "unkindness" and "conspiracy". In practice, most people use the more generic "flock".

[@fuzz992]

Thanks for the video. I really appreciate that you keep it fun. BTW, a group of ravens is called an unkindness, rave, conspiracy, treachery or a flock. They got a lot of negative reviews back in the 19th century, thus the names. They get the name unkindness because they kick their babies out of the nest before they can fly. However, they continue to care for the babies for a few weeks after they are out of the nest, but the act looks evil to people who don't know what is going on. It's believed they get kicked out to help them develop strength since they can move around easier when not in the nest. Personally, I think this helps filter out the crayon eaters and keeps them from getting supply blocked.

[@MrLocusthead]

So last year you hit 50k subs, you’re commentary is so much better (informative, friendly, self depreciating) than anything else I’ve seen, who knows where this year brings that number, UP!!! And to quote you Let’s frikkin GOOOO!! 😎

[@ComeForPeace]

This is absurd. You can get into the grand final of ESL while commentating at the same time???? And your commentating is so interesting as well. What a genius

[@mazhiwezakizo3513]

multiple Ravens are an "Unkindness", while multiple Crows would be a "Murder".

[@elonwhatever]

53:00 "An conspiracy of ravens" is indeed what you are looking for. An unkindness of ravens can indeed also apply (both are fine). Others that are cool are "A murder of crows" and a "a parliament of owls"

[@fundamentalconvolution1749]

At least in the first game (still gotta watch the other ones), the deciding factor was you were able to turtle up and had him come to you, where your siege tanks and turrets shredded his army. While Ravens do have harass potential and are good at gorilla tactics, they pair really well with heavy defensive units like siege tanks. A lot of his stuff was killed before it even got within range to respond. The trick is getting them to take the bait, which you eventually did.

[@felixchagnon2201]

So, I just googled it up, and a flock of ravens is called a "rave", an "unkindness", a "treachery" or a "conspiracy". That's what you do! 😆 Awesome videos!

[@ctwest3601]

"Collective nouns for a group of ravens (or at least the common raven) include "rave", "treachery", "unkindness" and "conspiracy". In practice, most people use the more generic "flock"." So, you could just call them a rave.

[@paulkruger62]

1. play and commentate 5 hours of consecutive professional SC2 2. go for a run 3. eat some pasta - uThermy

[@JaharNarishma]

53:03 regarding names for groups of ravens, the popular one is unkindness. There are a lot of specific words for groups of different animals and most of them - almost all of them - originate from 1 book written by 1 person a few hundred years ago. These words did not enter the language proper for a couple of hundred years until someone rediscovered that book relatively recently and spread these arbitrary words. One person came up with them, was mostly ignored for several generations, then got popular after more than a century. These words have no normal place in history. Their existence is completely arbitrary in a way few other words are. One person wrote a "dictionary" and an unrelated group enjoyed part of it and started using some of the definitions in the "dictionary." You can read up on this if you want. The KZbin channel Rob words has a great video about it too.

[@lairdofgarscaddon]

You should have a standing rule: once per cast, you can abandon the plan and sweat the win. I find games like that amazing to watch.

Dude this was a legendary set of games. Was a absolute pleasure to watch. I don't play starcraft so I didn't understand everything but I was hooked the whole time!

[@elricdotah]

Second game you should've really squeezed out a raven in addition to those 20+ vikings. The anti armor missile of Clem really decided those fights.

"Maybe I'll win on accident by making more vikings." When I say this in bronze league, they sneer! When he says this in an ESL cup, they cheer!

The first thing i do before i eat is start up a uthermal video. The second thing i do is eat while i watch. thx for making so many good series keep it up 👍

[@lbfilipino87]

It's an 'Unkindness' of Ravens. Which I think works well with Starcraft because of the unkindness they create for your opponent.

[@KamikazeWombat]

Nice work Marc! I feel like your random trying of crazy things may give you an advantage over most players for figuring stuff out on the fly

[@burakonlem2143]

Hello Marc. Your SC2 content is top-notch, it's really enjoyable. As a "retired" pro, you still can beat top pros, while commentating at the same time. Hats off to you! As a scrub Terran player, I'd really like you to make a new tutorial or bronze to GM series with the new patch! Thanks :)

[@chrisgriffith1573]

So nice to see you getting to the finals in a tourney! I love the "Conspiracy of Ravens" you mentioned. I think Hero was throwing rines into you when he was supply blocked, both gaining supply and scouting at the same time. You two were definitely Masters in the arena!

[@xeruexe1624]

After hearing Marc get hungry on the finals, I think esports big wigs should really make a study of how much calories a tournament burns up from players. Help stables and players with their pre-game prep (could also be beneficial for lower level players, too). Will that make Starcraft 2 ideal for weight loss. Highly unlikely. Unless they somehow make it into a full-body VR game. And even then I think it'll just turn your body spasming from the APM.

[@catbert7]

Grats on beating Clem! He may have been experimenting a bit but, hey, that just makes it even, since you're always doing that xD 40:20: Man, it was looking so good after this fight. Those Tank kills put it solidly in your favor. If the Ravens hadn't suicided it would have been even more so. I think making 3 Libs was the biggest mistake. You really only need 1 to push forward. Making 3 helped him gain the Viking advantage. And, after that, too many Tanks. Could have had a lot more Vikings or Marines. That many Tanks is massive overkill, especially when the enemy is going air.

[@ike0072]

48:35 wow you actually dodged the viking shots by landing your viking, I didn't know you could do that. I went into the unit tester and gave it a try if I could use that to reliably win in a 20 vikings vs 20 vikings mirror and I lost every time with this "micro" :D I guess it is not that useful or I just suck at the execution :D

[@xai__]

Hi Marc, just sharing an idea: I think you have said before that you don't want to do a bronze to GM series because once you run out of provisional MMR it takes hundreds of games to get there. What if you used multiple accounts to do it? So for example one account to go from Bronze 3 -> Gold 3, another one to go from Gold 3 -> Plat 3 or Diamond 3, and so on? That way you could always have provisional MMR available and do it in much fewer games. Feels like you would be a great teacher and it would be great to hear your take on how to play at different skill levels. p.s. great episode as always today!
