This is fantastic sportsmanship. Cheers bro.

[@nikosc2]

Thank you mates💜

[@karanoelle4819]

Niko, in case you are watching this, I hope you have taken this loss with pride. You fought til the end, didn't get salty, and even looked for advice on this. You have the drive to do better, so keep pushing. You got this.

[@nikosc2]

Thank you for your kindness💜

[@fundamentalconvolution1749]

Honestly, what I'd say is really awesome is that the Terran opponent asked for your advice on how to deal with it and you actually helped him instead of mocking him or blowing him off. Well played man.

[@PaulEmsley]

Do you mean the Zerg opponent - nikos?

[@fundamentalconvolution1749]

@@PaulEmsley You're right, it's been a long day lol.

[@poo2uhaha]

Yeah, Harstem also does the same thing and its super wholesome :)

[@fundamentalconvolution1749]

@@poo2uhaha To me that's one of the differences between a true pro and just a player.

[@Fifury161]

That's called sportsmanship, rare to see it these days!

[@filosofiadetalhista]

Here's something special about Marc (uThermal) that we might not notice: he always fills in the early game with some engaging conversation. We're not bored just because there's no action

[@GenePerry]

Never thought of it that way, but that's so true. Great casual content, like your at your best friends house waiting for your turn on the console...

[@zanderlascala]

An absolute legend. Top tier entertainment full stop. Not out of SC2 content creators. Simply overall, this is some of the best gaming content on all of KZbin. Thank you Thermy for your consistency and uplifting demeanor always (and your pro gamer moves) - sincerely a non StarCraft player who appreciates awesome original content

[@gcl2783]

I concur. Thermy's disposition and attitude make for excellent content.

[@lostone9700]

In the words of the great Scruffy “Second”.

[@quantgeekery6358]

Every game lost is a learning experience. That Zerg player got it.

[@elpirato8268]

True gigachad mentality

[@feudante975]

Not the case of some Terrans we've seen :)

[@jbfairchild]

The best part is how Marc is just so happy how he has learned so much. He sees the resources lost and you can see the light above his head for ideas. You can tell see sees the room for growth, and has ideas he will pop out later. Good job Thermal we all love the series.

[@Arctyr]

Four incredible games today! The efficiency of the ravens is insane. I love your planetary fortress/turrets strategy against zerg.

[@WaxMyMurloc]

I watch you every night. Haven’t watched StarCraft since totalbiscuit days. You’re voice helps me doze off, Also ended up going back to startcraft because of you! Keep up the good content

[@omegapsi847]

23:05 always like your enthusiasm and passion for this game :)

[@hendrickginn3323]

Absolutely fanstastic gameplay and kudos to your for doing this. I played broodwar 25+ years ago and now only watch the games. Reminds me why this is my favorite game of all time. Keep up the content, you are basically the first channel I check each day.

[@gp123lIlI]

I just discovered this channel a few days ago and I am addicted

[@uThermal]

Welcome ^^

[@lordstorm88]

oh man i remember playing 4v4 back when sc2 first came out and massed hellions. They scale so well against most ground units when massed. i'd just roam around, surround an army and then roast it :D

[@richardellis4583]

I stopped playing SC2 years ago but still love watching your videos x

[@raviolli02]

I used to watch BeastyQT do these kinds of challenges before he quit SC2.....I'm so glad I found your channel!!

[@Wicked_Goblin]

The Mecha Necro just preformed a massive summoning of destruction with those wicked turrets. Your efficiency was off the charts.

[@teabonezen]

This is so fun to watch, other than the turrets it's the helions barbecuing the zergs blue flames on zerg, just the way Terran likes it This series along with Harstem's SC2Day are the best sc2 videos to watch on a weekly basis

[@mvez10]

What we see here is just a dude living his best life! uThermal you look like you are having soo much fun with this one haha.

[@binkawy]

Amazing episode !! You make magic with these builds its insane!

[@cheesypuffs1342]

20:58 I need to make this my screensaver XD

[@ChrisM541]

Hydras vs blue flame 😂😂

[@Digital_Goose]

Loving this and the GtGM series. Blue flame pays off in run by's alone, if the game goes the distance. Ps. Bring some Ravens over to your TvT for the Ghosts series! Just no auto turrets. They'd let you counter the Ghost counters, and would make for some super creative plays. ♥️

[@MrTommybomby]

I love what you are doing! great commentary and fun play style. I always root for you in the tournaments. I was watching your second game and I thought: What if you sprinkled in more armor shred against queens and lings? Maybe disables and anti-armor will help the survivability of the turrets and the damage output of the hellions. I enjoy these videos a tremendous amount.

[@MrTommybomby]

As i continued to watch the second game you did everything I suggested above. I guess I should have waited to comment. I was just excited to say hi and I appreciate your work.

[@jonathansaxton9954]

A+ for good sportsmanlike conduct.

[@Maxvla]

Super glad to see you using the ravens as raiding units again! You talked about using the ravens more in early game, but think about what you were saying with the zerg just remaking drones. If you fly ravens in ones and twos you will probably kill a good number of workers, but you will have lost that energy to do real damage later, and your opponent just remakes the workers. Massing enough ravens to fly in, take out a base and retreat is better than slowing their growth because you'll never actually cause a setback killing some workers here and there. Still would like to see that first expansion as a planetary, to ward off stuff like early stalker pushes, but you are doing well with your style now. You are really getting into the feel of this build. Also, I could be wrong but I think in your first battle with the broodlords, you hadn't completed building armor or building attack range upgrades, hence the difference in outcomes.

[@brandon0sh]

I love Thermal and niko in the final game, like "my brother, we have a job to do - play a beautiful macro game. lets make it happen"

[@__Michal]

so glad you took my advice on the eng bay upgrade for raven

[@jamesrruff]

Great content, your joy is contagious.

[@loquet245]

Fantastic episode!

[@IamKnucks]

The good attitudes here are so refreshing!

[@priscillanava3181]

This is wonderful, thank you

[@kardainzr161]

Very nice game play and explanation to the Zerg guy!

[@UtikaCollar]

You're a nice guy. Great vid!

[@andrewburke3470]

the thing about Ravens is that every bit of damage they do is with energy so they can really impact the resource aspect of the game, you get so much for your money when it works.

[@RaggedVentures]

I wonder if ravens would be a good complement for Ghosts to Grandmaster latter phases. Anti-armor for the ghosts, auto-turrets... You're already producing a small number of medivacs for drops. You could call it Phase Poe.

[@leatherjacket9]

Love this so much!!! Wish to see more. Not sure why more people don't use ravens in mass.

[@Sparhawk801]

The units lost was insane!!! I love these mass raven games.

[@slimpwarrior]

The build improvement work of a master! Well done :)

[@andrewoliinyk6670]

I used to watch BeastyQT for moments like this. Now I'm glad I found you :)

[@donvitto5123]

At Minute 21.30 i learned how effective are hellions with Blueflame against hydras, thanks for that. Very important Micro

[@gokublack8342]

47:00 Infested Terrans were also bugged and ignored armor is why they hit so hard

[@athonkiller2980]

I tried mass ravens in coop as Nova using the faster starports. 3 missles and turrets with backup healing is amazing. tbf I did sprinkle in banshees due too the starport cooldown but honestly with an ally watching your back your ravens will be safe.

[@codyheiner3636]

When you split your Ravens and Hellions into separate squads in TvZ, maybe right click one raven on your hellions to clear creep.

[@CKPMJUNG]

20:58 was so satisfying to watch

[@02yricky]

[@harveyhutsby7697]

never played this game but your videos are quite entertaining

[@Freeman1000000]

Best terran content in years!

[@m.lebedev1493]

What do you think about playing 2 reactor factories and 1 starport (instead of 1 facto + 2 starports) against 4 gate blink. Since you'll be able to outproduce him (in terms of hellions/stalkers) and possibly dive & try to suuround him. The 2/3 ravens you'll have would be just for anti-armor (and maybe disabling the prism). Cuz when I saw the game you lost (3900 mmr opponent), you just couldn't keep up with his stalker production (plus you kept loosing all your ravens)

[@kardainzr161]

Hey watched so many of your games casted by others, but not by yourself (On KZbin) I have watched you on Twitch, enjoying the content and how you explain/play, well, I'm just saying I'm enjoying watching you =)

[@kardainzr161]

You are right the drone scout is a flying overlord =)

[@TheTrueReiniat]

you ever thought about playing the Age of Empires IV been trying to learn it and I'd love to watch more content for that game. It would be interesting to see how you approach a new comp RTS

[@pika40607]

I"m liking the high eco builds. Even super greed eco is fun to watch

[@lynk_1240]

34:45 Simple solution. You keep 2 ravens on a separate control group just for harrasment

[@Alloran]

Mass blink stalkers were pretty much the autoloss for Beasty when he tried this. They either hit before you can defend or pick off a few ravens and blink away from the turrets. Pretty rough. Outside of that, Raven harass to cripple eco was the way.

[@TheGuruStud]

But they knew it was beasty, so that's why he lost. Barcode and he would've won a lot more games.

Against higher mmr, you could try to get the auto turret upgrades from the engineering bay as early as possible.

[@Darkruk]

I recently came back to SC2 because I watched you play. But I couldn't find any zerg and TVZ my favourite match up. I feel like you can see them only on higher level because of the nerfs and how much APM the race requires. (inject larva, spread creep, control bigger than usual army)

[@Mackin7777]

Some great games in this episode, ravens ftw.

saw this similar build in GSL, they're uThermal fans

What you think about Corvid reactor in TvT?especially since I open 3 Raven?

[@Kotsya]

Hi, thank you for your videos. I Am gonna make a suggestion, it would be cool to see casters only to gm series with you playing random

[@vavanjukebox7137]

since BeastyQT left SC2 for AoE4, I was wondering who will do fun challenges like him... Thank you !

can an scv be used to repair the raven turrets and make them last longer?
