Same here man! congrats! Been watching late nights all week with baby in hand. Starting this game when i was 8 and never thought i would still be into it 20 years later with my own kids. . (i still suck tho haha) Lets raise the next gen starcraft kids !

It's free- if you have the time and a PC, you should play the campaign, it's amazing.

Versus is pretty stressful in general but the campaign and co-op is super relaxing and fun. Definitely worth trying.

Hey Thermal, watching you daily from Istanbul, I haven't been watching SC2 for 7-8 years, but you pulled me back into the scene again. Thank you for your great commentary and cheesy plays.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

I feel like your biggest strength is your ability to multi task drops, macro and defend all at the same time, and your best game wins facing incredible odds have been due to this, dropping constantly on various targets at once is so amazing to watch you do. This weekend I am sick with a cold, so I am kicked back in my cozy chair watching your episode about three times before I got all the way through without falling asleep! Love your stuff!

[@erple2]

I'd like to add, doing all of that with continuous informative commentary on what you're doing, why you're doing it, and why it is effective, including good counters that would thoroughly just wipe out your strategies continuously. Well done!

[@borgsie]

Greetings from the Philippines! I used to play a lot of Brood War when I was young, then some WoL before real life kicked-in. Now I just watch the games from tournaments and some content creators. I must say, yours is the most entertaining to watch. Keep 'em coming, Marc!

[@FlyingDragoon8]

Girlfriend and I always watch your videos at night while laying in bed (I sometimes sneak a few after you first release them and pretend to not have watched it). You're so positive and it helps unwind and relax. Watching from the U.S.A.

Watching from California, USA. I appreciate the amount of content you have been putting out for us to watch. I find your gameplay and commentary skills are absolutely fantastic and very easy to listen and watch.

[@thezzach]

Another excellent video. Thank you. Amazing skill. I started playing sc2 when I was recovering from multiple surgeries for at home due to military injuries. I fell in love with sc2 after decades away from gaming. I rose up to 3800, became addicted, then hit a ceiling. After losing my temper so frequently; I had to stop playing altogether. I am so impressed with players like you and have found that watching the pros is almost as satisfying as playing.

[@daringdarius5686]

As a Bolivian who lives in the states, trying to become a citizen and is about to graduate University in 2 months, I just wanted to add that I am extremely happy and got an unnatural amount of national pride that you mentioned Bolivia. I consider myself American at this point, but still super happy. That's all :)

[@kentondoyle3451]

Since the Raven Hellion is done, when using it in tournaments, a phase two raven build that allowed some other units like libs, tanks and vikings would be nice to see full power raven hellion themed army. A nuking themed challenge with a mixed comp, lots of omega nukes would be fun. Enjoying the videos.👍✌️

[@louie8649]

I played StarCraft when I was a kid, but never played SC2. Randomly stumbled across your videos and I really love your attitude. Keep it up, man!

[@rouensk]

Greetings from Slovakia! I haven't even play SC2 multiplayer in my life, but love your content. Live commentary is so good, never change it. These challenges are the best (especially marines, I love the Starship Troopers vibes against zerg lol). I would totally watch even crazier and less viable builds - you know, downright silly stuff, with no chance to reach GM, just to see how far would you get using your unholy skill :))

[@DBSTATUS04]

Love watching your videos here in the U.S. and appreciate the commentary to explain your thought process. Very entertaining gameplay!

[@derpyhooves7349]

For this series it would be very fitting and useful, since you are relying heavily on drops to have a chance, to get a fusion core for the Rapid Reignition System for the medivacs. It's actually very fun to use for multidrops.

[@theyet1records]

I watch your videos every day when I go on the treadmill. Your upbeat enthusiasm makes your content shine. Cheers from Canada!!

[@robinbramke7004]

Hey Marc, greetings from Bavaria Germany. I'm watching the episode every day. And I'm super excited for the skyterran challenge! Please do Liberator, Viking ( plus maybe 1 Raven for anti armor missile), against Zerg, and maybe Protoss. Maybe if they counter by going sky aswell, your libs' aoe dmg plus the anti armor missile will do the job.

[@burbles4185]

Stumbling across your channel renewed my interest in SC2. Before I just played the campaigns and barely beat them on Brutal, and after that I just played Co-Op with a friend and leveled up the heroes etc. scraping by on Brutal until I developed better macro and comfortably played Brutal with Heroes with quite a few Mastery points. A week ago I fired it up again. Just watching your playstyle and listening to your thoughts as you play opened my eyes to simple 101 things on being better. Within a few games I was easily clearing Brutal co-op with level 1 Heroes that I just prestiged... effortlessly. I guess I just needed a calm sensible pro-level player explaining what he was doing (and me looking up terminologies like 2 on 1 or 2-2-1 or gas as expand... i still dont FULLY understand those things but I get the jist) and that changed my perception of the game. I am now able to cruise through Brutal+ mutations. I've also been using the AI in Versus to practice real SC2 gameplay, and I got up high enough that I figured my macro was decent to try in PVP. I went into my first UNRANKED pvp game (so i have literally 0 MMR, nothing at stake, what could go wrong?) and did a 7 minute (sucks i know) 2 medivac with marines drop into the supply line to get splatted by turrets and siege tanks before i could react (bc im new and i suck) and then the guy was literally at my doorstep with double battlecruiser. So. Even unranked is vicious to newbies lol. Anyway I need to study and practice macros better. My micro is amateur level but I at least know what SHOULD be done so I try. My main issue is I'm so focused on the macro that even if I scout and try to figure out what they're doing, I literally can't glean proper information by seeing a reactor instead of a tech lab, or if they take 1 or 2 gasses, or if they already have the natural. No idea what TZP will work into based on one decision made while scouting. Which is why I love these X to GM challenges. Can you get to GM with only Marines and Medivacs? Yes? Well then I can at least get to SOMEWHERE higher up, right?

[@adamhenrie3879]

Keep up the great work!! You will quickly get better at 1v1 if you keep at it. Don’t get dismayed but getting whacked on the ladder a bit, you will soon be matched with others near your skill level and slowly you will gain competency. Pretty soon you’ll start to macro well, and then learn to scout at the right times, then soon your micro will pick and you’ll be a ladder hero in no time. So much fun :))

[@EmperorMengsk]

I remember playing the original StarCraft (not even the brood war expansion) many many years ago. When StarCraft 2 came out when I was in either Middle or High School I played the demo and didn't win a single game but I still enjoyed watching commentators like Husky and HD. When they stopped commentating I didn't follow much anymore and I honestly thought it was a dead game. Then your videos came up recently I'm hooked again. I have zero idea what any of the strategies are but the excitement in your voice as you play is captivating.

[@ayanithtalreign]

Just as an FYI, you asked with seriousness whether you were ever flippant about other players and talked down/condescendingly about them. Since that video, I've done nothing but see you give fair shakes to every last one of them. The worst thing you've said has been "I definitely think that he made a mistake here" about an opponent, and you couldn't talk yourself out of feeling that way. It's impossible for you to be condescending if you try so hard to understand the actions of others. Condescending people never bother to try and understand others, because they have opinions based on arrogance. You are funny, and sometimes crude, but you are humble about yourself and how you play. Also, you always sound happy when someone pulls some shenanigans on you that totally wreck your day. Thanks for putting on good content!

[@alexandersen1372]

When you talk with someone you know and such it would be great to see if they would be willing to chat/talk about what they thought on the game. i know the first guy was warming up but knowing how the otherside felt in game would be great : )
