If you make enough episodes you should just make a montage of all the nukes you made with symphony music playing in the background as the intro for one of your videos.

5:15 "Now I'm actually going to fly my factory across..." Nooooooo! Don't do it! Not again! You need the factory to build your nukes!

[@echofarm5237]

exactly what i was yelling here

[@lynk_1240]

I was yelling to just build an extra barracks and float that over instead for exactly that reason!

[@RoyalFusilier]

Absolutely spectacular last game, I agree it was possibly the closest and most intense game in the series. And this series is certainly my favorite, the combination of brutal simplicity and pure skill-based miracle outplays can't be found quite the same anywhere else. Oh, and being so annoying to opponents that they tend to just leave in frustration.

[@rhpmike]

Saw a random uThermal video from 6ish months ago and Marc was like "Mass nukes is not really good except sometimes you get a massive one and get 5 million youtube views" and it was at that moment that he probably conceived of this series lol.

[@esoteric404]

That last game was seriously epic. Every engagement could result in losing all your ghosts to a single disrupter shot

[@auzor5900]

If you have extra ghost around, you could EMP just before nuke lands, to deal more dmg vs buildings... and as a bit of extra salt.

[@randommcranderson5155]

for non suicide ghost squads it makes sense, but usually he's running pretty near the limit.

[@dr_prospector9602]

31:48 - Begins the triple nuke run

[@bruh-xp9zf]

love ya man

[@randommcranderson5155]

technically the last game you also nuke annoyed him into leaving too... Protoss: "...another mineral line? didn't I stop 30 nukes" Uthermal: "...what if I shoot 3 more nukes?" I wonder if this looks as ridiculous to them when they watch the replay, assuming they can overcome their disgust enough to watch the replay

[@RaggedVentures]

Whiskeyjack probably sounds familiar because of either the Steven Erikson's Malazan books, or _American Gods_ by Neil Gaiman.

[@user-ie5pt7eg1l]

God... Last game is absolutely insane and so is the level of your skill! Keep up the incredible job, Marc!

[@EricLancheres]

Love the series, the content is amazing. Please take a break though, we don't want you burning out!

hush, he is fine, give him superchats or something

[@jtsoldier]

That GG got far more laughter from me than it reasonably deserved.

[@folieadeux147]

First guy determined that playing the game out against you would have been a pyhrric victory so he saved both of you the trouble and exchanged some MMR for sanity points

[@Chris971.]

I probably replayed the 38 probe nuke 15 times. Incredible lmao

[@hamburgers7817]

Marc I've been watching you since a little before the bongcloud series. Harstem recommend coming here for good Terran Builds. But I got sucked in by the memes. And it is so good to see the channel popping. 700+ likes in 2 days. Used to be 150 for a 6month old video. Congrats on the success thanks for the content!

[@sweezy7455]

"First win by annoyance" lmao

[@RocZi]

last game was hard because after you got your 38 kills first nuke, with the knowledge you only use ghosts and nukes, he had the advantage by building units to counter your cloak and your bio units, and he managed to dodge many of your thereafter nukes. in many fights his disruptor is also able to blow off many of your ghost, but you managed to cripple his economy, slowly and he lost in the end due to your sheer perseverance and constant successful multi-tasking.. great effort well deserved win.

[@Miketar2424]

I'm scratching my head how that last Protoss' economy didn't completely stall out after losing all those workers.

[@RoyalFusilier]

It apparently had, hence the gg despite his army looking strong.

[@datatravelleri]

Your algorithm friends here succeeded. I got recommended one of the videos from this ghost series and recognized your name from TBs tournaments. I recall your games always being fun to watch.

[@dommason502]

Of all the SC2 players, perhaps uThermal is the one I like & watch the most especially the challenges and ESPECIALLY the comentary through every vid

[@takdraw3394]

"Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? ... EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Opponent player has left the game.

[@aneubeck4053]

This is just a plain good content idea. So suspenseful to watch the nukes come down and wonder if they’re going to land.

[@MarcDobby]

Thank you for proving Marc is the correct way to spell it!

[@timcollins5715]

I watch most of your videos. You are an amazing gamer and entertainer Marc! Great work!

[@robkozura]

I can already tell this is going to be a banger!

[@SomeCanine]

That last game was intense. That protoss player was playing his butt off. If he had some photon canons in his bases he would have easily won that in the long game by ramping up the mech.

[@Necrocidal]

48:04 It was at that moment, that he knew he f---ed up

[@jean-olivierthibault8834]

The freeze screen at 32:18 is just awesome! Uthermal's face is just worth it!

Congrats on 20k+ subs!

[@jonathanbody3890]

So awesome, loving it!

[@TheCabarro]

To be honest, the "be annoying" strategy is quite good in many situations; I usually end up winning almost all my games against zerg in this way: just taking attacks everywhere, being swarmed incessantly while trying to resist and counterattack with ghosts, until the other player gives up!

[@illustriouslaz]

As a long time StarCraft 1 player I just want to tell you I love your videos. I love the commentary as you play and I'm in awe of just your skill and knowledge of the game and strategy.

[@luckylarry71]

"Annoy someone to submission" sounds both like a really fun and very challenging idea for a show, you know...

[@balazsfenyes3880]

Marc will see blink stalkers in his dreams but his opponent... He will have flashbacks of nukes for his entire life.

[@adnank4458]

Great video as always

[@leeyu8619]

video lives up to the title. definitely an incredible game. uThermal doing mission impossible as side quests

[@alexflake7513]

I feel like neosteel plating for the improved bunkers and building armor might be worth it when you end up going into a macro game - especially against zerg.

The last game is literally the most intense game I've ever watched. I hoping u win and afraid of u losing your entire army to every disrupter shot, It got my nerve harder than any grand final match of tournaments. It's like winning boxing with both hands and feet tied. Almost overwhelmed, the protagonist always comes back with wit and persistence.

[@petarpetrov777]

Excelentes videos. Saludos from Perú 🇵🇪

[@jasonyu9967]

If you're banking minerals and have supply to spare, you can try spamming SCVs to help tank in fights against stalkers

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

subbed. this is like 5th video and ur mad chill with it. i dont even play star craft like that, its insane to see how fast u build and how u respond under pressure. keeep doing ur thing. grilled cheeses be nice too lmao (wait so u on purpose dont use any other unit?

[@jeffreyboone9450]

yeah, he's challenging himself to get to grandmaster only using ghosts. if he were to use every possible unit he'd be stomping everyone he's playing against right now since his main account is probably 1500+ mmr higher

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

@@jeffreyboone9450 wowwww

[@ClearAlera]

He does challenges where he limits himself to certain units/strats and tries to get grandmaster with them. In this particular challenge he's only allowing himself to build ghosts and medivacs.

24:15 you can put a spray on first 3-4 bases with scouting SCV, or several sprays in first 2 bases. Either way works lovely in metal-league, I'm interested to see how it works in GM

[@bjrn2010]

I remember the EMP on orbital games, those were great games. Prefer the EMP on the Oracles game more though, observer snipes have been awesome too. TvP is so much fun to watch, TvT on the other hand is pure torture.

Hey Marc, love your content - heres a silly? challenge : take both gases at your natural and put 3 scvs in both before even starting your second CC xD This should apply for your third etc as well

[@michaelmichaelsen3472]

[@echofarm5237]

good job as always. need more gas. need more gas for the nuke. have too much money, need more gas. didn't even use mule but was filthy rich. wish you could mule gas.

[@IronHulkTriathlon]

I've nuked this guy (Whiskey Jack) in 4v4s where he is trash talking ... pretty fun. Can share replays along with many others. I typically nuke 4-8 nukes at once, trying to wipe out their entire base in one go.

[@jeremiahcampbell2]

You have had a bunch Ghost games that have been amazing during this series. You should edit together a highlight reel.

[@m.lebedev1493]

22:11 you could've walked away from the AFK observer (towards the natural choke) instead of trying to snipe it tho Also you could do phase 1.5 where you can add 1 raven just to snipe those pesky perverts XD

[@sandere9563]

Yeah, I would be fine with another unit to counter observers or a tank as base defense, as long as attacking = nukes only

[@Telorchid]

That last game tho!!!! Nailbiter.

[@gcl2783]

Prolonged exposure to cloaked ghosts apparently causes nerve damage in terrans.

[@aarongazzaniga1929]

Vs Whiskeyjack the reason they retreated around 37:50 was because your turret killed the observer

[@lynk_1240]

Game three was awesome!

[@havel6060]

mass ghost is prob one of the most fun challenge in the series

[@jeeeeeeeeeeezus]

First game: at the end there he had a ghost in his base, he has no scan again, probably frustrated to hell lol.

[@MrNightfate]

why he do lot of command centers? just for the scanners?

[@colts500ind]

I know Nukes are resource intensive, but it seemed the nukes you used to zone his stalkers were effective at deterring him from continuing his push. Having a few ghosts strategically placed in nooks and cranies to provide surprise zoning nukes could be effective. I can't help but think if you added in mineral intensive units (like marines) you'd could fill out your supply and be able to deal with blink stalkers better. (and it might be a semi-legit build at that point)

[@Neront90]

Legit build but not legit challenge, marines so good you can do marines to gm

[@Gnolomweb]

best casting.... AND he's playing? EPIC

[@Scawtsauce]

pretty sure the behind and front nuke at same time is the ultimate strat

[@Scawtsauce]

pick up ghost with medivacs to dodge disruptor. your welcome for this rare tip.

[@jayjacobl4667]

since you have so many minerals late game, is it worth it to just bunker up like crazy, like zerg do with spine/spore crawlers? makes it easier for you to trade against disruptors also since you have so much money to burn, maybe you can just build random floating buildings to hide the nuke dot underneath? not very cost effective or fast, but you're finishing the game with several thousands in minerals!

[@TheGuruStud]

but they're always out of range

[@Necroneer]

That third game was so difficult.

[@ScottOstr]

A medivac full of cloaked ghost should clock the medivac

[@jakubleitner9159]

[@faithful451]

Lol the last game: we've won, but at what cost?

[@colinbowman8816]

such a big economy in that last game. I wonder if he built as many barracks as he did CCs, would he have just been able to attack walk across the map? Seems he was hovering around 120-130 supply the whole time.

[@uThermal]

There's no gas to make more ghosts ^^ thats the main problem

[@colinbowman8816]

Oh of course. I missed that very important detail entirely.
