Ghost to grandmasters has been the best SC2 content I’ve ever seen! Love the content. Too many big plays to count! Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@uThermal]

Yooo thank you!! :D

[@justdaniel3510]

35:20 he typed "retard" in russian Marc: idk what that means I guess it's gg Lol :D

[@waynetie7162]

Marc, your videos from the challenges to Terran school to the 7v1 AI challenge have been so awesome. I don’t think I’ve missed a single video in months. Your personality and commentary really shine. Just wanna show you support and keep up the good work!

[@milletmongoose]

Well said!

Marc is pretty much the only SC2 content I actually enjoy watching these days.

[@Supergoon1989]

And Lowko as well. BeastyQT used to be really good too.

[@Ben-gd1so]

Harstem makes great SC2 youtube content if you like uThermal's vibe.

[@luckylarry71]

Never missed a single episode of this series. After going 'barcode' it kicked off and Marc refined it to perfection in the end. Also, felt like those high MMR gm's almost all seemed clueless as to what to do, because Marc knew what the generic tactics and responses are at this level, so he could plan several steps ahead. Nukes were obviously glorious, but I really appreciate the 'black-ops' approach of proxying Ghosts, EMP-ing enemy casters and buildings, causing havoc and confussion, while workers died like flies to coordinated right-clicks and snipes. Very cinematic, action-packed series with superb presentation and commentary 👏👏👏

[@momom6197]

I've been watchung Marc's eyes while he plays... The frequency with which he checkes the minimap is terrifying.

[@power2084]

I haven't got the minimap unlocked. I think mine is a DLC.

[@MultiChrisjb]

wait, there's a minimap?

[@squirreluh]

38:05 The tech lab and assimilator both have a vision radius of 9. The vision radius is centered at the middle of the building, unless it's 2x2 (tech lab), then it is centered on the topright cell. The assimilator has a whole column to the left of it's vision center, whereas the tech lab doesn't have anything to the right of it's vision center, so the tech lab could see the assimilator without itself being spotted. It's a good thing you chose to make it 1 cell to the left!

[@zachjones7745]

I think the best end for a ghost/nuke run would be an apocalyptic nuclear fallout we shall call it "nuclear rain" which means you play a game until you have the map mined out or fully Saturated with bases then call in no less than 10+ nukes at once hopefully more towards 20+ and if that's too difficult then just 10-20 nukes at once in general

[@Stormsong93]

The personality. The content. The energy. Damn, this is the best SC2 content I've seen, and the only starcraft content I watch is brood war ASL!

[@zeljko7386]

I didn't feel this much hype since i had to run to toilet during favorite show on tv while commercials where on. That kid like happyness is what we live for. Just..look at that. As someone who likes this game very much since it's roots but unable to play much because of work, this is kinda dream come true. Honestly, thank you Marc

[@lyall3000]

Extraordinary content again & all extremely worthy games for the grand finale. that wreaking of an attempted toss void ray proxy was a masterpiece. Great work.

[@devin6272]

you have inspired me to try ladder. i went into a 4v4 unranked and played terran thinking i was going to turtle and then it hit me. nukes. i got 125 nuke kills in 2 minutes. thanks mate.

[@CoalitionGear]

So glad I found your channel from Lowko’s cast. Great fun, gameplay, attitude, casting, and commentary.

[@alexandredornellas2319]

Suicide solution strategy: when u nuke a place, the enemy will try to find your ghost. With 2 ghosts, u nuke the enemy and nuke above the ghost that is biking the enemy. With some luck they might find the first ghost and will engage to kill him, when suddenly the suicide nuke land.

[@kirktown2046]

uThermal, please consider continuing heavy usage of ghosts - It really is such a Terran treat. Even if it's not a 100% mass ghost build, these ghost games have had the most satisfying moments.

[@jamesyork5444]

+121 MMR is so unbelievable oh my god!! Congrats, so cool!! Grand finale is special. I think if you gain MMR the next episode, especially a bunch, we need overtime. An overtime regular episode, or a third episode of grand finale, because we need to see how high we can go. This has been an incredible journey, thank you

[@Arctyr]

Incredible grand finale, every game was wild. It's crazy how somehow the end of every series ends up with insane games.

[@MrDenniswals]

Marc, a compilation of moments where you explain how you could win fights would be nice. You explain everything so clearly but the moments where you say:"Guys we could win this"before the fight still eludes me. Geweldige serie trouwens ik heb echt genoten van de ghost challenge!

[@bencheevers6693]

Edit2: Now that I've finished the episode, I have to say, this was fricken hype AF and I never talk like that I don't know if it's possible so use your discretion but I love the floating barracks into toss base and pump out a couple ghosts, emp probes and make them cry, I mean it's an auto lose if you miss and you have your ghost building out on the map but if you think it's doable or there is a good map for it then it would be funny, I figure there is no way because it's so automatic to put a pylon in your base for vision especially against reapers so maybe this is a stupid comment. Edit: Nevermind, you killed it in that fifth game, exactly what I wanted to see, that was amazing! I think gas has less vision than regular buildings, in SCBW the assimilator has one more vision range than refinery and extractor but I think they made it all the same in SC2

[@lilkoolaidbro]

RIP every SCV and probe sacrificed in the making of this dope video. That poor Protoss at the end got his probes destroyed twice....at the same base!! nuts lol

[@leeyu8619]

after watching so many episodes from many ytbers, this series is my favorite. job well done. incredible. id love to see maybe some nostaliga challenges where u come bak to this again. ghost is by far my fav

[@cheesypuffs1342]

when I was in platinum league, I honestly felt like this was how protoss players play 40:56 they don't even use their mouse, just rub their hands together menacingly like a villain proxying 2 robos, or proxy stargate/gateways, dts then just F2 & A move

[@RoyalFusilier]

The sort of thing just proves what you can do when motivated, which is essentially anything.

[@LikaiKuroi]

putting out some great content lately

[@arnaudreisse1600]

I was casually rewatching some episodes of the Ghost to Grandmaster series as I was waiting for the Grand Finale and I just noticed that I didn't miss a single one of your videos in the past 7 months and I was mind blown. I was already a sub from a year and half ago I guess when you made a video on the brick strategy against zerg with marine stimpack timing attack and I just noticed that it has been that long already since I started following you. Thanks for the video, Ghost to grandmaster was such a banger !

[@FargoFred]

I can tell you Marc, I started watching your channel because of the ghost challenge and have literally watched every episode since ha

[@davidwebster6081]

That first game was so insane!! The micro was so incredible, and the nuke into insta-gg was SATISFYING.

[@arcadiatf2]

You should try to go for a full surround of nukes, where you just launch 4 and the army can't escape. Those were some of my favorites from the series

[@nviorres]

What have i just watched? Best SC2 content of the year hands down, surely the best challenge based content of the decade.

[@NicolasJRoy]

Hey Marc, Loved the vid as usual! One of my favourite builds is the proxy ghosts by lifting tax into their main. so funny seeing a protoss losing all probes to two cloaked ghosts. I know it's probably much harder or impossible at this mmr but if there's a likely game I'd love to see that. Cheers from Australia

I think that a crossover wit-h some other challenge builds could be really fun, espe'cially for grand finale. Penguin brothers was a very interesting build, and probably the funniest.

You have become my favorite sc2 streamer. Simply put. I love how much fun you are having. And how surprised you seem every time something goes amazingly right! Keep it up. You earned a sub. Which is something I’m pretty stingy about giving.

[@macschut]

Love your show uThermal. Quite the sportsman indeed, and knowledgeable of the game I might add. Watch and learn! You should absolutely be doing something like a 5 quadillion IQ nuke again in the grand finale part 2. Where's the red dot? :-D These multipronged attacks with cloaked ghosts, visionary tactical nukes on moving armies, a bit of micro and some surprises look like a great strategy to me. And it is exciting to see if they land :-)

@@uThermal That's good to hear! It was very educational watching his early streams cuz at first he was pretty derpy, but then he focused on 1 thing each day like control groups on Q & W for late game harassing, or control group tanks to target fire banes. He got really good & I think I saw Optimoose, you and 1 other EU pro vs Innovation, and 2 other Koreans during a tournament. Innovation lost the reaper micro too XD. good times

[@harriecarabatsakis7504]
