Uthermal: I'm extremely unhappy, I'm the unhappiest I've ever been in a long time. Uthermal 4 seconds later: Ok, I'm fine now.

I liked the pop up with your opponents name and rank. That’s some good production quality thermi.

@faithgrins 11 ай бұрын

I deeply appreciate that you're making good on that promise to go into tournaments with the mindset of being wacky and surprising. I don't even think the last two matches were that bad. You made a good defend both times; the only real issue is that you didn't pick a strong followup to it. That's really just your relative inexperience with Protoss. Give it a few more months of committing to random and you'll get a much better sense of it. Hope the other projects you're working on turn out to be fun and let you re-energize some!

Thanks for a great year of videos, man. There's no shame in slowing down if you have to. I'm sure we'd all rather you posting a few high quality videos a week than burning out trying to push an unrealistic schedule.

Thanks for all of your videos, Its some of my favourite SC2 content on YT. Your commentary while you play and learn strats is super entertaining. Make as many videos as you have time to make and edit man, you have to get some time to live your life!

I‘m writing this before the games, i love that after the last tournament where you said you rather loos playing with your own style, the next tournament is played with random. Also dont stress yourself, stay healthy and happy, that‘s the most important thing

@Dohyden2 10 ай бұрын

Aww Marc, yeah those games against Special were hard. Also This is a new experience as a random player, that is, getting a race you don't want to get. Right at the start of game 2 against Special you already had a defeated mind. You did lift yourself up for a great early game defence, watching you defend against those two Reapers and a Helion was great! But lifting yourself up again used so much energy. I think learning to play races you don't feel like playing is going to be a hard thing about playing random. Thank you for being vulnerable and talking about how you really felt about those games. A lot of your fans, me included, can feel the same way when we loose games and seeing how you worked through it was really cool. I am really looking forward to seeing more of your games, and more tournament games as Random.

@Jabullz 10 ай бұрын

As an outside observer I can see how knowing who you are going to play effects your games even before you play them. I haven't played since broodwar but your sc2 videos are really fun to watch and have been for a few months now. The games against Special were the same kind of thing that shook you in the 500k tourney as well.

@Jonte22001 11 ай бұрын

brother all your videos are awesome and thank you sooooo much for the amazing content ! I appreciate it so much and it gave me hours and hours of enjoyment. I don't even play SC2 anymore but your upbeat and genius way to approach this game have made me smile so many times ! I don't care if there are going to be less videos, I'm gonna watch all of them for sure ! I have the utmost respect for your work ethic and the insane output but you need to be and stay happy so put yourself first

@mgelbart 11 ай бұрын

The reduced schedule makes total sense. Good to do it sustainably! I have a suggestion which is to try a way more difficult challenge where you definitely can't make it to GM. And example could be "SCVs only to Diamond!". With turrets, planetaries and SCVs, you could probably win against bronze/silver/gold. Maybe more?! Can we find out?! For me, getting to see real games in the lower levels would be fun for variety, rather than having all the content at GM/pro level. Lower league players just provide a different type of entertainment for the viewer, and seeing how you handle such an insane challenge would be really cool.

@brandonsaffell4100 11 ай бұрын

Random really feel like a strong fit for how you want to play. Looking forward to seeing how far you can push it.

@tom4972 10 ай бұрын

Mate I was terrified when you said you're taking a step back because I love your videos, they're often my key to destressing after work and I've become very attached to your shenanigans. You're a wonderful human being though and we all want you to be happy and healthy so I'll happily take just a couple videos a week to ensure you're enjoying life. Best of luck with whatever you end up doing and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hey uThermal, Iam so impressed with how your mindset keeps pivoting. You learn lessons very well, and your ideas on where to go are top notch. Don't worry about getting tilted, because you have to have down days in order to have great days, its just part of the process. We appreciate you, no matter the win/loss ratio, and are with you on the journey. Onwards and upwards

Very happy to hear you’ll be slowing down the content, we’d hate for you to get burned out and just want you to do whatever feels best 😊 Plus, less videos means I can finally catch up on other SC2 content creators

Take care of yourself, dude. Do what you must to keep your head positive, your life good, and your love of the game strong.

Hey Thermy. Since you have so many builds to worry about when playing random, why not write down your builds on a little sheet. You can also write down some variations. So if your opponent does X you do Y. That sort of thing. That way you're ready. I know you can do it. I believe in you. You're the best.

@garion046 10 ай бұрын

Dude, slowing down is 1000% fine. Many channels have a 1 vid a week (or less) schedule and that's fine, just do what you need to do, especially if it means new cool projects. Personally, i can't keep up with watching all your content anyway. I sometimes have to skip vids, so less is probably a win for me! Ps. Your ability to step back from a tilted situation and analyse it and recover your mood is awesome. It's not easy to move a mindset like that, i admire your ability to do it.

Top 8 is pretty good! Shame about random giving you mostly Protos, would have been cool to see a bit more variety, but that's hardly your fault. I'm glad you are scaling back on the daily videos as I'd rather you keep doing what you are doing and enjoying it rather than burn out. Happy holidays everyone:)

In my opinion, resting days are very important. I follow so many channels and I hardly see any of them doing daily videos. Even for news channel, they take Sat and Sun off. You should do only 3-4 videos a week, and get some rest on your weekend. Dont burn out.

@Gattsu5 11 ай бұрын

My only gripe with random is that it seems to be so heavily biased towards protoss, which makes it somewhat predictable (vs. a balanced 1/3 chance of getting any race), so playing random has less of an impact on opponents than it should
