Planetary Fortress Rush Is SICK On The New Maps (Ep #10)

[@daviderwin1204]

Most uThermal comment ever: "If you don't mind I'm going to take more care of myself. Actually, I'm sorry guys, even if you do mind I'm still going to take more care of myself." Your grand master status extends far beyond Starcraft.

[@soulofshukaku]

It's always fun to be extra careful about words.

[@zeefodt2072]

Words of a man that truly cares about him self, his content and his viewers. We will always be patient and enjoy your videos whenever they arrive in!

[@FTCoconutman]

Good to have you back! Always put your own health before our entertainment!

[@Deipnosophist_the_Gastronomer]

Aye. Take care of yourself. 👍

[@rashidpereira3650]

Like Always!

[@frankdev]

Was gonna do my own comment but you said it better and more concisely.

[@balinshaia9694]

For making my days so much more entertaining!

[@uThermal]

That's insane!! Thank you mate :D

[@FreshTopEnd]

I love how he has a full blown heart to heart convo while doing a planetary rush 😂 hope u slow down and feel better!

[@roguegargoyle914]

People make full talking head videos, he done that while playing a high MMR PF rush on maps he'd hardly played on. Awesome stuff

[@jdiaz8933]

Marc is great!

[@Catman_CM]

Sometimes, you need a little "Ckicken Soup for the Soul" to go with all the salt he's mining with these PFs >_>

[@brabhamfreaman166]

1:40 UThermy, *you’re* amazing. For your honesty, thoughtfulness and sheer grit and determination at not only conquering your inner demons, but speaking so openly and forthrightly about your experiences. It stands as a beacon of hope for all of us who’ve grappled with our own mental and emotional barriers and pain (including those who currently *are*). It’s a glimpse in the window of your soul; and, for sure, makes your usual upbeat & enthusiastic YT persona all the more impressive and infectious! Thank you.

[@Pkedya2boy]

The legend has returned! Please take care of yourself, Marc. I'd much rather you be a healthy person and happy over our enjoyment any day. You've already brought so much joy to us in the past year.

[@LongStrider42]

Welcome back! I hope you got the rest you needed on your break.

[@tewpski]

Glad to see you back. Take all the time you need. We'll be here still.

[@gcl2783]

All for record videos at your leisure, because the viewers enjoy them at theirs.

welcome back amigo! :D

[@DrMJJr]

Thermy, as everyone has already said, we’re ecstatic seeing you back AND in good health. But more importantly do whatever you need to in order to be happy!!! 😘😘😘

[@spectralace314]

“What got changed this patch?” Proceeds to list almost every unit changed except the Cyclone he heavily used minutes before.

[@michal888ful]

I'm not sure what is better: 1. Having you back 2. Hearing that you are better now 3. Hearing that you will take more care od yourself:) 4. Watching you win 3 games in a row in one of the best series I ever seen on StarCraft KZbin. It is fine to have less video weekly if you will need break, and if anyone think differently, they don't deserve to watch your videos:) kudos for being honest:)

[@Rukyda]

I think my favorite part of watching you, is watching casters after I've watched one of your videos. Their disbelief at the things you do after hearing you talk it out as it unfolds pure awesomeness. Premium content, thank you. Keep your spirits up and take care of yourself.

[@PhuVinh030609]

"There we go! The ghosts have fallen!" "Raise hands showing victory sign" - Uthermal after killing roaches with ghosts and winning ...

[@thenonsequitur]

Also earlier in that same match he said, "I'm going to research cloak for my roaches".

[@chrisgriffith1573]

When you find yourself trying to get goals met every single day, then the pressure makes it more stressful day to day, and that takes a toll. It adds up over time. When you remove the pressure, the day to day seems less critical, and the energy you have builds, rather than diminishes. I am so glad you are taking care of yourself, KZbin is not worth sacrificing you health for! Love what you do for us all, and good luck in the future!

[@blue-phoenix115]

6:12 Would be cool if he started mining the gold with the PF

[@KyleMc16]

I was expecting it. Surprised it didn't happen.

[@Rakstawr]

Love PF2GM! Hope you feel better bro! We are all behind you 💯

[@mikemcintosh9933]

Great SC content. Also thanks for speaking about the importance of mental health! Some of us grew up in times/places where speaking about mental health was taboo. Thrilled to see this changing.

[@TheGrogros]

You the man uthermal…. You bring so much joy to people through your channel

[@hanumint]

I'm glad you took care of your mental and physical health and took a break. That said, I didn't even know you had taken a break since I only follow you on youtube and the uploads kept coming, but I do try to give you my amazon twitch prime sub when I remember. Keep on keeping on Marc. Your videos bring me a lot of joy. I still credit my first ever GM finish to the Protoss build I copied from you that gave me a 70%+ win rate.

[@joelferrer2513]

Even though I'm a few years older than you, whenever I watch one of your videos I feel like a kid again watching an older sibling/cousin play a game while they walk me through what they're doing. Your videos seriously help me end my day once the kids go to bed and the chores are done. Whatever cadence you decide to do videos on you have a loyal viewer here!

[@theomnificient]

New challenge idea: Tower Defense! 1. You can build whatever you want inside your main base, but the only buildings you are allowed to build outside of your main base are planetary fortresses, bunkers, missile turrets and sensor towers. 2. Attack-Move is not allowed. You must regular-move your units to where you want them, then they must hold position. 3. Attacking is only allowed while holding position, and once a unit holds position, you cannot move them from that position ever again by any means. 3a. Workers and Medivacs are exempt from the hold position rule, and you can move and use them however you want. Love all your videos! Stay awesome and stay curious!

[@loganpatterson4419]

Thank you for prioritizing your mental health and sharing that part of yourself with us, it enourages people to be open about their own brain health and prioritize themselves first. Proud of you thermy!

[@xmrmeow]

Great to have you back! These X to GM series are just so great. Before I saw your videos, my impression that the higher up on the ladder you want to go, the more boring and homogenous your build and strat has to be. After seeing many of these series though, you've clearly shown that if you have enough mechanical skill, game sense, and you're just good at coming up with a solid build, you can work your way up pretty close to the top by playing any fun wacky idea you come up with. In every competitive game I've ever played, whether it be SC2, Dota, card games, fps, etc I've always quickly gotten bored of doing the "meta strat" and would rather win less frequently doing a fun and unique strategy I came up with than just do what everyone else says, so it's amazing to see that's doable to such a high level in SC2

[@MerlynMusicman]

After a few YEARS of stagnancy you've reignited the passion for SC2 your content is exciting, different, and your attitude is exemplary (so chill) :) All the best :D

[@vananything]

Minutes after I watched the last proxy hatch video where you explained to the guy how to hold a spine rush, I got proxy-hatch spine rushed and held it! Silly as the builds are, I’m learning lots from watching you. And it’s actually fun. (Lots of the “learn StarCraft” channels feel like doing homework, to me.) So thank you. Take care of yourself! I’ll keep watching, whatever the release schedule is.

[@genehenson8851]

Happy to have you back in. Also, I really appreciate your candor with mental health. I’ve struggled with this too but come from a generation where it wasn’t really talked about. People like you are moving humanity forward in a wonderful way. ❤❤

[@luckylarry71]

The consistency of releasing new videos daily is a promise that's hard to keep, but the content is fire, so maybe making the videos a bit longer would be feasible? We just can't get enough :D

[@TerryKristopher3707]

I feel like that would be a good in-between that wouldn't add much more work editing wise.

[@DiscipleofVenser1992]

Good to see you in better spirits and focusing on yourself. And it's cool to hear your honesty both out of game and about the game strategies.

[@HCGamingTV]

I really enjoy your videos and your positivity. I'm not playing SC2 but watching your videos is so amusing. Glad your back creating more content.

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

I get that way when I get sick back to back. It sucks with kids in school even worse since germs are always getting spread around, and no matter how hard you try it just hits everybody. I get burned out with work, helping with wife's work on my off hours, and kids. I have such a bad habit of wanting to do more than I can do and it overwhelms me and makes it more likely for me to get sick anyway! And honestly, your content and the length of these is a nice break for me, just sit back and drink some coffee in the morning, and take a breather. Thanks for all the content and take good care of yourself and know that everybody would rather you be healthy and happy than forcing yourself to do more than you should as well. -- a SC player that hasn't played since SC in 2001

[@deburgeRa]

Seeing you happy and playing makes me happy. You are my favorite SC2 guy. Only play when it feels good man.

[@scottcressman934]

I'm pretty new to your channel, I started watching your vids maybe a few weeks ago, but I gotta say I'm really glad to hear you're being mindful of your mental health and taking the right steps to take care of yourself! You make great content which we all appreciate, but your health is way more important and I think most people understand that! Wishing you the best :)

[@shiningyrlife]

I'm not really into playing StarCraft with other folks, just AI - it's my laid-back way of having fun. And guess what? I came across your channel right around the time my little one came into the world. Now, you're making those bottle-washing sessions way more enjoyable. You take care, and here's to all the awesome things coming your way! Cheers! 🌟

[@uThermal]

Thanks a lot mate ^^

[@standurden9619]

I‘m a simple man, I see uthermo‘s video I press like

[@justjoshingya504]

In the second game I think putting forward sensor towers would've been op honestly. Having him isolated in that pocket of the map you could see every movement, would make a couple missile turrets around for vision as well, or 2 bunkers on both sides to massacre any flying troops or overlords. Same with having a couple vikings

[@jauken83]

Glad to see you, and glad to see more folks being honest about mental health and how important it is.

[@e5kimo]

dude, your videos have been so refreshing and funny in just the best way. please keep it up. always looking forward to your content

[@fergusonja8]

Whatever you gotta do to take care of yourself. You’re a great content creator and very entertaining person to watch playing StarCraft, commentating and your knowledge and skill is amazing as well. Glad to hear you’re doing better and it’s always great to see you enjoying your gameplay

[@nickgiles1991]

I found it took me till after 40 years old to realise that identity and self worth are so important... becoming comfortable with who you are and what you give to the world... You give a lot to many people sir, so please hold you head up high and know you are valued and valid

[@IamKnucks]

Look who's back. Uthermals backs. Look who's back look who's back look who's back.

[@nzdefrag]

@uThermal thank you for all your amazing content. I have had countless hours of fun watching your pro level antics. I would love to see a variant of this series where once a planetary is up you MUST build another planetary. And so on, once one is done the next has to begin… 😊

[@bernadettewalters4506]

Look after yourself uThermal. Not a starcraft player but absolutely love your content and love listening to your videos while I run around the house

[@wolvie90]

Dude you're not being silly. Feeling burned out is 100% human. You will never need to apologize for taking care of your own mental health to us, we understand. Nothing is more important than your own well-being. I'm not exaggerating when I say you are solely responsible for keeping my interest in SC2 alive with your challenges. I play maybe once every other month or so with my brothers on the team ladder, curing some really dank cheese but otherwise I wouldn't play at all. Take care of yourself Marc, nobody is more important than yourself. I hope you hade a nice vacation and I hope you and yours are feeling well. Thank you for being such an awesome dude!

[@ЛевЛокуциевский]

It's very interesting to see how your brain and decision making process work. Especially happy for your good mood. Your humor is really great! Thx!

[@kwood6013]

You're amazing uThermal. You give so much of yourself to your viewers and we appreciate it! Take care of yourself first and foremost.

[@zer0nix]

I wondered what happened to my Uthermal recs! I love your content Marc but I love knowing you're happy even more! You're such a cheerful guy that I never even suspected you might have a problem. I guess that's what makes a pro a pro! Even if you have trouble starting, once you do it is with full engagement and enthusiasm! I hope you get better! You're legit one of my favorite streamers (even though I only watch on KZbin)!

[@creatingmadness-r8w]

Very happy to hear you are doing better!

[@sharpie11112]

Happy to hear about your awesome vacation!

[@Dawindell]

5:45 should you have mined those rich minerals with the no-longer-repairing SCV's maybe? A unique feature of this map to buff PF rushes haha. And welcome back Marc!! NP on not uploading every day, though I swear you actually said that that WASN'T a promise, multiple times, earlier... in any case, we'll appreciate whatever content you want to put out :)

[@NotSoGentleJester]

Oh **** yeah Thermy, super stoked to have you back man! Just don't stress it and take your time, we'll be here, always!

[@GuilhermeKyoji]

Hello uTh! It's been years since I last played SC2, but I like to see some games here and then. I used to watch Harstem, but since I've found your content, I only watch you. Your videos are very awesome, funny and wholesome. So, yeah, welcome back! You're awesome! And I'm looking forward for more videos! Cheers from Brazil!

[@JMaNRegZ]

WELCOME BACK WE MISSED YOU SO BADLY IT HURTS!!!! I HOPE YOU ARE WELL!!! ALWAYS DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU. GO WITH YOUR GUT

^^ WHAT HE SAID!! Only in a moderate tone of voice.😄

[@faunbudweis]

I keep watching at 0,75 speed, it's just too hilarious, props to the guy who stumpled on this! :)

[@dardust7844]

Woop, welcome back! Appreciate the content and take it easy guy.

[@shufflecat3334]

I just want to say that I wholeheartedly support "when I feel like it" uploads. If you upload everyday, I will be super happy. If you don't upload a video on a particular day, I'll be happy that you're taking time for yourself. Just please always keep being you, and remember that we're here for you, both as fans of your content, and as supporters of you as a person. May our love float into your main and blast you with all the power of the salt cannon.

[@tomleszczynski2862]

You are one of three absolute value FUNctions that I know. Just an absolute gem of a human being.

[@seangriffin7803]

It's very important to manage your mental health.....so many people push away the warning signs until your health starts to break down. Good message to seek balance and put in the effort to take care of yourself 🙂

Always a good time when a new uThermal vid is out! This looks like a lot of FUN on the new maps.

Greetings from Portugal 😀😀. And greetings ftom a Portuguese viewer. Glad you loved your stay with us. Come back soon. Glad to ear your feeling better. Wish you the best.

[@davidhong6365]

Hey man I just want to say I really appreciate your videos and I want to encourage you. Take all the time you need for your mental health. You're the man!

[@kevinwells5812]

If you have to take some days off every once in a while, don't worry about it, uthermal! When I was a classroom teacher, I actually just used most of my sick days as mental health days, because I too was working crazy hours, and if I didn't do that, I would have COMPLETELY burnt myself out (instead of just somewhat). You have a LARGE backlog of YT videos (because you have been working so hard). I found that when you had taken some time off, I was able to visit previous series, so ... I was still able to "get my uthermal fix." Stay well, friend!

[@WesHazard]

Excellent content as always! And welcome back. Always always always take care of your health first, you can do nothing else without it. Starcraft and the people who appreciate all of your hard work will always be here whenever you get back from a needed break. Glad you got some rest & relaxation in, do it whenever you need. Thanks for all you do!

[@failureofagamer1051]

uThermal and anyone else struggling, I found some great mental health techniques in 2022. 1)cold/colder showers, it's taken me months but I'm officially off warm/hot showers and it's had a massive impact on my mental health. 2) waking up every morning and sitting outside for about 10minutes (never having coffee until about 1:30mins into my day - I'm a coffee addict so this one's been tough)...I guess these 2 or 3 things have helped me alot. Keep strong everyone! Ps you can watch Dr Andre Hubermans podcasts here on KZbin on various biohacking techniques...its wild how effective his research is when practised

[@mjxw]

Uploading every day is an insane schedule. Even a couple times a week is more than enough. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Keep up the good work, bud.

[@HMSPrinceofWales]

Since there are so many little changes to terran air units, i would love to see a revisit of Sky Terran to GM (for one episode).

[@Nathanael_Forlorn]

I am SO happy to listen to the first 2-3 minutes! whole-heartedly agree with everything you said. good that you recognised what went wrong and had the courage to fix it! As a content creator, it is not easy to step away. But you sound like you recovered a ton in the short amount of your absence. No need to push yourself so hard, even if it's alluring. Go for slightly less content and more sustainability and subsequently also quality.

[@DarthTigger]

@uThermal It is great to have you back, and I am glad to hear that you are going to take care to not burn out. Take care of yourself first!

[@itschrisperry]

Watching you proxy 2 rax reaper and micro them around the enemy base is some of my favorite content. Its actually nasty how good your reaper micro is.

[@5L4P5T1CK]

Hey Marc. Please let NOTHING ever get that far, that you feel the urge to do sth you dont exactly feel like doing. We genuinely appreciate your content - and please stay healthy. Nothing is more important than that. Feel you very much. I am recovering from a terrible burnout and I would be so happy not to see you experience that. Thanks for putting up a smile in my face with your videos !

[@scottkim7283]

hey marc, i was really sorry to hear what you've been going through... i'm a doctor myself (a generalist) and always happy to help a friend if you ever need that. i had to stop playing starcraft 12 years ago because it wasn't great for my health or for my family life, but that hasn't stopped me from following every gsl, dreamhack, wcs, and every other starcraft streaming event i can watch for the last twelve years. i follow you every day, and even as inspiring as your content is to me, i would rather know that you are well. be well...

[@michaelseanchang]

Ngl I've been spoiled by daily videos, I never believed that it was normal. Glad to hear that you're taking care of yourself.
