My favourite kind of game to watch and play is where both sides cheeses the living daylights out of each other and slowly somehow transition into a long game.

[@audunmeisingsetsorli7772]

I loooove it dud!

[@jkkim6928]

Ikr. HERE TAKE MY DALIGHTS

[@Randomchmkin]

This feels like a game where both sides are playing just for the sake of cheesing

[@gokublack8342]

But you players these days don't even know about cheese unless it's eco cheese. Back in my day 😂 (2010-2011 old days I'm a Starcraft 2 Boomer I suppose) you had to be good at doing and stopping cheese if you wanted to win this macro meta you guys do nowadays didn't happen back then because you'd get cheesed or all inned every game. Watching Uthermal certainly makes me feel nostalgic though

[@gokublack8342]

@Randomchmkin Cheese is life should've played back in the old days(2010-2011ish) most every game looked alot like this we werent as good at macro as the current players might be but there no shortage of cheesy nonsense we came up with. Many of the cheeses you see ppl doing nowadays we invented it

[@ilikedragons7928]

Both invisible and hallucinated . NOW I have seen everything in SC2. Next stop, StormGate.

[@ThueJanusKristensen]

Real life invisible pink unicorns...

[@bysebastiaan3106]

Never saw that either xD

[@ToastyKen]

@@ThueJanusKristensen Invisible pink giraffes!

[@Saren-yc1rk]

Imagine level of psychological pressure when you see this many invisible colossi They don't have to be real to do damage

[@AIRDRAC]

@@Saren-yc1rk Just ask Idra! He threw a major tournament game that he was winning, because he saw hallucinated Colossi and gg'ed out, back in 2011 :D

[@laobae]

Series of the decade. This was the craziest most fun series I can remember. No downtime, was on the edge of my seat every second lol

[@Alfamaxis]

Oh yeah, my man uThermal finally made it here

[@mh1593]

a few of his games have been on Lowko's channel

[@callin8827]

That is quite clever. Abusing the lack of Orbitals after a Planetery Rush by going for two different cloaked strategies. Very neat.

[@rickmedinac]

UThermal is so much fun to watch, and with you Lowko as commentator is the best video ever. Much appreciated. Btw, I liked the way the master cheeser got cheesed.

[@natecw4164]

Mad props to my boy Marc! People may get on him for his "to Grandmasters" content but the dude can play!! You try pulling that stuff off 😂

[@TheArtanis7]

uThermal -- you must give him credit for trying unusual stuff and make this game of Starcraft interesting.

[@oysteivi]

I wasn't able to catch any of uThermal's games. Thanks for casting!

[@alexanerose4820]

If you hink about it, Protoss has always been THE cheese race, I mean, have you seen their Nexus? It's basically a giant piece of Cheddar!

[@varoonb6593]

Thank you for more uThermal! So much fun to watch

[@maddog2314]

Micro Thermal vs Shadow nano. I love this series. They need to face off against each other more.

[@MrHappyChappyX]

I am such a huge fan of UThermal, but wow. ShaDoWn is on some serious gamer fuel to pull this off!

[@user-wi9pu1kr7u]

Thank you for more uThermal! So much fun to watch. I didnt want this series to end .

[@contemplate1789]

Was expecting this specific series when opening KZbin today! Knew Lowko would keep his word to cast it! Watched live 3 days ago - and now eager to do it again and hear your cast!

[@joediditde]

bro the halluzinated collossus under mothership cloak is next level because you dont even know what you're facing

[@herobrine_masecritcelmase741]

honestly, sometimes i wish this was the meta but at the same time if i ever had to play against this i would cry.

[@Kadaj0666]

What a great series ! I can't remember another one with that much cheese in it ! Also the tower rush at the end cracked me up ! Thanks for the video !

[@Willdreynolds870621]

that opening game was VICIOUS. line 'em up! my goodness

[@mido5126]

Wow Shadown is like the current Dark of Protoss, while Zest is away.

[@XtremeNinja2208]

absolute banger of a series, the seat edging kind. the suspense just never goes away

[@Koshak87]

Thermy might wanna control his PF’s targeting. This would make the rushes a grade better. Great games by both and great casting!

[@parkerdixon-word6295]

~~Shadown~~ *Both of these two* woke up and chose violence the day he played this series. With a side order of the Mike Tyson Wisdom "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."

[@TheDuckHasArrived]

Yea, uThermal is a funny guy. I'm watching his challanges almost everyday. It is really intersting way of playing SC2. Your units are often in unique situations and you can learn quite a bit about them and their capabilities. Nice video, btw :)

[@Big5ocks]

Damn, clutch ending! Not what I was expecting. Great games from both players!

[@buzzrot]

Gotta love these games. Wild stuff and entertaining

[@yoelezequieldemedici2545]

Mothership chasing a barrack... we saw magic here

[@elvin_771]

wild game, was very cool. thanks for your hosting at home story btw

[@the_andrewest_andrew]

9:32 thats a million dollars laugh hahahaha

[@stooned4428]

Oh wow very crazy game. Love it

[@Xingchen_Yan]

The cheesing keeping SC2 alive is like the animation style and wankiness keeping TF2 alive

[@alexthurston9940]

Been waiting for this one thanks for the quick upload!!

[@ShazbotDesign]

Alright.. This might be the G.O.T.Y. this year. I normally watch your videos to get drowsy and sleep even though I love SC2.. it somehow makes me sleepy. This game did not, I was wide awake watching every crazy move both of them made. Crazy game, great casting.

[@Ellwinss]

Uthermals channel is simply the best. Love that guys content

[@FinoClips]

lmao craziest pro series i've been in a while xD

[@michaelmcdowell8724]

That's pretty impressive! I thought uThermal was gonna take it!

[@soul8bounce]

Most entertaining series I've seen in a while

[@weixinguo8476]

Love you lowko! Keep it going

[@Compnerd2525]

These guys are really fun to watch.

[@Zemium1994]

[@dustinmorrison6315]

This series was fantastic.

[@josephsanon3570]

I definitely hit the like button on this one it definitely deserved it what a great game in series

[@DpNemo]

this is the most entertaining mach i have seen in years, i dont even care who wins

[@mikegagliano5343]

Best series are close match ups like this where it could go either way until the last battle

[@kaosce]

I would love to know the reaction of uThermal at the end of the second game 😂

[@squee222]

Hallucinated colossus was the icing on the cake

[@michaelaida8420]

"Who can juggle more balls at the same time..." *silence* 😂

[@jaysoncooley1865]

This is amazing. These two players are StarCraft heroes

[@jkkim6928]

Holy f. Last game was the funniest shit I’ve witnessed in the scene

[@PeterBressau]

Damn this was a crazy series... the 3 games felt like one whole roll of brie beeing handed over to a famous singer!

[@robinspanier7017]

imagine serral doing crazy challanges like uthermal, i would pay for this like for movies

[@vojtechnykodym9025]

Wow, what a game!

[@vanzetti3856]

Amazing game!! Gotta see uThermal face when losing like this.

[@Shazbot277]

i love watching uThermal play, always entertaining

[@twofish777]

That last game was peak starcraft

[@csw4ak]

Game #2 15:56 NICE ! ShaDoWn -- Master Cheese Level Achieved.

[@alanyoung159]

Always gonna be an interesting game with uthermal

[@chrisdaignault9845]

Is it really a proxy nexus if it’s further away from oppo than your main?

[@BluePatch-pc7sx]

Thank you sir, Happy 4th of July, America!!!

[@Daniel-rd6st]

Nice cast! I wonder is there a reason way Day 3 of the Homestory Cup 23 isnt available und Twitch TakeTV? I could sadly only find (and watch) day 1 and 2.

[@magiccop3588]

More uThermal games !!

[@shinsukaiosei7840]

Thermie be like: woe, cheese upon ye

[@JSp4wN]

I'll gladly hit the like button for a uthermal highlight video! 👍😁

[@BrickMasion]

That was a banger.

[@EC123z]

that was great

[@ApichartNakarungutti]

What is the meaning of 3 icons in the top right of the video at starting time (number 6, knuckle and spider in circle)?

[@lunanacomet]

how much paint chip do you need to eat to get to this series

[@sbash3003]

sick!

[@guyclykos]

hallucinated invisible lazer giraffes Wow

[@BlackMethos]

The Cheeser got outcheesed there.

[@SawyerKnight]

Oh Hi Marc!

[@Dakota_B_]

uThermal is hilarious

[@John-vp1ej]

This was ridiculously entertaining... absolute mayhem, just beautiful 🥲

[@PaWnAable]

Just so you know, I watched this on the tv in my livingroom.

[@jmsssx]

Nice game

[@ellomdian]

Match of the Year

[@DaddyDizz716]

uThermal is my favorite channel of the 500 I am subbed to…. Up there with WrestlingBios. Dudes awesome and funny af.

[@Pierre-gk5ky]

Fucking classic uThermal.

[@theogcursey9406]

I didnt want this series to end 😢

[@jayyrod1]

That's was awesome

[@mh1593]

Really cool to see your "Dutch viewer guide" rating.

[@ethanaleman]

Love Uthermal.

[@gokublack8342]

Probe rush is the weakest worker rush Drone Rush is the best way to do it (Zerg can make workers more quickly than the other races and can take an extra hit because of health regen) its better to do a worker rush with lings/Zealots/Marines etc Edit: And when you pull the boys you go all or nothing (you can leave a couple behind but that's it)

[@DazzlinFlame]

Wow I dont think I've seen that. Lack of detection he cannot fight against that meatgrinder.

[@milesbilleter4782]

Ya these games were awesome

[@Ghost-dx8mm]

UTHERMAL GOT SMOKED!

[@destructoidbot6426]

Hello There Happy 4th Everyone!!!!
