Hats off to the second guy, Guerter. Had a laugh at himself when he lost the early reapers to a mistake instead of raging at it. And then complimented your strat with the "NICE WP" after. That's nice to see well mannered peeps still.

[@3lapdog637]

Hey. Just so u know, I left my job about 6 months ago to take care of my mom. No details cause its awful. But every day, (almost,) you give me at least a 30 minute reprieve. I appreciate that so much. Your discourse, while you're playing, I marvel at, and it helps me adapt to my work with mom. I just thought you should know, I'd watch your vids regardless, but you bring a bright spot in my day. Your game play and insight are appreciated more than you know.

[@party4keeps28]

I hope he sees you comment. Good luck with everything.

[@eclipseeffigy]

Good luck homie, much love to your & your mom and hope the holiday season will bring you some good tidings. ❤

[@christianhornlimann3079]

Stay strong brother. May the dirty strategies and the insane builds give you some much needed rest. 💖

[@JamesSkemp]

16:48 I really liked this person; didn't rage quit and typed during and after the match.

[@ralphm4132]

Yep! Full credit to Guerter, who displayed excellent sportsmanship! ♥

[@mjlyons13]

Today on the ladder I went to Planetary cheese just like in this video on a Zerg. After I built the ENG bay in his base I sent another SCV to my natural and saw....a proxy hatch in my natural - with two drones! It was awesome!! So I turned my main CC into the planetary and built marine tank FTW! Confirmed after the match the other player was another channel viewer. Cool to have them encounter in the wild!

[@RD-rm6qm]

Not gonna lie I think this is my favorite challenge yet

[@heinrichhilgenbecker2819]

This and sky terran. This is just so crazy it's awesome, but I am a sucker for speed banshee play

[@____GoMeZ____]

@@heinrichhilgenbecker2819 Sky Terran was awesome ngl

[@mgelbart]

Came here to say this! Ghost my second fav but this takes the cake for me!

[@overthinker8706]

This one is great, but for me nothing beats Sky Terran.

[@ToiletTennis]

I appreciate that you don't lie

[@andyshoemaker6225]

Love the classy manners not going for that second reaper when he was typing.

[@rafigreen6312]

"now we're going to play massively behind, but that's ok". What we love about you Thermy♥️

[@Broformist]

Sounds like regular TvZ to me.

[@ChezzyKnytt]

About the ebay block: you could leave it on 99%, which might dissuade the enemy from bothering to attack it early (if they think its giving you no value and is going to be cancelled anyway). Then when you pf, rush an scv in to finish the ebay

[@party4keeps28]

That's a good idea. Edit: During the last game, at 20:38, he actually says that's what he's going to do next time. Good call though.

[@caliperstorm8343]

I love all these little tips and tutorials you include in your videos. I don’t even play SC2 anymore, but it’s still interesting to know how these strategies are preformed.

[@moosiemikebalerado9077]

Would love to see you load up SCVs into the CC's when you fly them in. Would also like to see the mechanic used more when the PFs built. Popping out for some runby quick repairs or whatnot. Love this challenge, keep em coming!

[@gcl2783]

Salt cannon? more like Salt Fortress.

[@Acct1941]

The vs Zerg planetaries are mind-boggling, great job. I would LOVE to see a neosteel rush with 10 SCVs loaded. I have tried it many times, but with your multitasking it might be possible?????? Cheers

[@Dawindell]

Gotta love uThermal content ^_^. Also if you're not subscribed, go ahead and do it! We'll get a special episode for hitting 75k I'm sure and we're already super close :D.

[@anthonyrepetto3474]

Beautiful! And, to add a wrinkle to the strat: When you've built the CC proxy, then start building a few SCVs from it, while you wait for your hellions and e-bay, and then when you lift the CC to the middle-forward position, to split the enemy's bases, then you *also* have those few extra SVCs *LOADED* in the CC, ready to pop and build a bunker/repair. Reapers hop in & out of the bunker, hellions get a few hp more survivability, and if you can *WALL* their natural with the PF and bunker, supply depot, then they can't ling-surround. Good luck to GM!

[@kozatas]

Can you fast-forward replay the matches in his POV when you suspect consequent blind counters?

[@AXharoth]

yes he could

[@RossRadikSherman]

That first game was a bit suspicious.

[@videoboysayscube]

@@RossRadikSherman Not really. The overlord could have scouted the first CC. And once you know your opponent is playing cheesing, it's logical to scout the rest of the map.

[@ronratliff8320]

this would be incredible. nice catch

[@EnbiRTS]

@@videoboysayscube yup agree.l I even scout most of the map in an obvious standard macro game, every 2 or 3 minutes with a ling

[@IronPickle420]

I hope Guerter sees this but he was a very GM (good mannered) opponent 😊

[@jerds9293]

Don't forget to build SCVs for repair at the forward PFs! Didn't need to transfer 3 from base in game 1.

[@xitaris5981]

Sheesh I want to see the replay of that first game to verify he didn't map hack. There's no indication on your minimap that he had any units in the area to scout the first CC

[@RD-rm6qm]

Overlords have 1 more vision range than Terran buildings and scvs tho so he probably saw it with the overlord

[@chezeus1672]

he saw the scv go away in a weird angle. i'm the absolute worst at spotting proxies, and even i would have sent the overlord that was already in position to check there. at 4k+ mmr, this definitely doesn't look like maphack.

[@RobinLundqvist]

don't care what anybody says that second CC scout is sus

[@pDrake01]

Actually spawner an additional overall early in the game. So, he had two overlords, 1 went left side going down to uThermal's base and the other went straight down going left to Terran base.

[@WhitePointerGaming]

@@RobinLundqvist Yeah exactly it's that scout of the 2nd one that raises some alarm bells. He had zero reason to check that location.

[@Fantasyman5000]

This and the 6 minute Rush is my Fav. Well done!

[@Sparky31388]

UThermal deserves 1 million subscribers! Let’s get him there! This content is Rich mineral gold!

[@Bobbyblack6]

HAHA that intro made me lose it. "ITS TIME TO BRING BACK THE SALT CANNON!" LOOOOOOOOL

[@nicklindberg90]

The lads a madman. Thanks for this series!

[@laterlater6882]

This challenge is beautiful. I love the creativity of making silly or sub optimal work, especially with such a flare. I'd like to suggest PF rush followed up by proxy starport landed vikings or medivac elevator for tanks when you manage to land it in the main. Another idea would be to kick it off with your infamous bunker rush from mass marine to gm challenge, to keep opponent off balance long enough to make it work. I'd appreciate if you'd at least let me know what you think or seeing my backseat gaming ideas come into life. Always love your content Marc!

[@Mentherex]

I used to love planetary rushing years ago, I barely ever won with it but it was fun. Used to love adding bunkers turrets and tanks to it too for like a small forward base

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Do you remember when you could "last second change race" as the game was starting? So many players in SC1 would change their race last second and fool their opponent... It was a twist on random for sure!

[@augustuswilhelm907]

25:10 sick doubletime freestyle rap at the end

[@elishastevens5227]

Thermy, this challenge and proxy hatchery are SO GREAT! Love the creativity.

[@void_star_void]

The second game CC fly in was some Hollywood action movie moment IMO :) hartstikke leuk

[@1am2strong4you]

15:01 some nice manners by Thermy

[@jeremymbuss]

Is lifting the engi bay before it starts burning worth considering?

[@CplSpider]

Such a fun challenge to watch play out. Keep em coming uThermal! 😁

[@robbysimpson3707]

loving this series. with all of the greedy players you're going up against, maybe the next series should be a Greed Is Good challenge? would love to see some super greedy builds.

[@Dr_Baphomet]

I absolutely love whacky builds and this challenge series is one of my favourites for sure, I would really love another rendition of Ghosts to GM, maybe an alternate ghost challenge? I definitely won some TvZs with a whacky proxy Ghost into BC build

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

Harstem does the GG count. it's fun to see, and fits the salt. the sewer-mermaid also did allot of planetary rushes, maybe you can get some ideas from him.

[@gravity111587]

I don't really subscribe to sc2 content anymore, but you are exception. Your games are super entertaining, and as a Christian I really appreciate how clean your content is. Just fun, feel good videos. I hope you are successful!

[@uglyfoolisyou]

Super fun series! Definitely like embracing a theme of "planetary is an offense unit" for this challenge regardless of it being a rush or part of a late game push.

[@chimeric7774]

I love your attitude and demeanor, subbed for the good vibes 👏👏👏

[@Blackening9999]

I'd call this strategy "Seating on the face" :D As Command Center literally lands into the plain sight of the opponent :D

[@genadiymihaylov2632]

Suggestions: For Zerg: put an ebay on 99% the natural and one of the expansions. Place the BF in between the expand that he takes and his main. For Terran: start with a BF but transition into skyterran on the back. Against protoss: make the range upgrade and see how to contain with turrets to no more than 2 nex

[@SystemsDevel]

hey dude, awesome stuff as always!! dude i think you should have added a flying rax with that first planetary rush for highground vision for the ravagers maybe? i think you could also just wall off the natural with a CC and just fly it there? xD awesome challenge xD

[@heinrichhilgenbecker2819]

Haha props to the Terran for being a good sport about it

[@trixmtll1393]

That first zerg must’ve known your name or series lol, he didn’t want no CC on his side

[@chaostheory7788]

One thing you should do is load up a couple SCVs into the CC you're going to use as the PF and fly them with it so you always can pop them out to repair then load them back up

[@remeokits]

Now do base rush where you land building in bases and build units and use building as cannon food in fights. Keep getting crazy with it

[@roughmercies1491]

What about canceling the engineering bay and using the space it creates to cut his base in half with a planetary? I am but a pleb but it seems somewhat strong to me

[@alexei_br]

Amazing content thaaanks, loving every second spent here

[@william7546]

Watching you is teaching me a lot about when to decide to macro vs aggro, its such a hard thing to get right

[@RossRadikSherman]

Its especially difficult with zerg where you all your production is coming from the same place: the hatcheries.

[@william7546]

@@RossRadikSherman i was always a toss player, i can handle zerg, knowing when to drone is pretty tough, i could never do terran, i cant keep up with all the different building queues

[@gelindhaeyer2503]

Really enjoying the series because of your live reads of the game. Maybe you could use the ability of the flying CC to carry SCVs for a quick repair during the PF morph :)

[@keny7269]

I love this, but, could you (always) show from their perspective the moment they see the planetary xD. I really enjoy seeing their reaction :)

[@MegaMawileTheNommer]

That Terran giving a WP! *MWah!* Those are the kinds of players I love to see! I bet you he has a better learning rate than those who rage when they get cheesed.

I'm glad I found your channel. Hours of entertainment

[@StockedUp70]

Excited to watch another video from you! Amazing content

[@Meat88]

Would have loved to see the replay from the first game's POV.

[@TotallyTribal]

I didn't watch this series for a long time because I thought it would be boring and redundant, but this is fantastic.

[@AC3handle]

When starcraft was in beta, the AI would CONSTANTLY do a planetary rush each and every time. I won once simply by blocking it from landing.

[@semicedevine6918]

that planetary land in the last game was amazng, if you kept the helions with the PF it may have lived

[@adolfotibana2810]

Funnest challenge yet! Make this your whole channel! 🤣

[@jonsolo32]

Love the series! I’m new to the channel but if you haven’t tried this… Viking rush with Medivac/scv support. You put the scvs on auto repair in the medivac and when you need to repair a Viking, land it and put it in the medivac. The scvs will repair it. This would possibly wreck Protoss. Lol

[@aquireeverything9382]

Are you saying scv will repair while Inside the medivac?? Whaaaaaatt is this true

[@jonsolo32]

@@aquireeverything9382 check it out! They even repair themselves. I believe the same is true if you load them into a PF.

[@robincormier9935]

When you lift the command center to fly it into their base, is it possible to load a few SCV's into it? Or is that only a feature of Orbitals...? I forget... but a few SCV's repairing while the PF gets built could be huge, even if they get targetted down it should buy some critical time.

[@levsonc]

Yes, it's possible to load SCVs into flying CC.

[@ralphm4132]

A planetary is just a Viking with the anti-air missile system traded off for 19000 tons of armour and much bigger guns...

[@garretthaney9134]

Need to send the replay to Winter's Special Hacker Investigation Team.

[@udman008]

Is there a reason you don't load the SCV into the CC when you fly it into the base? They can help repair while it morphs into planetary

[@RipVDub]

This is going to be a slog. The planetary seems to take a lunar new year to complete. A few SCVs have to come along for the ride. It's a dream Uwu! It's a dream!

[@balazsfenyes3880]

For zerg just do everyone's favourite challenge that everyone likes, the Brenda flood,spamming queens.

[@PlasmaFuzer]

In the third game, would it have been worth it to go for fast building armor? Or Hi-Sec for the extra damage?

[@eightball941]

I could watch these all day. Thx Thermy!

[@richardhegymegi1427]

What time do you usually play when you do these challenges? Just want my mmr to stay protected from pf rushes

[@genadiymihaylov2632]

This challenge brought me to uTgermy's channel and I have to say that with this content he is currently quite underrated in terms of subs.

[@2012Apokalypse]

There is nothing more satisfying than Turtle Mech for some Reason.

[@Amoeby]

The one thing you could do when ebay blocking the opponent is to not finish it, pull SCV away and if he doesn't attack it for some reason then finish it with the timing. Otherwise cancel and build another one.

[@ChezzyKnytt]

I'd be interested in seeing if 1 base to GM is possible!

[@advancedragon]

This series has won my sub! :)

2:45 its really sad that Engineering Bays can no longer Lift-Off.

[@junde410]

[@Convulsiveted26]

New challenge idea: You play random and have to tell your opponent your race AND your strategy in the opening seconds. If you you change your plan, you can - but you have to announce it to the opponent. Challenge/account name: Full Disclosure

[@pavelzuk]

Another random challenge idea: you have to damage all your own buildings to 50% hp 😂

[@Nico_Dica]

I saw a coment saying you can enter some CVs in the CC,/PF is it true ? Storing like 2 before you flight the CC could help you to maintain it alive once he arrives, I guess you could also micro the CVs in&out to dodge some shots. I'm no SC2 player, just wondering if it's possible or not.

[@hsinglim]

They're SCVs btw, just thought of letting you know since you don't play SC2

[@Nico_Dica]

@@hsinglim So you can't enter the SCVs into the CC, right ? That's what I was curious about, I guess he would have done it by now if it was possible

[@MrPowdacat]

Always great videos and challenges

[@Green13Gaming]

Is it possible to utilize ghosts with the planetary to trap the opponent in their base like you do and then use the ghost to nuke them while they can't escape basically if they try to charge the planetary to escape they die to whatever army you create alongside it and the nuke punishes them for trying to hold and build up their army to destroy the planetary

[@captianmorgan7627]

Don't forget you can load SCVs into the command center

[@coco5593]

Maybe you could you load the SCV you use to make the CC in the CC to repair the CC when it lands in the enemy base

[@waw4428]

Make an account called LiquidSaltBaneling and make a "baneling flood to GM" series :D ... The main rules would be that you'll launch baneling floods of at least 100 banelings, trying to end it in one attack. Maybe even something similar but with mass baneling drops xD

[@TheKurtisHoppie]

Salt Cannon FTW!

I did enjoy the video, and already subscribed thank you. I am guessing ebay can't fly like other terran buildings. And l will add that it looks like the hardest to pf rush is zerg cause of creep spread and cause queens opaf. cheers

[@00jknight]

I wanna see a squad of 4-8 scvs brought to repair the planetary so it always goes up and then I wanna see you nuke from the planetary and wrap their base in a turret ring so they can't escape

I think you are right, you broke the first guys brain
