This High GM Terran Couldn't Believe His Eyes (Planetary Rush to GM #16)

[@njdarda]

"PF rush without an ebay into flying your natural across the entire map" build has 100% WR at GM level. I think I'm gonna use it.

[@eclipseeffigy]

😂

[@GabrielSantosStandardCombo]

Mind games work best at higher level XD

[@lucustwyatt1960]

exactly lmao! pf rush without ebay makes opponent surrender

[@maxnaks8001]

i was feeling the pain awaiting him to find out, but luckily he didnt have to :D

[@josefanon8504]

lmao

[@wantedbonbon6443]

didn't even make an Engi Bay in the last game despite going for 2 Planetarys... shows that the mindgame and distraction is more important than the shooting cc itself :)

[@kevinchang5082]

I love how thermy gives coaching advice to the opponent he just smoked 😂

[@stateofmind2668]

Yeah goes to show how good he is. In the heat of a online battle, i wouldn't notice such things as 'oh this is a slow warp in for stalker' and commit to killing it. My d3 scrub ass prob be frightened off. Crazy to know i struggle around 3400~ and uthermy just makes fun of 5500's xD.

[@chaosprinz1983]

nice "μgg" at the end there :) guess he knew who he was playing against

[@Dannydowns1234]

Love your channel man. Haven't played SC2 in over 8 years. Still love it

[@alk672]

The first micro gg in history was called in this episode.

[@ralphm4132]

Thermieeeeee! Was that micro-gg just a compliment on the maneuvering or did he know exactly who he played?

[@UtmostOutdoors]

THERMY! It brings me such joy just to see the little blue dot next to uThermal when I log into KZbin. Such a fun time watching any episode! Thanks Marc!

[@luckylarry71]

Holy crap, giving that post-game analysis after g2 was just rubbing the salt in the wounds, or dancing on the poor guys grave, lol. Respect to him for typing gg after that *F*

[@Dawindell]

I think it was more to illustrate how all-in of a build it is and how important it is to not lose the 1st reaper or else it's over; he didn't even point out (as I thought he would) that this guy lost the first TWO reapers and so he was double dead hence why he GG'd out instantly.

[@xjezzakai324]

That last game, if I am not mistaken you didn't make an Engineering bay, you queued it up to build but made a depot instead. Or did i miss it? Good thing the Prush failed lol.

[@adamprins3390]

I was thinking the same thing. He never started to transform a planetary, so I think he just didn't notice.

[@craigkoeneful]

Yup I was yelling at the game lol make the EBay make it!!!

[@alsto8298]

That was the most intriguing part of a match. Like "What will he do when he realizes it'?"... but it never happened after all.

[@Kilroy757]

at 17:50 you can see uthermal say he's going to make ebay, select to build ebay but last second builds a supply depot instead. I think he just never realised he had no ebay this whole game :D

[@windovvsill]

He was soooo close to realizing that there was no engineering bay like 3 different times :D

[@MadMathMike]

Great games! Really risky maneuver in the last game to go for two planetary fortresses without your engineering bay! 😅 Love the content, uThermal!

[@shufflecat3334]

This episode was basically "holding cheese to gm" xD

[@breadmanbrett3085]

I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I just wanna say I feel blessed to have all this amazing content and backlog to enjoy, thank you

[@milesgreenaway6008]

Honestly my favourite series! Love the PF rush!

[@yeokc8757]

For maximum emotional damage you should use your PF to force them to lift their building, and fly in a rax to steal their add on.

[@israelrobles6144]

that work's ? lol

[@jamesthewelsh]

Man I was following this series... waiting every week or so for a new episode to drop... then I forgot about it. Lucky me! Now I have 8 episodes in a row, great channel to watch on the 2nd monitor whilst doing game dev

[@BernhardWeber-l5b]

I LOVE your style of game, explaining, just everything!

[@alsto8298]

Flying over a whole map just to place PF without even building e-bay. Wow!

[@jdave19]

You are so much fun to watch. Thank you!

[@balazsfenyes3880]

That last protoss should have been the saltiest yet he was the most disciplined, even said GG at the end.

[@mangetbent]

Agreed. This series was way more fun than I thought it was going to be.

[@tranquilnice775]

I love watching you do these series after qt used to do them, the contrast is very funny, you talk non stop and people used to complain that he was mostly silent.

[@VuNguyen-wo8bp]

'that's a 100 iq play' 'Wait that's average' Ahahaha

[@Scratchmane]

The last guy wrote uThermal's 'u' in the same fashion. He knew who you were! :D

[@ThueJanusKristensen]

It was never really an "u". "Micro" in "Microthermal" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microthermal) is properly spelled "μ".

[@АндрейШмидт-б3е]

Id like how Marc count Scv count and name tell opponent strategy instantly.

[@ferallhamster970]

Just experience. He’s played the game for sooo many years he just knows what stuff looks like.

[@Ty-bz7zx]

Bangin'..... always.

[@ChrisHaastrup]

finally hit the 7pm timing

[@lazaraza]

The last game the protoss knew who you are, and he gave you a salute with мgg

[@shadowofnoone9648]

When the opponent refuse to let you cheese them is the best, its amazing how embarrassed uthermal gets.

[@Necrocidal]

yeah, kind of like "die already... no not like that though"

[@zeonos]

love how Marc sounds like ve is in pain over his opponents lost reapers.

[@DrBonely]

Love the insanity of this episode. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.

[@eclipseeffigy]

That last game was fun, so chaotic. Never even had an ebay 😂

[@thomaschevrierlaliberte5884]

You could of taken your third at his third during that third game :) Would've been in line with the complete Mayhem of the challenge 😂

[@SubTactHiphop]

good stuff therm man

[@DKCHEUNG]

Marc, I've been watching you since the bong cloud days. I'm almost numb to the stuff you are pulling off. This is one of the series that i would never try. It's insane you can get GM with this.

[@darrenshield6360]

Great series. How would you feel about a no gas opener challenge?

[@uku5840]

Something about killing 31 more workers and still being behind on workers in a sub 8 minute game, somehow makes me feel we're cutting worker production a bit too aggressively.

[@fablesenpai8609]

You give me much joy

[@grazzer88]

I'm surprised you don't put SCV's in the command centre so that when you land it you've got 5 SCV's ready to rep it as it converts into a PF.

[@disieh]

Imagine PF rushing but making an orbital by accident

[@Joffrerap]

orbital rush sound like a fun troll challenge. you don't have to get the gas or ebay, and oppenent pull workers to kill it only to see it's an oribtal haha. I would really like to see uThermal try this.

[@Cowtymsmiesznego]

@@Joffrerap I thought you can tell? but maybe you can't, I don't actually know

[@Joffrerap]

@@Cowtymsmiesznego at a certain point in the animation you can yeah. But i think most of the people wouldn't believe because it's hard to see and would be stupid to morph an orbital

[@Name-ru1kt]

The mirror matchups are always so hard with these things. Cause I mean if your making the same units but your opponent simply as more…

[@geuros]

So, 5.5k MMR with PF rushes and that's after one game lost just because your follow up was pure ghost lol. I mean, this has to be the most successful serie ever. It makes sense, as you force the opponent to deal with it and you can otherwise play completely normal and you have well thought out follow-ups after the PF gets destroyed. Just amazing

[@l33tpie]

As fast as a speed running episode XD.

[@Kirk.television]

Let's go!

[@eriksih7832]

Why did you stop putting an scv in the command center when you fly in?

[@lucustwyatt1960]

PF best series ever!

[@adamtennant4936]

That was a whacky episode.

[@ilianos]

Can someone please explain why loosing the 2 Reapers (I believe it was the 2nd game) is like loosing the whole game? What would happen next; is it about missing scouting information or not being able to defend the next attack in TvT?

[@Cowtymsmiesznego]

The guy went for an extremely aggressive build, he made no workers at home and sent half of his workers to mine gas for the reapers. It's a "kill your opponent with this or lose" kind of gamble. And after losing the first two reapers you basically have no chance of killing your opponent. So uThermal would outscale him economically so hard that it's impossible to come back from.

[@ilianos]

@@Cowtymsmiesznego thank you!

[@dabdoc3885]

ive watched this video 420 times and can safely say its a certified uthermal classic

[@tyty8484]

won't be long now before we start seeing this strat in tournaments

[@noam8628]

maybe on neohumanity try a contain strat? I remember cyclone tvp planetary contain from one of ur videos and it was beautiful

[@legobil_]

You really should start using the Load Out function of the proxy CC. Bringing the SCV inside sounds like it could possibly be massive. Can the CC upgrade with an SCV inside? I suppose not, but still. With uThermals godlike micro that could be really good :)

[@Ninjaguy1b]

He did that a lot in earlier episodes. Against better opponents it is often not worth it because they just kill the SCV right away.

[@eclipseeffigy]

He uses it just not always. During game 3 he mentioned his thought process about it for that game

[@mikemmcmeans]

2nd opponent said µgg

[@chaddery]

My man!

[@Necrocidal]

Suddenly I miss the betas, when reapers were the counter to immortals

[@ssvensic]

I guess I'll be a bit late for Valentine's date

[@nicklindberg90]

They'll understand

[@robinchow]

The correct priorities

[@SeekAndDestroyTM]

Could you even make a planetary in the last game?

[@jetsyrup]

I don't believe you were going to make a command center in that second game. When can I expect my refund?

[@randommcranderson5155]

I'm not sure the command centers at the end did anything but distract him and lower your eco.

[@thehoogard]

why are all maps named "LE" at the end?

[@zacharyyoder9498]

It stands for "Ladder Edition" if I remember correctly.

[@jlarchitecte]

Ricus is a real cool guy irl

[@Chris971.]

ask him why he doesn't gg

[@jlarchitecte]

​@@Chris971. may be cause he got planetary rush.

[@suunraze]

Reapers should have the option to just jump off the back of the enemy base and plummet into the void

[@Matjo7588dk]

This series is awesome. But I really have come to like it more when the PF is used to block and control. Choke the player out. When its just flown into the base it just dies. And sometimes the person surrender. other times the game just move on. The PF has much more focus when its used to control and block. and played around it. then its used for far longer. The PF drop seems to mean more when used to play around, rather than just send to its doom.

[@TheTodesrolle]

you could have used the cc to transport the scv

[@abacabdk3490]

Time for some Halotherapy! Is µgg a sort of salt?

[@Ninjaguy1b]

Nah that's respect. Remember that Marc's main tag is µThermal spelled with that µ because of its meaning in scientific measurement. He's acknowledging he knows it's Marc.

[@momchilandonov]

Sad that there were not enough SCV to repair the PF :(

[@MultiAggi]

12*4+3-8/2-8+41=80>96

[@jasonauger2914]

Ready for a serving of 🧀 sir

[@danielburrows776]

Thermy! Love your content.... new series suggestion. 130 workers to GM. Rules are you are only allowed to attack when you have 130 probes/workers/drones. You will have to adapt gameplay to super high eco/high production/ low army supply. For zerg crazy high eco bailings could be a possibility etc.

[@lacontrasena1239]

me encanta

[@ro031n]

forgot the ebay in game 3, didn't matter but...

[@Beer4Breakfast]

23 minutes???? Next one 45 mins ok

[@Rakstawr]

Hahahaha! It worked!

[@boreduser12]

Pf rush is pretty much speed running

[@dr.kingschultz]

Everybody knows that you are the best player in the world so no shame tô show losses

[@jhulurebleza3543]

NO WAY IM NOT THE FIRST ONE T_T

[@scottallan6926]

It's imposable to critique Marc's build orders... I learned so much today. Take this with a grain of salt My friends. Gold league Sky Terran for life here. Great episode!!!!

[@hoppelhase12]

:)

[@Rooachie]

When i look at the people i pug with in wow 100 IQ is nowhere average. 20 sounds better

[@dr.kingschultz]

Be more honest with your losses it is also fun

[@FantasticForce23]

How is Thermy about to hit 6k mmr with bronze league strats...... P Fortress Rush....

[@zr6671]

scammed outta match #2 Kappa

[@yagoa]

first :P

[@metalistul6143]

300$ for 3 sesions of coaching, lol ur not cheap and not modest =))

[@ccwestman]

faking or failing lol

[@Gnolomweb]

nice!

[@baseboned]

pretty generous with "planetary rush" at this point...

[@marksmith161]

Cyclones should be removed. Unit is a joke.

[@Name-ru1kt]

The mirror matchups are always so hard with these things. Cause I mean if your making the same units but your opponent simply as more…

[@craig4811]

Let's go!
