This Is The Best SC2 Game of 2024. (Raven Mine to GM #11)

[@eclipseeffigy]

Yall know that meme where the teacher goes... " *marc* , this is the 7th week in a row you've brought the *best game of the year* " 😂

[@bowenjones6462]

I was just about to comment this. Every day is a new best game of the year. The memes.

[@eclipseeffigy]

Oh my goodness, over an hour later for one game, what an epic battle. Opponent was a really good sport in chat, more than marc was even xD ggwp!

[@jay.rhoden]

Answer for the teacher: "Well you clicked on it didn't you?" :)

[@bruh-xp9zf]

He's becoming Lowko

[@Zwijger]

@jay.rhoden Yeah because we enjoy his content, he doesn't need to title the video "wow this is the best thing you will ever see" for me to click and watch, just the name of the challenge and a descriptive addition would be way better title like "Gateway to GM: crazy back and forth/ hour long slugfest/ from blitzkrieg to trench warfare". Like pick whatever fits your style, but there's plenty of better things to do.

[@zwingler]

"this is an unusual lenght for an episode" ... naive me, thinking this was gonna be like 2-3 games haha.

[@SmithnWesson]

The stalemate timer ended because you flew one of your buildings into him and he blew up the building.

[@SirJohny5]

Yup

[@wortyle]

Wrong, look at the minimap. When the stalemate ended, he still did not have vision of zerg's base meaning no building flew in yet. His factories blew up a min or so after the stalemate ended

"changelings are really obnoxious" - raven and widow mines guy

[@tk2070]

Mark a top tip from another Raven Enjoyer, make sure to be clearing his creep with them in run by's on the tumors. that way he cant see you switching locations and you can autoturret rush the bases easier before the corruptors can get to you then run

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Ifyou go up against ultras again, build. 6-9 barracks to wall off and limit surface area or entrace for ultras... cheap buildigns with good hp... planetary can shoot them a lot more also, by denying them localized access, and you can also always lift the barracks, to repair and save for later, at a cost of 75 minerals, but its a great way to get more time nad move your defensive structures... you could go factories or starports but they cost gas... thats the crux of it.

[@Jaryism]

End of game: Loki: "Don't do it Anakin... I have the high ground..." uThermal: "Don't underestimate my Ravens power.... " FORCE JUMPS INTO ARMY "AHHHhh"

[@balazsfenyes3880]

Loki, the trickster against Uthermal, also the trickster.

[@TheVeregat]

47:20 looked like debris that got macro sized lol

[@foxs49er]

They did the same thing with the HOTS servers. First, they got rid of east and then west. So, all that's left for NA is the central server. But that happened years ago. Fortunately, I live between the east coast and the middle of the country, so my ping is usually 30-40 ms, so I can't complain.

[@avinotion]

Spire in full view at 10:34 11:07 "I haven't even seen a Spire yet" Also, changelings everywhere (I believe that's what was spotting for that Nydus from nowhere). And at 47:21 - I just love death physics on this map

[@amythystmiriel]

The Nydus From Nowhere was actually placed with vision from the dying Nydus next to it.

[@avinotion]

@@amythystmiriel nice spotting by the opponent muhahahahaha

There is still one challange that I would love to see: Abducters abducting a drone/worker/... and beat the opponent with their own units :)

[@booshmcfadden7638]

@47:21 that was a piece of a widow mine that flew past the screen.

[@Nekoyashiki-san]

Thanks for going through until the end of this great game and discovering new ways to stop a stalmate. :) That was quite the dance between the armies. ^^

[@TheArmySnipe]

Aw man...I was looking forward to the haircut intervention...

[@WandererTheLost]

1:45 Djinn Nasty

[@ShimmeringSword]

My only thought was you had plenty of time to fly the full circle around him, or even the whole map, to kill every single tumor and make him feel blind. Also mid game there were many opportunities to kill his forward spores, which later turned into his final base. Good game overall.

[@boorockt]

I got blueballs from waiting those widow mines to eliminate all the flyers. Delicious game.

[@philh8829]

Ping convo… Europe to central USA in 130ms (130/1000 second), that is insanely fast. What a technological marvel.

Anyone else ever see the Rank Roulette episode where Reynor pretends to misunderstand how ping works and Harstem pretends not to realize that Reynor is joking? Absolute gold. 🤣

[@benihanah]

Bravo. Seriously, posting a game that ends in a loss but still has massive learning value is a humble flex, and playing with a weird composition as part of the challenge no less! What a ride! GGWP Marc!

[@Char.tradeacc]

Enjoying Your play and positive vibe always, thanks.

[@guillaumenobody9624]

Marc at it again for our best entertainement ! Cheers

[@rocketrockinit]

In you I trust

[@ja3482]

due to the nature of terran building mechanics, he could have simply sent a raiding party of around 4 corrupters to whittle down the buildings in the Main corner while leaving everything else in his spore redoubt he made. Just send the raids whenever he saw marc's battlegroup too far away and force Marc to either let another burn down or spend money on an scv or spend precious scan money on a mule to repair them.

[@P3d3r0s0]

You shaved, well done.

[@thekornreeper]

😂🎉🎉🎉

[@dajosh42069]

Anyone else hear the Portal voice? "Stalemate Detected!" Honestly, I've never actually seen it do that before... Didn't know it had a stalemate failsafe.

[@tomatopotatocelery]

youtube comment tip: use turrets to clear creep so they don't have full map awareness

[@BuddyWudzyn]

Lets gooooo! I didnt even know you were playing in HSC

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

I trust you bro, that’s why I’m here.

[@laurv8370]

Outstanding! Thumb up. Kudos.

Best of the year? Alright, let's go!

[@Chris971.]

Another day another hyperbolic KZbin video title. And I'm all here for it.

[@jag2923]

After taking out the hive, targeting down the couple of remaining overseers would have been a winning move, no?

[@noax1982]

47:22 hahaha epic close-up

[@70ffL1n3]

Think Marc, think!

[@jakub5375]

21:44 why the hell is only one mine targeting that ultra LOL

[@HibiscusOrchid]

Mine behaviour, unless commanded, they dont lock onto an enemy that is already targeted.

[@catbert7]

33:15: No Anti-armor on the Corrupters... oof 46:40: This would have been game-winning if the Ravens had been there too. Dunno why you keep them separate.

[@janoshkronos1882]

bottom left base has still minerals right?

[@bboyjmillz-g2g]

It is SC2 art..."Draw?" 😂

[@leotang6041]

27:41 how do you do that split, wow....incredible!

[@randomname6010]

Thanks for the video

[@vampireby]

Fantastic game and I love your content; although the attitude towards the end was probably the poorest ive seen displayed from you Marc. To call him weak when he's asking for a draw and then having the audacity to ask his supply and then not return the favor with your own was bad mannered and unsportsman like which normally goes against your amazing characteristics. I hope to not see you stoop to this behaviour again.

[@uThermal]

Think you're taking it a bit too seriously mate ^^ the 'weak' was obviously a joke and I didn't tell him my supply because I was obviously dead :D

[@TheThewhatnow]

Why not mine out the last bottom base, it had me so confused?

[@yommers]

Finally, we know what it's like when a pro plays Ketroc style!

[@expepem189xl3]

I am at 23 minute mark, didnt expect fungal to be so weak, but also surprised of ammount of nyduses, it looks like zerg is wasting resourses on them instead of vipers.

[@tk2070]

biggest problem is all his creep, also you can make factorys infront of the mining base in his area late game because theyre huge and tanky and block surface area for ultras and movement

[@bradpitel1517]

What a banger

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

IN a long game against zerg, after the 22-25 minute mark, attackign the zerg tech tree to force out other units should be priorty because of the massive time delay...

[@gcl2783]

What the heck am I watching?! What unsanity did I watch!? bonkers!

[@joshseely8350]

“If I can get it up…” 😂

[@leafykille]

Wow! What a game!

[@marcovoetberg6618]

Ok I trust you :)

[@ericnewton5720]

I don’t feel like it’s fair that stalkers can blink away to completely negate a window mine shot. I feel like the window mine shot would just relock on a closer unit once it lost targeting or would just travel in a straight line once it lost targeting.

[@GottaBlast]

I thought at the end you'd use the factories to tank while you killed spores. I think that would of been your best chance, but I'm a noob so idk.

[@alexandredornellas2319]

Therm, please, play as zerg and make a billion changelings to atack your opponent with you troops.

Can someone explain to me how he scattered all his ravens in all directions simultaneously at 27:38? I need that.

[@uThermal]

That just happens if the one in the middle is attacked and you don't do anything, I literally didn't do anything there :D

[@PrickPocket]

@@uThermal Oh I see haha! Back in Command and Conquer you could press X to scatter your troops, I thought there was something similar involved, looked so clean! Thanks for the reply!

i kept waiting for the miraculous comeback but he just had too much stuff. i know you said you dont like draws but i feel like that wouldve been a better outcome than slowly dying over 20 mins

[@gpslayer]

i think th eplayer was afk for 20 minutes

[@SonicBoyster]

I love your gameplay but that last game was just kinda frustrating. You lost it, he offered you a draw, you told him no and dragged it out as long as you could before dying. I mean I get it, I've been that guy in the Supreme Commander match or whatever that drags the game out to over an hour trying to snipe the enemy commander or whatever, but to an observer it's less exciting and more trying to figure out why it isn't over yet.
