The queen popping in and out of the nydus to kill the oracle was hilarious 🤣

[@Boompiee]

Yep that was priceless :D

[@Imdrekaiser]

I want you to take control of their probes/scvs then build a protoss/terran army as zerg. That would be the most funny yet difficult challenge.

[@detachsoup6061]

Against protoss its decently possible since you just need a probe for a few second to build a nexus and other buildings. Against terran is almost impossible because you need multiple neurals to finish the build, the terran easily spots what you are doing in between the neurals (meaning you have to guard it way better) and you need to ensure your own units and defenses dont kill the scv.

[@AlxZordon]

I’ve had that done to me on the ladder lmao definitely should do it

[@tinsucevic]

That would be beautiful

[@benjamineidam]

This has to be the best yet hardest challenge by a lot, ever. Love it, want to see it! :D Edit: What would that actually mean, realisticly? Infestorrush so quick that you can intercept the worker at the natural? Is this even possible? The more I think about it, the more exited I get :D

[@Wezelkonijn]

Yeah, there are very sick combinations, like Thors in a nydus or recalling banelings with a mothership or dropping ultras with a medivac. I would LOVE to see all that, but these kind of strategies are almost impossible to pull of.

[@rpontonjr]

Cheese idea: Rush burrow. Burrow zerglings in a circle around where they're going to expand without blocking it, wait for their nexus/hatch to finish, then unburrow pre-surrounded and take it out.

[@WhitePointerGaming]

An even better variation is to burrow banelings next to the mineral line. Wait for them to expand and transfer their workers, then boom!

[@TheGreenRoundBirb]

​@@WhitePointerGamingburrow bonanza cheese! Expect the unexpected

[@timreutemann9223]

Sooo many options with burrow, defensive, offensive, traps, roaches, investors... Ideally combined with a targeted destruction of detection.

[@SmithnWesson]

I think nydus swarm host is quite good. Very fun to watch. I think nydus lurker would also be fun. I'm not sure if lurkers can be built fast enough though, to do a cheese. I envision of nydus popping into his main base and 12 lurkers popping out and then boom all his buildings are destroyed in about 5 seconds.

[@NcDrgn]

While I'm not an SC2 player myself, I was drawn in by the man, and I must say, he truly delivered beyond expectations.

[@thomaschevrierlaliberte5884]

The" burrow around future ccs and surround when completed" suggested by someone else sounds really cool

[@nofloornerdsendofline5340]

as an ex semi-pro zerg for Psistorm Gaming, I will enjoy seeing what uthermal's brain, and zerg cheese can come up with ! 17gas 17pool is decent at causing disruption. But if you get blocked you need to take your third, which is annoying. I personally think that another opening will give you more chaotic options: 15pool (before ov) 14gas, 15ov, (make one single drone when ov pops) put only 2 drones into gas. Make 6 lings, drone to 22 supply, take natural, take ling speed (with 2 drones it should line up perfectly after you take your nat) 22 ov, leave 2 drones on gas to take a fast lair, or very fast burrow, or fast bane next, or ect. 36 supply ov and burrow tech. 44 ov and lair, and 2 spores, 52 take 3 more gas, and choose your tech. furthermore, 2 base tech expand will likely allow you to come up with the most random cheese builds. including 2 base swarm host, 2 base hydra lurker drops, ect ect.

[@JoeMendez579]

I notice how he send two workers to the gas at the beginning because Marc is so Terran.

[@sc2dog]

uThermal you are amazing to watch! And the way you approach the game so chill, helps us normal players just to give things a try!

[@AngryDrake]

I would like to see overlord-related cheese.

[@YogonKalisto]

overlord rush ftw!

[@YogonKalisto]

wouldnt it be cool ifyou could burrow airzerg

[@Name-ru1kt]

I have a fun strategy that I would love to see uthurmal do which is lurker drop. Kinda bad tbh but who cares A different one that actually works super well that i think dark used inspired by erik is you rush lair and get ovi speed with roaches. What erik did was queen drop tumors to block expansions but instead you can use the queens offensively make a lot more roaches It completely decitmated stargate and banshee openings since their unit count is rather low and you actually have good anti air. Tbh I did this cheese myself before I saw dark cause I messed up the build but nvm that.

[@daviderwin1204]

Is it possible to make so many overlords and move them in over your army so they can't see what's happening or click on thier units to micro?

[@SSLaziale]

Intentionally failed cannon rush at natural to mask dark templar rush with secret main base pylon

[@jetsyrup481]

"I don't know how the hell that's gonna work, but let's begin" mood tbh

[@____GoMeZ____]

The Neural challenge is still my #1 request. Has been for ages....would love to see you do it!

[@JFox4587]

I’ve always wanted to see someone utilize overlords as a way of messing up someone’s micro somehow. Just take a cloud of overlords with speed and make it difficult to either target your units or perhaps to control their own units? I imagine someone splitting marines vs banes for example and having a hard time seeing properly to click to kill banes because there’s an overlord cloud above the battle.

[@MrFancyGamer]

sadly this doesn’t rly work cus just attack move automatically targets actual attacking enemies first :c

[@JFox4587]

@@MrFancyGamer you can’t attack move against ling bane with Marines. You either have to split to minimize damage, or focus fire the banes.

[@asdf154]

Burrow banes at your opponent's third or 4th mineral line. Wait till he saturates, then detonate! :D

[@WatchingVidss]

The GOAT is back! Uthermal2 has been holding me over while waiting for these new cheesy series.

[@ArthurMasterofLance]

Yay you're back! So much fun to be had. Hope you enjoyed the time off. I know we will all enjoy youre time back =).

[@anthonyrepetto3474]

Zerg Rush IDEAS: -- 12pool into Hive: adrenal-upgrade zerglings, vipers! -- Mass Baneline Mine, Infestor + Burrow + Dropper-Lords (hide infestors in dropper-lords AND burrow...)

[@user-gc2is9rn1y]

I think you might have destroyed the ladder with that swarm host build.😂😂 Since this video came out, I've had so many zerg players nydus swarm hosts. Props to you

[@garion046]

That last game almost felt like Day9 and Apollo mind games chat. 'So you build your natural, and you transfer ALL your drones to it, so you can hude lings in your main. But your opponent doesn't scout so doesn't see your natural saturation... and then you just go all in anyways. MIND GAMES.'

[@corlevtec]

Great video. Love the way you explain the flow of the game. Would love to see you try infestor fungal drops on their mineral lines. then finish with what ever unit you want.

[@lukewilton9525]

I’m loving the Zerg and Protoss cheeses. Keeping the content fresh

[@insideurgirl]

great content Uthermal!

[@sethculverwell9693]

Soooo happy to see the X to GM back online! You're the man @uThermal

[@insideurgirl]

I want to see only spine and spore crawler cheese. Also, see if an overlord or nydus worm can load uprooted Spine Crawler and Spore Crawler if they are considered unites.

[@Name-ru1kt]

They cannot I have tried this myself. You can overlord drop drones in and make spines from after since overlords can drop creep

[@JoeMustache321]

going for second army by stealing your opponent's worker is always sick. Wish it was like brood war where it gives an extra 200 supply

[@balintlengyel1434]

"You do need to accompany the cheese with something." Some nice wine would be favorite :)

[@romainguittet8823]

Merci d’avoir repris les uploads, t’es un roi ❤

[@russellinator]

So excited for this series!!

[@messinround4810]

I believe the Zerg player Lorimbo has some of the best Zerg ladder cheese builds out there. I remember an hilarious video about his builds on Harstem's channel.

[@1stcrowdraven]

Should do one where you only build burrowing units. Roaches, infestors, lurkers, swarm hosts. Second one I'd love to see is a rush to broodlord

[@MonochromaticPrism]

Long time Zerg fan, love watching a skilled player push the boundaries of viable alternative strategies.

[@JonathanMercure]

Love seeing you play Zerg!!

[@manunarine3529]

Man, u are definitely the most chaotic GM player in SC 2 lol....there's cheese and there's uThermal cheese, which is a whole Mozzarella cheese.

[@Feljo]

12:12 that's just like slapping them in the face xDD

[@Damlorindgren]

For a zerg build vs zerg: go up to 14 drones, double extractor trick, then send a dron for the second hatchery, another dron for the extractor, and the pool as soon as you have the minerals. One more dron to go back to 14, as soon as the extractor is done 3 drones there to harvest 100 gas asap. Time to build two overlords Your second hatchery and the spawning pool should finish around the same time, as well as you getting 100 gas, now you have to start lings speed, build a queen and take off all drones from gas Fron now on you build only lings and when speed finish you go for a ling flood. Main advantage is limgs speed 15-30 secs earlier than the other guy and massive army. You'll have to dance with banes tho

[@phineasfaber5159]

Banelings, Swarmhosts and 20 alternate unit army supply to GM. Pick whatever you want but only one per game and only 20 supply. More excited for uThermal to become a baneling monster.

[@solarheckle2704]

Missed you Thermy :D the cheese strats are the fave!!

[@qontodemigo2461]

Yes! I asked for swarm host for like 20 episodes after you used it in ep 2 of proxy hatch

[@LoneWolf-kw3ol]

cheese challenge idea: Blot out the Sun In honor of a classic, make an absurd amount of overlords, fly the giant mass over the enemy base, and drop an army on their heads while generating creep. any units allowed except flyers, seers allowed, obv you need drops. The idea is they cant micro at ALL because of how many lords you have, and their units get too caught up shooting overlords instead of the actual army eating their base. WarOwl did it first, coined the phrase "all your base r belong to me" and it was legendary

[@mr_clean575]

this would be fire

[@hangover89]

Yo thermy, what if you tried the overlord/drone into spine crawler rush that Mixu pulled on you?

[@cjfletcher325]

Anything uThermal tries is crazy because it’s uThermal

[@football_edits155]

Love your videos ❤

[@gingeral253]

Yay new off race series! Also inspiration.

[@KalenvS]

Heeeeey, finally some Zerg gameplay... thanks for this :)

[@wolvie90]

Nydus rushes is always really fun. For extra style points, do Nydus rush and Drop-lords at the same time.

[@cainednd]

I've been excited for Ultralisk to GM for months! :)

[@alexanderstorm8651]

Best cheese ever! I love swarm host! Please more of that 🙂

[@Necrocidal]

Fast burrow, can you put a ling on every base on their side of the map (except main and possibly nat)? Then if you manage to kill the nat, burrow a ling there too and sit back for a bit

[@davidelrizzo]

I've been watching Marc for like 2 years and I don't think I have ever seen a single Ultralisk. I will throw money at you to do Uktralisk cheese! 🧀🙏❤

[@adamhenrie3879]

Our prayers have ben answered, the X to GM series is back !! And even better... Zerg strategies >:-)

[@bjarnecrins3459]

Cheese idea, Nibus highways. Just create like tons of nibus worms all over your base and map, so you can move your entire army across the map very fast.

[@leafykille]

I would love to see an old school 3 base hydra all in with lurker follow up.

[@Chefkok09]

Hello uThermal, in witch region are you playing? greetsand i like your stuff man.i learn a lot

[@Talentaire]

Hey Mark, thanks for the games. I wonder if you could make this work: use the overseer ability in a cheese that stops production and research to maintain opponent at no upgrade while you take 1/1 and 2/2 ! Or a contaminate to grandmaster serie :)

[@phillgizmo8934]

I have a weird minichallenge. Neurosuicide infestor just for a fun short moment, neuro parasite ghost and snipe the infestor controlling the ghost.

[@saitrio]

So cool to see zerg cheese!

[@NativeNewMexican]

Is it possible to do a Infestor Fungal Growth on workers harassment, army can only be used for defense/clearing detection for infestor protection?

[@mbenson501]

Amazing 🙌

[@rubbaevs]

some kind of cheese involving dropperlords would be cool to see. Or maybe some fast burrow.

[@BO-hz2dp]

I don't know if it is possible, but I want you to burrow 6 or so slow banelings at opponent's likely 3rd mineral line before that base gets taken, then put heavy muta pressure on natural to chase even more workers to 3rd. Kaboom.

[@Idiomatick]

I want to see a whole nydus rush only run. You're the only one crazy enough to pull it off. Games with a lot of nydus become very chaotic and fun. You get a subway system when the opponent has to walk like a noob.

[@jeroenstolp9889]

So this is extraordinarily silly, but hear me out... Overseers, obviously, don't cost supply. So in theory, you could make an insane amount of overseers, and use mass changelings on hold command to really mess up your opponent's ability to move their units. I've always wanted to try to mess with it to troll, but I don't have the mechanics uThermal does of course. Would love to see this!

[@gerasimpetrovich4887]

- I messed up - Ok, that's a pretty honest assessment of the situation here Excellent comment xDDD

[@maximk9964]

Mass hydralisk all in... with lurkers 🤔

[@ackerman8508]

simultaneos tripple battlecruiser cheese

[@levismegenbir]

I can't wait to see the Ultralisk drop!!!

[@jacobsvensson8193]

Rush lurker drops, I've done it myself and it's pretty fun

[@MKu64]

I main Swarm Host nydus builds when playing team games for the lols. Been doing it for years and recently people have been doing it more regularly. Need to micro it a bit more than what's happening here. Multi Nydus, pull them in and out partially launching, individual hold positions on locust etc. and can do massive damage. Also, yes, you would have killed that Nexus 100 percent if you targeted.

[@Iog0ut]

Mass muta to bait Phoenix into mass viper could be fun to watch haha

[@amNotRed]

Uthermal AND swarm hosts?!!?!‽ This is gonna be a treat!!!!

[@m.a.z.t.m]

ZvZ I like to start out standard and then make an evo chamber after the spawning pool and rush out +1 melee and then speed after. If you hold against the initial wave of lings, you win.

[@TheAussieLeo]

I love the games, stay humble and stay happy :) :) :)

[@rpontonjr]

Factory-in-their-base variant: Dropper lord a queen into the corner of their base, poop creep, and start planting down creep tumors. Spread as much creep as you can in their base without being spotted.

[@espernova228]

Overlord + Ultralisk worker harass while Swarm Hosts

[@Cberk03]

Can you do pf and missle turrets in mass

[@pierredelapotterie5996]

Is it a viable strategy to have 1 or 2 prism full of high templar, and you use your main army to occupy enemy army to position the prism from side or behind so you can unleash a full storm on the enemy army? Haven't watched enough of pro protoss match to know if this a often used tactic

[@hangover89]

Yes, that's definitely a strategy the pros use. They use them for drops as well for worker harassment. Two storms shred an entire mineral line

[@BukovTervicz]

Oh hell yes! Bring us the broodlords baby!

[@ellielikesmath]

i never see you use lurkers, so could you please try a lurker cheese?

[@maximk9964]

Zerg cheese is so chaotic, with creep and lings and Nydas... Never know what'll happen next

[@football_edits155]

The goat

[@personperso9429]

doing protoss and zerg at the same time goes against everything uthermal taught me. dude needs to focus on just one race.

[@michaelnatterer3521]

Hows about you make a video where you infest scvs and probes and build a zerg hybrid race I know if anyone can make it happen, its you. I assume making a terran-zerg-hybrid army is kinda difficult

[@njdarda]

this is cursed and i love it

[@vladislavkerdyashkin9120]

I would like to see some ultralisks, I have seen many of your videos and there were no ultralisks in any of them. It would be nice to see you cheese or simply play with ultralisks

[@craig4811]

Let's go!

[@user-wt2td6fg9y]

ultralisk drop - sounds good)

[@brianmcgoldrick9529]

I'd love to see some nydus swarm hosts

[@diazalex5314]

Zvz, is it possible to take over their worker then create a spine?

[@mirainokiokuha]

Can't wait for the zerg nexus or cc

[@michaelswain868]

I want 2 base muta rush, Bly inspired shenanigans, a roach rush, baneling dropper lord, 12 pool and maybe a 6 minute hydra all in... (less cheese and more just disgustingly unexpected the hydra all in)

[@GlenBeebe]

You should end videos with “adios” when you’re in Mexico, and “peace” when you’re in the Netherlands ✌️

[@Joffie69]

Bring some hommage to Broodwars.. an old fashion lurker rush! xD

[@Vectorbro]

Remember when swarm host didn't need to be microed to spawn locust

[@Nebral]

Ooooo boiiiiii finally Zerg 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@impromptu_ninja]

for some reason in my mind I hear Xerces when you say zerg cheese. Next name for your zerg cheese should be Xerchees lol

[@guest578]

Is it possible to cheese ZvZ by building on opponents creep?

[@badpf8705]

at some point can i suggest a nydusworm ultralisk cheese? very unusuall

[@barnaclebob123]

spine rush vs non zerg. maybe overlord to drop the creep or something

[@DigitalDustChan]

Here's a cheese that I've never seen: Wall off using creep tumors. Why don't I ever see that?
