This Trick Works Every Time vs Terran - Proxy Hatch to GM #15

[@anonymouswizzard5680]

It's already episode 15? No way. Felt like it just started. Such a fun challenge that i could watch it endlessly.

[@zelix953]

Seriously just looked back it’s been a slingshot of a series

[@itschrisperry]

well some of the episodes are only like 15 minutes lol

Congrats. You have no life.

Nevermind proxyhatches, this is the last episode of this year from Thermy! Lets go 75k and beyond in 2023! Cheers everyone and a special cheers to you Marc for being the single best content creator for SC2 out ther right now. If not for you I wouldn't play this game anymore but thanks to you I still meet up with my brothers on discord and run some cheesy 3v3 or 2v2s.

[@MartinozYT]

Man, I'm jealous of your skill a lot, whenever I play I feel like my fingers are lost, yet you show everything extremely easy to do^^

[@tabby7189]

Try a bit of slower practice, allowing yourself enough time to figure out what's going on and what you need to be doing

[@Braincho]

a pro is a pro, even ex pro is still pro if keep playing/practice

[@graog123]

Don't try to play quickly. Just play correctly. The speed comes to you with muscle memory and repetition. Playing your fundamentals and making good decisions are waaaaaay more important than high APM especially at every rank below grandmaster

[@mikemoyer8162]

Congratulations! It's fun for me seeing you play something other than Terran. As a zerg player myself (10 years ago when I played) I'd love to see you try some protoss challenges

[@glasscannon1815]

Those two last games were fantastic and had lots of flavor. A macro transition and then a gambit all in. That's a chef's kiss for sure.

There's a macro challenge for zerg where you spread creep or die and it's really painful, but it really keeps your macro cycles tight.

[@brandondpepe1504]

Best live commentary makes the videos so entertaining and fun to watch best sc2 KZbinr for sure

[@Zamiroh]

I have noticed against zerg you are usually quite far behind due to banelings. They completely counter proxy spines. I know you don't like playing them, but unfortunately I don't see much of a win condition against high level zerg. They will have defenders advantage and banelings. Roaches won't work unless in high number.

[@anotherplatypus]

Just thought about another fun proxy-hatch option available during later ZvZ games... neuraling an opponent's drone to plop down hatches or static defense. Love your content, keep it up. = )

[@Chfoulu]

Happy new year Marc, wish you many good things !

[@mbran031]

Man I've been playing/watching SC for over a decade now so I got a pretty good feel/intuition for how the game state is progressing, but these proxy hatch games...like I honestly don't even know. This series as a whole is Absolutly fascinating.

[@HeavyLiftGaming]

That 1st zerg definitely new who you are. He was so ready to counter, that banling nest was up so quick and that was it.

[@jimdelsol1941]

On the second map, you could make a proxy hatch close to the two minerals patchs on his in-base expand, then try to get in after mining the minerals.

[@scottevensen2615]

Lol! That single Thor at 20:23.

[@patarsatar]

Just watched the last video, that Reaper proxy was awesome!! Keep up the great work Marc!

[@westmaui]

Love the videos, hope you get 100k subs soon

[@majormajorasic]

15:00 Wouldn't aggressive creep tumor in his 3rd base or one near his rear/2nd natural help a lot if he wasn't paying attention? If you managed to get a near-cliff tumor your creep would spread up the ramp and give you vision to a lot of his stuff.

[@pondracek]

Units lost vs Z is misleading when banelings are involved. When the stats are equal, the opponent is still ahead, because banelings that self-detonate aren't counted. (Banelings that are killed by the opponent still are, even if they subsequently kill a clump of marines with their splash, but the method of termination matters.)

[@henningbreede6428]

This is just not true at all. They do not show up in the shift+L tab as units lost, but they are 100% counted as resources lost.

[@firesoul453]

Happy new year!

[@shavais33]

"Silly goose," lol. That reminds me of my Dad, who died in his 70's in the late 2000's. He used to have this prank he'd play on youngsters whenever they'd say something silly. He'd say "Here's something funny - repeat after me:" "Oh wah " "oh wah" "Tah goo" "tah goo" "sigh am" "sigh am" "Good. Now, say that 5 times fast." ".... Ohwahtahgoosigham." "Indeed."

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

hatchery the back door allows some mining and love... lol

[@RobertIlies]

at 26:58 you have a few larva after the hatch died why you don't use it?

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Banneling optimisation is 1 banneling cannot kill 1 banneling. So groups of two bannelings is optimal if they explode on target. If itsa fortified position 3 gives you a back up one to die. You can burrow them also and use htem as banneling traps... Effectie against terran, since terran relies on Scans far to much over ravens. Ravens prevent banneling bombs... using E to explode them verse A move is what I find most peopel struggle with. If your bannelings are too close, then what happens is they kill otehr bannelings and have not exploded, the jsut die to no effect. So double / tripple groupings of bannelings are effective. The area space is you want about 2/3 banneling space ot avoid its aoe killing all your bannelings. Burrow is really good early game or countering against air problems on mineral lines. classic... while a a tower is up, but more often its better to jsut have air, or hydralisk opportunity.... Banneling overlord drops are pretty fun to... overlord trasnports are extremely cheap... in teh sense of what they offer and conversion rate.... breaks ahead of other races at 3 overlord transports.

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

nvm, bannelings apparently don't do friendly fire anymore.. hmm A move it is.

[@ijebusjebus]

We have the planetary rush, the proxy hatch. When will we get proxy nexus to GM? Could be very fun even as a joke episode. There is some good mindgame and recall potential.

[@SeekAndDestroyTM]

If you send a couple drones to your natural you can get 18/14 extractor trick =)

[@samsamdonutman]

So what would you recommend for the Terran response to a proxy hatch like these two?

[@samsamdonutman]

@@garrusvakarian8709 Gotcha, thanks.

[@alk672]

Any chance you could do an episode explaining how to handle a proxy hatch properly as terran? I get ruined by this every single time :)

[@raglock1433]

From what I got watching uthermal play this, just hold the ramp. Let him take the natural. Because he is always happy to see terrans building a bunker next to the hatch. I think getting two bunkers and a tank should be a comfortable hold. Second cc to drop double mules and expand eventually is a good bet too.

[@alk672]

@@raglock1433 They spread so much creep it takes forever to clear it and I'm massively behind. I really think you must stop that first tumor, holding the ramp - I just don't see it.

Hey uthermal, play some age 4 for a change. Happy new year, hope you keep up the good work ❤️

[@majormajorasic]

For the maps with Gold bases, doesn't that make them premium proxy hatch locations? The income difference alone should mostly justify pulling half your drones just to begin that extra mining.

Terran should take shields 1000% with out medivac steam hurt so much. And shields add billion hp to this army.

[@jaeyang9540]

I want you to analyze your own game, and see how fast the game changes when those bannelings come into play. Taking out Thors, groups of marines, etc etc. There is no wall off capable of stopping a banneling rush. Trust me, beats a spine crawler and zerglings push. Once you now incorporated bannelings with wall breaks and spine crawler pushes your cheese will go faster. 6 minutes isn’t really a lot of time. Practice, practice with bannelings. If you aren’t good now, you will be if you practice at it. Every professional you see started out as a fumbling newbie.

[@VeryBadPlayerTV]

in the last game what i don't understand is why people don't just make a single tank, tech into stim pack, combat and atleast +1 if not 1/1 slowly break out of your base and expand into a 1-2 base all in when your timings finish. even if you don't think a full assault will result in any meaningful damage you can still do a double drop for harassment while you ahve tank + bunker defense at home on the ramp

This is actually worse than the worst build in ZvZ. You have to at least trade a little time to walk your spines in and get maximum DPS, but by the time you do that, you've lost economically.
