uThermal Plays Warcraft 3 For The First Time ft. Grubby

[@uThermal]

Because of my recording mistake Grubby's audio quality is a bit worse in the first game vs the AI, if its annoying just make sure to skip to the second game :) Let me know if you liked this and want to see some more wc3 content! Thanks for watching everyone

[@grafd7467]

I'm so hyped leeets go!

[@sinomirneja771]

Was about to ask if you've called in on phone! :)

I can`t believe u never played Warcraft3!! Most def more content, i think you`ll love it!! To no 1 series! :)

My two favorite youtubers and content creators! Love to see it.

[@GatsuKS]

Damn dude, you learn fast. Impressive second game.

[@Nuvizzle]

Love seeing uThermal and some other content creators getting into WC3 recently, the game never got the renaissance it deserves after Blizzard fumbled Reforged so hard.

[@GuckDaBaws]

Yeah the whole Tyler1 showmatch thing followed up by some more league streamers playing for a bit really did wonders for the game

[@arbutus2158]

This is a really REALLY good video. I've seen a lot of "pro being taught" videos and this is the best. It shows what an insanely good coach Grubby would make. He is SO good, and this discourse with another RTS expert (who is still a student) is the absolute best way for RTS viewers to understand a game. Seriously, this is amazing content. Please please do more of these. If you can find a teacher of this caliber in BAR I would support that, too. Thanks, Thermy, I've watched for a long time and I love this trend.

[@raglock1433]

Thumbnail scared me that you would play with reforged graphics. Its awesome to see you trying out so many new games. Id never know there is so much variety in this genre without you.

[@garagavia]

Same lol

[@bobby4tw]

Reforged graphics are a HUGE improvement over the original low poly. What are you babbling about? For nostalgia reasons?

[@raglock1433]

@@bobby4tw subjective reasons: wprse sfx, dont like the art style, worse visual clarity objective reasons: building sizes dont match up with real hitboxes, some sfx were switched between units for no reason, you cant tell elf buildings apart while they are being built because they all look the same, multiple death sounds for units making it more complicated to know whats happening and more.. edit: i think there are even reforged graphics specific bugs.

[@KalebSmart]

Two of my favourite RTS content creators combined! This was awesome. Gz on second match win! The macro was unreal

[@GakisStylianos]

First game, and he's doing a proper build order, micros better than I could even imagine and plays super solidly throughout the entire match. It's actually insane how well he played his first ever game. Not surprising considering his past knowledge, but still very impressive to watch

[@Carnage4k]

uThermal is gonna be the first person in wc3 to find the most disgusting combination of units u could imagine

[@cairdin12]

i would laugh so much if he started doing unit challenges in WC3 that literally etcha sketches the known meta

[@patzecake]

2 legends of the RTS community! So cool to see you collaborate with Grubby the King of Orc! Also thank you for the new eyes you're both putting on WC3

[@Novocane23]

It's really cool seeing you dive into this really nostalgic game for me - and I feel good knowing that I could most likely beat you in an RTS! I'd never stand a chance against you in Starcraft but I played WC3 ladder for several years. Had my 2500 win icon for Undead with a 58% win rate! I'd like to see you give Undead a go! Undead's gimmick is similar to Zerg, with cheaper units that are typically weaker than units of equal tier to other races with a few exceptions. Their Tier 3 / Tier 4 units are some of the strongest with some drawbacks. Abominations are relatively cheap for their power, but they are large and clunky. Frost Wyrms are one of the strongest units in the game, but very expensive and have several tech requirements before you can train them. Necromancers are my favorite support caster, able to summon skeletons from nearby corpses - buff your units with an insane steroid and cripple your opponents priority units. I'm surprised he didn't mention building a scout farm. It can be a good idea to build a farm further out from your base to act as a 'scout'. It warns you about early cheeses / rush tactics, and your opponent will almost never take the time to destroy it the first time. It takes too long to destroy, so they will most likely rush past it to try and attack your economy - so it gives you warning and you still don't lose it.

[@asdqwe123610]

I strongly recommend playing Warcraft 3 more. It's fun, and if you are looking for entertaining content, it's a gold mine! The variety of heroes and items create a lot of opportunities for crazy hijinks that would fit well on your channel. For example - just with human - You can buy a mechanical sheep from your racial shop. These are like critters and appear as such to the enemy, but you control them, and they provide you vision. You can buy a staff of teleport from the goblin shop that lets you teleport a hero to any unit you control - including a mechanical sheep. You can buy a staff of sanctuary from your racial shop, which allows you to teleport any unit home. You can even use the staff of sanctuary to send a zeppelin home - a zeppelin that can contain up to 8 of your units, including heroes. The mobility all this provides allows you to essentially be anywhere, anytime, and do anything. Also - arcane towers have an ability that lets you reveal any part of the map. Build a few of those, and you can see everything, and go anywhere, and do anything - hijinks ensue. Also you have a spellcaster that can turn anything invisible. There is a lot of fun to be had. I hope you make more WC3 content!

[@yesman7898]

In a way, kind of the same as SC2, a lot of the same meta/ cookie cutter strats over and over again

[@johanjof5613]

Yea like putting fire in the forest with the human elf hero, put mortars in that area with the help of a zepelin and destroy competely the base out of reach ahah. Or using sorceress invisibility on 10 mortars and sneaking them in your opponent's mineral :P I know many of those ugly cheese. I think with human you can make 10x more cheese than UThermy has in his repertoire for sc2.

[@cibo889]

He can also play the campaign, it's one of if not the best in the RTS genre.

[@Sorenzo]

I love this! I hope you'll keep trying, it's fascinating to see a top player learning a new game and WC3 is an absolutely classic.

[@lefter700]

Out of all the people Grubby has coached, you are the one I'm most happy to see. Hope you like the game and continue to play it, cause the way I see things you have great potential. Cheers!

[@UlfMTG]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA THIS COLLAB IS CRAZY HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

and now watchign, i'm so down to follow this journey

[@zyst6]

I’m extremely stoked to watch more! This is such cool content, you going over all the races would also be a great intro for beginners.

[@Dean_Green1489]

So crazy I recently subscribed to both of you separately and now you collab randomly lol what are the odds. Keep it up with the wc3!

[@stysner4580]

I understand Mark is a very good player in any RTS game, but the pace at which he picked up the build and micro specifics while under pressure is pure insanity. I to this day forget upgrades and start them WAY too late every other game.

[@queze]

As an old-school WC3 (NE) player turned big Starcraft 2 player, but dropped off before the Void expansion, coming back to see you and Winter doing Starcraft 2 streams and commentary while I relive my WC3 ladder is a dream come true! Please continue and enjoy your Warcraft 3 journey! I will love it! You will love it! And so many more will love it! Keep up the fun! Grubby and Moon (the 5th race) are two legends whom I will never deny a like. They have been around for ages, and you are in very good hands to get your MMR skyrocketing by listening to this absolute (4K) king!

[@p00nski.gaming]

This collab is CRAZY! I go through phases where I'll binge watch wc3 and then sc2 and go back and forth. I never even thought about you two coming together but it just makes so much sense.

[@DanielDaPonte-v9l]

First time hearing of you. Liking and subscribing! I'm glad you two are collaborating, and I look forward to more in the future!

Warcraft 3 is my favorite game still and grubby was a very instrumental teacher to me back in the day, working with mr Cygnus at warcraftreplays to do audio commentary on how to micro was probably the first time I had heard commentary from the pros playing the game. Thanks for bringing back some good memories and I hope you keep make more wc3 content!

[@JustSomeRandomGuy42]

The thing that makes me enjoy to watch Starcraft 2 more that WC3 even though I don't play either, is that SC2 decisions and plays are much easier to evaluate and have a sense of impact uThermal get into the mineral lines with 3 reapers? Sweet! Blademaster windwalks past the enemy and manage to buy some gloves of speed? Who knows what's the impact of that play I've watched both Grubby and uThermal for a similarly long time, but I didn't make any progress in understanding high level WC3 play

[@GruppeSechs]

3:54 They should have just made locusts drop minerals like some enemies do in the campaign and co-op.

[@corresandberg]

Awesome stuff ❤. Last time I played was about 25 years. I was mostly Orc. Found them simplest. I remember the comments though "Work, work" or "I'll die for the clan". Still looks ok, outdated but ok, I feel.

[@couryrussell7653]

I freaking LOVE that you're doing this. While I don't expect you to become a high-ranking player, I would love to watch your journey of becoming at least a decent, well-rounded WC3 player. I mean, watching you go 1v1 against Grubby would be pointless, but if you would eventually get to the point of going 2v2 together with him, that could be a lot of fun to watch.

24:02 "maynarding" is actually a term from starcraft. Miguel "Maynard" Bombach, an american terran popularized transferring workers from your main to your natural so it was called "maynarding". and i suppose old starcraft players kept calling it that when they started playing warcraft 3

[@E1987TO]

I came here from Grubby's channel and I am actually impressed how two professional RTS players can learn from each other. Great job!

[@draheim90]

Damn, I’ve been playing WC3 off and on since release. I’m decent enough but I can tell your reactions, precision, and some elements of your micro are probably better than mine ever were. No doubt you’ll rise quickly. Though it’s a bit personal preference, one hint to help you control your army would be to put all your melee units in control group 1 and your range units in control group 2 (and casters in 3). It’s always felt a lot better to me. I think Grubby likes putting all heros in 1 but I even do range heros in 2. It can get a bit cumbersome once you start adding more niche units such as flying machines, mortars, or even air units..as having more than 3 groups is challenging to control, but I still really prefer this to having all melee/range in the same group. Usually I’ll put gryphons in group 1 too and mortars or flying machines in 3 (if no casters) though depends on what other units I have as well. Relatedly, it helps to have the militia you’re creeping with in their own group. Just make sure to unassign them/override the group when you’re done so you don’t accidentally bring them out into a fight later in the game lol.
