Trying to follow thermys ZvZ is harder than figuring out what is going on in a michael bay transformers fight.

[@SawyerSGN]

To see where your Ravager biles will land during the liberator conundrum at 30:40, notice that your target actually glows red when your cursor is in the correct spot, this is true for most AoE spells.

[@LyuboRyuk]

Nice tip

[@kgeo2686]

Also turn on flyer markers always on

[@belgid]

didn't know that, thanks!

[@adv2ht]

Let's begin. Love this guy. A long time ago he decided, screw it, I'm just gonna go for it, and has been entertaining us ever since.

[@lmadar3]

Can you pull off Harstem's most stupid cheese where he abducts an off-class worker (say an SCV), neuros it, builds a command center and buildings and does a raven-lurker push?

[@BernadoTopedo]

❤

[@FlawlesSanshiro]

lol that would be nuts!

[@Rynosnoborder]

I would love to see uThermal pull this off!

[@genuz]

is that even possible in SC2?

[@irrelevantfish1978]

@@genuz It's absolutely possible, but ridiculously difficult, requiring a relay line of Infestors terminating in a clump with enough energy to keep the SCV neuraled long enough for the structure's build time. However, if the structure is a CC, you can then build Zerg SCV's and have access to the entire Terran tech tree.

[@Gnollface]

you can activate something in the UI that gives all flying units a pointer to their ground equivalent posission :) helps a lot with biling! love these games, you really reignited my love for playing on the ladder! (edit: autocorrect changed biling to billing XD )

[@eclipseeffigy]

uThermal spreading creep from his own base as early as 8 : 50 into the game?! Look at mr big guy here improving his zerg with great strides! 😂

Love you Bro. Please keep making videos I watch every single one and you're made for this.

[@RD-rm6qm]

Ive been watching your video for a long time and I can confirm this was one of the Zerg games of all time 😂 Classic uThermal game

[@RoyalZarak]

Mr UThernal I’ve been playing starcraft games for 25 years, Let me just say your videos helped me get back into the game and has been very entertaining and helpful to me foe this month. your strategies helped me get twelve wins tonight after losing a bunch couple of days ago because I didn’t know what build order to do now that the probes are 12 instead of 6 Thank you very much for your videos

[@thefatherinthecave943]

uThermal should do an irl Zerg cheese where he hunts down his opponent IRL and consumes them to gain their gamer powers

[@proutytyler1]

That second game was fucking WILD! Your hold was insane against that ling all-in!

[@beauu.]

great vid! 😊

[@redredbluemustard]

I’m excited to watch!

[@tomlawrence8710]

That last game was tons of fun to watch

[@MrMmaver]

uthermal not linking the main and natural with creep stresses me out so hard

[@YogonKalisto]

noticed u've started anthropomorphizing your units, do we have a winterstarcraft enjoyer here? "brendaaaaaaaaaaaa?" "shuttup karen, you made me inject the hatchery again!"

[@DrMJJr]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kindlin]

I think Brenda, specifically, is coming from Lowko. He names all his units, but I think it all started with the Brenda and The Knitting Crew.

[@Spicy_Tiramisu]

Love this series. Can we see more of the spine rush?

[@arturoaranetaii2624]

I can’t stop watching this series every day

[@SChen-ei8gx]

At this point I think uthermal is the most famous SC2 bro.

[@Batmane812]

great as always haha

[@SmithnWesson]

I love your content. Sometimes I see you have a queen sitting there doing nothing and you have no creep spread. I always notice that for some reason.

[@walterstarmans2430]

Haha 15:07 is the only time I heard your Dutch slip through

[@Dr_Baphomet]

I would love to see some burrowed roach schenanigans next episode :p

[@immarudamu4508]

Sick fungals in that last game! ❤

[@nuteronix5799]

You should do a challenge where the one unit that survived an epic attack must stay alive till the end of the match...as a game add on. It would make end game play entertaining

[@phillgizmo8934]

Thermy, whould you be so kind and try to use overseer's contamination ability. Just saw a game of Serral vs Clem and delaying siege tanks seemed pretty effective. Also early burrow gameplays is underused, while you can save drones by burrowing and forcing extra scans, thus less mules.

[@Nebral]

😂I had a great time today, what a game brooo. So much happening at the time 😁😄😁😄

[@kesatola3554]

I think it would be funny that the next time someone recognizes you, you do some stupid full greed cheese. Something absolutely insane like pool first, quick lair to melt opponents brains while actually you are getting ninja expands all over the map and droning like a madman. You would give your opponents brain damage, guaranteed (and probably yourself as well).

[@Rtheghost]

Such great zergling trades on the second game

[@fred.dekker]

absolute epic games 🤩

[@CamiloCBG]

Fungos is just an absurd ability.

[@Jargolf86]

Much Love for Ultraliscs! Maybe expensive and good to counter, but they are beautiful and a massie Ultraliscs Charge at the right Time is a Gamechanger!

[@erikhaynes5506]

A+ content.

[@Jdog-tt8qe]

That last game was over five minutes before it ended. felt kinda bad for the terran

[@gingeral253]

Thermy is learning the Zerg ways

[@Chatrak_San]

Just finished watching the series where you play really greedy - I wonder, what about a challenge where you're only allowed to half-saturate each of your bases? 8 SUVs on crystals and 3 on gas? You'd be forced to take and hold a lot of extra bases just to match the economy of the opponent which means you'll have to get a lot of worthwhile trades throughout the game. Could be a tricky challenge... just a thought

[@Mystikdynasty03]

You have to then on "show flyer helper" in gameplay option so know where to bile airunits.

[@SawyerSGN]

It's nice but not mandatory, since the best way to tell which units an AoE spell will affect is to simply look for the red flashing glow that envelops your target once your cursor is close enough.

[@pevigom]

I like this !

[@Kirk.television]

Let's go!

[@vampiremind]

Hey @uThermal what is happening with your second channel? I wanr to see new epic games there mate :D

[@uThermal]

Don't currently have enough time to work both channels, not sure when I'll get back to it ^^

[@stevenape377]

Hey, I have a challenge to GM idea. At the start of the game you announce to your opponent, "My challenge: I will answer any questions you have about my game honestly. Feel free to ask. GLHF".

[@FlawlesSanshiro]

last game was tons of fun to watch

[@asimolok]

uthermal coming hard to downtown great games

that would have been a travesty

[@maximk9964]

I'm a pretty casual player, and so far I've only ever played Terran on the ladder. But sometimes I'm tempted to try Zerg, maybe something cheesy?

[@kaisershen107]

Learn the fundamentals mechanics of Zerg first :). It’s helpful for cheese variations

[@maximk9964]

@@kaisershen107 For sure, I'll at least watch PiG's bronze to GM on Zerg to get the fundamentals.

[@AngelusMortis6000]

Episode 8 and Thermy finally does some creep spread... Starting from a nydus in the opponents natural... Why do things normally when you can do it the Uthermal way? 🤔

[@AC3handle]

what does NN mean?

[@tobija3726]

did you pitch down your voice a little? :D or maybe my YT is just broken

[@Someone-ix9cx]

maybe a zerg gm can give you a lesson? would be fun to watch :)

[@snowdog90210]

I think you should announce your cheese to your opponent and see if he can do anything about it

[@balazsfenyes3880]

If he doesnt lie and tell the cheese, he 100% will loose. These are GM players not low MMR.

[@john_says_hi]

I like the disgusting cheese parts

[@ErenisRanitos]

In Soviet Russia, the creep spreads you.

[@psluxton]

I'm videoing the comment and coming a like in the video section, sure for!!! 😁

[@timreutemann9223]

Learn to use Nydus for retreat. Don't throw away 4 queens. Don't pull back roaches across the map. You got a worm for that.

[@natecw4164]

Microbial Shroud and Contaminate to GM? 😁

[@TheMrScathis]

The two drones in the main doing nothing for half of the last game deserve to be fired

[@catbert7]

10:33: Oof, that was nearly a fatal error! Why not put the 2nd Spine behind the first, so 2 Queens can easily block the resulting gap after losing the front Spine? But I suppose you were just trying to make it entertaining, neh? ;p 29:00: Fungal range has never seemed so long! xD

[@illt3ck]

Downtown to GM?

[@FloridaManYT]

what ever happened to Protos Dragoons?

[@ja3482]

When they die a second time their brains are no longer transplantable 😢

[@Toast_94]

The means to build Dragoons was lost when Aiur was taken by the Zerg. The Nerazim of Shakuras meanwhile realized that stealth was not going to be enough so they started making Stalkers, which filled a similar enough role to fill the gap that the Protoss as a whole used them (especially without the racist conclave around).

[@amythystmiriel]

@@Toast_94 also a lot of the existing dragoons were upgraded to immortals

zvz is only ever at most zergling, baneling, queens. I don't really like watching them lol uThermal is so fun to watch in any other matchup

[@azc2439]

[@genuz]

Can you please do the "Legendary Bongcloud" challenge, where you have to take a base on the opponents side of the map and do a SCV harass while flying there?

[@IcariumGaming]

Do nothing for five minutes with a scv pull and expect it to do anything?

[@genuz]

@@IcariumGaming I've seen it work in one of the funniest game I've ever seen. If anyone could get it to work a few times it would be uthermy, but ofc it would be almost impossible reaching GM. 5 minutes though? makes me feel you just commented to be an arse, or maybe you are playing a different mappool than everyone else. Also remember Mark easily got bongcloud to high GM, it turned out to be one of his easiest challenges.

[@IcariumGaming]

It takes about two minutes for an overlord to reach the other side of the map on a medium/small map, a command center is slightly faster than the 0.9 with 0.94. However he needs to land to collect minerals to start building a depot. He would then be unable to collect minerals for the few minutes flight to the opponent's side, and if we are doing a bongcloud then we are looking at the opponents third base. Hoping you don't get scouted, meaning a non direct route to the opponents third base to avoid a scout. You are then killed by their beginner units. If it's a large map, he would need to forfeit, wasting time until he got one of two games to show us where he barely scrapes by. Yes he did get bongcloud to GM, so you want him to do a repeat of it but basically kneecap himself to starting a game five minutes into it? However, sure if you want him to just play a game against some gold league newbs and watch him stomp them.... but if you have been following him long enough you know about the smurfing attacks he has been receiving which more than likely contributed to his mental health issues and saw us without uThermal for a prolonged period of time. I am being a bit abrasive, because it's a horrible idea, no thought put into it. You might as well suggest he play a macro game, of no activity for 2-3 minutes, mining included. It would be difficult but more realistic than your suggestion. @@genuz

[@genuz]

@@IcariumGaming You're completely wrong and it is called a "challenge" for a reason. Also there is no reason why he couldnt mine 50 minerals so the depot would be finished when he lands or bend the rules slightly if needed. Anyway the opponent finding out your only base is somewhere completely unexpected is priceless.

[@IcariumGaming]

I'm completely wrong? It's called an opinion, you can disagree with it like I have with yours, unless you are saying it takes a lot less time to fly an overlord to the other side? You also clearly didn't read my comment as I even addressed him stopping to collect the 50 minerals, which is why there is an increased delay in getting the command center to the other side of the map. So I am wrong about the smurfing allegations affecting uThermal? He is a content creator who creates content for a vast majority of peoples tastes. I'm sorry but based on just the amount of likes you received compared to other ideas, the majority seem to disagree with you as well. uThermal has done a few challenge videos of peoples random nonsense ideas like the one you propose, it wasn't well received garnering a lot less views than his other content. He has already been having issues with not having enough time for his x to GM series, and you suggest he wastes time on this nonsense? There are always those fanboys who cling to that one scenario which would be perfect for them to see, but they don't see it from any perspective other than their nerdgasm. @@genuz
