Uthermal, you are a shining light not only in StarCraft community, you are an example for all of competitive gaming. Thank you, keep up this chill mentality of yours!

I’m scared and dumped myself

[@Dewoy1]

One really good trick in scenarios where your ally ditched you, like in the last game here, is use his drones to mass expand, and use his supply to finance you. So can even get rid of your workers in order to make up for the supply diference in the 2v1.

[@Neon_White]

This!

[@rpontonjr]

Also, use Overseers instead of just observers. Faster, and don't take up supply.

[@butterson8833]

Do i smell a 2v2 200 army supply after teammate left challange? Naahh this is to crazy.. even for uThermal.. or is it?!

[@au1317]

I feel like in a situation like the last game, that would probably take a little too much mental bandwidth. Maybe if his teammate was Terran

[@ErosArkheinym]

@@au1317 You underestimate a pro player at this point in time - Even I managed to clutch a game in diamond for damn near 25 minutes vs 2 players cause my toss left early after a push that i crushed with my mutas lmao

[@uThermal]

New patch and maps looking awesome!! All today's games were fantastic but definitely dont miss game 3 :P Thanks for watching and have a great day everyone

[@spikespiegel190]

Would love to see you take advantage of the faster gateway build time for stalkers vs warp-in

[@MarkMyWordzz]

What a banger that last game was 🎉

[@stackowoflow]

can you energy overcharge teammate’s units, including non-protoss units? or if you neural’d another race and produced their units could you energy overcharge those units lol

[@mr.floppi8275]

you are amazing

[@Echalion]

If i could put a second thumb up for the video i would do it, gg wp. I like the way you always stay positive/silly in these games

[@borgar1765]

i love how the smaller matchmaking pool and bigger player number per match means there's more of a community feel in the 2v2 matchmaking

[@frostmichael8360]

gosh, the accelerations in APM / speak / camera moves after 38:00 is crazy, super sayian mode activated

my dude just owned the 1v2 lmao, no matter the game people have such weak defeatist mental that's it's brutal to see or play with, kudos for being one of those who just never surrender

[@booshmcfadden7638]

I couldn't stand teammates with the mentality that they drop as soon as things get difficult because they have that fear before the game even starts. Thermy switched from cheesy salt-miner to tournament mode real fast. That was epic.

[@greg3072]

You should play H.O.T.S. Snowflakes everywhere at least the skill it takes to play SC weeds it out at this level a bit.

[@AshraNashal52]

@@greg3072 I'm impressed that game is still around. I wonder how many players it has now. 500? 1000? When I played like... 10 years ago, there weren't very many players so I can't imagine what kind of life support it's on now.

[@celes7ial]

That episode was one of the best for me too. Marc's crisis management is immaculate, it really shows how creative strategic thinking can get you out of anything. The best about Marc's playstyle for me is that he can figure out different unexpected strategies along the game, and the enemies aren't sure how to answer to them. Fell in love with your channel

[@andydougy4347]

That last game was insane. I would love to see your partners reaction to realizing you won.

[@JohannaMueller57]

she showed it?

[@yellowice0]

53:39 He shows a private message screen saying “I won” to which he replied “Noice” probably missed it cause it’s really small on the screen

[@Therunner77452]

feels like a lot of people talking about the new patch have been really hating on where Protoss is and Protoss not getting the buff they wanted. Really happy to see uThermal loving the new patch and enjoying where Protoss went with the new patch! loved the vid!

[@ja3482]

[@davids182]

Oh wow, I don't actually play SC2 anymore or watch besides uThermal. I assumed Protoss got buffed because that's how Uthermal makes it sound.

[@au1317]

Everyone I've seen theorycrafting the patch notes was dumping on energy recharge, but uThermal really showed the strengths of it in these games! It seems like a pretty powerful force multiplier for early units with energy just like he was doing with sentry first. The early high templars were insane against zerg!

[@magnusbjarni]

Protoss being able to have such an incredibly aggressive play style is something I love! Protoss has generally been a defensive race with very massive attacks, but with the new mothership and the energy recharge ability, it can be almost as aggressive as Zerg with slightly less firepower than Terran doing a medevac drop. It opens a lot of doors and makes the games less predictable

[@samuraichilton]

I think your ability to laugh and joke when in these tense situations is one of your extremely strong points. Where some people would be sweating and freaking out, you are like, this is going to be so silly check this out guys.

[@EllipticalReasoning]

I remember a lot of commenters being very critical of the energy recharge as a major defensive nerf, but seeing this I think they may have seriously underestimated the amount of scouting/offensive pressure it gives.

[@TomJerry12933]

"I felt like I was playing archon" --thats a pretty good complement!

[@aussj4link214]

There's such a high level of irony in an alien mothership being "abducted" lmao

[@walkedale1986]

Thanks!

[@haydenvida5641]

43:40 Idk why I thought about this, but teammates workers don't use your base, so it's possible the long distance drone mining could be more disruptive to income cause they would leave some of yours bouncing. Probably not in this particular match, but if these 2v2s stay a thing that might become relevant. lol

[@Storm-p7n]

Any sane creature: You ca- uThermal: Watch and learn the clutch! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@seldoon4298]

awesome, I wake up, get breakfast and sit down to a perfectly timed release uThermal vid

[@hellomrpostman]

Love the free mentality coaching in this vid. I can be intimidated by opponents I know are strong in the ladder so your insight is helpful

[@kusachki]

Wow a 7 seconds ago thermal vid, that's gotta count for something ED: OOF THOSE STORMS IN THE FIRST GAME I'm kinda yet to see the new patch changelog but that energy recharge seems like a very strong thing for combacks and emergency storm warp-ins 40:49 no, those ultralisks were going to be a big problem, because their size was increased in the balance patch

[@dewldew1921]

Hey thermal, i've been thinking, when your teammate leave, you can use all of his supply for economy, and get rid of all your workers. So your "main race" is only army.

[@RancorSnp]

Yeah, I think so too. Especially with zerg ally, hatcheries are cheaper than Nexuses, easier to expand the eco

[@celes7ial]

@@dewldew1921 well, I think he would love to, if he didn't need to fight in multiple directions and think about enemy's moves every second

It's so much fun to see you excited and having fun!

[@seang8462]

[@フワー]

Hey Thermy, I know you always mention about not having rapid fire on certain units for protoss warp ins. You don't need to have it! :D As long as you have some keys on rapid fire it works for every single unit. Let's say you use Grid with T as the normal attack key, as long as T is a rapid fire key you can use it to quickly warp in every protoss unit. On standard Grid Stalker would be E + hold shift + T (or hold shift + E + T) and it rapid fire warp ins a row of stalkers. It works with EVERY rapid fire key you have set as well. Remember Shift + Unit + Rapid Fire Hotkey = Rapid Fire Warp In :)

[@thelastdwemer]

100% agree with you about map variety. People complain because different map shapes and spawn locations mean they can't play the same rehearsed build every match, but thinking and adapting on the fly is an important skill and it's more entertaining if people need to react to their circumstances.

[@ErosArkheinym]

19:50 pings and info like this will never annoy your teammate. I for one would love to be reminded that I need to rerally 20+ workers lmao Also in mobas is where people spam ping like they get a dollar every time - there it gets annoying. Here it's just casual info cause you don't have time yourself to be wasting on more than 2 pings.

[@ryvulet8639]

Hey i didn't play much sc2 but i played a lot of scbw when i was a kid. fun to revisit the series watching your videos because you explain so well.

[@stalliondave9338]

Makes so much sense that MS cant be abducted. I always thought it was so useless, countered by 1 Viper then your most expensive and important unit is gone at the cost of some energy

I don't know why but Marc's team chat gives me much joy. Seeing his teammates be like 'what the FUCK are you doing don't rush colossus' and them transitioning to 'sorry sir I wasn't familiar with your game' at the end when they win kills me

[@prack7423]

this series is by far your best new idea! I love the 2v2's and I love that you have a new random partner every time.

[@martink9481]

Back in the days of WoL, there were maps in 1v1, that had not 2 but 4 possible spawning positions. A couple of those maps (like Shakuras Plateau) were also used as some of the 2v2 ladder maps.

[@christophercorvus7691]

Game 2 was awesome. Loved their coordination.

The Protoss uses a city sized warship and time manipulation technology to slow down their opponents. The Zerg uses green slime. Terrans use grenades.

Fairly hilarious a person being afraid of their opponent not knowing who is on their side. Strangely Biblical and spiritual parallel there. A beautiful metaphor.

[@whateverppl1229]

17:23 no you can not. I had a teammate leave and i was microing his stalkers and tried to recall and it didnt because i used my nexus and not his :(

@uThermal, great game, so much going on forgot the upgrades, I was in game 3, Nugs. Will try and make changes to improve. Thanks for the Video, been watching your vids for a while. Feels cool knowing I played one of my sc2 idols.

[@AndresLopez-hr8kv]

This is one of the best series you ever did. It's funny as hell.

[@DareDevilMB44]

That mothership recall, to nexus recall alpha strike was insane. you pulled it off more than once! that was just crazy man. ok, riffing off that idea, Proxy a nexus nearby and you can do the same trick, but keep your army beating the opponents down when you teleport to where they aren't anymore. you just lure them away from where you are going to hit next. Could work in a 1v1 I think.

[@royalcanadianbearforce9841]

Every Uthermal upload is the best games yet! I've absolutely loved watching these! Thanks for posting them for us!

[@AntiNubDevice]

Going into that last game, I thought for sure we were gonna get a bonus game 4. No way we end with that much time left, right? And then we get uThermal SC2 at its peak. That was so fun to watch, even as a biased Terran guy and BC enjoyer.

In these situations like the last game, you really gotta use your allies supply for something, whether its pure drones and hatcheries, or corrupters, or something.

[@ddaniels]

Love seeing thermy so pumped/excited. He's like a little kid ❤😂😊

[@MrLincoln87]

GOD DAMN! That last game! You're a god! I can't believe you managed to pull that off - not only are you beating two other players, but you're trying to do it while controlling two players Can't believe old mate left Backseat gamer, but I feel you can do better once your team mate leaves you.. seen it in another game or two, but once they leave you should use team mate for economy, use their supply for workers (and you already figured out you can use your own bases for collection) - so expand with your nexus, and supply workers using their drones - that way you can still energy overcharge and recall, build cannons easily, but at the cost of an extra 100minerals.- guess you could easily go hatch and queens And then once your protoss army maxed any spare minerals just hit lings Easy to say but hard to implement mid game in the midst of battle!

[@carlosvaldez3093]

that mothership double recall is a scary tactic. it's like having the battlecruiser jump.....on all of your units lmao

[@dyg107]

SC2 etiquette: If a player in 2v2 gg's but does not leave, shouldn't it be told to the enemy team?

[@ElysaraCh]

in the last game, it would've been a bit of an investment, but the extra mobility from a mothership's recall might have been a huge boon to counteract the mobility of the BCs

[@ambion19]

Would love to see hallucinations tanking those yams

[@darkskywalkerek]

that MS + recall attack and recall back to main base was awesome :)

[@marzix427]

Map RNG (when I first started playing 1v1 semi-serioiusly) when SC2 first launched, the randomness in where you started is part of the challenge of the game imo.

[@biomutarist6832]

That last game had me on the edge of my seat. Epic!!

[@mr420quickscops2]

[@Cephalopopo]

Can protos' energy recharge be used on allied units? If so you could play insane support matches where you enable your allies to do massive raven, ghost, Templar or investor plays while going for a mothership yourself.. your team content is superb and your mindset is simply inspiring!

Okay. Uthermal. Thats the formula. Whatever just went on in the first game. The backstory to the meta and the other players knowledge of each other and then you coming in and crushing.
