1 Terran Grandmaster vs 10 Random ELITE A.I. (WORLD RECORD)

[@uThermal]

Sorry about the FPS drops! It should be quite stable after the second drop :) I tried some re-runs to make it look better but I couldn't manage to avoid the FPS drops on that map :/ I also felt like it was a very rare 1vX challenge with live commentary (instead of a voiceover) so I wanted to share my achievement with you guys anyway, hope you still really enjoy it

[@RedFragmentation]

Genuinely baffling how quickly you churn these out, thank you for all the effort you put into your content!

[@AXharoth]

its totally fine , there was a lot of units

[@miked3723]

It was very polite of you to ask the AI to pp.

[@AXharoth]

@@miked3723 ahaha

[@rend9987]

nice stuff cool video.. kudos

[@Supergoon1989]

I'd quite like to see vs 'Random ELITE A.I.', but with a wildcard twist! One of the players on the enemy team is like a Gold-League player, who is allied with all the AIs and shares their vision. They're low league, but...will be unpredictable. If you leave them alone, they might eventually attack in a direction or a manner that the AIs dont, and catch you unaware. But if you focus too much on hunting them down too early, you will struggle at the front entrance against the AIs. might be difficult to balance your focus, but I would like to see this.

[@ElGranPedrito]

I support this idea! It would be amasing!

[@ZaylidinOfficial]

I also think this would be a great idea, he makes the cheater AI look easy haha.

[@mattmuoio4936]

this would be dope

[@rozmarinideas5340]

Would be funny, but I think Gold might be a little high.

[@ackrite8139]

Obviously impossible

[@baumes_baum8054]

Absolutely love how he types "pp" against the AI

[@kozatas]

yeah but he didn't countdown 3,2,1. He caught them off guard.

[@gaddisin]

Glad I wasnt the only one who noticed that

[@jamescarr858]

Right? Lol

[@adrianbyg5553]

I thought it was for the replay to know when he paused

[@DarkSaruman]

That definitely made me do a double take!

[@danielbeshers1689]

I have a challenge for you: Escort Quest! On this map, do a 2v9 where you have a Very Easy AI ally that you must protect the entire game.

[@AC3handle]

watches as AI gets stupid and 'helps'.

[@brianwang9017]

It is actually extremely easy, the enemy AI is stupid (if Elite) and will only attack places it scouts. Even if the Elite AI killed all the Easy AI's main base, they probably won't even finish the last building if you kill your own allies base and expand on it.

[@romansolar8153]

you are first starcraft youtuber who makes me come for more videos often :) well done. very enjoyable to watch

[@fruchu]

Same here. I got his vids recommened to me all the time by yt and I dont mind :)

[@dabdoc3885]

was any one else screaming NUKE NUKE NUKE when he scanned the absolutely massive army gathering at the choke?

[@ralphm4132]

That group did kinda appear to be waving placards reading "Nuke us plz!" 😀

[@Pravanul]

There may be a good argument for one ghost and one nuke in the future lmao. Could you imagine?

[@richardjamesevans]

I started watching SC2 just over a month or so ago (played early sc back when) Your positive on the spot creative nature and confidence has been really cool to see and helps me with my depression. Thank you

[@boreduser12]

Uthermal is good at making it sound like he's in trouble or something bad is imminent, cause it creates interest in watching and makes us think he did even better than he is already doing. Not just in this game. Should be a writer.

[@kyle52245]

I think it's because of how focused he is on micro, he gets excited killing one worker, and equally gets sad when he loses just one reaper

[@MadMathMike]

Maybe instead of all random you fight 3 of each race plus 1 random. Also, I would love to see you try this 1v10 challenge as Zerg or Protoss too. It's cool to watch you on any race. Good game!

[@Ethan_Burke]

i feel like your one of the only youtubers who says they read every comment and probably actually does do it

[@uThermal]

It's because you guys are just too cool

[@camg3006]

I've never watched starcraft from the players view until I found your videos. I've enjoyed your play since I got into starcraft back in the wings of liberty days and you've always been one of my favorites. Thanks for making such great content and giving us so much of it. Your ability to provide such captivating commentary while playing at such a high level is insane. You are awesome. Thank you for blessing us with your efforts👌🏼

[@synthetic240]

I used to watch from the AI's view all the time too. It's hard rooting for the underdog, but sometimes the AI wins.

[@blacknyellow962]

Always super satisfying to see a defensive wall hold when playing games like this. Great work!

[@andreaboccone2302]

Your commentary/gameplay is so enjoyable that i m watching this without ever played StarCraft!

[@mieux_seul]

really polite of you to tell the 10 A.I.s in chat "pp" before you pause.

[@eelcohoogendoorn8044]

'unsieged tanks have DPS'; glad to hear someone finally saying it. It pains me how common the reflexive-suicide-siege is. Attempting to go back in time and hitting your past self over the head for not sieging earlier, or unsieging more incrementally, is usually the more effective strategy.

[@icountsixrats3753]

Never played this game, randomly stumbled on this channel a few weeks ago and it’s so good :D you explain things very well!! ty for the content!!

[@IlianaC-y9h]

I was originally watching this to prove to my brother people are good enough at this game to play against very high levels of AI but now that i have seen this i am very happy i watched this it was very enjoyable ty

[@boreduser12]

SC3 Terran ability: Portal Opens a portal between two scanned areas and you can attach from one area to the other through this portal window. This way you never need to move your siege tanks!

[@SomeCanine]

>Enemy libs stroll into your 10+ turrets LARGE OOF

[@TheEvinB]

I love that the A.I. basically walled your base off with a worker wall

[@cho4d]

there he is, uThermal keeping it rock steady with the content. *standing ovation*

[@XenKaidos]

would love to see this as a Big Game Hunters variant where the AI isn't going to run out of resources halfway through

[@stevenape377]

Awesome! Super satisfying and interesting, thanks! I'm glad you seem in good health again, too. I can't resist plugging my challenge again: allow at most N of any unit type to be alive simultaneously (apart from SCVs), where initially N=1 and you can increase N as the challenge becomes too hard. That is my dream challenge.

[@crystallizard007]

That last attempt around 20 minutes is a literal Warhammer 40K moment. Shows the roots. Awesome stuff.

[@MissionOverland]

This has got to be the most entertaining SC2 channel

[@Termynater]

This was sick to watch. I sat through and watched it straight through. Gg

[@danuk459]

I'd like to see you to do the exact same challenge again, but as Protoss or Zerg. There is a massive reliance on Siege Tanks in this match (for obvious reasons), so it'd be nice to see how you would deal with it as the other races.

[@ElMeanYo22]

Not possible. Terran are the kings vs AI cause of splash that doesn't require micro.

[@MrStarFlex]

I love how you are able to talk live, about yourself, in the past. So funny to me

[@zepasha8627]

do a 1 grandmaster against 7 zerg I.A. but as a protoss or a zerg incredible serie as always

[@ithirar917]

Would be fun to see this challenge Vs. a single race; 10 Zerg / 10 Terran / 10 Protoss

[@knowledgeispower3212]

Think I said something to the effect long time ago I would pay you for you doing ai random insane challenge. But this ain't the maphacker one. But still good nonetheless

[@uThermal]

Thank you mate

Marc you silly goose. This is a huge improvement for you. Mr Goose who who couldn't build a spine crawler (3 times) to save himself now beating 10 AI. So proud of how far you have come! You must have been in practice mode for hours!! :)

[@PurpleH4z3]

love that every time you micro the unsiege tanks you try to kite with them and endup canceling the autoatacks reducing your dps, low elo style

Awesome match. YES I want to see more of your mega battles. :) THX !

you rock man. and yes you are correct, it is satisfying to see those BC's go to work.

[@stephenw4720]

you handled this ELITE AI and live commentary with ease this time. Must be the 80 insane AI trials you did before. Hard work pays off. Now lets nuke our way to success of beating INSANE RANDOM.

[@Cloudrunner1]

The interesting thing about all those workers at the front is that they were basically blocking the way of the main armies.

[@chaostheory7788]

Amazing as usual Thermy! Can't wait to see the insane AI random 1 v 10 lol

[@Matjo7588dk]

GGwp. I sure would not mind see you trying this on insane firstly ofc. But also could be fun to see you try on the other races.

[@shufflecat3334]

100% want to see insane AIs, even if it doesn't result in a win it would still be interesting to see the challenge! Another idea is 1v10 elite as your main race....Zerg of course!

[@goseigentwitch3105]

I'd like to see if any of the 1v7 challenges are possible playing as zerg or protoss maybe some mass tempest and shield battery strategy

[@Cimee95]

I've seen one where protoss used mass disruptors and won the 1v7 (check Pigs channel, he reposted that 'world record")

[@hsinglim]

Was about to sleep and saw this, and I knew… sleep could wait.

[@azurika_78]

i casually played sc2 back in like 2010 on a shitty laptop and it was my first strategy game on pc, my only other experience was red alert 3 on xbox 360 at the time, my dude, you just got me back into the game i think, i'm installing now.

[@nathankucera9135]

Great work!!! Watching this gave me an idea: "unseiged tanks, unseiged libs, and BCs to gm"

[@ShadowKstr]

No worries about the fps drops. I love your challenges. Another world record. That's so awesome. Be safe.

I would love to see you playing more often a 1v2,3,4 - whatever against other players! :)

32:00 ofc we would like to see the natural step up to insane. this game vs elite A.I. was just a nice warm up :)

[@OrangeLeafRunningWater]

I would enjoy more of you vs multiple players, even if it is like 1 v3Masters, or 1v4 Diamond, 1v5 Platinum type stuff. Or even like 1v9 Bronze/Silver

[@thesunrisers]

These AI challenges are my absolute favorite, thanks man

[@awawawaawawawa2321]

those workers on the bridge are doing a great job blocking the ai pathfinding lol

[@evan_andpris]

Fact: Did you know that Siege Tanks are Turrets too? If you make your Siege Tanks Siege Mode, they will not move and will start shooting like Cannons, but they have more more Range, Damage, and slow FireRate

[@MrStarTraveler]

About the AI upgrades. If SC1 is anything to go by, AI players do get 3-3 eventually but they're not trying to get them as fast as possible. They seem to make upgrades at certain time intervals. And those intervals are really long.

[@mattmuoio4936]

I don't play a lot of SC2, but when I do I just go and beat up the AI until I can reliably beat this AI. Good to know you're at least 10 times better than I am.

[@emerson_west]

Fantastic! And yes, please go Insane ! We need you to go Insane !!!

[@soldier22881]

would be nice when using that color toggle that when an ai surrender their color is changed from red to yellow that way you can ignore defeated bases, and an option for units to no longer attack defeated ai units

[@accrualworld4488]

I’d like to see this with each race.

[@blueberryshocker]

I think it would be cost efficient to go 1 or 2 nukes at a time. Find that sweet spot where they won't hit you, and just wreck some AI's with nukes. Plus it would be uber satisfying to watch lol

[@raidiusgames814]

I wish I could get to this level of play. I wonder if a few Ghost would compliment the Liberators on holding the bridge. Launching a nuke in that area would make the AI retreat long enough repair and rebuild.

[@forgevan]

WHAT!?!?! i actually cannot believe the title .... 1 v 10!?!?

[@maximiliandort3489]

It's been about 10 years since i last played this game, i've never been good at it, and yet here i am hyped about these challenges. Only played campaign and a few games against friends who were just as terrible as i was. Great fun, but what you're doing is - to someone of my level - unfathomable. I can hardly even grasp what is happening. I'm in awe dude.

[@chezeus1672]

it's probably too hard with no restrictions, but can you win a 1v10 against bronze-gold players on this map if they are only allowed to build one unit type (monobattle)?

Fun idea, 1 as 3 vs X Start with a Probe, A Drone, and an SCV + bases. Play as 3 races at once vs AI, maybe even insane!

[@davidjohnson5527]

For a chokepoint map nukes would have helped a ton even if it's just crowd control

[@sebru]

Uthermal you should put your liberators' liberation mode on a stream line straight in front of them instead scattered and left to right so that they would target different units instead of the same and don't stack the circle in the same place!

[@T1stG]

i think the map quite favored for whoever gets the corner bases, the AI with bases at the sides are all bunched together so that's why they expand all the way to the other side of the map since theres no space lol. still, cool game :D

[@vitaligofman1801]

hello, I was wondering why you didn't nuke them in the choke point where they gang up, or do they have some sort of anti-nuke reaction? also I was thinking like "if you don't want to destroy your turrets, maybe do some long-distance mining?"

[@lilkoolaidbro]

Also, congrats on making it to 60k!

[@SSYoung125]

Fps drop is understandable. A 2010 Game engine is trying to calculate for 10 AI all moving at 100+ apm. While your computer is trying to render and calculate for 2,000 unit supply plus explosions and death animations on a non official starcraft map.... fps drop makes sense to me. Honestly it's impressive the game did not crash with that much stuff happening on screen

[@chrisavelino2201]

This was EPIC! Love your video's.

[@xeruexe1624]

Is there no Terran AI that nukes chokes? Cause that was some of the game enders in BW melee: you hold a choke for up to 30 minutes and then a randomly placed Ghost nukes your tank line. How difficult would these challenges be if there were Ghosts trying to nuke the PF and the tanks?
