He Thought He Was Safe Behind His Wall... (BEST Proxy Hatch Game Yet)

[@standhaftgarithos3832]

What I like about these videos is that is that they make me wanna do fun stuff. I'ma go do a proxy hatchery right now!

[@AXharoth]

is that some sexual innuendo?

[@VeryBadPlayerTV]

37:10 your supposed to take a big line of drones like 16-24+ supply in drones build all spore/spine crawlers can't remember which. Then build a bunch of army to fill up the loss in supply. Once 200/200 is refilled cancel the spore/spine crawlers giving you 220+ supply. Allowing you to take massive fights like that while still mining.

[@TheMuffinman191]

Or just actually make spores, they’re the best AA zerg has and you really dont need more than 40 drones at that point.

[@DrMJJr]

As usual, another awesome (Christmas Eve) episode!! Here’s wishing you a wonderful holiday and as always thanks Thermy!! 🎄🎄🎄😘😘😘

Thank you for content and positive mindset. In late games you might attack your creeptumors with broods and then use broodlings to engage,constantly spaming new ones at back line, while your army in safe position. Cheers. Merry Christmas!

You should be bringing a bunch of queens for the transfuses on your broodlords and you can free your supply by making a spore forest in your frontline siege. GG

thermy playing broodlord infestor. these are truly dark times we're living in

[@jAfr0Thunder86]

I haven’t played in years, but back in the day I played random and when I got Zerg, mutas to broodlords with 6ish corrupters was always my goal. If the opponent went air, I’d get more corrupters and less BLs. Although, using vipers to yank a carrier into a mess of corrupters or mutas sounds like a wicked idea.

[@local_cow]

11:44 did he cancel? brood lord challenge? Merry Christmas!

[@KnightNave]

This is truly the of all time. Merry Christmas Thermy

[@ChristofferFlensburg]

As a gold zerg, I can confidently say that they solution to the supply problem with late game BLs is to put down 20 spores, morph an extra 10 BLs and cancel the spores for 220/200 supply. Hax. :D

[@MichaelNatrin]

man i love your content. had i not messed up m hands in my younger years... and stayed focus on competitive gaming i could be where you guys are today.... youtube, twitch with partnership, sponsorships; but sadly, when i was at my peak gaming, "esports" wasn't a term and tournaments weren't a thing. LAN was a thing but since i live in a small city almost town size, and no one games here; just drugs and gang bangin... i coulda goneto WCG Germany in 05 however my family said "there's no future in gaming, you're wasting your time, you need a job, etc etc etc." now look... one of the higher paying jobs in the world with entire highschools AND colleges AND 'gamer houses' around the world... i'm so depressed

[@nigeriannational2416]

Merry christmas uthermal thanks for everything bro

[@lilkoolaidbro]

Recommendation - gotta transition from zerglings a little faster. Sometimes you don't transition at all and it costs you the match. In the first match, you could have went baneling if you wanted to stick with a ground based army

[@AndrewArts]

Zerg life ez life. Look at the terrans struggling 😂❤️

[@gerrrrrify]

I have an idea for a new challenge. You are not allowed to leave your base until your opponent attacks you. Let’s say you can take your natural but other than that you aren’t allowed to scout or move units across the map. Can do any race/build but can’t move out until you’re attacked.

[@ColeS1]

Would love to see a ThinkPad nipple to GM series-- only allowed to use the thinkpad nipple-- no mouse.

[@АртурГабдуллин-ы4л]

At the late game you should do this: 1) get 100000 larvas, a lot of minerals and gas 2) lose all your army in the great fight 3) rebuild your army up to 200 in a 1 second, zerg can do it 4) destroy the opponent P.S. english is not my native language, sorry for misspeling

[@henningbreede6428]

Lategame units like broodlords and ultras take a minute to get, so you will lose about 2 bases in the process. So the opponent then retreating and remaxing puts you in a really bad position. Only unit compositions that are heavy on ling/bane or roaches can remax fast enough.

[@nigeriannational2416]

​@@henningbreede6428 it can be done depending on their army comp

[@АртурГабдуллин-ы4л]

@@henningbreede6428 you don't need broodlords or ultra to desrtoy the low ammount of units. Your opponent also will lose a bunch of forses, if you fight in the good position. Zerg rebuild way faster, than terran or protos, so you can make a lot of lings or roaches and kill an enemy at the second push while he has no units

[@Scawtsauce]

those mutas vs marine

[@yanworkt]

Is it possible to have queens and hatcheries in one control group and inject larvaes all at one just clicking on hatchery miniatures? Closest queen would be chosen for each one. Does it work? Plus for the split brain challenge - you pick bronze players and you tell him what to do and he are going as high as he can, or on the opposite - you do all the mechanics, but he tells you what to do. So you are the sergeant and he is the general.

[@adamhenrie3879]

[@jaisonfoster3262]

literally 200 IQ plays

[@disieh]

The build I keep seeing on ladder is first a random drone comes to main to "scout" and make a proxy hatch in the far corner. While this is happening, a second drone comes to make a second proxy in my nat. Playing against this is super infuriating cause you never know is it just for creep-blocking everything on my side or is it committed queen-snipe-ravager bust. I really wish that one guy who keeps doing it to me would stop.

[@lannesromain1453]

Next challlenge: late game compo zerg!

[@Maroboyzx11]

I think you could next time drop creep from gold all the way to the proxy? 🎉

[@jaeyang9540]

I thought you could have won the game earlier. The way you positioned spine crawlers, attacked bunker then depot. The delays kept you from going in. You got the gold base but never got it running, and you are one of the very few players that doesn’t really use bannelings to bust walls. I think you had almost every single Zerg unit except bannelings lol.

[@amarok-der-fuchs]

I have a question, if I may. At 7:50, there's a mention of "no upgrades yet...", and I've noticed in previous videos that it has been said as well. How does one determine the upgrades that the opponent has? Is this something that just comes with experience (like in this case hoq quickly a ling dies to the marines), or is there some visual hint that I don't see or so... (I'm still fairly new to the game, and curious to learn more about things :) )?
