For us Marc is a lovable, cheerful guy who lightens our days... For the opponents he is like the most annoying, sickening Dark Souls boss who seems impossible to beat. XD

[@chrisgriffith1573]

"Ok, lets launch a million mules to get this- Oh, that actually IS a million mules!"

[@kindlin]

_The Mule Hammer arrives!_

[@pixelhistoricalwarriors]

That final viking landing fumble was heartbreaking to watch. Fantastic game!

[@maximk9964]

Those mules were too juicy of a target, bro got baited

[@DrMJJr]

That was some glorious destruction!!! Talk about ONE FALSE MOVE ENDING THE GAME!! I was totally prepared for a much long cat and mouse game…

[@AltoidDealer]

Ah man one of those times I regret reading a few comments before watching

[@jmartyt234]

Petition to rename the series to "Widowcruiser to GM" or "Battlemine to GM" :)

[@gcl2783]

Battlemine.

[@owlcaps7876]

How bout Wittlemiser to GM?

[@matthewprawl6221]

Widowcruiser

[@amythystmiriel]

Between this and the Cyclone/Mine series he's absolutely a mine-crafter now :3

[@charlesratcliffe6839]

The mass mule drop to vacuum up those minerals makes me so happy.

[@prostokrasavchik8837]

i couldn't stop smiling after seeing 25 command centers and uthermie: let me put 4 command centers more

[@afwaller]

In the game against Jason you were like the evil final boss of the single player campaign, unbeatable huge battle cruiser fleets

[@Blandge]

Hell yeah! Best part of the day. Edit: I'd like to propose a challenge: "The Upside Down." You can only use land units that mostly shoot up, and air units that mostly shoot down. That means Banshees, Liberators, and Thors.

[@SethBurgess]

Would love to see you drop mules to kill tanks (or PF?) via tank splash once you have your 18 orbitals going..

[@bullpup1337]

yeah!

[@roma540]

That's EXACTLY what I thought!

[@HerpMcDerperson]

is that not bad-mannered? heh

[@roma540]

@@HerpMcDerperson IT'S A LEGITIMATE STRATEGY!

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

1st game u gave the guy 3 seizures XD what a game

[@itspch]

I played against BC widowmine on ladder/stream tonight. It’s so toxic, but I gotta give props to uThermal for making these wacky strategies popular on ladder

[@ZorkToma]

Beautiful first game. I'm a huge fan of all your content. Been watching your videos since end of bong cloud/ into penguin brothers. You are an absolute madman and still, for the most part, a totally solid commentator. I think this whole challenge channel has made you even better than when you were still pro. Love your content and will always watch it. I do want to see you do another off race challenge.

[@matthewwallace5682]

lol ... that mule drop 😂

[@antokh]

I haven’t played StarCraft in maybe 10 years. Don’t really follow pro leagues or watch the gsl. But uthermal making the game feel alive and fresh. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@zackblack1824]

I like how you're starting to lay Widow Mines like Creep

[@clifflenoir4323]

And turrets, and PFs 😂

[@ailolen3954]

Would love to see uThermal drop mules on siege tank lines when they are split and also on mineral lines where siege tanks are guarding. You can get so many kills and with so many orbitals the mule loss wont hurt at all. 😊

[@Yumari-Mai]

Holy crap that mass repair with the mules on the PF + BCs reinforcing near the end. Tell me it wasn't *art* :D

[@junkmauler]

Battle Cruiser Widow Mine is my favorite series you've done so far!

[@Nico_Dica]

Cutting their retreat with a bunch of widow mines is always so satisfying to watch 😄

[@roarmalf]

That was indeed freaking epic! Thanks for continuing to make great content, and sharing your relentless positivity, it always brightens my day!

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Well, I had some minerals and a Command Center too, I told my SCVs, "Boys, gonna build me something new" I got a Battlecruiser, the biggest one you've seen, I'm gonna take it out to the stars and make the galaxy scream. Well, I'm zoomin' through the cosmos, going faster than light, Gonna show those aliens what a Terran's really like, With my Yamato Cannon loaded, and my Marines all set, I'm gonna rule the sector, you can bet. I'm the king of the starship, with a fleet at my command, Got my science vessels scanning, looking for my next big plan, I'm gonna crush the Zerg and make the Protoss bow, With my Battlecruiser flying high, I'm gonna show 'em how. So if you see me out there, flying through the void, You better watch your back, 'cause I'm the real McCoy, With my laser batteries blazing and my shields up tight, I'm gonna rule the universe, day and night.

[@BrewKnowURSA]

That planetary "chosen ground" was a pretty epic committal by both of you. GGWP.

[@nicklindberg90]

Creeping closer to that 100k! Cheers!

[@ChuckCanada1]

BC Mines to GM has to be my favorite weird one yet. When the going gets good BC/Mines don't disappoint with the action :p Not to mention the salt you farm while doing this hahahahahahaha.

[@xendelaar]

Wowsers that was really intense. Didn't think you would be able to beat that last match

[@zanuuh]

My favorite series so far!

[@fateriddle14]

32:12 This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in SC2!

[@Osk94]

Man, I haven't played SC2 since about 2012 and I mainly just watched the e-sports, but I love these videos.

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Mercury Blues ~ k.C Parody version Change to Battlecruiser BLues. Well if I had minerals, I'd tell you what I'd do I'd build a battlecruiser and fly among the stars so blue I'd be traveling so fast, I'd leave those zerglings behind I'd be the king of space, with my battlecruiser so fine Well I love my battlecruiser, she's a mighty fine machine She's got guns and missiles, the likes you've never seen She's got a hyperdrive engine, and she flies just like a dream I'm gonna take her to the stars, and be the talk of the galaxy Well I'm gonna fly her high, and I'm gonna fly her low I'm gonna blast those protoss, and leave 'em in the dust below I'm gonna take her to the planets, and explore the unknown I'm gonna ride my battlecruiser, till the end of the universe is shown So if you see me flying, with my battlecruiser so bright You know I'm on a mission, to explore with all my might I'm gonna fly among the stars, and see what I can find With my trusty battlecruiser, the universe is all mine.

[@jackryan6446]

Forward turret/planetary/minefield fighting positions should definitely be a staple strat for late game battlecruiser/mine. Always having somewhere to retreat your bc's when they don't have teleport will be a game changer!

[@IsaacFNghost]

Wonder how fast you can mine a base fry with spamming mule the entire time ? Probably insanely fast

[@yommers]

I live for these late game chaos episodes! I'd love for you to do some challenges with the other races - Skytoss probably wouldn't be too interesting but massing ultras, archons, or basing a build around motherships would be amazing to see.

[@michaelcallisto]

That BC vs Viking battle was epic

[@Vaprous]

33:37 - It says a *lot* about your map control that he literally didn't have any intel on almost anything on your side of the map at any point of the game. He basically wasn't allowed on your side of the map after the first BC rolled out and it just snowballed from there.

[@VenturiLife]

"How many mules should I drop??" .... "Yes"

[@benihanah]

Game 2, Marc maxes his greed stats and bullies his opponent into bankruptcy. Idk if I can say well played, but man was it brutal to take such heavy losses and keep grinding on. Screw it, well played!

[@omegaslast]

the end of game 2 was like some ender game moment, didnt see that teleport coming at all

[@marcaudette173]

Amazing game, loved it! Super campy like I’ve been wanting to see. When you have that many ccs you can scan and then drop mules to distance mine out bases.

[@IsaacFNghost]

Bruh thermy laid like 30 command centers down on that last game holy shit lmao

[@ike0072]

Hit that hot 2v2 / 4v4 with your favorite ex-pro / streamer! Marine / Roach with 1-1 timing in 4v4 with shared army and economy is going to be shenanigans out the ass.

[@potato3264]

Zealot Printer Go Brrrrr to GM - would be hilarious

[@brettforbes]

Hey @uThermal you mentioned the other day that you were going to do a full guide of Bronze to GM, or something similar. I forgot to put my comment on the video, but this would be super useful. I know your channel has a lot of old, or even young, newbies like myself who need a step-by step guide to build skills/apm, so this would be super useful. Please build this for the community, who watch all of your videos but lack confidence to give the competitive gaming a go. Please do this beginner teaching series for us, thanks

[@user-dn9nt6ib7r]

Jason is a badass Terran

[@LXWiseman]

That TvT at the end was awesome, great game.

[@geuros]

Was funny how you completely ignored one of your bases in the TvT haha. Like "nope lemme mine your bases real quick first"

[@clifflenoir4323]

Better to mine out the contestable bases first and save the safe ones for later

[@rustyreckman2892]

Watching the mass of Vikings run from the mines was awesome

[@Lytalm55]

The second game was a pure joy to watch, really good game from both of you and your oponent!

[@dogabutila]

I think the thing that will take this to the next level is more efficient use of mines.

[@clivah1499]

There's a petition to rename this series, what about "The Mine Cruiser" strategy?

[@WhyWhatWhoWhenWhyAgain]

ART!! BATTLE CRUISER ART!!

[@cosmosorbust]

That is the most MULEs I have seen in my life.

[@caloreen1992]

I am a victim in one of the coming episodes. I also did not put up a good fight I rolled over like a sickly dog.

[@ufftatabummbumm]

first win was definitely a rage quit :D

[@njdarda]

that TvP was exquisite

[@gustavomaia4975]

Here's an idea for a challenge. You can do this with any race: you're allowed to build whatever you want, but you can only have X amount of each unit at any one time. I'm not sure what's the right number for X, but probably something between 3 and 6.

[@maximk9964]

I never had good luck using BC cheese vs Protoss, even when I won, it felt like BC was a mistake

[@EpicPrims]

thats what she said " Deez Nuts" ^^ keep it up Marc really enjoying your content and looking forward for your beginer tutorials

[@adamtennant4936]

Another epic outing!

[@rockyweinstein5826]

its not gras.. it is steam - it was gras :D

[@Driven22]

Excellent game, great job

[@TheBabababa]

Sensor tower to GM

[@kevinhall6241]

I just wanna know one thing. How the heck do you hotkey your armories on 0 without even looking down?! Muscle memory is such a weird thing. I used to use 0 for ebay and armory but I think I saw Clem or someone using CC hotkey and just tab and that seemed so much more efficient to me so I adopted that. It might be fun to add a keyboard cam.

[@diseabronx5075]

Mark looks like an absolute legend while playing. Though it might be because I watched at 2X speed.

[@trenttonnellier2344]

I was saf to see PF rush go but this series is TOO GOOD! Haha

[@bkizers]

I don't understand why you don't use a couple Ravens with your Battle Cruisers especially when playing against Protoss. They work just like a Observer. When Protoss is scouting around with 30 Tempest and 15 Observers against your Widow mines and Battle Cruisers it might give you a little edge on your side.😊

[@joeking5215]

In the end you forgot to repair BC with buch of SCV's

[@benluther1824]

another challenge idea: no more than X number of any particular unit (like no more than 3) other than scvsso max 3 reaper, hellion, marine, etc

[@mendoanz]

One fatal mistake by landing all viking annihilate him at the last game...so heart breaking 😅

[@mbag012]

That second game was epic

[@Joisthanger1]

My god this was some good shit.

[@sc2starkey]

Beautiful end

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

Uuf as a Zerg that was scary

[@Ty-bz7zx]

B A N G I N ' !

[@DrBonely]

Great TvT!

[@colejones9406]

What if you fought the vikings and just dropped 20 mules to repair with since he didn't have ground

[@chezeus1672]

vikings can kite bcs (except yamato). on paper pure bc can't win even with infinite repairs. so he still needs to force a fight and hide once the vikings get out of range. mule drops to repair would still be good, maybe not 20 for every fight, though.

[@matthewsemenuk8953]

I enjoy a good long own the map kinda game!

[@gergage6]

Can you hover a building over another building to hide it? Like hover a factory over the fusion core to hide it?

[@YarikTH]

Technically it might be possible for a while. But when vision got lost, then enemy will see your landed building without any flying distractions. And I'm not sure that one building is enough anyway.

[@SaLaGaDH]

amazing game!

[@damiens4601]

How is that not too many CCs ?

[@valpanig]

pure demon power

[@dyg107]

GG!

[@Jefafa824]

WidowBattleMineCruiser!

[@craig4811]

Let's go!

[@FlawlesSanshiro]

..man i just wish that last game would drag through forever... Lock your opponent in and when they finaly NEED to expand they do and all the map has been mined out and infested with turrets and planetaries

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

what if you put some scv's on autorep like close to the wall, and then you can teleport there. autorepair!

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

I mean, for us normal people perhaps not as skilled as Marc here

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

and I know it's not efficient

[@paulberry5750]

Game of Throws

[@vitaligofman1801]

hello again, if you face a block i believe you should be allowed to unlock all reapers for the game as a failsafe

[@thecommonsensican]

Build more offensive turrets?

[@cho4d]

poor jason gettin bullied xD

[@tux6353]

gg

[@yamilrosa6839]

Hey thermy, how come you have great memory? When did you noticed?

[@phillgizmo8934]

I know what counters WM+BC the best. It's BC+WM.

[@Kirk.television]

Let's go

[@knappador]

Could the rules add a Raven but only for AAM?

[@Frankiscisco]

Would it be disrespectfull to drop mules in the enemy mineral line, in the late game?

[@nicheva417]

Is it three losses in a row which causes the challenge to fail or...?

[@ayehtunohn]

Instead of sending SCV to their graves to free the supplies, why not let them accompany the BCs in the attack. They can absorb damange or repair the BCs.

[@kevinhall6241]

I tried this build on ladder and lost to mass carrier. :( Any tips?

[@JayMMecra]

Tempest Disrupter to Grandmaster

[@Go-ah-oold]

How many phoenixes do you need to kill one battlecruiser?

[@cyberkekosis]

yes

[@cyberkekosis]

BC has 550 HP and 3 armour (unupgraded) and stays vulnerable for 1 second whilst jumping. Phoenix has 5x2 damage which is 2x2 because armour ignores 3 damage from each shot. Cooldown is 0.79. Range of shooting is not superior to BC sight range. Given both players played their micro correctly BC gets shot 2 times from each Phoenix. That means you need 550/2/2/2=69 Phoenices to kill BC before it jumps. It's 138 supply of it. It's not as bad of a trade as attempting to delete an Ultralisk with unsupported Lings but still completely awful.
