Fundraiser is up to get Marc a nice fancy box to live in.

[@WandererTheLost]

You have to be careful encouraging him, or Marc's new video will be how many fancy boxes do I have to lose to Serral to beat him with a new race.

[@JSp4wN]

What type of box are we talking here? Refrigerator box or a dishwasher box? 🤪😆

[@Jason-eq6nm]

The fact that uThermal can go toe-to-toe with GM players at a 50% handicap, but then requires a 30% handicap to go on equal footing against the best pro really drives home how much better the pro players are than a typical GM player

[@endefisto123]

Serral is on a league of his own though. He is better than even the typical pro player. Let alone any GM player.

[@Joe-dq2wb]

I think it's like Chess, Chess Rating is exponential with regard to skill level, I suspect SC2 MMR is similar.

[@Okatogurui]

Beastyqt made a video about skill gap between ranked players and top pro players. Turns out the gap is way bigger than I would have thought.

There's pro players, and there are people like Serral and Maru. They're another tier above xD

Awesome you managed to get Serral to do this, but it would have been good to bring him on and talk to him in the video as well.

I've never actually watched a full game from someone who is playing against Serral. That is truly terrifying to watch lol.

[@draigevykhait6141]

It feelt like a twitch chat gm (so low plat) versus an actual high masters player. But then the lower player was an actual gm and still got his butt handed to him.

The cyclone dancing around the lurkers was one of the best things I've seen in SC2

[@JustWatoo]

I once saw one of thermy's opponents interference matrix a ghost to stop a nuke. Was unreal

[@DanLeniwiec]

Reminds me of SlayerBoxer in BW with marines against lurkers.

Lol "tanks do what they do, which is surprisingly not tank" that's a brilliant quote!

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

A tank is differentiated from an APC by its main gun. The job of a tank is direct fire support. The armor is there so it would win against any non tank vehickles.

[@garbuz3324]

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Also "brilliant" is a quality of lighting, but I think we all understood what he meant pretty well

[@levoisaac]

I loughed so hard on this one. Uthermal says "I think he doesn't have that much units left" and hordes of zerlings and banelings flood like 5 more minutes. He was still maxed when the game was over.

[@dynosaysrawr9540]

Peter the scout LOL That 1 hp cyclone killing 3 lurkers is the real MVP

I think I could beat Serral on the 10th time when his units get a 100% health reduction. Great content 😄.

I like how g2 seemed somewhat reasonable for a moment from uThermal's perspective and then he taps out and Serral has 15k/8k resources in the bank. 😂

[@menyaZavootMuzzy]

Ya that was to me one of the most extreme examples I've seen of how dominant Serral is. Thermy looked to be playing pretty well, and then you see the units lost and the bank for Serral... so humbling.

[@kevinchang5082]

Yeah i almost thought thermy was winning for a sec.

[@valdisscoding2644]

Yay, you got that creep tumor in Game 1! That counts as a win vs Serral :P

Do all the matchups! Get Clem and Maxpax to play the challenge, this was seriously so fun to watch.

[@garbuz3324]

You gotta super to bankroll that kinda project

[@ougi2351]

I don't think this challenge works with tvt, even at a 10% hp nerf you probably just die to reapers every game. Clem has crazy reaper micro but the snowball effect with reaper and hellion health is too strong in tvt.

[@Tidal_Gamin]

This video is amazing man I have always wondered what the skill diff would be like cause you do crazy good on ladder. Serral is so awesome what an incredible mind he has. Thanks for this one def one of my favorite videos so far keep it up!

When he said his goal was to preserve his ego at the start I swear I heard "Preserving my Eco". He failed at both

uthermal has a massive ego. He genuinely thought he outplayed handicapped Serral by driving around cyclones for nearly 2 hours :D

Since I started watching you in September 2022 I waited for a video with Serral. Thanks for the vid.

The way Serral is constantly on top of everything while I remember losing games to simple stuff like a drop and a couple of reapers harassing at the same time... Wtf.

[@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714]

Yea, never played Starcraft, but I can never play Chen or Meepo in Dota2 and in Age of Empires II I just a move my trash units to enemy base while microing a few gold ones and thats the most micro I can do.

[@stysner4580]

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 For me the problem is my micro is decent, but when I micro I don't macro and the other way around. I can also just micro at 1 location at a time or I devolve into either retreating everyone or a-moving everyone and not looking at it (I'd like to say to go macro but it's more like staring at the screen, wallowing in my shame and disappointment).

I'm honestly rather surprised you didn't win at 20%, but this really does highlight just how big the difference is between low GM that you can beat with a 50% handicap, you at high GM and the best in the world that you need a 30% handicap to beat.

[@Nekoyashiki-san]

That was a crazy challenge and show how good Serral is. Should we consider Uthermal being at 70% of Serral power level? x) That was a great series, thanks for the fun. ^^

I am just a like 10 years ago gold/plat player with obviously not idea about the game. That being said I ve seen a lot of streams. Still it is so extreme that uthermal is beating grandmasters with ease and with serral he just hits a solid brick wall... I do not even understand how this is even possible. Seeing Uthermal destroy ppl while being "out of shape" makes him look invincible... and then this... incredible Cudos to both of you.

How to get tumors - get a bunch of marines and just kill the queens. A ghost rush is generally good when I've seen it used, since it's pretty easy to get ghosts out in the early game.
