The End of Proxy Nexus to Grandmaster

[@Quodergo]

Marc: "i played this man once ten years ago and i know every move he will ever make" Also Marc: "when the fuck did i pick this color?"

[@Ineedanaccountnow0]

Hahaha so damn true. Thermy's memory is so bizarre sometimes

[@JeffreyOller]

I lol'd. Have a 👍

[@LyuboRyuk]

XD

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

Priorities

[@JinzoTK]

"I don't even want to cheese him, I just want to build a Nexus next to his base."

[@wolvie90]

I love your optimism, even when the first game is done and dusted you legit light up with "oh maybe I can kill some probes here".

[@rouensk]

Fun fact: the sound Marc makes at 8:52 is dutch for "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"

[@TheVeregat]

11:09 wtf that guy spider senses that game were hilariously on point.

[@FunkingTron]

Have you considered Mothership rush to grandmaster? Could lead to some interesting games and strategies.

[@brandonroberts13]

Bump

[@josefanon8504]

yes please

[@NoTengoIdeaGuey]

Agree, you never see anyone use those, not these days and barely in the past too

[@yamilrosa6839]

Agreed

[@requiem-ph5xx]

Proxy mothership to GM

[@whiskeytangotv1758]

Marc, may not have been the best finale but you still totally succeeded cause you made GM! Well done brother!

[@mmpirates658]

One of the most entertaining episodes ever. I really can never choose whether I love watching you win or lose more. Both are so fun to watch!

[@louistrinh3608]

This episode was so disastrous that it's kinda entertaining to watch

[@dragoda]

You are the gift that keeps on giving. Great videos.

[@benihanah]

Hell yea Marc! No worries on the way the ending turned out, it was a great journey. On to greater challenges!

[@jeffs.3348]

Great series! Loved it. Love this channel.

[@JeffSlover]

That was a rough finale sir. As they say, sometimes you are the bug, sometimes you are the windshield!

[@MrNarvanno]

Hey Mark, how about old strategies from wings of liberty to grand master?

[@pabaldet]

Best Starcraft youtube channel everr, thank you uThermal !!!

[@SmithnWesson]

I have an idea for a challenge. It's called the Nydus Worm Rush. You build a good size army and a good size economy and you research all necessary technologies. You wait for the enemy to attack. Then immediately Nydus worm into his base or as close to his base as you can get. Bring as many lurkers and queens and whatever else that you want. Now the goal is to do maximum damage in about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Destroys many of his buildings as you can. Then you immediately go back to your own base through the worm, and defend against his attack. (Unless of course he turns around mid-way in which in case you can fight him right at his base.) If you inflicted enough damage in the first attack, then you rebuild your army and go across the map and finish him off. (He should not be able to rebuild his army as fast because he had too much damage.)

[@alexthurston9940]

Great series. Looking forward to more challenges!

[@shansra11]

it's all good. the point of the challenges is not just to win but experiment how far can you take weird builds. If it's not a great build, then it's not a great build.

[@Szokynyovics]

Yeah, he is entertained and entertaining, we are entertained, we all have fun, winning is absolutely secondary.

[@sebytro]

So happy you released this video right in time for dinner.

[@CecilRegardes]

Even when you lose you are a delight to watch. Keep it up! Really appreciate your informative and extremely fun content!

[@sebastiankruse1009]

I loved this episode of Proxy Disaster to Grandmaster, it was a lot of fun! :D All the best marc, I look forward to your next series!

[@seanet1310]

Time to attack to GM is my challenge idea Two options Either 1) you can only offensively attack other than a scout harrass if armour and weapon upgrades match. Or 2) an offensive, non scout harass can only occur within 30 seconds of an upgrade finish. Reinforcements are allowed. Either way, no unit restrictions.

[@Keasbeysknight]

BEST WORST GRANDFINALE EVER! BRAVO! cant wait for the next ones!! GGWP

[@Ty-bz7zx]

uT = Legend. OB = Original Banger !

[@Boold198891]

xD Seeing You was so unlucky was so fun :D Hope You was not disappointed in this episode!

[@jetsyrup]

ggs, enjoyed the series

[@stooleet5369]

Hey. Thx for your content. I was hoping a challenge with canon rush. Because this is really entertaining to see. But at the same Time very hard to do it very smoothly Peace

[@xendelaar]

Such a great series. Really enjoyed it.

[@yjhuoh]

how about a series called 'the boys' (working title) where you HAVE to do an SCV pull (defined as over half or 2/3 of workers used in an attack) within some number of minutes

[@xoplazma]

I think you should go for a part 2, but I get that you feel like you're done with this challenge. It would be cool to see a late Proxy Nexus where you hide 12-18 blink Stalkers before dropping the Nexus to fast Recall in. Or a middle of the map Proxy Nexus with 3 batteries to rotate full protection (I don't know if that would actually work, I iz scrub lol). I'll keep an eye out on the second channel ;)

[@jukesduck9363]

Marc, you are a gem, thank you for all you do!

[@waw4428]

BANELING ONLY TO GM!!! Please :D

[@gsuberland]

Or a variant on it, like Queen-Bane.

[@Szokynyovics]

Yeah, something with banes, even if it is not only... :)

[@Hephera]

baneling queen to gm and for the first episode or two youre only allowed to explode banelines if theyre burrowed. no attacking, only setting traps.

[@IcariumGaming]

I would love to see a baneling series, however Zerg units are all created as throwaway units except for the casters, each one with massive weaknesses. Every baneling episode would need to end as if he was playing a speed running match. I enjoy the shows where he uses a weird composition but is able to macro with it.

[@NoTengoIdeaGuey]

Lol that's a good one.

[@maximk9964]

There is something very hilarious about hiding a Nexus in the other person's base. Losses only highlight the achievements of the past, it wouldn't be *challenge* otherwise. Looking forward to all the new strats

[@Thrlawl112]

would have liked to see his reaction from his pov at the time he first saw your nexus, when you were reviewing the game at like 5:50

[@WhyWhatWhoWhenWhyAgain]

I almost feel like by the end of this series your account name was turned into a thread, banner and advertisement on reddit to make sure every SC2 player on earth knew what you were about. Awesome series, glad to see it was over with all the instant counters and ultra bad luck in the end. Great playing anyways Marc, proxy nexus is easily one of my favorite challenges you've done. ❤

[@andreash2254]

I would love to see "12-pylon-proxy-1-0-carrier-rush to GM" somewhen in future xD

[@kainalias2913]

i might have an idea for a new x to gm series(maybe 1-1-1 to gm as name suggestion): u are allowed any build as long as you build only one type of unit from each production facility. for instance reapers from the barracks, tanks from the factory, viking from starport. or marine, cyclone, medivac. i think this would allow for a good variety of builds and strategies within one challenge. you would have to weigh your options what to build for cheese strats or macro games. what would be the plan if a cheese doesnt kill your opponent and you are only allowed to build reapers from the barracks? do you build tanks for good amounts of damage or do you build cyclones to be mobile? if you go tank, what do you build as anti air? viking, liberator or do you go bc immediately because its more versatile? maybe this idea has to be flushed out a bit better, maybe 2 kinds of units from the starport as the medivac is so important in any terran build; in macro games to make and keep the marine useful but also as a way to get into the main while distracting at the front when cheesing. or you are allowed one set of units for the first 10 minutes of a game and a second set from then on. i`m not sure if this will make the challenge too easy, as the composition may end up looking very normal, or at least too normal to be challenging. what do you guys think??

[@StevenHanover]

"Dont be silly geese." uThermal

[@d00nat]

In the second game, the enemy probably used a map hack

[@prostokrasavchik8837]

Next challenge is: probes and pylons only to grandmaster

[@Thebadman8817]

Pf rush and mass marines are my 2 favorites so far but I enjoy them all!

[@Mnoukadlo]

I am sorry the finale did not deliver, but it was entertaining anyway :)

[@Kingcob7]

Simpsons Comic Book Guy: Worst. ending. ever. Nah was a fun series. Look forward to the next ones :D

[@jessewheeler5237]

Of course we're excited for the next challenge!

[@njdarda]

the grand finale magic was there but on the side of thermy's opponents :D

[@wholelottalight]

Honestly I am ok with this one going. Not my favorite series although I watched all of it. Planetary rush was a lot more fun. I also liked when this included dark templar because you so rarely see them. Adepts just aren't my thing.

[@HeavyLiftGaming]

It was a good series

[@DrBonely]

Sad to see it go, but it was a great run!

[@Supergoon1989]

Could you do a zerg series - mass Ravager? Is that viable at top level?

[@Julian-or8kf]

I have an Idea for a new series that's kind of stupid basically, you have to play Terran, and only use units as if they weren't futuristic. Tanks allowed, but no sieging Vikings allowed, but no transforming into landed Marines allowed, but no stim or combat shield Bonus if you play differently too, like spreading widow mines across the whole map to make a minefield, or setting up multiple bunkers

[@yuvl32]

13:00 did you notice the observer on the left?

[@shufflecat3334]

Proxy Nexus, do not cry that it is over, rejoice that it happened.

[@testeagles6347]

How do the immortal shelds work?

[@IamCrusaderRUS]

Proxy nexus will stay as an option on second channel, right? ... ...right?

[@uThermal]

Yep the wheel has all the challenges ^^

[@spider0804]

Mothership to gm. Colossus Phoenix to gm.

[@Paralda]

I still think these should all lead to a random challenge with proxy base (hatch, nexus, or planetary) depending on what you roll

[@lostone9700]

That last game was suspicious.

[@TheDaaabou]

A zerg strategy based upon burrowing your units - to GM?

[@JustWatoo]

"Mech Drop to Grand Master".... Gumiho style?

[@gyung58]

Play random, If Terran, bunker rush Toss, cannon rush Zerg, spine crawler!

[@kildren961]

Maybe for macro challenge you can try getting to gm without using command center upgrades so no planetaries or orbitals and no sensor tower allowed

[@JoeMendez579]

Bc and ghost only challenge ?

[@JeffreyOller]

A bit sad. This was my favorite series. ❤

[@daniel-mika]

proxy nexus was one of my favorites. Just because it is bizarre and extremely effective

[@cosmosorbust]

Thanks for all the entertainment.

[@evolvedmentality229]

that's tough

[@woohab]

I love your videos - best thing on youtube

[@InfectedFetus00]

Viking rush/vikings only or maybe with some other support unit(?)

[@jero3295]

not really a challenge, but i think it would be funny if you did a challenge with the StarCrafts Mod on to make everything look cartoony and silly XD

[@adamtennant4936]

Now I understand the thumbnail. 😕 Always fun, even with this ending. 👍

[@mazman9355]

History-making Grand Finale!!! Not the history you wanted, tho...🤔

[@anthonygreco8220]

Challenge Idea: No Attack No Scout 5min Love these vids I hope you use this idea!

[@Agora2021]

That was the saddest grand finale ever.

[@Vaxsysl]

You might be telling to the guy to frame video of the match Thermy, but I say, he can simply frame one of the faces you make at 8:51 :) GG WP, see you again! We can't win every day.

[@onyxia8786]

13:00 pfft, ya that was a FKn map hacker!!!!!!!

[@jann326]

Wait why does it say just Master on your ranking and not the grandmaster?

[@uThermal]

You need a certain amount of games played recently, not just MMR. Usually with the multiple challenges I do at the same time I don't reach that treshhold :/

[@TheTodesrolle]

muta swarmhost only?

[@dronmk2]

Short Grand Final((

[@vitaligofman1801]

hello again! there should be a rule where if you lose 3 times in a row, the series gets cancelled hehe

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

Doom drop to GM! You can only attack with units that drop from a transport

[@ctwest3601]

Ya hate to see it, but good run Marc.

[@Idiomatick]

Nydus next?

[@lukewilton9525]

What about an upgrade challenge. Try and get 1-1 or 2-2 quickly as possible and dominate

[@KumarBendrake]

Come on, it was just a bad day. You owe your loyal viewers a winning grand finally next time you are in the zone. Just do it in a few weeks when you're not feeling so burnt out on this build. Please! 🙏

[@Evan-qr7sy]

Next challenge: Monobattle. Build only 1 unit per game for every race! Let's see if you can get a win with each unit ;) Also love the content!

[@hungr.]

I would love Ninja Base to Gm

[@masterscheme1]

Nah... You gotta end it off better than that bro... At least with 1 w in the last episode...

[@craig4811]

Let's go!

[@nathanaelgazzard7989]

It happens😅

[@majormarketing6552]

There are so many cheaters in games i wouldnt find it surprising

[@ZeliardFTW]

The only cheaters are only in your mind. No cheaters were playing today. Only in your mind. Cheese yes, cheaters no.

[@ZeliardFTW]

Observers might also feel like cheating, but no.

[@calebsharp683]

we here

[@sloanNYC]

Love a good sport in defeat!

[@beethoven4477]

I would love to give you a hard time but I die to the AI.

[@DirtyBeatzMusic]

what was the point of that last nexus? it looks like you just built it to call it a nexus rush

[@LyuboRyuk]

To battery overcharge... But it didn't happen

[@eigentensor]

A very sad end to a great series :/

[@jackmorgan396]

Sad reacts only boys 😢

[@DafuqLuLZ]

Oh nooooo :(

[@Blandge]

Ok, next do Carriers only to GM -- NO INTERCEPTORS

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

no for nothing suprice is a name that makes anyone feel sus right away. and scout everything, just saying

[@Kirk.television]

Let's go
