Stasis Wards Are Actually Insane... (uThermal's First 2v2 Tournament)

[@uThermal2]

What do you guys think of the idea? :) Part 2 is tomorrow, thanks for watching all

[@emilaberg2226]

You can take your team player's gasses, give them control to your units, and they can mine gas from your extractor/assimilator/refineries. Something to play around with? Some sort of a tech-rush maybe? :)

Stasis Cup

[@catbert7]

I love the idea of running your own tournaments but I'd really love to see them for the Scion or WC3 mods. Those are SO much more interesting to watch, with classic SC2 being played out for a decade. The mods allow for so much novelty and experimentation and they will never grow without stuff like tournaments to get good players into it and featuring it. Would also love to see what crazy strats you would develop with these new races and matchups 💙

More 2Thermal Cup, please!

[@petrowi]

Marc's Stasis 2v2 Tournament - love it. We (the audience) could pitch it a couple times/year for a prize pool !

[@uThermal2]

Appreciate it mate, thank you very much ^^

[@PoefManPat]

I really like watching 2v2 with your team-mate in voice chat. Please do make it a permanent thing :D Also idea for future: all players in the match in the same voice chat and watch the chaos and salt ensue!

[@PeregrineChurch]

I like randomizing the tournament goal each time, like maybe one of them is who can defeat/speedrun lower ranked teams the fastest. Here's a bunch of ideas: - one player has to to air, one has to go ground - feeding only: one player can never attack - for mirror matchups, randomizing a mandatory unit comp each game, like penguin brothers only - Oh, Secret Objectives! Each player gets a secret objective to complete during a game. if they do it they get an extra $50 Secret objective ideas: - warp prison cannon - abduct a basic unit - finish a building inside an opponents base - mine from an opponents active base and return the minerals (can use transport unit) Lots of goofy stuff could happen here :D

[@Reliquarium]

Hell yes! Love seeing creators working to keep the game alive.

[@randomname6010]

I like that you upload when im around thanks for that! also enjoying the BAR videos

[@Neard-cI_I]

Yes please ! This concept is awesome, thank you uThermal.

[@maximk9964]

That last game needed some stasis traps

[@omnimoeish]

Yeah that's why you lost. It's right in the name of the tournament. ☺

[@wikihoolima8988]

This is so nice of you!! Love the idea 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@TheExtremejustice]

uThermal Team Invitational, or UTI!!!

[@IcariumGaming]

I just want to be certain.... You do know that an UTI is the short form for Urinary Tract Infection. Trying to scare viewers away?

[@MarctheDarc]

Cool mixing it up with some team matches! And Stasis Cup is a winning name 😉

[@DrMJJr]

Love that Thermy is keeping SC2 FRESH & SPICY with the 2v2s and “Special Tactics”!!! 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

[@attirance49]

What is feeding?

[@palebears8913]

Giving resources to your teammate.

[@maximk9964]

2v2? Sounds fun, let's go

[@cannogabang1999]

AoE 1 is huge in Vietnam because every uncle has a pirated version of it in their USB which they proceed to give to their relatives. Literally every computer has AoE1. To play with other people we'll go to internet cafes and play over LAN(yes they also use the pirated version)

[@AC3handle]

that just means they haven't agreed to Blizzard's terms of service.

[@leafykille]

Looking forward to part 2 :)

[@Ty-bz7zx]

Bangin'

[@rouensk]

You should unironically call the tournament "uThermal's Starcraft with Friends" to emphasize different dynamics from usual solitaire dog-eats-dog 1v1 events :)

[@grashoprsmith]

2v2 is a nice change up

[@Jackbrick101]

Love team games! So fun!

Name suggestion: A Concept of a Plan

[@omnimoeish]

I'm all over watching any serious team games.

[@erictripps125]

Would you consider doing a series where you play team games and have your ally leave at the start of the match? You can micro and macro both armies. I think harstem did a 2v2 series where his ally left and he did a 2v1 but I would really like to see some games with you abusing zerg economy to make mech and skytoss units.

[@ypa0316]

the bold star cup

[@ja3482]

I've long believed that Stasis wards were underutilized, even in 1v1.

[@ShailenSobhee]

What do you mean by "feed"? @1:12

[@ShailenSobhee]

Saw in another comment: Feed means resource sharing.

[@cthulhu8977]

Good stuff; moar please!

[@dkoy14]

Stasis to GM, would love to see it!

[@momom6197]

It's obvious why you lost in game three. Not enough stasis.

[@catbert7]

Needs more cowbell.

2V2 Shenanigan Cup

[@chrisavelino2201]

Very entertaining

[@SH-os1ck]

Can someone please answer me? I've given THANKS before. Did that money go to the youtuber?? I've never really even got a thank you haha. Was just curious. 😂

[@IcariumGaming]

It does go to the KZbinr, but I know how you feel about not receiving a thanks, but they shouldn't feel forced to respond.

[@uThermal2]

I think 70% goes to the creator :)

[@SH-os1ck]

@@uThermal2 that is hella lame! How do i send 100% to you!!

[@corbeau-_-]

_a TeMpEsT?!_

[@kinggarithos888]

Just confused why you went 2 wins right off the back and didn't try a 2 player planetary rush for the third match just for shits.

[@joshdoldersum9132]

Love it.

[@Gilvad0]

What if some of the resources you transferred to your partner when feeding were 'taxed' and lost during the transfer? No idea what the ratio should be, 50% loss or 10% loss you figure it out :P. This would make it strictly less efficient than spending the resources yourself, which from a game design standpoint gives similar drawbacks to cheeses in general. Feeding would itself become a cheese which is not economically efficient but gives early game punch. You could also change the ratio over time so it gets less punishing as the game goes on. Or you could limit how many resources can be shared per minute, so whoever is being 'fed' isn't able to get all the resources but only a portion of them. Or how about a mode where 50% of all resources generated by one teammate is automatically fed to another one, so it's even between the teams? One player gets supercharged and the other has to work with more limitations. Just for funsies you could do 1 (ex) pro player + 2 silver/gold/platinum vs 1 pro player + 2 silver/gold/platinum and have the lower level players automatically feed to the higher level players along some established ratio. Then you'd have to organize and protect your low level team to keep the resources flowing. I think there's a ton of cool stuff you could explore here, and I would suggest that there are lots of people in the community that would be happy to implement those types of maps for you, no need to learn the editor yourself. Maybe consider talking with Grant of GiantGrantGames if you haven't already, I'm sure he'd have helpful advice on how to approach it.

[@kostadinpantev]

AoE2 has what is called "slinging". You need to build a market to send resources to allies and a tax is applied. In Castle age and then in Imperial you can research technologies which lower the tax. It was a very popular strategy in team tournaments a few years ago.

[@username-hw8bu]

100% feed. = 2v2 or 4v4 where half the players instantly quit. Turning it into a 1v1 or 2v2 with double base start.

[@dba8211]

Hi Guys I had a bunch of THC followed by 5 whiskeys... not a good move

[@craigcombes]

I need to find someone that can play 2v2 the drop in games are so bad it seems like people that play 2v2 don't ever play 1v1 so don't really have a clue about the game it's stressful

[@chrisgriffith1573]

Just had an idea for a challenge series... "stasis field to grand master" a Protoss challenge, mass Oracle's and cover the map with stasis fields, and win using Stalker/Zealot. Focus stasis on base mining, base entrances and the key is to flood the map at mid-game, to surprise opponent while you take out all buildings and SCV/probes/drones.

[@Alistrasro]

Grown man plays video games and waste his time...well done, you entertain us... :)

[@valentinbaiardi1582]

just kiss already (please)

[@MrBap80]

Love the idea.
