I always like listing my top 3 but this video has SO MANY BANGERS... If I had to I would choose the Corruptor only game, Ultralisk only game and Queens only game. What are your favorites? :)
Mass corruptor, without doubt! So much fun, especially when it works! I'd watch an hour-long video of trying corruptor-only against grandmasters.
Or maybe, for a proper series, skyzerg to grandmaster?
Moooooaarr videos!
BANGER of a video Thermy! TY!
I'm always a sucker for Ricky and the boys (swarm hosts), but corruptors only was a ton of fun to watch.
Time to break out the popcorn, he's dropped a whole damn film
and I already know its better than the whole MCU! (not hard, but still!)
It's better than the MCU. I can hardly finish a MCU movie. But this StarCraft movie is insane
Just skip to the end of each section
*Gets caught with hand in bag* "How'd you know?"
Better that fucking Marvel or Disney.
The muta game opponent asking how tf to deal with that was really cool imo, love some good sportsmanship
That is how the metas spread. People coppying each others builds if not out right having it explained to them.
If it was like silver or gold league, and me doing the mass muta, getting that question, I would probably answer "more widow mines, and put them in random places". I stopped playing halfway into the HotS era, so I don't really know the newer units and the chances very well.
The fact that uThermal couldn't pull off a brood lord game but could win a corrupter only game is hilarious to me
Brood lords are slow af and have no answers to air is the problem. I'm more surprised he wasn't able to get infestors to work
I cant even think how u do damage with infestor. Is it only neural?
Infestors have no way to damage buildings, so any amount of static defense to protect workers would guarantee a win. Worst possible is a tie if you lose all workers. But a grand master can avoid this. Old infestors with infested terrans could win.
@@TheGuyCalledX He basically already did that in his infestor/ling challenge, but I think he lost those too.
@@TheGuyCalledX Queens and Spores. He should have done it.
Man, this video has so many great games! It's as long as a movie and 10x more entertaining 😂
Thanks a lot my man
Agreed. I love these feature length videos
you're a legend, I thought the same thing. Instead of uploading some games from stream, these are the best games out of many attempts over months with tight restrictions. Cheers Maxim
@dobtoronto Yeah, I can only imagine the effort to play hundred of these matches and compile the best ones! So I wanted to give a little back for doing so much to entertain us and keep the love of the game alive
@uThermal thank you, for giving us these awesome videos that take months of games to compile! Man, even as a Terran I love those banelings rolling out of nydas tunnels 😆 and all the other games too
The corrupter game is a masterclass in SC2
He outplayed him so much it just didn't matter what he'd use he was just all over the place. Love how he started building spines beforehand and then unleashed them at the right moment
Man, I remember when Marc was just Terran. Now he is cheesing Grandmasters with EVERY SINGLE UNIT TYPE FROM EVERY SINGLE RACE... and I am here for it! ❤❤❤
As Zerg, remember you can go above 200 supply: in team games, as zerg, whenever I can save some APM I morph every drone into spines, mass produce units, and cancel those spines to go back mining...I have won so many games with 40+ mutalisk :V
That means building 80 spines and the canceling cost would be 2000… you’d need 4000 more minerals to build those mutas. Total cost would be 6000 minerals and 4000 gas. That’s a lot.
You should never be floating that many resources lol.
@@chaotikkiller1617 TBF this does happen in a lot of ultra late games at every level (including pro players like Serral). Zerg especially, builds up banks in late games because they can use that and saved up larva to quickly remax.
@@chaotikkiller1617 have you ever played the zerg? :D
@@Abdullahkamal-yc2yt I can rapid fire them
PIgfarmer has nightmares from being in these challenge videoes
Haha thats what I was thinking
"He decides to type LOL, like any zerg gentleman would do..." I had cramps laughing to this 😂
50:25 Love how you gave his advice when he asked you, a lot of people can't be bothered to trash talk. That was very respectful and nice of you.
1:38:23 "I've spent all of my allowance on queens" Hope your gf doesn't see this vid, marc.
Something tells me, he doesn't experience such things.
this man won a 20 minute grandmaster game with just corruptors lmao
i literally cried in the corruptor game omg that was so beautiful i don't think i ever saw a game this beautiful it was like abstract art it made no sense in the start and it gave the feeling of being hopeless but when it started to work i could finally see the true meaning of that game, it was hope, the light that guides you foward in the most impossible of scenarios, never let this light uthermal this changed my life and it could change many more 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mass zergling burrow = trypophobia
lol
Funily enough, that doesnt loon nearly as disgusting as things you will find IRL.
A feature length film worth of insane challenges? LET'S GO!
That was cool that the guy in the muta game asked for tips instead of raging
Oh damn, Been waiting for this to complete the trilogy
This was a work of art. Hilarious, psychotic art. There has to be an "X to GM" challenge hidden here, like "creep block the opponents expansions to GM" or something silly like that.
Incredible series ❤
So cool! Zerg is such a fun race and this is a great showcase of their power!
Omg just was chain watching Penguin Brothers series, and here you are, putting out an epic hour + birthday Christmas present of a video!
I think this is genuinely a good exercise, you get to see the limits of what each unit is capable of and bring that knowledge back to your regular games. Some people give up on units and try to tech switch when their roaches or whatever could get the job done
I know nothing about starcraft, but I love listening to these videos while i work from home. The energy and positivity behind the video really makes working that little more enjoyable.
Marc, I cannot say how much I enjoy your content. I love that you add information that I just never noticed/knew (how many workers do I have... I hover over the supply!)... Been playing since release... still didn't know. One of the things I'd love to see is a pro capitalize on the reaper grenade ignoring armor... I used to use it ALLLLLLL the time... three grenades kill larva... so if you time it just right, go in right when they pop from queen inject, you can wipe out the larva with reapers. I wonder if you could make a sick compilation of reaper wrecking the "future" zerg. I'd love to see it. Your content is FANTASTIC.
Sweeeet, for some reason I was thinking about the single unit GM series lately, what serendipity that you've been hard at work on this!
Video series like this do well to showcase the specific strengths and weaknesses of units vs your opponents compsition. I found it very educational. Cheers.
If the Infestor still had the Infested Terran, then yes, Infestor only would be possible to do.
I miss the days of using dumb strategy like Infestor/Raven/ Swarm host. Like I neural the SCV to build terran buildings to make ravens and spam auto turret, Infested terrans and locus. It fails most of the time but when it works it mines alot of salt.
EPIC! Been waiting for the Zerg version and it did not disappoint.
JUST sat down for dinner and open my KZhead to a 1:45 uThermal video…my Friday night is complete 🥰🥰
I’ve been playing this game since I was 10 years old and had to load SC 1 on my parents dial up 256k dell… and Uthermals videos are the best SC content in existence
Good to have ya back!
Love all your videos, this one is above and beyond. Great work, great content. Keep up the good work uThermal!
incredible stuff! best video i've seen all year
Wow, love the format of gameplay + commentary. Straight bangers
Love the edited together mega banger series!
The baneling strat is just art.... my 2 fav units being used in just a creative way. I love it
big thumbs up from one legend to another :D don't think about the impossible u types the rest was fun and impressive enough.
This format for me on sc2 was the most enjoyable ever for me untill now cutting the first 3 minutes made it so much more enjoyable for me to watch and well you are awesome with your crazy challenge builds :'D
That corruptor game was absolute genius. Loved the diversion strats and hit and run tactics of the swarm host game too
Such non stop action! Didn’t feel like an almost 2 hour video. So awesome!!!
Just got done watching the 3 single unit of a race videos. Phenomenal job uThermal. It's absolutely ridiculous that you pulled this off. What a mad lad.
Thanks for the fun series! ^^
Ur alive, that's good to hear
Seriously man, AMAZING VIDEO. Congrats!
Hats off to you! Wouldn't have thought the Corrupter game was possible 😁😁
WOW! Thank you thermy for your dedication! Amazing
Loved this! I was pleasantly surprised at how well corruptors and queens played! Spine crawler offensive and caustic spray was actually so oppressive
Excellent video! Very interesting and entertaining!
Good stuff as always
I absolutely love watching your game play and you have a great personality/attitude 👍
i was waiting for this!
the mytalisk-terran was so nice, asking what he could have done differently, thats they way to go!
You are awesome, dude! It's amazing how you don't stop talking!!
Marc’s games are so much fun to watch. Best combination of clever tactics, crisp execution, and imagination.
the amount of effort you put into these videos is incredible
that mass queen game, and that mass corruptor game were just pure art. Incredible lol
"I always feel a magic boost when I play weird stuff" - story of my life :D very nice, kutgw!
This might be one of the most impressive challenges I've seen you do yet
luv you man, keep it up!
Wow haven't watched youtube for a while but this might bring me back. Looking forward to seeing all the games
I have watched this video twice already. Simply incredible. I'd love to hear commentary on which of these took the longest to do, or was the hardest to make happen. In the hands of Marc, these strategies practically look viable.
Fantastic video!
This is so silly 😂 but so much fun at the same time. Well done uThermal!!
Thank you thermal this is the video we needed
Ahhh! I didn't even realize I came at the best time. All three races are complete! Always a great time to join a channel. :D Love that excitement and positivity uThermal brings to all of this!
very nice. i like your style!
Always fun to watch
He's back!!
I haven’t played sc2 or seen games in over 10 years but I watched the whole thing. Incredible
Amazing to watch
Been waiting for this for a long time
I love that baneling/nydus play, haven't seen that before
Oh my, 1.44 hour long banger of a video. There are movies shorter than this. Fantastic job, as always!
This was incredible.
It is a great movie and very fun to watch! Inspires to try new things :)
Insane skills ggs
Excellent video uThermal! Fingers crossed for a drone only series to GM 😂
okay this is gonna be a fun watch
Amazing challenge!
Incredible video! The drone only was not what I was expecting, but still cool. Maybe a cool single video challenge would be only drones spines and 6 queens and you can't attack until you mine out the map 😂
I had always wondered how strong the queens would be under ideal fighting conditions, damn man, these games were epic. Sad to not see the Vyper and the Infestor, but it's still an epic series, thanks for bringing it. 💪
Your my entertainment now days. I ❤watching your shows.
Amazing stuff
This is awesome
Dude, actually, that muta game end was wholesome. Bro asked for tips and got a lil friendly response ^^
Commenting for the algorithm keep up the hard work mark
Uthermy on crack for a whole hour...damn, this series is fire.
It's really nice to have a good demonstration to show my friends who never really laddered just how unbelievably powerful queens are straight up. Such a damn banger. 😂😂😂
New Heart of the Swarm campaign upgrade: Nydus worms just keep throwing up banelings every second.
at 1:30:50 that lurker got yeeted out of existance by that ultra
You are a treasure to the starcraft community uthermal
that corrupter game was fantastic. he had to be sooooo frustrated 😂😂
Absolute mad man
This is art
nice games, nice vid. thx
The corruptors game must have been soul crushing for the opponent lol
bruh u r so good love your videos
Can't wait for the overseer only one. Winter did something like that a while ago: created a zillion overseer, and and then made all of them create a changeling at the same time, the game struggled a lot. I do not recall if the opponent left or game crashed before that. :)
Love it!
