Since I always forget, this was roughly Attempt #30! I wasn't able to get a good run in my first batch of attempts so I took a long break from it but after I figured out the best strategy it took me 6 more attempts to get this run :)

I agree, it might be map hack

According to his channel there are five "insane" challenges left to do. 1 Zerg v 7 Zerg, 1 Zerg v 7 Terran, then the three Protoss challenges. All of these should be extremely entertaining for us but might give uThermal an aneurysm just thinking about them. Still, he has been getting better and better at these challenges since his Terran v Protoss challenge only took him 19 attempts IIRC.

Don't forget Zerg and Toss vs mixed/random.

Those disruptors were killing so much of the protoss army trying to kill the broodlings. The friendly fire was real.

Marc truly has cemented himself as one of the greatest SC2 players of all time. The game has been out for almost 13 years with everyone, and i mean everyone, thinking these challenges were impossible...until Mr uThermal came along. LEGENDARY.

I am pretty sure somebody said something before me , but you should make a playlist of these give it to who ever runs blizzard now and demand your achievements be put in the game , be sure that it will help with interest in SC2 for the casual player and everyone also to have something new to do in the game , most likely one guy in blizzard can do this in about 10 minutes to 1 hour easy :) UPVOTE this please , we need uThermal to extend that lance :)

I'm glad you were able to have fun with the challenge as Zerg. I'll try to record some commentary for my runs and post them too. Still have not been able to get Zerg vs 7 Terran Insane AI completed, I do think that one might be impossible.

What a wild solution to this challenge, major congrats on the WR!

Haven't seen SC in ages but this was an amazing and fun video to watch. Nicely done!

how did the AI let you go to 8 min 40 sec (9:35 video time) without a single attack?

Wait why did it take 8:40 for any Protoss to attack? Don't they usually rush with zealots early on?

@darkestaxe3415

Жыл бұрын

That's what I was wondering to. He set them all to any build so maybe something about the map prevents AIs from using early zealot aggression.

I'm loving this content; thanks for rekindling my interest in SC2. I'm still working through your channel, so maybe you've done a 1v7 human challenge. But if you haven't, I'd love to see you play 1v7 novice/low ranked players. I think that would be really fun. Thanks for making entertaining content with a positive attitude. GL HF GG

Well done! If I don't remember incorrectly, I think Vibe did this on his Twitch stream, but not Zerg against random, only Zerg against Protoss, like uThermal did. Vibe did it on the Rooftop Terrace map, I think, so that might be a map to check out

I was waiting for you to do the other races!

I played this game as a child and i have never been good at it (including SC2) - i am only stepping forward to mention that i take my hats off to uThermal for this INCREDIBLE PLAY. Excellent.

Have you done a speedrun through Starcraft and Broodwar's campaign? If not, would you consider doing one with live commentary? I'd be fascinated to watch that series.

these types of challenges have historically been 'my thing.' i did a lot of ladder for the first 2 or 3 years of sc2 then switched almost entirely to playing against ai since then. main reason being that i was too busy with work/family that i couldn't play as well as i wanted to against other people. i found the perfect alternative was to challenge myself any way i could against ai matchups and it allowed me to play the game stress free with the ability to pause the game most of the time if needed. i didn't realize that certain things were deemed 'impossible' by people in this subgenre of the game. i know in the last 10 years i've beat a LOT of matchups similar to the one in this video. this is almost exactly how i play my zerg vs ai. the only thing i would do differently is utilize viper abducts much more. maybe even cut 3 or so broods to build more vipers. i always feel like 50% of my apm is devoted to abducting voids/disruptors/colossai/sentries lmao. always struggled more against terran ai when playing zerg so gonna have see if you've uploaded that one yet! keep up the great vids marc :)

I’d love to see 1v7 insane random race

Can't believe I guessed the unit that gave you trouble, makes me feel like I still have a solid grasp of SC2 units even after quitting so long ago

Great work bro!

This would so work if the enemy had but 1 human player, he would just move arround with air or destory everything in a row rather than weird AI walking arround.

It's been a while since I've played sc2, but is there a way to get the replay file? I really just wanna be able to see everything

Incredible! Now me and a friend are going to try and do a 2 vs 6 Hard ai on the same map. One question, though, why didn't any of them attack you until 8:40 (game time)? They were all on "Any Build", so was it just luck that none of them rushed/harassed you, or was was something about your build discouraging them from attacking earlier? I mean, you had virtually nothing to defend until about 6 minutes in, so why weren't the cheaters with their map hacking skillz swarming you with early game units? Could it be because you tech up to Hive very quickly so they read you as a high tech opponent?

Hope you're enjoying your morning comment reading session! Thanks for the video!

You've done it again. Insane!

I think after all these Insane AI challenges, Blizzard should have a difficulty for the AI named uThermal.

I think the benefit to leaving the smallest amount of minerals in the last patch to force the enemies to pull their workers isn't 'there are less units' so much as at the cost of 5 minerals you are buying the knowledge to know that the ai is mined out

The disruptor shots came from behind the grassy knoll

Congratulations Marc!

Congratulations!

“What would happen if we challenged you 7v1?” “It would be extremely painful.” “You’re a big guy!” “For you….”

This is excellent. One suggestion. The AI will avoid the location of a ravager bile attack. Like they’re going to not want to go in a liberator siege zone.

The wall off reminds me of the BroodWars, there you could chocke the base entry with supply depos and withstand 7 pc players easy.

40% more. Notice how their mineral patches took longer to degrade, Thermy expanded before them so that's why. If it were 40% faster they'd have expired long before his

Uthermal said hold my beer 🍺 well done 👍

Can't wait for 1 vs 7 Insane Terran.

Will it be easier or harder (or even possible) against 7 zerg or 7 terrans or mixed Z/P/T enemys?

What an absolute mad lad

Epic achievement! So how many attempts did it take? I'm imagining it's got to be more than 20 or 30, even for a legend like Marc...

Would be sick to see versus all random

Best sc2 content online!!

23:36 I like how you don't consume the extractor

You're the king!

Damn imagine the AI sending voids around to the back of the base 😄

You are insane for sure!

Would swarm hosts be any good ?

the force fields make this more doable as they slow down the enemy even further without these dumb forcefields the ais would crash onto you all at once and your dps and transfuses wouldn't be enough to hold them back

One hatchery against the landing forces of the Golden Armada? Finally an even fight.

Thank you for your amazing content 🎉 congrats! (And if you need to regularly take time off for your mental health, please do! We completely understand)

I imagined locust waves to split up the armies, perhaps to harass neighbors later in the game. Maybe just too slow between attacks to make a difference. Brood lords are just a much more constant attack.

You know, for this particular map and if what your saying is true about how the AI helps their neighbours, then perhaps make roughly 4x swarm hosts and park 2 on each side of your base attacking your neighbours base, then a million AI units might not turn up to your front door, as some the units would be braking off to go help their neighbours army/base instead of yours. Just a thought. Congrats!!
