my exact same thought! XD

ah yes, the "ling drop into the roach, muta, spinecrawler, 5 muta, nydus attack". Standard gameplay.

I know a lot of channels never post when they lose but I think its cool to do it because it kinda adds to the tension of how close some of the games are, you never know if you're watching a win or a loss. Good stuff

As a zerg player thanks for these series. Your energy is awesome and its nice seeing these!!

I honestly love that your content is so popular with people who don't even play or who are beginners that you have to explain extractor trick. Never would I have guessed that the audience would be so wide, but it really is wonderful.

Honestly I'm gonna have to see what he's talking about with the game in front of me(I'm not home watching this) because when you cancel a build you lose the drone entirely so I'm just confused about how he's going net positive with drones in this exchange 🤔 😅

@@zul4455 When a zerg cancels a building they get the drone back. So, the extractor trick (you can do it with any building but you want to lose as few resources as possible) is where you have say 16 supply. Then you build 1 or 2 extractors. This will reduce your supply to either 15 or 14. Then you can build 1-2 drones. Taking you back to 16 supply. Then you cancel the extractors and can now have up to 18 supply. This is the same way that you can get over 200 supply as zerg.

I enjoy watching your videos on the daily and if you're ever feeling down just know that there are a bunch of us out here who care a lot about how much of a legend you are. Thank you for the entertainment and thank you for the positivity.

I love that game one was just "confusion cheese" confuse your opponent with a little of everything.

I haven't played SC2 ladder since the first season of Wings of Liberty, but I'm totally addicted to the channel (along with your second channel). I feel like I'm smiling after every game. Thanks so much for all the content Marc, keep it up buddy!

I have been playing starcraft 2 since it came out, mostly custom games since I was a kid and that interested me the most. I love taking your strats to ladder when casually playing with my friends in 3v3 it's been fun thank you uThermal

That first game was sweet, didn't seem cheesy, more like just fast swapping strategies to whatever the opponent was weak to.

I feel in the last game, the nidus should have been used to transfer a drone (with the 1st nidus) and expend to a corner base rather fast. A bit more eco would have allowed for more spores and stuff

Thank you for your content. Really enjoy it

YES! thanks for doing the Swarm Host Rush!!

Great video. I never stop working but somehow I find the time to watch your daily videos

Your channel is really entertaining. Sadly I stopped playing ladder myself after my second child was born, but for now your channel is scratching my SC2 ladder itch.

Yes that last protoss is so common as a zerg... Cannon rush into voidrays, into DT, into carrier... its soooo common lol

The drone-extractor trick at the beginning definitely takes me way back to the golden days of Brood War. Cool to see that is still a thing in SC2.

Game 2 is what I love about Marc's gameplay. Game 3 is why I respect the man's humility, tenacity, and sportsmanship. GGWP!

I have a variation of this build that works wonders on maps requiring 3 buildings to wall off: it's 15 hatch and 15 pool (both are faster), but the gas is delayed (17) and I pop 8 zerglings when the pool finishes.

As a pleb the only thing I could offer is you can definitely walk the SW closer to the enemy's base before launching to get maximum damage done. Dang that was actually super close he was out of money and if you have a little more anti air he runs out of interceptors :D Love your positive energy during every minute of the games.

7:28 Yeah, it’s the classic “everything and the kitchen sink” cheese, basic stuff Thermy.

In all my years, I have never seen a spore crawler scout a terran wall.

Those first two games *chef's kiss* 30:00: Watching a Shield Battery try to save a building from Locusts is brutally hilarious xD 33:10: That said, leaving the Battery alive for the whole game is not a great plan ;p Ooof; that pylon barely surviving hurts. 35:35: Brooo, losing all those Hosts for nothing is SO bad =O Going for the Nexus earlier would have done the trick. Or making more anti-air. Or expanding... ever. But very entertaining, nonetheless!

Thremy's analysis of the first game: I did something :D

Sporecrawler scout is legit, such big vision haha

Everything fell apart when the spore burrowed in front of the cannon

That second game was awesome! Well done sir.

That last game was cool! I thought you were going to pull the Vibe cannon rush defense of rushing lair and making a dropper lord to evacuate the drones from the main while rushing into mutas 😅

For your next swarm host cheese against Terran you should see if you can make them rage quit with just supply blocks LOL

Swarms are the worst unit ever, but locusts do have some ridiculous dps, and have decent range. Mines and turrets counter them, although they will draw tank fire when they land. I always wanted to try to work a handfull of them in, scouting and harassing, but the high supply snd long cooldown is prohibitive, infestors are better ground and aa support imo. Continuously spawning swarms were nice, though completely nerfed by carpet mines, which simply rolled in and evaporated your army and all your workers, should you be so foolish as not to make infestors. Lurkers are better st zoning, and do adequate damage to static for example, roach hydra on top adds dps and blocking, confusing target fire, broodlings trigger mines and draw ff, which doesn't show up in your score I don't think, but acts as a force multplyer if the Terran fails to unsiege. Anyway, salute to thermy, aka "swarmy", forcing everyone to recognize they been playing the Zerg all wrong, and his commitment to playing the cheesiest Zerg imaginable, though I think a hydra\infestor switch might have saved the game, the sneaky Protoss air turtle!

That swarm host play was the most creative I have ever seen.

dude i love your Zerg and Protoss Cheeses, it feels like you really have to make smart choices to make it work, as opposed to just outclassing your opponent.

At 13:00, that last larva, if you had made a drone out of it instead of lings, you could have started another hatch right there. The opponent might have just rage quit in sheer frustration at that point.

Man I love cheese but for next challenge I'd love some more macro oriented builds like zerg spellcasters to GM or smtn like that. Anyway, nice video and saludos desde México :)

It has been frowned upon, slows your build a little, but it speeds up your tech: you can grab your nat before p can block, or get faster pool and queens, Zerg is usually behind on workers till around 40 or so anyway, but earlier Queens are better defensively and economically. That Queen\Swarm was epic!

Some more 1v2 1v3 2v3 content would be fun!

love your videos

I would like to know what that spore crawler is thinking making him walk all the way the enemy base.

In that last game the nidas could have saved all of those SH. He shouldn't have walked them back.

Swarm host play is probably my favorite of all the cheese so far

Love to see you back man!

first game was tooo smooth

12-13 pool into swarm hostes from one base really powerful cheese

Can anything ever tilt Uthermal? He seems to have such a positive reaction to.. everything!

Mark, 5 swarms hosts kill nexus if unopposed. If they pop close enough, even 4 is enough.

lmao the BM spore

Lol... got to love the salt!

Terran guy just played Starship Troopers. Bugs. Bugs everywhere.

last game needed burrow to save stuff

You should def place creep tumors when you nydus with your queens near their bases though. It'll take someone like protoss forever to clean up.

Can you Use the Trick with the drone to break the Unit cap, too?

Hey! SmarsA is the player I just saw beat a Zerg on IODIS last night with this exact strat! Maybe carriers ARE imba...

Fun games!

I really thought spines outranged cannons 🤯

I do +1 swarmhosts with burrow, and that gives some good games.

Hahaha, love seeing the creative terran mentality churn out zerg hive mind builds! These are hilarious!

Thermy, why walk those hosts home? Build a nydus for them

Was it not possible to expand sometime at some point in game 3?

you ever find our who was bar code from game 2??

Hear me out. Queen inject should work on swarmhost making the cooldown shorter.

Challenge. Purple Haze. Creep aggressively, and defend it with extreme prejudice.

I’d hate playing against you one day 😂😂😂

One thing i find amazing about pro players is how their supply reach 100 before 7min , i get that at around 11minutes 😅
