@@MadShadow_ Yeah it was prophesied years ago... uThermal the first non-pro pro to go random. But he is a zerg at heart.

12:30 You needed burrow to save your drones from the roaches!!

As a full on amateur my classic move is "I'm going to build an absolutely beautiful macro base... wait where did all these zerglings come from?!"

Can’t wait to watch him compete again. I feel like all these challenges make him so much more well rounded as a competitor. Maybe even able to pull off an off race cheese to steal a win.

I think he's better playing when he's going crazy rather than following the 'normal way' i don't know why but it seems like the pressure of the comps seem to minimize his best parts.

@@davecolwell725 he doesnt feel the pressure and looks really strong when he is playing crazy builds, but he is playing against so much worse players. the difference between an ex pro high gm player and a master/lowgm player is ridiculous, so big in fact that he is able to win most games doing crazy challanges. If he is matched vs same skilled players he can not go crazy...

That hurt my soul when Thermy wouldn't burrow his drones.

And kept biling the spines instead of the detecting spore, although he said many times in his commentary "I'm gonna bile the spores with the ravager". But still a very fun game.

This series is the one thing that Dragged me deep into StarCraft content and made me start playing it(Proud Silver 2 after a week of playing). Am gonna miss the Zerg series o7.

I just scrolled through the uThermal videos page and laughed at all the different reaction faces on the thumbnails,highly recommend the experience

Do the series where you use an infestor to capture their SCV and then build your own command center!

17:50 I think burrowing the drones would've been insane

A thought I had from that first game was using corrupters to kill the lair then send one to hit the spawning pool, as you get infester pit into hive. save some of the corrupters from the earlier attack and get proxy brood lords!

Ok, what about this challenge: Doom Drop, every race, drop an huge army with the best units, with upgrades. I would like to see the games. Big fan, by the way

Wait no please don't stop playing zerg, I'm really enjoying these videos

I honestly love watching the hatch rushes! Drone up hard behind the hatch rush into hydra.

at 10:35 you could morph dropper lords to hide your drones from the ground army.

Corruptors crank up their damage over time, so just use one or two per hatchery and go for multiple at the same time.

Hey Uthermal, don't forget you can also burrow your workers when you are flooded by lings instead of running away ;)

I hope to watch you play more Zerg and Terran in the future :D Much love, thanks for the great content

I feel like I haven't seen any cheeses with banelings. Can't we get some baneling drops with overlord speed or burrowed banelings? 😊

when I was watching about 18:00, I want you to know, drones could also burrow

18:30 you could've burrowed your drones ^^

I think my favourite cheeses are mass mutas (it's so overwhelming) and ultralisks (no one sees it comming), although all of them are really fun

My gosh will i miss this series.

This is sooooooo much fun! Your my SC2 Hero!

What if you sent a couple drones, made 1 hatch, cancel into a spine(outside vision but close?), do for the 2nd drone as well? Walk 2 spines basically in with the lings? Probably weak, I assume, since I haven't seen it.

You burrowed your ravagers and roaches near his spore. I’m not near your MMR, but I do notice you go almost all in a little soon quite often IMHO. ❤

*declines to finish off 1hp overlord* "I've been doing a good job of clearing the overlords" aaaaargh :"D Anyway great ep as always :)

Bangin' !

I'm a little late to the party here... but around the 20 minute mark you kept burrowing your low HP roaches but were in range of his spore. so they were visible. Burrow and then them out of detection and they will heal.

(Uthermal sees a spire and mashes corrupter build hotkey) "C'mon daddy needs his medicine."

Let's go!

The Queen of Blades herself just used the Double Ling Drop into Nydus against Astrea in the NA regionals recently!

Would love to see some 2v2 with you and ThrivingGG doing some weird builds together haha. Has been a great battle against the guy I feel like you're basically best friends now

I think the corruptor build could be good but I am not sure it is something I'd like to do with a lot of money. Building a spire and doing something like roaches or lings would make more sense. Build the spire then sit on it, if he puts spores in every base just cos you built a building that is good for you don't build any corruptors. If he does not respond then when you got a bunch of money 4+ bases suddenly showing up with some corruptors when you remax getting a hatch and a bunch of overlords could be good. But the 2-base rush of corruptor when he can butter your biscuit with a ground force is no bueno its downsides are too obvious.

2nd game. You could BURROW your drones to keep them safe. At least for the heavy attacks. He would leave if there's nothing to kill while you whittled down his lings with your roaches. After they got to a more manageable amount you could drone drill with your roaches attacking simultaneously.

Love the hydra build

If you get burrow early you can use burrow to save your drones

28:25 I thought you were going to say "and we're playing against terran so now I can guarentee it"

I was hoping you would burrow the drones to avoid the ling attack.

oh goodness dont wrap it up please!

At 22:00, why not burrowing the drones? Isn't that easier than moving them exposed to fast lings?

nooooo i love this series

Burrow your drones when attacked? Would that be more economic?

Let’s gooooo.💪💪

In that second game he probably should have burrowed his drones

I just only want to watch Marc Zerg. It just seems like a race he is more suited to

@uThermal, can you beat grand master with a single zerg unit type? Unless you have already done so 0.0

If you know you're going verus Uthermal...would it be more cheese to jist play normal since no one would expect it?

the one time you didn't check for hidden bases, he had a gold 😅

Marc needs his corrupter fix again

I watch your videos everyday during lunch

I still think your proxy spine rush was best cheese vs terran. I started copying it, it's so fun vs T/P

The hydralisk games are my favorite

Is it possible to get grandmaster whit Teran where you never build a wall, only bunkers and turrets will be you allowed to defend with, but you can't build a wall with them either. Just a idea that popup

wait, why mine minerals with the drone that's going to make the base?

Don't you lose the minerals a drone mined when you make a building?

Like it But dude, you can BURROW THE DRONES and negotiate all the damage zerglings are capable of

I was crying inside at the missed opportunity during that ling flood!

we need brood lord to gm

Why not just burrow the drones instead of running away?

what about mass overseers clogging terran production with a timing attack?

i like how my zerg play got better ever since he started uploading more zerg games

I had to click because thermies salute and funny face. Made my day !!!

I want to see thermy BM as terran with the wincon of dropping vikings out of a medivac Imagine how much shame a gm would feel losing to that

Queso de zergalitos!

First game was pretty good ngl.

First game.. a little strange.. corruptor rush.. was okay... not sure why you sacked your drones, since the mutas will kill the roaches. Better strat may have been sending them to the corners... of the map to re mine the outside area. Recalling your mutas to clean up the roaches would of put you in a winning position. His economy was slightly better, but he was wasting income on overlord rebuilds... and defence... WHich counters his eco non lead... It was imo, sacrficing your base to 11 roaches.... There was no need for eco damage.... mutas are fast, so its about 20 seconds.. there and then back into the base and have some mid sight... If you do a base exchagne and your defence is air, Macro hatchery or wall of on the ramp can be useful, since roaches range is 3... mutas should be able to easily kill 7 and save teh e co... also a (hidden base during a exchange is typically what I would do as a zerg, if I want to do a base exchange. Since the focus is off basis... You had so many mutas, that essentialyl what Ithought would happen happened, The zerg turtled on one base with minerals.. and accepted all ouside losses. You are playing Zerg, to much like Terran.. Zerg is a very mobile race. Returning home is a good idea, when yo uahve a combat advantage.... Protoss doesn't have this advantage becasue of its lethargic units, so recall is almost a need to coutner the slow protoss army... You had done considerable damage. I thin kteh largest mistake was seeing a few rooches going across, and stayoing on yoru enemy. These are all free trades. So you Take 7 and kill all zerg untis (free kills and area negative offset against him) use 5 left over mutas to harass his overlords and force him to use apm to defend.... You were way ahead, there was no ammount of raoches that could defend... So that frist wave, kill it for free, since there is no eco advantage in losses. and zerg is pretty much used to being trash... so punish it... and then matnain your eco if you paly as you were, and you would of been way ahea,d since transitioning to air, or hydras would of been costly.. and require a lair... and zerg is quite fast a producing.. Hwoever, if you do a base exchange and its early. Macro hatch on the ramp is great, because you can block it, and not sure why peopel don't do this more... as it onyl require one other building to block it... and its relatibvely cheap.. there is no cost... lost in a hatchery.. being built... in z verse Z.... two base 3 base... some games can be determined by simply larva... and three hatches.... 10 seconds a larva... plus zerg has a deficit of hatch time... So.. more larva is always better early game.. allows good flexibility, and allows you to super saturate a base.. so if the person is too busy defending you... and they are taking losse adn there army is about teh same, if youthink yo ucan distract them for about 30- 40 seconds drone up typically... but requires so idea of waht is going on... in my experience... zerg needs always atleast 3 production buildings... thats 3 larva per 11 (10.7) seconds + 3* larva per inject (29 seconds) inject.... hatcheries are so important, as the expression to production is multiplied. Cannot be played like other races. Larva is the life line of zerg. Notes: Hatchery is Capped at 19 Larva. Hatchery not sure, spawns larva but I thoughti t stops spawning at 4 larva and only injects adds to teh total. you can see how this is essential and qhy queens are so important. So 19 larva.. per hatchery... So larva and hatcheries technically give more time to zerg... and the game you cna play wit hzerg is see larva hatch something, lol... then late game you want ot build a massive pool of larva.. 100 larva may not even be good enough. I think that first game wasn't lost because of the strategy it was lost because of the choice not ot wall and deal wit hthe wave and return back.. and not protecting enough drones. If you are all-in'in its cheap to make a side corner hatchery for income, since they may be focused on your base.. and during mutas/ corruptor since its not used, they may not be able to calculate your total spending ratio.. . anyways.... Zerg... queens and hatcheries.. super important in the begining, not onyl for defence ,but larva is basically the real currency of zerg, not so much minerals.. larva is a life line, and waiting for larva to spawn... can feel like an eternity.. and falling behind on larva production creates... an additional prodcution loss to hatch timing cost... My thoughts .... Loss was simply because of a choice to exchange in a base trade when the enemy was giving you free trades which is a negative mining score..... you can mine out an entire map, and if you never build a unit that deals with what is attacking you, you will lose.. which gives you more time to macro up with a smaller army if their army is ineffective..

Please replace your keyboard. Your period key is misfiring and putting multiple periods everywhere. It makes you look like you have a cognitive impairment.

Hand straight and don't put your thumb under the hand, it is all one line from elbow to the tips of your fingers! Now that this has been cleared, bring pain and suffering to the players! I enjoy it :-D

Bro before it ends do a spine drop into the main base

1:50 - Why do you let the drone mine some minerals, and then morph it into a hatchery? Doesn't it waste the resource?

Last episode is a slow macro game with some creep spread.

My Spotify Year Review told me im 0.001% of Thrmys top viewers 😂😍

I don't know why but seeing thriving GG calling you a meanie makes me happy ^^ it's cute

uThermal slowly becoming a zerg main, lol xD

noooo plz no endorino!

Creep spread to gm? 😂❤

No!

Bit of a dramatic title for this one eh? Lol❤

To many suicide missions there Marc, like if the Napoleon wished to destroy something with speed strength, but not enough of dps. When you heald em at the gate, you should have waited in the reserve & then procced, instead 2 frontlines 2 armies where destroyed. Feelt like a WATERLOO Syndrome right there Marc! :D Something to keep in mind till the next time, I liked this episode very much indeed, thank you! And happy weekend to you & family!

It's like you stop in the middle of a decent idea and think, "how could I throw this game away?" Not criticizing... A lot can be learned this way.

I don't get why you went for that basetrade instead of booming in the first game. He couldn't attack you with his roaches if your mutas were at home. There was no need to allow his roaches to do damage.

I don't get why you just let him kill your drones without reacting with them

Anyone else want to see more Burrowing strats?

STOP WITH THE CORRUPTORS in ZvZ.... plz Marc its like trying to experiment to make shit on a stick a gourmet experience its a fundamentally worthless idea to begin with because at its core it is shit on a stick.

E

Zerg is the hardest to play in any pro tournament, as it gets the most nerf of almost all units, while terran and protoss got upgrades. Terran and Protoss >>>>>> Zerg.

Zerg will always be the strongest race, especially into late game

you've been losing a lot of games lately. I understand that it's about having fun. But please show your class that you are a pro. don't think that I didn't play starcraft... I had more than one sleepover when I was 17... It was 23 years ago.😊

If you could get down better about having more queens at home and microing your burrow roaches, you could do way better early game. It’s harder than microing blink stalkers but same concept. I enjoy the content tho.
