"protoss hoping for the pc to blow up, never know" had me rolling

I love the post tournament voice overs. Getting your thoughts and insights for both the games and just in general is a lot of fun. The fact that you're out there retired and meming and can still show up and make pro players sweat is amazing.

"Slightly bad mannered scan."

Awesome run for a retired underdog, don't boo yourself so much! So fun to watch and gave us that awesome game🎉😂

"it's like a Giraffe right?" - Marc, on the Colossus

Pro Tip: make sure to use the Classic Command Center skin so that the enemy struggles to notice whether your CCs are PFs or not 🗿🗿

wow this is super fun to watch! after watching all the challenge games i think you got really good because you understand the game incredibly well.

honestly i love the chat being seen, keep it in a few more videos i love it, keep going man

The best fear you because you are good enough to beat them.

Marc feeling the friendship no jutsu at the start of the 1st game of the 2nd set. We love you too, bro. Keep it up!

you know uthermals in his pro gamer mode when he starts drawing rally point stars!!!

Thanks for the videos, Marc! Love these tourny videos. Keep shining!

Marc, you can win this tournament. You're unpredictable and unconventional. A deadly combination no one else has. Good luck!

Well played, Marc! Lambo is an absolute beast, but you played some absolutely fantastic games. GG, and maybe next year you can go just as far as full Random!

So glad to see you motivated marc! Glad to see all the fun play makes you better at pro play!

Thanks for sharing these great games and the instructive analysis. ^^

12:20 360 no scope

Serral probably so mad the first million dollar tourny happens when he goes to the military

Love the tournament videos!

You have the goods Thermy! The last reaper fail I think has bitten a lot of us Terrans recently. The enemy has been burned by reapers so much they are hyper prepared for them now, but it's so tempting because you know how fast 5 reapers can destroy the economy. GG and I will cheer for you next time!

God some of these people in twitch chat should be embarrassed of themselves 😮‍💨. oh BTW you got a feature in the MEMES OF LIBERTY campaign mod, with one of your strats and a name shoutout, and also GGG said you were a solid dude

Great matches!

Hey Marc! Have you played against Harstem (Kevin) at all? You both are from the Netherlands and the only SC2 KZfaqrs I watch. I'd love to see a PvT between the two of you.

I have watched many, and your splits are gymnastic. I don't know how you do it so well.

GG man. Thanks for this!

Wow, Astra mentally imploding. Who could have seen that coming?

I like the chat! I hope you keep it going forward :)

listening to your speach about the fans in the chat. happy to support, if it works for you!

U bring this game so entertaining dnt stop keep going bro

Thank you for sharing the losses along with the wins, they are just as entertaining.

The games were very entartaining. Thanks for the video.

i kinda like the chat being there

Game #1 I can't believe he only had 18 probes back home behind that push lol.

Btw, I know it ain't new but thank you for setting up those ad breaks between games instead of in the middle of them ! ❤

Amazing video Marc, I really enjoyed it. Top 16 is a really good placing and I think your final defeat was mostly just a problem with learning a new map. The kind of stuff that comes easier to someone on that competitive grind, which you're not doing. Thank you for sharing with us

Definitely like the after the fact commentary vids!

That chat was wild!!

It’s cool to see the occasional try-hard tournament gaming. Flex those Terran muscles !

That TvP was absolute masterclass. Btw was encountering Lambo bad luck or is it just expected from this level of qualifiers?

That Strange match was very fun.

What a run!!

Very good games and commentary. Haven't watched so much Sc2 in one go in a while. Thank you. A bit of unlucky draw though.

we love you Thermy!

idk to me the tempest seemed normal, he went stargate so to break your siege he went the next step of stargate the tempest, which in my mind is basically air artillery, they outrange your turrets and can easily kite and poke your turrets/tanks down.

Please keep the twitch chat! Makes it more hype! :>

I crossed my fingers so hard my left hand is my right hand now

@38:00 gj keeping the secret mark XD

Wow, didn't know Strange was still playing. Last time I saw him play was back in 2018-2019. 😅😅😅

YEAH THERMY!

Riveting games. Excellent content.

1:17:15 Extremely premature quit. Being behind before 4 minutes is absolutely something that can be turned around. Just as one can make a mistake, so can the opponent later on. Besides, the most challenging and exciting games are the rare ones where the player surpasses his own expectations. But a player who gives up easily will hardly ever give himself the opportunities to surpass and play the most exciting matches one can play.

Amazing to see the hight of your level as a ex pro

Missed the mines against Lambo

sigh, saudi sports washing.

was that THE BikeRush in the chat???

Thanks Marc.-!

F*cking legend

yup

Look ma, I'm on TV! 😁 I was looking forward to this video after watching the stream live. I'm surprised that you used the stream to comment over instead of replay files. But I like it! However, the first round against Strange has some useless political chat which take away from the video, for me at least. But still a great video! Good job on the tournament!!! 👏 Would have been fun to see you go further, but it is what it is.

Nice

Wow that nuka guy in the chat is just wonderful.

a diamond would struggle to do a push like that protoss did. so clearly hes for sure 4-5k Pretending to be plat to try and win a tournament is kinda of insane and scummy. but honestly, I respect the hustle.

🎉❤🎉 let's go!

Why do uThermal ALWAYS first select a Engineering Bay when he intends to build a Barrack?

It was an amazing run! I’m proud of the progress you’ve made so far. Thanks for the awesome videos, looking forward for the next ones. 🫡✌🏻

@uthermal I love your usual vidz where you live comment, and it's impressive as f*ck but to be frank, I prefer this type of vid. Because we get the best of you on both front, commentary And gameplay! Anyway, I love all your content, continue being you, you're awesome and a big thank you for your content ! ❤😊

Sportswashing cup

👏👏👏

Thinking about skillous I'll always remember the Bongcloud - sorry

Which play wins the tounrnament and won the 1 million❤exzellente video

👍🏼💯 GL --- 😂 Hawk Tuah has entered the SC2 scene, beautiful!

The dude defs could be a smurf but I dont think assuming that because of someone's micro you can assume theyre a smurf I have been accused of smurfing on ladder games for having really good micro and abnormal APM for a plat player but i peaked like plat 1 all time in sc2

3:33 how the probes dead with only 1 cyclone attack????

Cant change the video quality settings for the last few videos grrrr

First opponent is a smurf?

props to both you and lambo but 1:13:13 just shows you how stupid banelings are and why they shouldn't be in the game...seriously....you can't expect anyone other than AI to be able to survive that...it just doesn't belong in the game where 3 seconds wipe out your entire army

Esports World Cup…

why do you click the same thing so many times? is there a benefit?

Did you paly T? Liquipedia bracket shows R

protoss good unit

Yo, thermy...i would love to see you go pro again. You have so many fans now ❤

These were great games, I'm pretty sure I said it before, but I love the challenge builds (looking forward to blink dt to gm 😅) but it is fun to see a normal play sometimes too

Love your videos, uThermal. Just my opinion, I love when your silhouette is in the video. Can u just put yourself in the video even if you are making a voice-over, ps 🥹🥹🥹

gg wp friend

Early squad!

No, not literally. This is not the biggest tournament man, inflation matters a lot, especially recently. Im really surprised that people are still fooling themselves at nominal values. It's maybe third or fourth biggest tournament, not biggest. If we had tournament 100 000 $ and then we had inflation 500% 1 year then we need 600 001 $ tournament to tell "this is the biggest tournament". Guys, please. But yeah, it's pretty big anyways. But don't confuse yourself and others. In reality inflation was much higher than official data, there is a new methodology. In reality after 10 years 1 dollar then is like 2,5-3 dollar now. Just look at the prices then and now. So it's far from biggest prize, just remember about it. You can forgot about inflation during low inflation years, but not when inflation was high.
