Dude, your English is obscenely good. Be proud of it. My favorite language researcher says we all learn accents pretty easily but we don't use our ability because it feels like we're lying about our identity. But if you ever decided to "fake" an American accent I would 100% believe you were a native speaker. In dozens of videos I've been impressed dozens of times and can only recall one instance where I thought you said something that I wouldn't say.

18:47 “That is 200 minerals down the drain, let’s freaking go” thermy such a memer haha I love it. And the humility is awesome

I have no idea how you manage to play so well on top of the meaningful commentary on builds, timings, what to do better, and explaining your own actions as you go through the game. Incredible

uThermal needs to make merch with the phrase, "Let's Freakin Go!"

Good guy uThermal - reviewing the games, treating opponents with respect and helping them out by pointing out their mistakes.

Let it Be Known. Fully upgraded 3-3 Marines is SO SATISFYING to see their full DPS unleashed.

Scanning your own base at 4:30, what a psycho move

These are great Marc. You are my favorite for a reason. The way you compliment the other player's strengths and genuinely critique their weaknesses, not just trash them, is fantastic. You are growing for a good reason man! This is what I love about your content, maybe others do too

With that TvZ build you might need to change your name to combatshieldamove

Hey uThermal,i think one "hero" unit per challenge would be a fun idea,like making 1 tank as a hero unit and if it die no more tanks 😀

“Everything is HELLA weird” uthermal most of done some time in the Bay Area of California 🤣

Could land that factory in the last game in that rear expo spot to force reaction and block the hatchery build!

You have some of the best content on youtube dude. I cannot even understand how I watch this game I don't even play. Your commentary, your kindness, and your skill is mindblowing. Love it.

Another Banger... And BTW... Your English is better than a large % of native English speakers =)) If anyone gives you any crap for near perfect mastering of the English language, just ask them to describe and cast a convoluted hour long game of SCII with intricate details as you do, but in a second language like Dutch or Flemish / Vlaans!!

I always appreciate the after game recaps of the short games, I wouldn't be able to follow the fast games otherwise :D

Lol is anyone else keeping track of if uthermal is ACTUALLY playing all these people in previous games? I love they he always brings it up at the start of each game and I am super curious if he’s just crazy or on point ahahah. Keep up the great content buddy!!!

14:28 - the moment player called "stimamove" wins a game without stim and with heavy micro

Thank you so much for explaining your game! I'm learning so much from this!

I think you could make top 25... You're such a great player. Why did you retire? You've inspired me to dust of SC and play again and boy do I suck lol. I haven't ever played SC 2, interesting that you can make an addon then switch the main building for it. Crazy! Your micro is on point my friend

Hey uThermy! I just wanted to say I recently went back to casting after a long break because of anxiety but your videos gave me the inspiration and courage to get back on it because you put out such great content while also giving so many good vibes and deep analysis of what you are doing. Thank you for being you!

I remember Serral had 28 PRO MATCHES winning streak at some point. he finally ended up losing to the greatest Terran of all time. does anyone remember who it was?

Again amazing content-keep on shining uthermal, keep on shining, SC-All-Star! Thank you.

Im really hyped to see how the double reactor build does in higher mmr!

You're the best player in the world Seriously. You toy with grandmasters regularly while doing "challenges" and strange strategies all while streaming it onto youtube... do not let these words get to your head, keep improving. You deserve to be told that. All you have to do is prove to the world you're the best. Trust me, you can and WILL do it! GL!!!! Ty for all your content!!!!

I dont even like starcraft, but enjoy your videos, your on to something, your commentary is great.

LOVE your content, uThermal! 🥰

> "...How high can I get?..." You are an adult, mate. You can get as high as a kite, as far as I'm concerned.

Just wanted to say you have great english. I didnt even know it wasnt your first language I just assumed you had an accent. Keep doing the lords work!

That multipronged attack in the last game was amazing!

Thank you. I can't wait to see you play challenge builds at dreamhack

Missed a day of uthermal but got back today and now I get to watch 2 videos:) And uthermal, your English is spot on bro don't trip, I grew up in Hawaii and they speak English there but it is a terrible version of it, you are just fine:)

that was a fantastic nice funny hectic warmup game

You steam rolling so hard just with Marines. It is nuts!

The importance of scounting... something Demuslim never learned.

I'm optimistic for you, you'll get to top 16 for sure!!

uThermal your speech is good, don't worry about it man!

The idea that you can be a grandmaster terran player while also still leaving every single TvT at start is fucking mind blowing to me xDD

I dont even play starcraft because I have boomer hands, and yet here I am. Ive been watching all of your videos. Keep up the great work, youre very fun to watch.

Love your content, and yes, any time you think about english sentences they sound wrong (fully native english speaker here). Currently living in Germany and failing hard to speak German.

I'm going to call top 20! You got this Thermy

I think top 50 will happen for sure, I’d love to see you push for top 25

Top 20 for sure... GL 💜

Video build order timing is good today :DDD

Hey UThermal veel liefde van utrecht 😁

thank you. rank 25. your English is very good. don't worry about small details.

Your English is better than many Americans. Not something worth losing focus over. ✌🏼

uThermal = planet size brain compared to my pea brain

I'm thinking if Uthermal ever gets to the top 15 on this challenge - Blizzard will step in and nerf the marines 😁

Let's go!

I hate watching these videos because it makes me, someone that has never played an actual matchmaking game in SC1 or SC2, think that I could be great at this game. Love these videos, keep them coming uThermal!

I think people in gm will recognise you and hard counter the comp so even top 50 may be a little rough. If you hit top 16 it will be quite incredible.

is it considered bm to use tank splash as a counter to counter-drop defense? for example, the drop attempt ~20:50?

Honestly I couldn't tell you weren't born in North America dude. Don't worry about your english, it is more than passable and is better than many native speakers. Congrats on the worlds first 1vs7 challenge wins as well.

that is a hella funny spray

dear marine man marc, You should never feel like you have to apologize for your english! How may languages do you speak? 3? 4? Your vocabulary and grammar is better than the english I hear in my american town. Another great video! Looking forward to you bringing some fun builds to the tournament in Atlanta.

NA pros that I can think of - Trigger, Special, Astrea, Scarlett. There's a probably a couple more.

Based on your comment and comparing my units movements and reaction, I guess I'm playing offline with 450 ping LOL !!!

What a god

Game 1 is "Acheron", the Terran one was "Aqueron" iirc.

I'll support you in DH atlanta

Your English is better than my Fresian/Dutch

From time to time I would probably like also few games from the main acc

Top 17. I think you can get with this challenge :)

500 mmr difference between rank 1 and highest "to GM" rank is actually pretty big bc it's much harder to gain mmr as you go higher. You eventually only face low elo foes, where losses hurt hard and wins are worth much less

Your English is better than some people I know, and that’s the only language they speak 😹

Top 20 GM doable!

I believe you can reach top 16 with marine only. They are pretty good and so is your micro and decision making.

omg! when are you going to dreamhack for the event?

if you make top 16 will you come out of retirement to play terrain?

I definitely think you can get top 30 if you go all out.

whats the worst mistakes you've made? - nuked your own army/base? - lifted all command centers? - doom dropped but wasn't looking and all medivacs died? I've done all 3 🤣 yeah I suck

uthermal, have you played arcade Direct Strike?

Bro, I didint even know you spoke a different main language 😂 your a really fluent speaker…

Man, how did you drop your marines from 4 Medivac at the same time? Did you push the d button on each one of them? It’s so crazy!😮

What were starting to say when they recalled to the base you had dropped in?

14:22 ... those splits were slow?

4.5k zerg needs a bar code in case somebody recognizes them.

I realy think you cold win a ept with this

My guess rank 30, it's not really a surprising guess when the number one expert in the world in these challenges gives you the answer

400 minerals down the drain, 1 scan is 2 mules and they are 200 each

I'm sure you know this but you can set a preferred server in settings so you get the Singapore server less.

Regardless of what rank you end up in, I hope you at least hit rank 69 along the way.

I would guess at least rank 32 Marc 💪

Great hold on that first game

6:21 could you explain what was unfortunate?... if you can remember enough to finish that thought. :-)

cmonBruh

Why are you talking about TvT during a TvP?

top 69

next patch blizzard nerfs marines

Your English is excellent. Other than possibly....."on accident".......it's "by accident" in reality - but you've probably said it so often by now it'd feel strange to use it. I'm kinda krap with languages (other than maybe Korean) so I'd say don't worry about it - and definitely just follow your tongue rather than brain - mental translation is kinda death for me at least 😃

whats is tvt?

rank 25 for sure

Dont mind top 50 with m.m

Great English, U-Thermal. Just two points - we say "by accident", not "on accident". Have a look at 'Conditionals' on a short You-Tube video to fix those "if" sentences.

I think you can get top 20 NA

rank 8

I propose you rename to combatshieldamove

You will get to rank 60

top 10 NA easy👍
