HotS campaign: "Look how ruthless and evil Mengsk is nuking his own capital." UThermal: "Ooo that was the greatest self-nuke ever, silly goose!"

Ghost Academy fire control: "Alpha 03, are you SURE about that last set of launch coordinates?!?!" Ghost: "Bring the rain". 😎

winning a base race by double nuking your main is absolutely epic

Interesting how Thermys voice switches in and out frequently from high pitch/falsetto voice to normal voice when he gets exited 😂

I’ve been following your StarCraft streams for a while, and I have to say, you’re absolutely awesome at what you do. Your insights, strategies, and gameplay are top-notch, and I’ve learned so much just from watching you play. Your content adds a lot of value to the StarCraft community, and I truly appreciate the hard work you put into your videos and streams. Keep up the fantastic work, and know that you have a solid supporter in me! Looking forward to more epic content.

Uthermal is literally radiating. Crazy first game 😂

Cheers 🍻 🎉 to the GOAT

Would love to see you hide banshee’s while amassing them with a HUGE game winning surprise all in with them.

Maxim 20: "If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win."

uthermal nukes own base and makes it clear iits the best option to get a victory. Incredible.

12:25 i like the idea of spamming emp runbys to get more utility out of ghosts vs Terran

'Launch those nukes' 'But Emperor those are our men.' 'In war there are sacrafices for the better good, launch them right now' 'Yes Emperor'

This is such a joy to watch, it's truly incredible how you manage to make almost every game so damn interesting to watch.

29:10 That poor Reaper doing the short patrol back and forth. How dizzy must he have been. I got dizzy just watching him! :D

32:49 - 33:10 "It's not usually rocket science." Nice pun XD

Holy crap those self nukes were incredible. Literally 4 of them!! Two covering your entire main! Insane 💥🔥 love the big plays!!

"playing minesweeper"... lol... you funny marc :D

Marc, if you're not really sure what to nuke, go for depots, garanteed raze. Like in the last game there were many depots there near CC.

Always a fun video with uThermal.

25:45 unintentional word play "his units were better than mines" xD

that first game was legendary. Again ghosts prove to generate the most amazing games.

15:18 "I can kinda see it" -- CantSeeMe, 2023

Ghosts trade better against colossus than you'd think. Depending on the upgrades, if micro'd to minimize splash,+ 2 EMPs, 3 ghosts should beat a colossus. Since ghosts aren't light, it takes ~5 colossus swipes to kill a ghost.

(radio static from the nuclear blasts settles to only ear ringing volume of white noise) "...GG"

The year is 2038: more than 85% of SC2 matches are uthermal challenges. Scientists are baffled by the first instance of "multiverse computing" as utermal is matched against uthermal.

It'd be interesting to see the win/loss record for each of the races for each challenge

Challenge ideas: Sieging only- army centers on mines, tanks, and libs. In the strictest form, only unseiging when you need to move them. Second idea: Burrow rush.

"...Oh my goodness, what a game! There we go, I told you we can do it!..." 💣💣💣

That was.. the best nuke game I've seen from you in awhile!

Marc forgot that a ghost is a widow mine's best friend against phoenixes.

Watching those self nukes was better than watching a queen sacrifice into checkmate.

Arcturus would be proud of those nukes

Congrats on getting over 100k subscribers. You deserve it. All 3 games were excellent.

This was an amazing episode!!!

Thanks for the cloaking and nuking fun! x^)

That first game was absolutely awsome to watch

I never lose faith in uThermal. So long as there's 1 Ghost still alive it can kill up to 100 supply single handedly.

That widow mine lockon issues is further aggravated by the closer mine having moved a fraction more and burrowed a fraction later.

The ultimate bait would be wait for him to try and lift the WMs then EMP at the last second so he can't do it and all his stuff blows up.

Opponent: I’m going to kill you. uThermal: Let me help you *calls in nukes on own base* Opponent: What did you say? *BOOM*

Wow. So much action just like a movie 🍿

Greatest double seppuku I’ve ever seen. GGWP!!!

Time to mix it up Marc. Throw in soem planetary fortress rushes with widow mine escorts. Medivac drops. Or. Go hardcore defensive, and try and see how many banshees you can save before trying for a banshee overwhelm.

If you're not willing to bombard your own position, you're not willing to /win/ -The artillerymans primer

Aww yeah. Just finished cooking and now I got something to watch.

Crazy nukes! Awesome!

that was absolutly EPIC!!!!!

13:52 Really, how did he not fall back...

Gotta love those Mengsk strategies

always good stuff

I think the only valid strategy from now on might be early harass choke and base trade? "Espionage Trader" might be a more fitting name than "You Can't See Me"?

Game 1 was so so good.

Gosh - with a title like that - you just know it's going to be good!

marc have you ever nuking your own army when there is a threat of attacking so when you retreat, he goes in? kinda hard to time but so big brain :)

34:57 I thought the audio was stuttering at first lol.

Might arguee that a nuke is rocket science 😂

you couldnt script a more perfect episode

i was hoping some medivacs would drop some widowmines in game 2.

loved this strategy

We never lose faith in you Thermy 🙏 ❤️ 💙 🙌🏻! Great games 🎮 👏 👌

You make nuking look so darn easy 😎

That was sick😊

I was 100% sure you aren't going to win last game, but all you needed was that one nuke in the main to pull it off

You ARE the best ty

Would you be willing to film your hands for one game, from its beginning to its conclusion?

You should try scanning where you're not nuking to make the opponent look in the wrong place ;)

Nice nukes wow I would of raged hard on that GG.

we love these ones

What I learned is: "When in doubt, nuke your own base"

Dude self nukes during a basetrade and blows mind of grandmaster player. Keeps a 20 year old game refreshing.

I think we need to do predictive nuking- when you expect to force a response with the first wave of nukes, after a small delay post a nuke on where it would be most logical for him to go after he’s dodged the first wave

Crazy

Woo wee 🎉

Wild self nukes wp

you should use the terran ghost banner to suit with the username and profile pic

NUKE seff FTW~!~

Let's go!

I don’t think you should ever add on additional factories unless its like mass bc or skytal. Against zerg I think mass ghost with widow mines for support is probally best and maybe a single starport since roaches might be an issue

nukes can be so boring when the enemy just keeps dodging them... then there is this game.

How about a series where every 10 (or 15?) mins, you can change strategy? So say you open cloak-only, but then start getting countered, if you survive to 15 minutes, you can switch to any other meme-comp challenge

You silly geese.

Hello uThermal. Is there any chance that you would create a beginner mech guide ?

WoW self nukes winning move! OMG 🤣

what if you scan the main base but banshee nuke the natural wouldn't that be evil?

First game awesomely entertaining..... awesome..... 👌 😂😊😮😊

uThermalheimer

Purge by fire.

Self nuke to GM.

YOu should experiement in how to hide a red dot. Typically its an overlay, but hte red dot can be hidden by some units.. just imagine where their camera is and how to block them from seeing it, or colours etc. Red Dot is hard to see. but certain texture and layer issues in some units that can hide the dot. hmm... or distort... but hte angle of camera can reveal it. on a side note, what if recall since it uses energy, recharges shields simultaneously. SO liek a very slow shield battery... on all units... which makes it doubly defensive. Or while in recall the phasic states causes, dogdge/evasion trait to be enacted during and after for 3.2 seconds, 20% dodge.

there is a reason you got famous with the ghost

Rofl nuking yourself to the win...

Normally I'd be frustrated by the nukes, but when you do it to your own base, that's just greedy on their part....

taking notes, turns out the trick to tvt is nuking yourself

Game 1 😂

A bit expensive, but you could also try nuking main base infrastructure, 3-4x nukes to wipe most out. Should be quite unexpected and effective as the first time you nuke in their main seems to always land from what I've seen.

Self-Nuke to GM when?

👀🙏🥰

If Widow Mines only target units that haven't been targeted already by another widow mine, wouldn't it be better to spread them out more? It would also slow down any attacks, as the opponent would also be stopping and searching every time a mine goes off. You'd also be covering more of the map, be able to see more of the map and catch drops all over the place 😉 Especially leaving a couple of mines in the mineral line would be a good idea that it appears people don't seem to think of. It would destroy drops and air attacks automatically. Am I missing something? You know, using mines actually AS mines?

Wp

I call clickbait Marc :) - certainly not your greatest self-nukes of all time (remember the roaches up the ramp, and the game immediately after that?). Self-nuking should be your new late-game cheese. Make a sacrificial base, wait for opponent to attack it with all their army, then surround it with 4-6 simultaneous nuke blasts which also cover all exit points.
