And to think you once thought you could actually beat Serral LMAO how cringe

The ling swarm in the last game was so sick! Props to the opponent for hanging on and fighting it out!

31:40 those drones trying their best to help out

Really great games, but the third was fantastic. That's some of the nost fun in SC2 for me. It's not fun when you're completely overwhelmed and lose after one bad engagement. But the games where you ALMOST lose many times over, but manage to claw your way back and eventually win is PEAK fun, in SC2. :) Another fantastic video, my dude!

Hello @uThermal. Great video as usual ! Here is a little SC2 quiz and facts. - Roaches with tunneling claws change skin (you taught me that one) - A colossus can be shoot by vikings and corrupters, so, it is a "flying unit". Considering that, can you parasetic bomb it ? - If you neural an overlord, do you get the supply from it ? - Considering a PF has a range of 6 (7 with high sec), how is it possible for a sieged siege tank (7 range) to shoot at SCVs reparing the PF (so those SCVs are at a range of 7+1 = 8). (and yes beleive me it happens and Blizzard never ever corrected that "bug". That all for today !

ahhh yeah, my favorite series, I think there is a lot of potential in this anytime you can get up to adrenal glands

Second game, if you get more spines at the choke points, swarm the lings so the roaches can't fight the spines without just getting pecked to death I think is the answer. Also proxies? if you know you're just getting all in'd might as well try something cheeky

Love this serie, and love your insights and improvement!

Glad you managed to find the way to beat the hellions with the neural parasite. This was a little frustrating to watch as well as you were so far ahead :)

That second game was mostly lost by taking the third base in that location. It allowed a choke, which decimated your army at the end. Destroy the rocks at the fourth, you normally avoid this base because of all the entrances but the wide open area benefits zergling swarms. And yes, more spines.

20:20 More spines, and maybe infestors may have helped this game. I think don't go for 2/2 when his all-in starts, get infestors instead.

So one thing i would absolutely recommend is upgrading your units. You played a 21 minute game with only 1/1 no adrenal lings. Focusing on only 1 attacking unit and barely upgrading them. I know the armor upgrades dont help a ton against blue flame, but its still worth it to get the upgrades. Just my humble opinion.

40:51 well, you might be 600 IQ, but the opponent is at 1000. He knows, if he EMPs your infestors, they are just as useless as lings against hellbats, thus completing the hardcounter

That neuroplay in the last game was great

If the challenge is called Ling and Infestor to GM, then you should be able to make banelings. This might help with some of the builds' weaknesses.

What a banger that last game was! I think a fast hive for 3/3 and adrenal glands could be beneficial for that many lings, but I trust your judgement on that

I wouldn't believe if I hadn't seen it.

Listening to your commentary sounds so good for my brain... I feel like sc2 is such a good game for people with ADHD you just do soo much stuff at the same time your brain never calms down

Wow, that last match was astonishingly close! Great games as always, thanks:)

Massive respect to NonidTunhnow in the last game, I would have ragequit ages ago when all 3 of my bases were being ravaged by lings. he kept his cool, and played really well after that and actually made a really good game of it. GGWP to you both!

The fungals were perfect! *chefs kiss*

those hellions - It's mine now!!!

Every time an infestor takes over an enemy unit i'm having Carbot wibes.

If you gather minerals with a drone and then morph that same drone into a hatchery before dropping them off, do you receive the minerals?

Thanks for the fun! ^^

That was nearly the death of you there I'd love to see you have a "tap-out" kinda deal - where if its 99% lost - throw the strat out and do whatever you need to do to win it I swear there's been some games where if you just made unit-X you would have won

In the second game, would it have been possible to ignore the roaches and do a base trade? I'm thinking +2atk on the lings and then when he starts his second push you run around his army. Seems he did not build as much structures as you, so with the right timing the lings would get to his base faster, and fewer structures to kill? (I'm a complete noob, so might be a stupid idea.)

Please don't forget to update the playlists :)

Holy moley that zerg dropperlord harassment was insane!

Yo that infestor game at the end was gold. Holy macro

I really like the: "call GG, comment game with, write GG, leave" 👌19:47

Gotta neural the medivacs to heal your own units!

At 20:00, if you have some infestors, will it change the story? I think after you killed his base, you can start making infestors.

I was exhausted just watching that

I think the second game may have went better if you had kept pushing after killing the 3rd, either fighting those reinforcement roaches or run past and kill the mineral line in the main. Retreating gave him too much time to rebuild. But yeah that was quite a good example of why fighting roaches in chokes with lings doesnt work

I understand it's a good habit to have a worker grab minerals before building the first expansion with Terran and Protoss, but isn't it a waste to do it with Zerg?

if you ever roll this style in a tournament and need to soften the rules against high GMs, up to like 3 ultras would probably do the trick already.

Complaining about fully upgraded hellbats hardcountering lings when your ling have 1, 1. Not even adreno glands, what a legend!!!

"The fungals are disgusting"

add a new rule maybe - when the game is "won" sufficiently and your opponent won't leave because his units hard counter yours, you are allowed to push with static defense (spine, planetary, cannon)

I'd love to see a random challenge: Casters to grandmaster.

I dont know how somebody who play Marines DONT tech Combat Shields, not even into Midgame. Especially against Lings and Infestors.

ggwp to NonidTunnow!

Let's go!

With the big dropper lords would it be good to have a few banelings in your big push? Im a bronze league player so I have no idea if the baneling best throws off the build order too much to do it

Thank you for another fun video Marc!

When you are zerg, if you mine and build with a drone holding a mineral does the game include that mineral the drone is holding in the cost of the building? Or do you just lose that mineral?

I remember losing to this….in Bronze league. RIP to me.

Why not make some infestors against the second roach push?

I've a feeling you should rush adrenal in zvz. Not much else you can do against roaches beside praying they split up wrong.

The awesome thing is that the lower brackets clearly aren't watching your channel 😂 Some of these Zerg strats legit leave people frozen 😳😁🤔🤬☠️

Viking only challenge.

Maybe allow an ultralisk into the build sonyou can defend against most of the counter.

RRRRRRRRRR is challenge nemesis

Why no overlorddrops vs mass roaches? Would it work?

Could fast infestors work well against the roach swarm? The problem with the lings is the surface area problem but infestors reverse that.

30:40-32:40: Two minutes of terror!

is there a kind of "overlord first build" existing? Something like a advanced ling rush...

Still think Terrans mech kinda imba against zerg, so we need uThermal game where he shows us how to beat it as zerg!XXD

Lets go Marc!

Love your work

Ultra memory? Does that mean that it derps out all the time?

Woohoo Love what you do

Last game was much more stressful to your opponent than it to you though. Imagie having to deal with just lings and infestors instead of a variety of units in zerg's tech tree, and still losing. WP!😅

can u win by just doing pure worker-qeen strategy?ling is like a drone but not so fast and doesn mine minerals

uThermal meHappy

Yesss

Mass ling are imba :) When you Uthermal everithing is imba

i think you'd have a lot of potential if you decided on killing a roach warren instead of that hatch in the second game. how do you lose to roaches if your opp can't produce them?

nice ❤❤❤

how do you rewind the game so fast?? mine takes forever to jump to a middle-point in the game.

Hardly, scarcely and barely are negative words and should not be used with not or other negatives like in: I can't hardly believe it.

hi

20:35, when you noticed the first loss, banneling nest, and spine crawlers, also if you have lots of rss, a macor hatch un seeedd so yo ucan tranverse your drones across to another minign spot, can give you time, enough to make an army, Dark does this alot, since most huamns will not chase the drones as z and focus thehatchery and other things ,epecialyl if there was nevera direct engagemetn nad your drones go ot hte empty 4rth whic his really simpyl a back up third, and larvaproducer, and banneling nest if built when you were worried would allow you to set up a banneling bomb on the roaches. Since lings are fast you can move the roach ball to thedesired location, and most peopel don't build overseers, this requires burrow and bannelign nest... the simplist solution would of been 5 crawlers on the ramp side wher ethe push was coming but he could of moved else where, heance defence not always effective, your queens were not effective doing the ling wrap arounds, missing about 400 points of damage, which would been a fewroches damaged, Queens helping allow you to pick off red roaches easier, as thelongs take hte melee target. You were not in a winning spot or losing spot, but there is a methodlogy that we shoudl awlays take account. Some Zerg players, build cheap builds that areffective... Get 50-60 drones.. then hold the Roach key... and never stop producing.. The first encounter was greatm and the hatch loss, but not quite enough damage, typically to snow ball against zerg if you break their ball and rally points tothe point you push in and z trickles in, at a less effective rate.. Lings would be more effective taking out smaller clusters of roach as it nullies the ball range attack as melee is one v one, verse.. 10 extra roaches attacking and not being attacked..., another interesting thing is deballing units is super effective and its not discussed or used, but burrowing your units nad unburrowing them uneath an army during a surround is really effective, as it pushes out hte units and makes more surface area for your melee units, weakening the benefits of range ballings/clustering.. meh.

you needed 5000 IQ, luckily you have 6000 IQ.. unfortunately the IQ went towards sticking to the challenge and not transitioning out of lingfestors.

Where are the infested terrans

That first game was super clean. Your zerg play is getting pretty disgusting lol

bro talks like he would lose MORE games if he DIDNT restrict himself to 2 units

You complain too much at last game. The king infestor is the universe. So when lungs don’t work, infestors can. You arrived at the answer finally so all is good, but the uncertainty nearly killed the game. Gg. Wp!

OMG, that last game is painful, just transition to mutas against hellbats... wth... keeping with the lings forever...

I wonder how much better this god like player would be if he used hotkeys properly, at one point he had no hotkeys for units like a platinum player, gg.

Why didn't you just switch to roaches or hydralisks in the last game? Right after you destroyed his economy. Or even mutalisks.

*farts cutely*

that last game was super sad. the fact that he almost made a comeback shows how stupid being able to fly ur buildings away...
