For the algo

Marc, your incredibly positive energy, limitless excitement, and flawless analysis *while playing at an extremely high level* is amazing to watch

Man that disrupter juke from the SCVs changed to kill the bio last second. One of your best plays ever

24:02 "where do people normally hotkey their proxy-nexus?" - Florencio doesn't use hotkeys, you silly goose...

The hatchery cheese in game 8 is probably the best single instance of trolling I have ever seen in SC2. Had me laughing my ass off.

Game 4: Viewer Discretion is Advised

Game 4 was an absolute masterclass in harrassment

Scamapotamus is going to have nightmares, poor guy.

Can't believe you gave Bly a taste of his own medicine 😂

This is what I'm talking about for content. Love the random! I was expecting you to cheese the last Zerg by playing a normal non-cheezy setup since you said ZvZ is always cheesy. "He will never expect my normal play" type cheese.

Well done to Scamapotamus for sticking it out that long.

3 no GGs and some salt, not bad out of 10. Thanks for the vid Mad Marc.

This is what I'm here for. The random cheese shenanigans.

My god, the proxy nexus game has gotten me perplexed

12:35 that 1hp prism

Time to lose 300 MMR trying to spine rush

Hour long episode?!? Frick Yeah! Thanks Thermy.

Your content is so positive and entertaining, big thumps up for the good times!

Great stuff as always. Your calm in the face of salt is legendary; idk how you do it, but it's lovely.

I really like seeing the cheeses against these high level opponents! Great video!

Seeing the last game was pretty insane. Timing wise, zerglings are sent, wall goes up, orchestrated chaos.

I have a new challenge for you. I hope you accept 😊 the challenge is to use swarm hosts as your only “spell caster” besides queens and overseers, while using some of these below tactics and anymore you can think of. Swarm host attack techniques? Thinking about swarm host as a specialized spell caster can be helpful. There spell is DPS, distraction, and a fairly modest amount of damage mitigation. You typically don’t get 12 spell casters unless they are ghosts. Sigh. They are typically thought of as siege units, but they are unique in this regard because the closer you are to the target the more damage can be done. The trick is getting close to targets that can’t fight back or are distracted. If you supplement an army with 4-6 SH this could really boost the DPS on a mid-high tier army. The typical multi pronged attack is always open too. I like to compare the Swarm host (SH) with the infestor. The SH has a 43 sec cooldown but if the infestor is completely out of energy it can’t do anything for roughly 1.5 minutes. Even if the infestor has enough energy for 2 casts, it isn’t worth anything unless the army is ready. But everyone says they are great additions to the army and Swarm hosts are left as larva. Strategy 1 scout sandwich In my opinion, having 4-6 Swarm Hosts burrowed off creep (to avoid detection) along the path of the enemy's advance could work well as scouts, thanks to their burrowed sight of 10. Once the enemy has moved past them, they could emerge from burrow or simply unleash their locusts to create a high damage per second ambush sandwich. However, I've rarely seen this strategy used in practice. Probably because it is 12-18 army supply, 400-600 min, and 300-450 gas. (2-3 infestor worth of gas and way more supply). This would provide a high DPS with a modest meat shield 400-600 HP it would also slow down the enemy’s retreat. While taking out or damaging the often expensive rear guard. Strategy 2 main base nydus. A major weakness of Terran is their production centralization. Step 1 In the mid-early late game get a nydus in the main production facility of the enemy and lay havoc with a group of point blank locusts and whatever else you want to bring. Just as a point of reference 6 SH make 12 locus that do 279 DPS for 18 seconds, that is like 4-5 seconds to destroy a barracks, the locus alone could take out 3-5 and whatever else you bring can speed it up. Step 2 Pop out a few more freshly made SH, from the nydus to fight the enemy that just came to shoe off the depleted swarm hosts heavy harassing force. Step 3 If that works hit ‘em again with the first group, then escape before most people respond with enough forces. Step 4 Don’t forget to attack a freshly mining base when the army is distracted with the above attack. Strategy 3 walk them in This is a bit of a high risk play but if one is doing multi pronged attacks and one didn’t want to invest in a nydus or to be more surprising, slow walking or dropper lord a small group of swarm hosts with some lings to take out workers and force a damaged lift off. If the opponent is taxed enough from other attacks 3 SH can add 140 DPS which is more than enough to take out a town hall. If they lift too soon studder step the locusts and take out all of the workers in a flash all while your SH are queued back home.

Talking and playing is like singing and running. You are doing way more and it becomes easy so when you don't talk your even better. Your a smart man.

Dude, game 8 had me spit my drink 😂 the ending 👌🙏

i have a good cheese for you. play a "normal game" against someone who knows you always cheese people. they will be an anxiety written mess

I played in a 1v1 tournament (in the game the ones that are automated) the other day as Random, rolled Protoss in every game but the Finals, and Toss is my main race. I felt dirty cuz it was just a cake walk then in the Finals I did double proxy Marauder & won lol Only my 3rd try (got the the finals before once too) to win a Trophy for the display flex in your base for the rest of the season. Love watching these cheese videos cuz it gives me ideas for games since I'm still in wood league 😀

This is amazing content. Well done

I hated that you had internet issues in the tournament. You’re the man. I haven’t even touched sc2 in years but I watch all your vids. GOAT RANDOM SC2 PLAYER

This kind of stuff is some of my favorite youtube content

Your videos are like how we played games when we were kids. On N64 looking for exploits and laughs.

After eating, the body diverts some blood to the stomach, which reduces blood supply to the brain, and depending on the contents of the lunch, additional energy might get diverted to manage glycemic load.

I can't believe you didn't show us that disruptor hit against your entire marine ball in the replay XD

when Marc says dont eat, then serves cheese for over an hour. the mind games are real! lol

What a great video again uThermal showing big wins and how thor drops can be held. :p

I'm enjoying these more chill videos

Always fun to see a spine rush pulled off. :)

17:00 - He's gonna make one step and be in to the world of pain! >:]

29:35 lol yeah you should be canceled for that game

19:30 funniest shit ever

28:37 nice unit - killing whole enemy army alone. disruptors should work like raven rocket, dealing 0 damage and only reducing the armor of units hit for this game to have a chance of being any balanced

amazing video idea, thank you very much :)

That was some gourmet mountain goat parmesan cheese shit

Thanks for the cheese plate! ^^

No GM has a chance against Marc, who crushed Serral like a bug..... with handicap:)

Thanks, love your videos

You know you're having fun when you have to remind yourself mid game that your goal is to win 😂

"DT blink seems pretty cool...no, no...I want to win these games." 😂

Go Mark, bringing fun to tournaments

Viktory vs "TheFinalBoss" in 8;08 that's funny to me for some reason

Hy Thermal! did you ever tryed a 2 gas/2 factory quick oppening with a 5:30 attack with tanks and double cyclons ? or can i send you some replays??

this thumbnail sent me across continents

Game #4, PvT was absolutely completely disgusting. One of your best games ever.

I think Uthermal is better off-race than terran nowadays haha

ah! the brutal game he actually said GG ... what a good guy - actually I would have been impressed too... at the awesome brutality 😆

YAY!!! New Uthermal content 😅😊

Some fine cheese as always:)

Is that tournament over? I was pretty sure it was semifinals when we left off.

All hail the algo as someone else stated, love the content.

I just heard that you are friends with Grubby! That's pretty cool!

with the Thor, could you drop them in a narrow area instead of in the open? Or... could they have an upgrade? I don't know... seems like a tough one. Wait... the 1st Thor was good(?) but then do all Hellions to attack the mineral line and then Thor again.

Game 4 is how I feel I would do against Uthermal!……wow that was a dirty game!

Is it mean to point out the irony of you only losing with Terran? Good video.

I can't believe you actually got that last game.

QoL change for the next patch - Thor builds in the good mode by default (high-impact payload). Alternatively, allow choosing the mode which it builds with, same as you can build directly hellbats instead of hellions and then transform them :)

uThermal's got his klompen on

Uthermal= the cheesing gentleman

Greatest thumbnail ever

Didnt you retire from professional sc2? How are you absolutely bodying these GM players on ladder 😂😂😂 what talent!

That sounds like a lot of cheese

Next series idea... 10 games, random race, absolutely NO cheese. Make sure your opponents know it is you, lol. Mind games.

You have 10 different cheeses and Lambo is beating you up

YES. More then an hour of thermieeeeeeee 🎉🎉🎉

Game 4 was a disgusting thing of cheesy beauty 😂 amazing

Algo! :D you are awesome pls keep it up

Scamapotamus got done dirtyyyyy

insane disruptor business

Winning with lingflood vs Bly the zerg cheese master, congrats!

uThermal god tier youtube

I thought strategy PvP games were longer than this lol

getting a good OHM is both really hard and effortless

You spoil us kids rotten

36:40 Why arent you pushing at the front with the marines? That would have easily changed everything instead of feeding your Thors for free in the back

GJ Thermy!

He is the chef boys

“kys” ahaha. It's like Harstem said, these people are paying for the mortage of content creators. Instant extra 10k views from that alone.

So much cheese 😮

The 1hp warp prism :)

Why don't you apply your cheeses in the qualifiers? Could it be that they don't work?

jesus game 4 was the most bullying ive ever seen in this game

That 4th game.. I feel unclean.

gg wp

Thanks!

GG

Would like to see you play the campaign missions, especially when you have no content to post

madman

pog

Funny how the only games lost were with the old race.... Guess it was a good switch to Random.

When are you going to gsl marc
