For future Zerg games, I'd love to see you make use of contaminate to delay some crucial defensive units from your opponents, like contaminating a factory making tanks.
Mass Overseer to GM is a challenge I'd get behind. Imagine the memes when 50 overseers fly in and constantly contaminate every production structure until they rage quit xD
Would love to see some overlord creep spread cheese-crafting. Surely there's a way to use it to set down offensive spinecrawlers in unexpected ways? Or hiding rushed tech?
I spine rushed by rushing lair. There's very little warning time for the opponent since they have to deal with only spine crawler build time rather than hatchery
It was really convenient to have intro and outro clip! Recognizable, tunes you into the video and most important gives a few seconds to adjust before/after. Would be glad to have such back!
I don't care which race you play, just keep being funny and engaging. Watching you play Zerg feels like watching someone learn to play and do super good. Inspiring me to try cheesy strategies
Reynor is a Zerg-Terran. You my friend, is as what you just described it, a Terran-Zerg. 😂😂😂 Watching you play is just pure fun. Heck, I just restarted playing Star Craft this year since Brood War, which is somewhat a similar game but very different as a whole. From Bronze to Diamond in a few months. Still need to work on my micro though, but watching you do macro has really been a big level up for me. Thanks Marc! ❤
Been aged I've stopped playing StarCraft 2, but damn I can't stop enjoying watching your sick Hydralisk plays. That's insane how much they got buffed. Great games!
I like to see all the races the variety is better. I can't wait for you to start doing more unit style challenges on the zerg and protoss and also I can't wait for the random cheese or random proxy planetary/hatch/nexus to GM.
I DID NOT EXPECT HYDRAS TO BE THIS GOOD, thanks uthermal for the content, I have a basketbal match for the intramurals and I am a young sc2 player! wish me luck :)
In sc1, I used ot use burrow with my hydra-lines, and burrow my front line and step forward, adn then unburrow them later when they are re positioned. Kind of like gophers, and its really easy... Hydras typically had enough health to easily do this.
the reason for the scv scout was purely hatch timing. Knowing how far it is along that early shows whether it is a 12 pool or not. Unlike the other races zerg really only have 2 possible starts: pool or hatch first. Or in theory proxy hatch first
If you go two base, zerg, macro hatch, after first production is really good idea..., on the secadary ramp it allows a defensive ramp hatchery, to easily use a building to then block it off.
Those hydra are just super good and have a ton of micro potential. You really should try and remember their 1/1 it's almost as important as it is for marines.
Terran Challenge Idea: Rockets to GM, you can only use units that use rockets to attack (Vikings, Banshees, Cyclones and Marauders I think?). Idk if it's too easy/hard but I like sc2 rocket animations so i think itd be fun
Wow! What a play! I was sure this is not possible to fight with hydras against zerg, but even more unexpected - against terran. I think, if I would be this terran, I would suspect I opted in to some alpha patch version by mistake!
It actually didn't change in stats. Just cheaper to upgrade and get on line faster. Timing attack shenanigans only reason we are seeing them other than air support late game to save on Queens/supply.
Vote for some Random challenges now that you’ve been playing so much with every race!! Random cheese/proxy to GM would rule for example. Or Random Cloaked/Burrowed to GM could work too!
I played sc2 yesterday after a while, and I don't know how people can do so much at the same time. I can barely get a couple of units before being destroyed.
Hydra is so good rn!!!! Got to D2 with it. After I saw you mess around with it right after the patch dropped something clicked for me. “Play to the strengths of the patch DUH!!!”
Inj Z verse z, if you plan suc ha rush, pre scatter your overlords, and when you are about to rush make creep... and can run across the map faster... wit hqueen walks also.
Hmmm i was wondering. As a non starcaft player but rts enjoyer. Why in every map there is never a two ramp opening second base? I think a map like that wolud shake the meta quite a bit. Edit: or a lowground starting spawn but highground second base.
It would be too easy to rush the second with Zerglings. Both Protoss and Terran need to be able to wall off the second relatively fast (3 or even 2 buildings) or they will just be flooded. Even Zerg can be Zergling rushed.
@@enriquegarciacota3914 yeah, so? I mean, it's just a cheese like any others, if you want to ling flood so do it, if you want to gamble your game within 5 minute of the start so be it, what if when you rush the second with 20 zerglings you find 2 marine a two wallofs on each side? I think thst simply having more options would be good for the game in general, instead of standardizing every map making it the same map woth diffrrent skin, having, for example, a map that might favor aerial combat/ movement drop style play vs the usual mass blob of bio moving around could be a breath of fresh air. Having different builds for different maps that needs different approaches, would add diversity to a stale meta don't you think?
@@davidetosi2391 I like variety, but I think what you are proposing is the opposite. I am a zerg main. It would be very boring for me to fight on such a map. I would 100% ling flood on it every single time. It would be similarly boring for my opponents. They would most likely lose to the initial flood, and if they don't they would win. It would also be very boring for people watching any matches on that map. The map would be blocked by everyone pretty much immediately. I am for having more options, but they need to be good.
I prefer, brood lords against terran as soon as possible, so I cna possibly go back into ling bane when ghosts come out, and it makes infesters al ittle more value.. but brood lords, just so good against marines and tanks.... but i haven't played since any patches, or well a several months.
Contaminate cost should be lowered. I know they are afraid of mass overseer. But then remove energy and put it on a shorter cooldown. It would be a more indirect form of harassment.
The energy is also needed for the changelings though. I do think that being able to spawn two from the same overseer (provided enough energy is available) is very nice
For future Zerg games, I'd love to see you make use of contaminate to delay some crucial defensive units from your opponents, like contaminating a factory making tanks.
Mass Overseer to GM is a challenge I'd get behind. Imagine the memes when 50 overseers fly in and constantly contaminate every production structure until they rage quit xD
Proxy hatch to contain followed by overseers contaminating would be wild
Yes!! I too have been asking for this! Contamination is not used much in pro games.
Or medevacs , Thors, any flying unit. A contaminate cheese would be sick
@@____GoMeZ____ Dear god... I just imagined that
I really like to see the 3 races. it makes more content and you never know if the next video is going to be zerg protoss or terran
Random cheese to gm would be fun. Or a random proxy base to gm.
When uThermal starts Contaminating his enemies to delay tanks or vikings or colossus is the day his cheese will be limitless.
force the opponent to float minerals by contaminating all of their production buildings.
Would love to see some overlord creep spread cheese-crafting. Surely there's a way to use it to set down offensive spinecrawlers in unexpected ways? Or hiding rushed tech?
Check out his proxy hatch to GM series, has a lot of creep shenanigans.
I spine rushed by rushing lair. There's very little warning time for the opponent since they have to deal with only spine crawler build time rather than hatchery
This *channel* is so good 🤜🤛
You're a treasure. Keep being you, and thank you.

“Imagine if I could have stim”
You can still drop creep with the dropper lord and get a speed boost! Also bring a queen or 2
I thought he meant imagine I could destroy the add on upgrading stim research before it finishes
he def meant canceling the stim being researched at that tech lab, but my thought went to the same thing lol stimmed hydras lasjdvlawnvm

The picture becomes more and more clear, Uthermal is... Kerrigan... the Terran that emerged to save the zerg in difficult times!
Great vid! Thanks again for hanging 👊
Been aged I've stopped playing StarCraft 2, but damn I can't stop enjoying watching your sick Hydralisk plays. That's insane how much they got buffed. Great games!
When playing hydra drops against other zerg you could include a few queens in the drop just for memes
Looks like there's about to be a Hydralisk to GM series coming...
these videos are so fun to watch. I'm gonna get into SC2 tomorrow. Wish me luck
Subbed! I loved your format and hilarious tone during intense gameplay. Love the nuke drops.
The last map, beautiful work by the makers of it 😊
@23:27 You killed it with the queen :)
"somehow get it up on two bases" :O Marc you dirty man!

"if my opponent plays just widow mines, i think he should just die." i laughed so hard lmao

top tier content, the way you explain everything makes it so enjoyable!
If you go two base, zerg, macro hatch, after first production is really good idea..., on the secadary ramp it allows a defensive ramp hatchery, to easily use a building to then block it off.
What is that visual artifact at 6:18?? Oh never mind, it's a planet in the background.
Those hydra are just super good and have a ton of micro potential. You really should try and remember their 1/1 it's almost as important as it is for marines.
Nobody expects the Hydra Inquisition!
Terran Challenge Idea: Rockets to GM, you can only use units that use rockets to attack (Vikings, Banshees, Cyclones and Marauders I think?). Idk if it's too easy/hard but I like sc2 rocket animations so i think itd be fun
On the first map, you can bring an additional overlord to drop creep for the evo wall
You should do creep drops in random locations
"A decent amount of sense" - Uthermal
The coloring of the third map is awesome.
Wow! What a play! I was sure this is not possible to fight with hydras against zerg, but even more unexpected - against terran. I think, if I would be this terran, I would suspect I opted in to some alpha patch version by mistake!
I've been trying to get back into SC2 but I can't seem to figure out how to play the most current game
”Terran Zerg player” sounds terrifying 😅
LOL "I am such a Terran Zerg Player". This made me actually laugh out loud cause it's so true! Nj Marc!
I love that hydras are viable again in SC2. It was sad that such an iconic unit was so bad for so long.
It actually didn't change in stats. Just cheaper to upgrade and get on line faster. Timing attack shenanigans only reason we are seeing them other than air support late game to save on Queens/supply.
I think having the spine crawler hard wall against hellions would help you hold those early attacks, though you do hold it pretty well already
Hey marc, drop on the production while using contaminate.
Maybe use a nydus for retreat? Or pop between bases.
Hydralisks? We making it to Brood War with this one!
I really miss the days when single player custom game melees were a thing.
Bro is actually Stukov (the infested Terran commander)
Vote for some Random challenges now that you’ve been playing so much with every race!! Random cheese/proxy to GM would rule for example. Or Random Cloaked/Burrowed to GM could work too!
How long before one of these games, will make it into Harstems IODIS?
The second game was just disgusting - damn near disrespectful with that hydra micro holy
A DAY WITHOUT A THERMY IS A SAD DAY INDEED!! Gotta LOVE this cheese 🧀 lololol
What was he going to do with the dropped drones (evos?) in the first game?
Make walls behind the mineral line so that the other zerg's lings couldn't get to the hydras
Your Zerg is my favourite for sure.
loved that terran gameplay! O.o
Pro. I am a noob, but love playing this game. Thank you for the videos. Costa Rica here!
I would like to see a Bongcloud cheese with the first map, please!
What's his build order for hydra s?
Don’t ask where do Zerg get the milk for all that cheese. Thanks Uthermal!
I really like watching you play Protos and Zerg.
if i hear thermy voicecracking out of pure joy my heart is rising up into the sky like a proud eagle :)
"I am a Terran Zerg player" - uThermal 2023 🤣
So when is zerg drops to gm coming?
I played sc2 yesterday after a while, and I don't know how people can do so much at the same time. I can barely get a couple of units before being destroyed.
Man it's fun to watch these games.
Hydra is so good rn!!!! Got to D2 with it. After I saw you mess around with it right after the patch dropped something clicked for me. “Play to the strengths of the patch DUH!!!”
Overseers to gm would be insane
Hydras feel like hydras!

Go watch the video posted before this one, of his tournament qualifier play. One of those maps has a two ramp second base

Been watching Sc2 content lately. Just noticed, why don't people use the unit skins?
Hi Thermy! You make the game look good! 💪🏼
StarCraft speaks for itself.
Love me some Zerg games

lets go chalenge "Infested probe or SCV -- zerg-teran or zerg-protos"
to rank 1!? Godspeed!
a Terran-zerg player... Stetmann want's to know your location.
I don't main zerg but it's nice to see them get upgrades, they have been laughably easy to beat vs pvp or pvt at the same mmr
OMG 🤣 you did terran to terran!
Next gen tactics
12:43 Hydras do NOT take extra damage from hellbats. They only do light bonus with blue flame.
could ultralisk drops work? or is that just wishful thinking
damn thats some fraction of Micro Jackson right there!
What's the title mean? Is the old hydralisk bad? What's the difference, I'm pretty new to this game
Contaminate cost should be lowered. I know they are afraid of mass overseer. But then remove energy and put it on a shorter cooldown. It would be a more indirect form of harassment.
The energy is also needed for the changelings though. I do think that being able to spawn two from the same overseer (provided enough energy is available) is very nice
Nice showcase of hydra vs Terran and zerg
Creep Tumors placed in all 3 games: 3
These new maps are pretty awesome.
Should have brought a queen to creep spread for the flex
does uthermal suck at remembering to spread creep, or is it just not that important?
(not that it matters since he's god tier at everything else :) )
Mass ling rush 1 refinery only, end in 8 minutes
Hydra drops are CRAZY
The chess speaks for itself
youre crazy bro love it
Enjoyed this
Those drops look devastating, I wouldn’t be able to deal with it as a gold Protoss 😅
Using the hydras like a ball of marines lol :D Soooo Terran :D :D
Okay... the marine/medivac drop skills being used as a Zerg player. God help us all
i personally love the thermy zerg
..add a queen to the drops ?
Hydra my all time favourite unit!
If a zerg walls off its always 2 base muta
