      @jackmclane1826 2 года назад

      Google translate says it's Kirgisian (Spelling?) for "Yes sir!" or simpler "yes".
      No meaning in Russian. so it seems not to be Russian.

    • @IamKavot
      @IamKavot 2 года назад +29

      Man let me explain you. If you google "russian keyboard layout" you will see that russian keyboards has two alphabet letters for each button, russian and english one. You can switch between them any time but sometimes people forget to do it. For example sometimes you want to type "gg" in chat but with wrong layout you type "пп" instead. This time a guy wanted to type "stop" but he typed "ыещз" instead just because of russian layout turned on. So it shouldnt mean anything because it is just four random letters. Did i explain you well?

      @@greenlitlleman Google translate usually works really well. But when you just give it 4 random letters, it is pretty likely that it means something in one language simply by chance. Which happened here. Try it. I just tried 4 times and it returned something 3 times.
      I wouldn't trust it with a legal text, but it is usually better than the translations from chinese manuals and often enough the only way to read something. Because I don't speak many languages. Let alone all of them. ;)

    The year is 2025. All 200 spots of grandmaster are filled by uThermal's challenge accounts. All pro players have retired because uThermal has completed starcraft. The world's greatest scientists have worked together to create a cloning device so that uThermal could be cloned and play against himself. All tournaments now only consist of uThermal playing against himself with his self applied rules of each challenge. Even the elderly and sick tune in to watch so that their cancer is healed and they return to their youth. The energy crisis has also solved as it was found that uThermal's brain creates enough energy to meet the worlds energy demands. All hail our lord and savior uThermal

    Metal-league tips: Use scouting SCV to put a red spray (STOP sign? balloon?) in their bases, then drop nukes on it. Camouflages the red dot a bit.
    Another not-pro tip is to drop 2 nukes on the same spot from different angles, so when they kill one ghost they get careless

    Hey I notice at 16:29 you deselect your floating cc before setting the rally point of the main and natural bases to your 3rd's patch. Did you know that you can use "set rally point" (usually hotkeyed on Y) with them all selected to do so without move commanding the floating cc?

    • @uThermal
      @uThermal  2 года назад +7

      ​@@uThermal When I discovered it, I thought there was a chance that nobody knew about it, so I checked a bunch of streams and I think the only player that I found that used it was heromarine. So then it blew my mind that I had watched maybe 20+ hours of heromarine's stream but never noticed that he did that little trick lol.
      I completely get that habits are hard to break though, I've told some friends about it but I didn't expect them to do it because of the effort it takes to make it a habit for a small thing. If you want to see another trick that probably isn't worth doing, check my last video. You can actually make mules finish an extra trip.

Also, the EMP on a CC is so devastatingly delicious. We all want to see more nukes at the same time. How many could you get away with? I also don't think we would cry if you wanted a tank and liberator for defense if you're going for like 20 nukes at once :D good on ya

    Would suggest adding vikings. Especially LANDED vikings, just cause no one ever uses them and they are cool.
    But also, because it makes sense: they are good vs mechanical, what your snipes are not and can serve as air support for your spec op ghosts. (also, a good way to spend minerals)
    But it at least gives you:
    -vision (that doesn't give away your plans like scans do)
    -a way to counter stalkers, siege tanks, battle cruisers, and other floor bound mech stuff thst don't involve irradiation the land for the next 60 generations (even though thsts also hilarious)
    Also if you need to troll drop some landed vikings from medevacs

    • @asdfqwerty9241

      I doubt the matchmaking keeps track of things like that (it would be really bad if it did things like that, the matchmaking shouldn't be taking into account factors other than wins/losses otherwise it can potentially have biases for/against certain playstyles even if those playstyles aren't actually better at winning games), but I think what it *might* do is keep track of when someone is on a big winning streak to match them up with higher rated players than their actual rating to try to get them to a MMR where their win streaks stop faster. I think it's probably more likely to just be a fluke than anything though honestly.
