the true miracle is how uthermal play pro level games and explained and talked to audience and entertain us at the same time, this is the true multi-tasking, WOW
Seriously. I just started watching him 2 weeks ago. At first I thought he was doing a recap/review of his own games. I don’t think there is anyone out there that can articulate quite like him and still play at top level.
Marine + Ghosts seems like a good composition, good drop potential with a mix of Nukes and Marine drive bys and Ghosts allow you to counter tech. I also think ravens should always be allowed if only at least for detection in fights.
I would love to see a “1-1-1” challenge where you rng which unit you can make from each production building Basically you can only make one unit type from each building and it’s randomly decided each game
Having marines to meatshield for the nuking ghost would probably be fun. I wanted him to do that in ghosts only, baiting a fight with his ghosts standing right over the nuke and timing it so thing left the radius just in time while the enemy units were still chasing.
22:03 Such killer instinct on this fight, you knew exactly what to do, the baneling snipes were so on point and then you just steamrolled the fight and charged forward doing so much damage! Incredible!
I suggest marine + Medivac + widowmines. The wms add potential for big plays but also potential for disaster if the shots get pulled into your marines. Double edge sword of sorts.
I believe Libs can be a great addition to Marines, they can cover them easily and help against tanks and other threats. Also Marines/Cyclones could be quite good I think ? (they can take care of units that are too far away or fast units such as Tanks, Sky units, Stalkers, etc). And lastly why not Ghosts/Marines ?
Your second game reminded me of Maru vs Trap game seven on lightshade from the GSL s1 2021. That was such a good series. Really enjoyed the reminder of that legendary comeback.
Can't beleive this is episode 20 already! Love all your challenges and vids keep rippen! Would love to see some sorta tank, turret vs diamond or platinum depending on how to think u can push that one haha
I'd like to see some liberators in there. I think it'd be funny to have the air units cover the ground units and the ground units defend the air units.
I was thinking a little, if you do SCV pulls to GM, you could always play around with attack priority. So say go in a choke, hold position workers and go rouge with marines or something xD
Hello Marc, love the content from bomb cloud to current. I would love to see Mass Marines (and Medivac) plus a special guess unit of your choice per game at a timing of your choosing. For the Finally or Mass Marines to GM Version 2.
Combat shield I believe only increases HP by 10. 45->55. But with stimpack it makes them go from 35->45 HP. Banelings deal exactly 35 damage. So marines are no longer one shot by them. And zerglings now take 9 attacks to kill instead of 7.
Yes, combat shields are a stim mitigation upgrade. But also +10 hp on a 45 hp unit with the unit density of marines is a lot of potential hp. 30 marines are now 300hp healthier
The BM Protoss' Name is "Schwein" which means "Pig" in German, so maybe the salt ist jsut a character :D nicely done again :) For the Marine addition Raven would defintely be spot on.
"Xoxlo" is Russian slur for Ukrainians (in this form - an adjective) written in Latin characters, so he is undoubtedly a Russian. Which is weird, for I don't think they have any official access to Battlenet.
@@jehovasabettor9080 we do. But for a man who plays on NE server combined German and Russian lang in name, he could be anyone. Even Ukrainian itself. Salt was juicy tho xD
I remember when you first started... I wanna say bongcloud? Or speedrun to GM where you mentioned how you're worried about your cast/analysis quality while in-game. Its really insane to see how far you've come in such a short span of time.
would love to see the hotkeys uThermal uses. Like in the only mouse video with the camera or with a digital overlay which hotkeys he uses. Would might help to improve my own gameplay :)
Ok I got you thermy: Try a bc + ravens + medivacs + mines + thors comp. But do it aiming for a macro game and bonus point for mix in 2 or 3 nukes in the game. If you pull it off, mad props!
Yes! Raven! Disable for tanks and Colossus, armor shred for things you should have marauders for. It would actually be a build. Cost inefficient, but has all the tools you need plus a gas sink unit.
For another challenge I would love to see you try a : Zerg cheeses to Grandmaster! These Bly matches are insane. Having your awesome commentaries while you would perform these sneaky hatcheries would be very entertaining!
I don't have a particular unit I want to see, I think all the suggestions are good, I would just love to see that video, still doing this challenge with a bit of extra utility thrown in is going be a great episode.
i think raven can help with tanks, colossus and creep. not sure how to deal with storm tho. ofc my preferred unit is always penguin viking. i know you like tanks. so 3 units to choose from edit: 1 Terran challenge and one rotating off-race?
the exodus 13:12 challenge: you have to sacrifice your firstborn, i.e. immediately move-command the first combat unit of each type across the map and let it die.
It's hard to say personally what would be a good edition to phase 2 of marine medivac. Tanks makes the most sense because it is classic SC1 terren backbone, Tanks and Marines all day. But I'd almost want to suggest ghosts, no nukes. I think the EMP's will just let marines melt colossus, the snipes will help with the chunkier and long ranged zerg units, and the ability to do some sneakier stealth based things. I feel like too that keeping the build bio is also more in line with the spirit of marines meds. Def second vote would be tanks though. Part of me would even love to see Hellbats for that classic marine firebat feel, but the point of phase 2 is also to make the build stronger to keep it going on the ladder.
Armour shred only ravens would be amazing. Still keeps marine only purity but also will make marines themselves better with less armour. Id say using ghosts against protoss and zerg for emp only would be awesome. Wouldnt mind seeing both armour shred and emp and see how far that makes the marines go.
For a new challenge, I propose "only all in attacks" meaning that you have to lift all of your buildings and move them towards the enemy's base whenever you attack it. Not required for "out in the open" combat.
Marauders, Tanks, and Ravens are good and all, but have you considered Marine/Medivac/Battlecruiser? :D. BC harass, one or two with the army to snipe Laser Giraffes or Tanks.
11:00 Marine is Range 5, Immortal is Range 6, so unless being in a bunker modifies range, the immortal should be able to bombard the bunker with impunity?
My first vote would be Marine + Raven would love to see 3-3 Marines on anti armored units. Plus disable can really help with Tank and colossus when are kind of broken against Marines. It is also a pretty good gas dump. my next vote would be Marine + Liberators.
It's detection and anti-armour could be so sick in the late game, considering how weak the normal build is in those areas. 3-3 Marines and ravens would be great.
Gotta be Raven. Detection and aa missile vs toss or mech is sorely needed already. I'd say only go for a Tank, when there's no other option to in anymore (without the Raven).
Possible next challenge? You have to build every unit, but have to work your way through, Barracks, Factory, Starport. Then back down, Starport, Factory Barracks. So you can only build a marine, a reaper, a maruder, a helion, a seige tank, a cyclone, a thor etc, then work backwards and forwards throughout the game
hoy thermy. Would something like "youtube/discord plays uthermal" be fun? Maybe have a vote every other minute which gives you an order on what to do next. Expand. Harass. Tech switch. Or. Have some kind of application that decides this for you, as the game progresses. Maybe by enabling certain things after x amount of time. So within the first 5 seconds, it might be something like "proxy x", "exp before rax", "double exp before rax" etc. After 4 minutes it could be something like "tech switch to x", "pull the boiz", etc etc :)
I want to see you play RocketMan where you can only make units that fire rockets. Marauders, Mines, Cyclones, Vikings, Banshees, Liberators (yes they fire lazers when sieged, but rockets unsieged so they're allowed!) and anything else I've forgotten. No bullets (guns), lazers, medivacs, battlecruisers, etc. I want to see you Rocket To GM!! 😄
Marine Medivac Marauder without siege tanks is probably a very old classic and I'd like to see it revived. Nothing spectacular or creative or whatever but yeah, I do still want to see a slightly improved version.
So for some Marine+ play... and I think "Marines plus" is a great thing to call it, I'd love to see... Marine+Thor vs terren Marine+Viking vs Protoss Marine+Hellbat(no hellions, only hellbats) vs Zerg.
Marine-Thor. Just for the fun of it, they pretty much counter everything that is great vs marines. If you wish, you can add a limitation, like only 5 thors max, or you can only use thors if you drop them with medivacs.
Honestly, any other unit will be Nice and sweet to see when played by you ! BC, Ghost, liberator on top of them, but anything will be a pleasure ! Thanks for all the tips, thé content, the show etc 👌
Please do mass reaper next as a challange with some anti air into play as well, maybe repair thors could be fun and lots of plays that could be done with the mass granades to cover the reapers, thors and scv's?

his commentary is better than every other youtube SC2 channel too
Lol, bronze, GM, world champion... no difference for him.
So gifted
@@youtubewatcher8858 you know its good when he says "guys"
Seriously. I just started watching him 2 weeks ago. At first I thought he was doing a recap/review of his own games.
I don’t think there is anyone out there that can articulate quite like him and still play at top level.
The Robo snipe was amazing.
So satisfying 😤
It was cancacerous.
Marine + Liberators as the special unit. Also, please do a quick mass-repear to GM series. That should only take what... 1-2 episodes?
Yes Liberators!
Marine + Lib, was my first thought! has to happen :)
Liberators would be fun. Multi-pronged harassment.
I was gonna say the same thing. Total ground control with total ground+air control.
The target fire on banelings to a rage quit was too satisfying
Marine + Ghosts seems like a good composition, good drop potential with a mix of Nukes and Marine drive bys and Ghosts allow you to counter tech. I also think ravens should always be allowed if only at least for detection in fights.
yeah raven should be always present.
I would love to see a “1-1-1” challenge where you rng which unit you can make from each production building
Basically you can only make one unit type from each building and it’s randomly decided each game
The most random teamcomp ever, i love it 😝👌
he's gonna roll battlecruiser thor ghost and he'll instantly die
Marine-Ghost sounds weird but I really miss the epic nukes 👀
I mean sniping lurkers, ultras, vipers and infestors probably feels even better when it lands.
Having marines to meatshield for the nuking ghost would probably be fun. I wanted him to do that in ghosts only, baiting a fight with his ghosts standing right over the nuke and timing it so thing left the radius just in time while the enemy units were still chasing.
22:03 Such killer instinct on this fight, you knew exactly what to do, the baneling snipes were so on point and then you just steamrolled the fight and charged forward doing so much damage! Incredible!
Thors ^^ have the bottom of the tech pool with the top of the tech pool! Plus they are like a papa marine 😂
Love this! Papa marine drops
Hey Marc, for the finale I'd love to see one game with: Mass Marines+ Marauder, and Mass Marines + Raven
I second Marine + Marauder. The 3M build: Marine Marauder Medivac.
Marine + Lib for terran to deal with tank pushes, Marine + Raven for Zerg to help deal with creep and Marine + Ghost for protoss for emu's and nukes
Really want to see Ravens in the build, please! Especially in a longer macro game.
I want to see a game with mass rine and ONE ghost w/ nukes! How many kills can he get???
That 1st player: "How dare you attack my base while I'm attacking your base"
That salt was legendary.
5:32 Could not have asked for a funnier start to the video. I'm crying lmao. That was too perfect, you beautiful psycho!
I demand a salt highlight video 🤗
i would love to see mass marine with battle cruisers
Oh no, the cinematics flashback where the marines are left to die by the battlecruiser.
Eh, that's kind of just meat and potatoes.
I recommend adding ravens for your spice. The things that seem to ruin your marine medivac are tanks and giraffes and ravens deal with those.
Definitely. Especially in the late game when the marine-medivac loses some of its potency.
I suggest marine + Medivac + widowmines. The wms add potential for big plays but also potential for disaster if the shots get pulled into your marines. Double edge sword of sorts.
I believe Libs can be a great addition to Marines, they can cover them easily and help against tanks and other threats. Also Marines/Cyclones could be quite good I think ? (they can take care of units that are too far away or fast units such as Tanks, Sky units, Stalkers, etc). And lastly why not Ghosts/Marines ?
uTherman, it is hilarious that the constant add I see on your videos is of Crack Barrel Cheese, with the slogan "Now this is cheese" xD
Was in the train home after work yesterday and saw someone watching your videos, gave me a big smile.
I can’t wait to see other faction challenges as well! Thanks for all the great content so far!
Your second game reminded me of Maru vs Trap game seven on lightshade from the GSL s1 2021. That was such a good series. Really enjoyed the reminder of that legendary comeback.
Vikings would be a sound addition. Deals with the colossus nicely and has a lot of potential.
Agreed
Can't beleive this is episode 20 already! Love all your challenges and vids keep rippen! Would love to see some sorta tank, turret vs diamond or platinum depending on how to think u can push that one haha
I'd like to see some liberators in there. I think it'd be funny to have the air units cover the ground units and the ground units defend the air units.
Marine Raven, Marine Banshee, and Marine Ghost sound like the most interesting units to modify it with to me.
i'm very curious to see you play protoss, i can't wait to see you play another race
23:09 how do you drop marines consecutively from multiple medivacs while they are moving?
Liberator and offensive Bunker together in one game for the additional units for Marine push.
Addition? against Zerg Ghost; against Protos Raven and against Terran Cyclones or Viking...
OR ... based on the early game scout ???
Epic content as always uThermal! =D
I was thinking a little, if you do SCV pulls to GM, you could always play around with attack priority. So say go in a choke, hold position workers and go rouge with marines or something xD
Ghosts for sure.
because they can counter some of the units that counter marines
They also share armor and weapon upgrades with marines.
Hello Marc, love the content from bomb cloud to current. I would love to see Mass Marines (and Medivac) plus a special guess unit of your choice per game at a timing of your choosing. For the Finally or Mass Marines to GM Version 2.
bong cloud, referring to ripping a hit off a pot bong and blowing out a cloud of smoke suggesting that you're stoned thus making a stupid play.
wait... I thought he was calling it *bong* cloud
Liberator + Marauder - or - Liberator + THOR.
You've done marines and ghosts many times. Libs and thor or mara would be super fun and unique!
Thank you for the salt mr protoss!
I kinda want to see you go all out. Marines as the main show but then bits of whatever you think is need to support them. Show their full prowess!
Combat shield I believe only increases HP by 10. 45->55.
But with stimpack it makes them go from 35->45 HP.
Banelings deal exactly 35 damage. So marines are no longer one shot by them.
And zerglings now take 9 attacks to kill instead of 7.
Yes, combat shields are a stim mitigation upgrade. But also +10 hp on a 45 hp unit with the unit density of marines is a lot of potential hp.
30 marines are now 300hp healthier
"Get cancerous subhuman"
Wow....even for broken ass English, that's some cold shit.. It's always surprising to me to see salt at such high levels.
The BM Protoss' Name is "Schwein" which means "Pig" in German, so maybe the salt ist jsut a character :D nicely done again :)

"Xoxlo" is Russian slur for Ukrainians (in this form - an adjective) written in Latin characters, so he is undoubtedly a Russian. Which is weird, for I don't think they have any official access to Battlenet.
Thats a completely weird combination then, but not any less surprising it is a salt person 😅
@@jehovasabettor9080 we do. But for a man who plays on NE server combined German and Russian lang in name, he could be anyone. Even Ukrainian itself.
Salt was juicy tho xD
@@n0nstrum not really weird - that's one of the main slurs used by the Z-mob;
I remember when you first started... I wanna say bongcloud? Or speedrun to GM where you mentioned how you're worried about your cast/analysis quality while in-game. Its really insane to see how far you've come in such a short span of time.
I've been curious, why is uThermal drawing pentagrams when queueing orders to his SCVs? :P
Another super entertaining upload, very nice tactics, cheers.
would love to see the hotkeys uThermal uses. Like in the only mouse video with the camera or with a digital overlay which hotkeys he uses. Would might help to improve my own gameplay :)
"Get cancacer subhuman" he typed through the tears streaming down his face 🤣
I vote Thor. Chunky anti-everything added to nimble marines is bound to get us great engagements.
The subhuman guy was hilarious and that timing was pretty tight. Gg
You are insane at this game. These units lost tabs are crazy in GM games.
At 19:15 was that a 200iq mind game read of the overlord as a distraction so the lings could come in?
Ok I got you thermy: Try a bc + ravens + medivacs + mines + thors comp. But do it aiming for a macro game and bonus point for mix in 2 or 3 nukes in the game. If you pull it off, mad props!
I honestly think mass marine, medevac and a raven would be super cool.
Yes! Raven! Disable for tanks and Colossus, armor shred for things you should have marauders for. It would actually be a build. Cost inefficient, but has all the tools you need plus a gas sink unit.
I'm mostly an SC2 spectator, but when I actually play my Terran, I always play Silly Goose strategies.
the special unit to cheer on MarineMedivac should be a troupe of dancing Marines
Last Game: so cool, last move on the corner and sniping the banes from the high ground, so cool
How do you drop marines and keep the medivac flying?
For another challenge I would love to see you try a : Zerg cheeses to Grandmaster!
These Bly matches are insane. Having your awesome commentaries while you would perform these sneaky hatcheries would be very entertaining!
That bailing picking was brutal what a bully! :o
Have been watching you for a while. One of the most genuine and helpful players of the game. Papa Starcraft
The invader challenge: Only expand to your Opponents bases
I don't have a particular unit I want to see, I think all the suggestions are good, I would just love to see that video, still doing this challenge with a bit of extra utility thrown in is going be a great episode.
i think raven can help with tanks, colossus and creep. not sure how to deal with storm tho. ofc my preferred unit is always penguin viking. i know you like tanks. so 3 units to choose from
edit: 1 Terran challenge and one rotating off-race?
I would suggest a battlemech challenge (mech + bc).. It would be a less restrictive one with lot of combinations potential and lot to learn.
No tanks, no infantry maybe
the exodus 13:12 challenge: you have to sacrifice your firstborn, i.e. immediately move-command the first combat unit of each type across the map and let it die.
It's hard to say personally what would be a good edition to phase 2 of marine medivac.

Id say using ghosts against protoss and zerg for emp only would be awesome. Wouldnt mind seeing both armour shred and emp and see how far that makes the marines go.
Because your star ports are busy making medivac and barracks is busy making marines, a factory unit makes sense. Cyclones would be fun.
Marine + Thor Little guy + Big Guy.

Sending tots and pears to Uthermal who now has canacer 😔
Marauders, Tanks, and Ravens are good and all, but have you considered Marine/Medivac/Battlecruiser? :D. BC harass, one or two with the army to snipe Laser Giraffes or Tanks.
How do you know so much about other players build ... Do you analyse all games you play in higher ranks? Or is there some tool/service you use?
11:00 Marine is Range 5, Immortal is Range 6, so unless being in a bunker modifies range, the immortal should be able to bombard the bunker with impunity?

It's detection and anti-armour could be so sick in the late game, considering how weak the normal build is in those areas. 3-3 Marines and ravens would be great.
Thought of a challenge that sounds fun! I call it "Rocket League!" Mauraders, cyclones, Vikings, banshee. And for fun throw in ghosts for nukes 😁
i like this idea
5:46 Comedy gold
Someone else mentioned a "Boxart to Grandmaster" where you can't have more than 5 of any unit at a time. Seems like a fun idea to me.
I don’t even know why, but I’d like to see Thors added in for one of the marine medivac finale games.
Gotta be Raven. Detection and aa missile vs toss or mech is sorely needed already. I'd say only go for a Tank, when there's no other option to in anymore (without the Raven).

Adding ghosts in the finale would be epic
I want to see you drop mules on tanks to draw their fires and marines will charge in to destroy them.
Let’s see reaper with marine medivac. Provides a zoning effect like the sentry and can allow you to split units for focus fire.
please do liberator with the marines. I feel it might help out with those pesky tank match ups
Can you do Mass Tanks with SCVs you’re allowed to build as much turrets as you want?
Ultimate Turtle Terran.
5:40 Why using stim on marines individually increases damage? I didnt get that part
Marines and banshees + cloak
that would be fun and exciting to watch
So for some Marine+ play... and I think "Marines plus" is a great thing to call it, I'd love to see...
Marine+Thor vs terren
Marine+Viking vs Protoss
Marine+Hellbat(no hellions, only hellbats) vs Zerg.
Marine-Thor. Just for the fun of it, they pretty much counter everything that is great vs marines. If you wish, you can add a limitation, like only 5 thors max, or you can only use thors if you drop them with medivacs.
Yes Thor drops
Honestly, any other unit will be Nice and sweet to see when played by you ! BC, Ghost, liberator on top of them, but anything will be a pleasure ! Thanks for all the tips, thé content, the show etc 👌
One extra unit - probe, please 🥺
Please do mass reaper next as a challange with some anti air into play as well, maybe repair thors could be fun and lots of plays that could be done with the mass granades to cover the reapers, thors and scv's?
Hello @uthermal, please try 7 rax all in; great series!
That would be great to try out for one game it fits the series!
