I cannot understand how you are dumb? Maybe too much drinky drink or just an idiot. I guess you don't understand how RUclips works for a start. You can have 100k subs... but not everyone watches a vid the streamer uploads. Maybe you are not realising how subs and views work on youtube. It is pretty much on any other platforms. Not everyone wakes up at the same time zone. People are well... Living all over the differernt parts of the world. Go have another drink and go to sleep and drink some water. maybe a few glasses of water.
To be a fly on the wall of that Protoss..... Walks to the right: 15 Thors, Walks to the left: 14 Thors, Walks down the middle: Another 12 Thors..... turns to look behind him and taps out before finding out if there are Thors waiting for his ass or not xD
Saw Neeb at DreamHack Austin years back. I don't wanna take credit for coming up with the "Neeeeeeeb!" chant but we definitely took that from Austin Hooper where the crowd would yell "Hooooooop" and it sounded like booing. Actually got to sit next to Mike Morheim the entire finals. One of the best days of my life 😊
The Zealot-Immortal effect is the same reason i also put Marines alongside the Thors, they do wonders for units with less than 16 HP or so, so the Thors do not waste their huge burst DPS on an already dead unit. Thors are there to laugh at Colossi, but you need a cleanup crew with high attack rate to ensure the trash is clear. As you saw, Hellbats do a good job at something similar, as the flamethrowers will really nicely clear away both Zealots and Zerglings. Also this is one of those games where investing in 4 or so cannons would do wonders against the Hellion harass, i have no idea why he kept his bases so open knowing very well you were lusting after his mineral lines, but noooo, lets warp in zealots AFTER he has already taken out 12 probes and reduced my economy by 50 minerals a second, lmao.
Imo that protoss player put 100% effort on pushing and pressuring since the beginning. Cannon rush, gateway harass, colossi to burn bio then immor-archon-zealot. He focused too much on the offensive that he just couldn't react to the helli boys roasting his workers. Truly shows us that a good defense is also a good offense et vice versa.
@@huynhphucm445 Like, every mineral counts in these games, but using 600 minerals on a new expansion to ensure the enemy needs to at least bring some anti-armor seems to be an investment people just don't consider. In the grandmasters where the players have perfect micro over workers and usually have decent map awareness, you can adapt by instead multitasking small defence forces ready intercept, but at the leagues below that, why you wouldn't spend some minerals to ensure you don't lose 8 workers + their potential income to 4 hellions or 8 Zerglings just goes beyond me.
@@Akrilloth indeed, like from the moment marc start to counter attack with some infantries, he should have begun to fortified his bases or blocked the ram to ensure the attrition battle. If you can't break a turtle terran, better prepare for a resource starving war than just keep throwing away the robo units and leave the income source open.
Just a note, and bear in mind I haven't watched SCII for like over a year until maybe today, but this guy's Cannon Rush seems a bit strange. There was only 1 cannon, and his base was quite well established by the time you've fended it off. I would suggest that this is a "false" cannon rush? He builds one tower and a tiny part of his main base in your base (gateways), and then produces army from there and fakes the cannon rush to make his opponents panic and respond to a cannon rush. Meanwhile, he's actually just playing a normal game back home and screwing with you with the few buildings he has. To defend a cannon rush your economy will just take a serious hit, and I think that's his overall plan to get ahead in the resource war at the beginning. If I'm right, then he's treating your base as an extension of his main base for army production while he pumps out probes and a new Nexus in his main base and natural. I wager this main base is mostly unguarded. Is it possible you could sneak some reapers in and counter fuck with him in this tight early game time limit?
18:45 Technically the new Sentry is like the Archon in that it no longer takes bonus damage from Hellbats or Tanks because it's not Light anymore nor is it Armored.
i used to during a cannon rush let them build the pylon. then just start building inside the zone. specially when he did his gates. wall it off so they spawn in the back and cant go anywhere. you can leave him space to place his buildings where you want them to be. also have you done the quick thor with a few scv following it for repairs? 1 thor rush? used to win that way so many times. super easy tvt tvz
He states the way he defends is a high risk high reward strategy, hence why he barely came out on top there. This is a GM level cannon rusher that uThermal himself said is a cut above the rest, and therefore his statement that "cannon rushers" (inferring the word "most" there, clearly) are not hard to defend. And also, baseline fact is, it is easy to defend. Unless the other player just has micro far above your own, you should win by just following common sense anti-cannon rush responses.
I was thinking.. Against a Thor + Hellbat combo for Protoss.. What if they use Immortal + Zealot + Adepts ? Sentry of course would also be a good one I feel. Honestly I have never faced this kind of build when I have played Protoss. ( I am a random player, admittedly I have not played in a very long time but I am thinking of coming back. Been watching your videos, same with WinterStarcraft and Harstem. Getting that itch to play the game again lol. )
I genuinely think Thor Banshee Hellbat Ghost can beat protoss army. The problem is if they go skytoss... The ghost can carpet bomb the archon and immo and make them very bad, you don't have the weakness of siege tanks to get run by or blinked on top. Or could use liberators instead of banshee but now that's so much gas.
Hehe Thors are great for low apm players like me. When I used to play my go to army vs zerg was marine medivac thor helbat. Vs protoss it was thor viking marine marauder medivac.
Hey Marc! Cheers for another nice episode! :) I asked in the past, would you consider to put back the original death animation with blood & drag doll physic? Instead the black magical death smoke? As it´s one of the best part for years, when watching your play & all the action that is happening! :) I dunno, it feels so empty & dull with out it & missing out sometimes, onto what disappears & what does not, sometimes? :/ A little bet less entertaining as well, as if some music or sound was missing out? Saying it out in a polite way! :)
Ok, I guessed you killed 257 workers. That guess might look way off, but if you consider the fact you threw most of yours away, it's kind of like you killed them also. Which makes my guess very close.😁
i dont get how you have 45k views with 130k subs while those with 3 times as many subs have 1/3 views.... the viewbots are so obvious
beep boop
Bloob. blib blib.

@@uThermal What a power move to pin this troll comment up like a dartboard.

4:30 as he found your hidden expansion you can bongcloud it and fly it to some other mineral patch :)
I love that I'm already laughing before seeing the video just by seeing the thumbnail
@uThermal you should do the Battlestar Galactica challenge. At 200 supply bring ALL the boys and all floating buildings
So say we all!

That early game was very BW-esque. Marines running around depots kiting zealots with SCV interference
That moment when you hit such a critical mass with the Thors, giving you such an good map control, was spectacular. Dear god.
20:50 I guess 198 booooooooo he leaves early boooooooooo lol
Ah such timing! My Mcdonald’s order just arrived.
Was the ice cream machine working?
gross
Marc Donald's
@@nicklindberg90we all know the answer to this question 😂
i’m literally at mcdonald’s waiting for my order
Love the "expand while being cannon rushed" side challenge 😁
What’s the biggest lie in the universe:
Uthermal 0:08 “I was just minding my own business playing the ladder…”
My worker kill guess was 125. Annoyed that your opponent didn’t let the Thors destroy things at the end. Fun game.
I guessed 129. I laughed so hard at the reveal. xD
I guessed 140 and already thought I would be way over. Insane. ^_^

Wow Jesus that workers killed I thought my estimate would be too high and I was off by almost 100
you werent kidding this game was a probeicide

It’s a great time to be a uthermal watcher these videos are fire
What a fun challenge game, so many thors that they blot out the map.
It takes GM-level micro to defend a GM-level cannon rush. Cannon rush still happens at the highest level of play
Ya kinda strange isn't it?@@chromaticBrainInjury
he said in the video that he was defending with a yolo strat rather than the easy way
He states the way he defends is a high risk high reward strategy, hence why he barely came out on top there.

I'd guess 120 workers. Unless it's Price is Right rules, then I say One Dollar.
Dude pulled a Rumbling type event™ from that anime thing

Hehe Thors are great for low apm players like me. When I used to play my go to army vs zerg was marine medivac thor helbat. Vs protoss it was thor viking marine marauder medivac.
Those poor, poor probes.
Holy crap I actually saw the observer before thermy called it out! By a second lol.
I literally guessed 170 no way!!!!
Hahahahaha
I said 117 workers. Had the right numbers just the wrong order. Dang!
Thats my everyday strategy. Silver stronk 💪
Love how you can make anything work. The only thing left is to get to GM by using SCVs only lol😂
Those hellion kills were so satisfying
Amazing analysis.
(edit): I figured 150 workers killed.
For a GM Protoss,
Dude couldn't even protect his Worker Lines 🤦🏻♂️
yo i guessed 160 kills. nice, awesome game :3

PROTOSS BUILD AIR ARMY MAY BE A MUCH DRAMATIC RESULTS
Nice one!!
Cannon Rush is totally bent, but a legit strategy.
What matters is whose name is on the victory screen.
imagine transitioning into air from this
UThermal vs boanan? Let's go.
Can't wait until battle aces, then we are going to see 48 monobattle video's🤣
7:31 Neeb is a North Korean Protoss?! :O
My prediction was 160 probes killed.
Lol 171 workers, that is insane. I guessed 73
dude i guessed 175 workers killed
It’s colossi, I know for us Europeans colossus is colossus regardless how many 😂
171 probes killed!!??? I guessed 53.
Brilliant!
I’m guessing 175 probes….
I was only 4 off!
well done
Why didnt you start your amor 3 upgrade?
I guessed 178 workers were killed. I was pretty close!
my guess at probe death count: more than thors buit :)
Probably 150ish
This is epic
I guessed 200 probe deaths. So...decently close (off by 15% or so).
This will be MAD
I'm more amazed at the probe deaths....
nice vid
Made cannon rusher work and he still lost😢. Evil
Ok, I guessed you killed 257 workers. That guess might look way off, but if you consider the fact you threw most of yours away, it's kind of like you killed them also. Which makes my guess very close.😁
my bet was 175 probes. I was THAT CLOSE, dang it.
Dayum I didn't wanna over guess too hard so l said 87 probes lol I was wayyyyyy off
Fratz, off by 1, my guess was 172...
I find it very difficult to defend cannon rush into dt rush
I guessed 163, pretty close!
I'm going to guess you killed 171 probes.
Gosh now I'm hungry..
Loki will not be pleased...
I Loki kinda like that joke. :p
i had guessed 161 lol
Guess: 200 probes
Update: I wasn't too far off
thors beat immortals one on one, mass thors vs mass immortals immortals
wholesome
I guessed 175 workers haha
just 3 ghosts... made it a lot easier ^^
Why would you lead him to your hidden base? Just make workers from that base
300 workers? :D
You didn't win it with thors but with that few helions harrasing mineral lines. xd
I guessed 220 workers.
My guess was 174 probes!
I'm guessing 137 dead workers
Okay wow nvm
Guessing 236 probes
27 x 6 = 162 supply of thors
Jaja que buena partida
146 probes lost, is my guess
200 probes!
I went with 175 workers killed. xD
I guessed 147 darn
I guess 560 probes killed lmao
no im serious
😅172 was my guess OMG
127 probes is my guess
I guessed 131 workers
180 was my guess
my guess was 163 workers 😫
119 - my guess
240 probes is my guess
I guessed 147 😭
228 workers guess
it was 267, not such a bad guess!
