The moment I started the video I immediately knew which game it was. Mark's response to the Planetary Fortress somehow living with 3, 2, and literally 1 HP left is just so excited that you can't stop smiling!
Me to. Smurfbald man.
that planetary had 1hp multiple times
Epic match
Greatest planetary fortress moment in history.
It do be like that sometimes showing how a great match would do.
One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen
I was going to say...look at it starting 4:58 😱 it's
The “uthermaaaaaaaaal” was such a perfect end lol
Not surprised to see the gg from a protoss tho
The opponent had a good sense of showmanship
Yea you know was the dude pictured himself shaking his fist in the air while screaming it as he typed that line before gg-ing out.
@@tabby7189 the oh no when the command center floats into his main is also gold
Watched all these on Thermy's channel, but still enjoyed your take on them. Love his content. He's fantastic. Keep covering him :)
Lowko got the top 3 best replays that I've seen from the entire series, and they were from each of the three races which is amazing.
When you said the other day "The planetary fortress rush doesn't really work against high level players" I knew you were going to be sent uThermal's plays. This is just an unreal player doing crazy things that don't work without the control he has!
Oh, it defiantly works, you can use it through the lower ranks effectively, and even in masters it works, you just need to be a grandmaster+ level player to pull it off against grandmaster level players.
To be fair, if he is playing against someone 2,000 mmr lower than him, it's not really "high level" for Uthermal.
On the first game the PF had 1 HP like two or three times!
I watched uThermal's high energy video on these games, but gladly rewatched them with Lowko's commentary ❣
Dark is insane at thinking while in the game. He recently played against a Toss (Maxpax?) that countercheesed him with Tempests. Dark build 2 Dropalords to juggle the queens that got targeted by the tempests until he had enough units to win. 5000iq
Yep, saw that the other day, it was freaking brilliant!
Yeah this game was cracked, every time I see the juggling I'm just astounded
Not maxpax because Toss make some flaw. Toss also try to rush sky in all 3 game which wont happen in super pro player
I highly suspect Dark has done that before and maybe even practiced it.
Was happy someone mentioned Uthermals challenge. Even happier to see you casting them as well. Watching his channel has been super fun. Hearing your excitement casting them was an awesome refresh as well. You both rock
Both you and uThermal's channels have been a real treat to watch.
I just wanna see more Widow Mine & Raven streaks. That and mass Battlecruisers!
This was so fun to watch, I was laughing aloud. I love at the very end when Urizen shouts in defeat almost like Captain Kirk did to Khan, lol.
That planetary spending a solid 5-6sec floating between 1-3hp was so insane and that "uthermaaaaaal" at the end was awesome
I have to admit it. The best SC2 content is made in The Netherlands. i also like other content creators, but Marc, Harstem and, specially, you are the Pinacle. The Holly Trinity. I've enjoyed these games for the second time and i would a third in an IODIS. I was loling like mad hearing "oh, no"... Love u, Lowko!!! Thnks for what you do!! And, btw, I know u read me!! xDDD
It was so fun to see uthermal's utter disbelief that his PF survived at 1 HP (multiple times) in the zerg game. It was such a wild moment. I highly recommend checking out his POV. So cool to see Lowko cast these games
Lowko is really checking his comments love u man hope to see lots more content
isn't he?? Such a nice guy...
exactly what i was thinking, commenting a Uthermal planetary rush, a man of culture🧐
I saw each of these games on uThermal's channel, and immediately hoped I'd be able to see the Lowko version of these games. Wish achieved! These were the 3 best games I saw, and they also happened to be against the 3 different races. Amazing.
13:42 "Urizen" is a demon lord and major enemy from the game _Devil May Cry V._ It's not his actual name though - rather, it's just what the main character introduced him as, and is really a pun on the words another character originally used to describe him (and some background lore): "He is _your reason._ "
Early on in the series before he reached masters mmr it was also often termed 'rush a cc for high ground vision' as the opponents often died before the planetery was finished or sometimes even before it started morphing and just hang up there giving vision
Haha for sure, I think he called it “planetary distraction to GM” lol
absolute mad f*cking lad lol. i love uthermal throwing everything out the window and being as unconventional as possible at lower mmr
"Oh no"
Thank you Lowko, especially after PiG did that absurd attack video against Marc. Man is single handedly reviving interest in the game for so many and thanks for giving him some good pub.
that was a clutch planetary save lol... really good laugh
omg lol that reaper hopping up only to be greeted by a hellion cannon ... priceless
Honestly my respect for uthermal is infinite the way he just casually climbs into high grandmaster with alot of very "special" builds while doing full real time commentary is insane absolute goat
The UThermalllllll at the end was hilarious !!!
oh, no.... xDDD he knew what was coming
Watched this on his channel, but with Lowko it is like the same meal but totally different spices and flavoring. Very nice!
This has been my favorite uthermal challenge series! I believe it’s still undefeated as well! So much fun to watch and hear his thinking as he builds it! Too good!
it was defeated in the last game of his last planetary rush vid :(
@@321Crispo fair enough! Either way best series he has done IMO lol
@@weldernick3750 ye for sure, its been fun watching him pulling it off vs grandmasters!
Got hooked on lowko and recently have been watching lots of thermy... Mostly I watch both almost daily. I thought I got skunked today with thermy taking a break when I found out what games lowko.was casting today... But lowko's commentary is worth it. Almost as good as marc's response to that PF at 1 hp.
AMAZING! Thank you Lowko!
The fact that Marc Reached 6k MMR using PF rushes only is quite insane tbh.
I was waiting for Lowko to cast this since the last "One of the games of all time" viewer submitted cast)
I found uThermal after pig did a reaction video about his 1 vs 7 insane ai content. I love it, and think y’all should be friends helping each other gain followers…. Plus this is an awesome cast of your twist on viewing his gameplay. It rocks, keep it up dude. 🙂
11:30 - "Another SCV is just about to spawn..."
...when you've been playing zerg for too long
Watched it on Thermy's side, and didn't think i'd enjoy watching lowko watch it. I was wrong lol. Watching Lowko watch uThermal cheese is pretty entertaining
Great to see uThermal's games here and listen to Lowko's comments! Thanks!
Great video Loko, havent finished yet, but i know it's a great video
5:06 The command center had *1* health.
Wonderful. thank you for this. i love uthermal.
i always loved grabbing the gas on the other team is a decent way to kinda scout a little while but it can throw ppl off
21:29 : good thing he has a pair
Uthermal is my favorite player to watch. Awesome 🤙🏼
Amazing both when uThermal played it and when you cast that first game!
his PF rush series is hilarious... as you said, it's mainly a mind fuck when someone flies a PF into your base. watching him terrorize other terrans with proxy hatch is also hilarious
That low-hp PF I just can’t 😂
I was waiting for this. He's trying to push boundaries & not only challenge himself, but also of possible viable plays depending on circumstances. All of humanity needs to, creatively & objectively, try to challenge ourselves more.
Ideally that’s genius cause CC doesn’t cost you supply you still can make it planetary and it’s damn tough to be killed. Even in late game could be consider as big pain in the ass so that’s marvellous.
I'm going to call them Johnny Barcodes from now on. It's perfect.
This was a good one
uThermal did a proxy ghosts build recently where he went for a barracks/tech lab inside MaxPax's main base, worth checking out
his builds are already legendary :)
Next time you should call them Barry the Barcode Player!
surprised PF distraction/blocking isnt a lot more common. Even throwing down multiples on/around a mineral patch to block a bane bust
I was waiting for this video.
5:03 the Command Center was literally at 1 hp.
Ut is amazing in his challenges.
Urizen is a constant victim of uthermals challenges so im not surprised they had some back and forth in the chat
The Protoss was such a good sport about it
I am INSPIRED. To not fly so high as to have my wings burned by the masters' sun.
Uthermallllllllllllllllllllll. Such a good sport.
These viewer-submitted games are getting way more skilled lately.
It's around 1 AM now here, and my sleepy head just read your thumbnail title as "Cheesing Grandmas" lol. Had to double take it before I get it right... I guess I really need to sleep now
lol That entire fortress survived thanks to just a single screw surely made the day xD
Urizen typing "oh no" when the command centre came into view was just priceless. I don't know if it was meant as an "Oh no, I just shat my pants." or an "Oh no, that's not gonna work buddy." either way, it made burst out laughing.
That's what I was thinking, but based on the end of the video, it might actually be "oh no, I'm playing against uthermal" xd
@@jerrywu9962 🤣 Exactly what crossed my mind when I got to the end. I think it dawned on him at that moment.
Yeah exactly, it's a "oh no I know what's coming, shieeeeet"
it would be epic if they added a mechanic where landing CC would crush any unit bellow, except big units like ultras colossus or thors.
I have been watching those on uThermal youtube and his live comentary to those was fantastic too. I recomend looking, he also have other fantastic challange runs like this one there. Penguins to GM was a nice salt mine If I remember right.
Now that I watch it from an observer perspective, rather than Marc's first person perspective, it's even more obvious the huge difference in skill levels. Makes sense why people are so mad at uthermal lol. But they don't get how hard the strategy is. It's a strategy game after all.
I think the main reasons these tactics work, is partly because of the element of surprised which causes a shock and awe effect. But more importantly, it disrupts the flow of gameplay that alot of pro players have. Because I feel like most pro players play the same plays with the same expectations of what they are gonna fight.
This gigachad Planetary rush is not only well done, but it causes so much chaos that even if it doesn't work. it ruins their thought process and basically pulls them out of their groove. Ive done this in other games where I can disrupt similarly skilled players with some silly nonsense that they cannot adapt to fast enough to defeat it. Some players are just better at the unconventional and very strange games than other players. And forcing enemies who are unable to adapt into those situations, even if they are technically sub optimal can do wonders.
12:12 I bet the tiktok version of this mule dance has nice jiggle physics.
I've been watching him lately. He's one of the best
This was a lot of fun. I watched some of the games that uThermal played, but it's a lot better to watch them with your commentary Lowko!
No disrespect to Lowko, and thanks for sharing, but go watch uThermals channel if you haven’t already. Seeing these first person with his excellent, always-constant commentary is best SC2 content on CZcams imo.
This is art
Way to follow in harstem's, shoes, Lowko. 😁
8:00 amazing
What impresses me the most with uThermal is hes able to commentate his games and play at 90/95% of of skills. I know when I open my month for any reason, I easily drop under 50%. Talking is brain taxing and it does not phase him much at all.
That planetary had the dog in it
finally, waited for Lowko to look at uThermal's games
As they say in the streets, "UTHERMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL"
uThermal FTW
Jeff, the green block is moving..
I wanna see more games where players take their opponents' pocket base on moondance.
Yes, that sounds like a lot of fun
I think building a factory jsut behind the frotress against zerg or something or around it... for gettign out tanks to siege with it... too the front lines nad jsut make an incredible tough choke point, since lal the so called maps are designed with mostly a weakness of choke points in whihc tanks and fortress units will excel at... if used in a isoaltion method.. .then jsut build more fortresses and air... and sensor network to keep them all corenred in... hmmm
That first game had me 💀
I probably would have gg'd out immediately after the scv repaired the 1 hp planetary.
dont tell harstem the protoss was once again the most mannered opponent
Hey, Lowko! Did you tried that new game that resemble Frostpunk?? Surviving the Abyss it's called. I was curious if it's worth it and if you played it.
that was fun, planetary early at base to cut off their supplies
2nd game unheralded should have build a factory on that tech lab of the blue terran
Uthermal is a fucking genius. goddamn,
Uthermal has his pov on his channel.
Watching games like this 1 makes me wanna buy a new pc so I could play again
WHAT! haha this was awesome!
The fact he hit 6K MMR with this build is amazing
Such a missed opportunity, Lowko. Why not "Ziggy Zerg" in the beginning?
I've gladly watched this a second time on this channel. Thermy also has some proxy hatchery videos you might be interested in. Maybe try some builds yourself?
Posting *anything* on social media be like: " Today, I'm ready to be proven wrong!"
Terran can just lift his buildings and resettle, if he became victim of cannonrush and evac route is open
Omg the first planetary had 1hp when that scv started repair
i dont play this AT ALL and u make it seem so fun, so i tried it out... went A.I vs me very easy.... i lost still fun watching ur videos
Ive been keeping up with uthermal and its more interesting when u commentate it
