    Uthermal, Harstem and Lowko are my three favorite sc2 content creators and i just love watching Uthermal cheese Harstem then coming over to Harstems channel and watch him wreck others with the very same build he got wrecked by and have nothing but nice things to say crediting Thermy with such a broken build.

    26:02 If only he knew that uThermal's build has only rough outline at the start and very quickly goes into improvisation and every game is different.
    The strength of every uThermal build is pushing the game into chaos state where no one knows how it's supposed to be played and he just wins as he has far more experience of playing in chaos.

      @@TheNeomare It's all about accessibility. The fact you CAN watch Harstem/Thermy is proof you don't need the full commentary from Lowko. A bunch of years ago when I wasn't familiar with the SC2 scene at ALL, no idea the units, the strats, nothing but the basics from when the game first came out, it wasn't possible for me to watch someone PLAY SC2, they were too fast, and it was almost nauseating. But over time I started watching a lot more playing vs casting, but Lowko is still always fun.

      Glad you found your way trough the difficulty. It is a fun game to watch. I really do admire the level at which some people can play it. Its much better for me than watching traditional sports.
      I guess I take for granted for how long I am in SC2 i feel like i understand it really well. Watched a lot of GSL and many many many youtubers and streamers playing it. I never really was into investing enough time to be and good at it though... did have some fun with a friend of mine for a while when wol came out though but nothing very high level.

    I think this originate from iA and silky's old build "rogafufuken" (yes, yamcha from dragon ball): two base ling flood, a fake attack on natural and a real drop into the main (back then drop can be researched by hatchery). That was a pure PvZ build which has caught so many protoss players out of guard, also resulted in the removal of hatchery droplord research :). And this evolving into a PvT (also PvZ maybe? lol) build with latest buffed hydra is a real nice touch by uthermal.

    Base trade from behind!
    We all know Kevin likes to do BGMWSS to try and explore new ideas for his serious gameplay. While many players know how to basetrade decently, most players don't have builds designed for basetrades, nor do they usually execute basetrades effeciently. In this episode, the captain should be behind, and make a come back victory with his basetrade. It's an excellent way to practice while entertaining the masses.

      phoenix early kill the droperlords and you can also suply block the zerg. also more phoenix counter less hydras with good micro. robo is only good if you manage to make phoenix colossus for some reason, or zerg makes roaches. but 2 bases zerg roach vs protoss 3 base anything looses most of the time, especially after investing in droperlords.
      the oracle killed less than the zerglings as oracles almost never become cost efficient killing workers. it is more of a utility unit.
      4 phoenix harass/scout after the 1 phoenix killed a droperlord should just win. if you scout a roach warren, a second stargate with one additional phoenix for queen kill and then void rays.
      this is a zerg cheese, as with almost any zerg cheese, the thing is that they are more broken than pre nerf cannon rushes, but they are beatable with a really specific response that requires tons of knowledge and preparation, which is why it feels unfair. but nobody cares because the top zergs and dark usually have to go macro against terran.
