Flo Hides 14 Bases in One Game | Florencio Files  

He is my hero

f-ing zerg! Good job Florencio...grrrr 😀

haha thankfully he does send in losses as well so occasionally we get surprised and actually loses... often from winning positions :P

@@PiGstarcraft Oh yea, this wasn't a knock on flo sending wins (as we all would). I am actually just expecting him to break his opponents spirit from a 100 supply deficit at this point. Also: Great job at IEM Katowice, PiG! One of the best SC2 tournaments I've seen and what a storyline for Time / Oliveira.

ROFL the algorith is ahead of the game

And all I got was a little Ceasars "Delivery, Delivery!" Commercial...

BRUH ONLY GOOD YT AD

He has a certain set of skills… and lacks a bunch of them too. I couldn’t believe this game.

Exactly why I leave my brain in my pillow case while I'm awake. Its only good for funny dreams.

hahaha exactly the feeling of "oh gross wtf" the protoss had lol

It's basically like watching reality TV. You know it's absolute trash. You know there's better things to watch, but you watched it anyway. And now you hate yourself.

The objective is to make the opponent suffer

Florencio's form of Starcraft is pure weirdcraft. His games are completely different to just about anyone else's ladder experience lol

@@PiGstarcraft yes, and your commentary is the spice that makes it even better :D but seeing an oracle with turned off lasers die to a wandering queen after seeing uThermal kill 2 colosus with one medivac of marines is well, something different :D

​​@@Qrzychu92That is The whole point. Uthermal is fantastic (best) RU-vidr out there. But you dont want always watch high level play. Florencio games and series called 'Bronze league heroes' by WinterStarcraft are entertaining low level plays

You're going to have to be more specific....

The zerg virus truly is an incurable infection, ever lurking in endospores

haha i can't believe they mined out the entrance at the perfect time to escape - so ridiculous

That had to be the same feeling you get when you watch a video of someone smashing a spider and then thousands of tiny spiderlings scuttle out in every direction. No hope at that point

Protoss just uninstalled the game.

He did it to himself. He melted his own brain.

Florencio and his students from the School of Science are going to be the last line of defense between humanity and AI

He sees no upgrades as being like wearing weights in martial arts, so that when he takes them off (starts making upgrades) he will perform way more powerfully. I'm guessing since he's joined a team he wants his games outside of the league to keep being no-upgrades practice so that he'll stomp in tournament games.

Hehe, it is easy to say with all the information at hand and when not engaged into action. The dude misread the situation, he was so sure he won in the early midgame, the comment that remarked "What are we even doing?", the "we" is a "you", a polite "what the fuck are you doing? griefing? accept the defeat and leave". And when he started to realize the situation he wasn't prepared, adrenaline hit hard, I think stupified is a word for it. It is like you board a flyplane to go to vocation, and you land in a warzone, it would take a couple of hours to acclimatize mentally before your mind can digest the situation. His mind was simple overtaken by the situation and refused to process new information before the old have been sorted and catergorized.

@@washemoamadah4706 "Easy to say with all the information at hand..."? What more information was needed? - He killed all known bases of Florencio. - Florencio wasn't revealed => Flo built a new base somewhere else, probably near minerals. Two options: 1. You do a full, sequential sweep of the map. Advantage: Your army stays together. Problem: Flo can sneak a drone and re-expand, and you need to re-do the sweep. 2. You send a cheap unit to every possible location and keep it there. Advantages: - It's trivial to know which locations have bases on them, because the zealots are missing. - It's faster because it checks every base in parallel instead of sequentially. - It requires very few actions to do. - You gain map vision from all the units everywhere. Disadvantages: - Your zealots might get picked off by mutas. But they're not important right now, anyway, the Mutas can't be everywhere at once so there's still a good chance it works, and at least you know where the Mutas are at the moment. This is an easy, quickly-executed check. All it takes is basic scouting. He had all the information needed to make this call. You may call it simplistic, but it works. I've done this multiple times, I'd expect a Master to do the same (or better, since he's higher ranked than me). I wouldn't push for the execution of something I can't execute myself. It's clear he misread the situation, but, as you can see, my logic does not require that he read the situation correctly. Comparing SC2 to a warzone is pretty weird. I know what adrenaline does, and I accept that some concessions have to be made. Like the panic-F2 that pulled his Archons across the map and left the base undefended. I have no issue with things like that. Or the fact that he used his entire army instead of just the Collossi to clear the spines, possibly to be faster - a minor mistake considering the situation. But he sat around for 10 minutes doing nothing. Enough time to calm down a bit and find the solution. You're right. He was clearly unable to deal with the situation. My point is, he shouldn't have been so very stressed that basic concepts are no longer executed, or rather, even in his stressed state he should have been able to do this. There are some games where you cannot help but feel bad for Flo's victims - and there are those where I'd say "come on, you should have had this." This is one of the latter. But maybe you still disagree. I'd like to know - what should we be allowed to expect from players in such situations? Was this the best performance we can hope for? Are we not allowed to criticise players at all? I'd be interested to hear what you think. In any case, maybe we should learn from this and actively seek out these situations. Just start a base trade now and then, and let the dice fall where they may. Then we get better at dealing with these non-standard situations. And then we know how to deal with them.

I mean, they seem lower than my diamond 3 level

@@paulhorbenko9560 Kuyzz is 3404 MMR, D2, as Protoss on NA.

The problem with that is bad unit control. Every unit sent to scout was brought back by f2 or another group having that unit. Add the "melted brain" debuff on top of that and we get the result.

The Protoss is currently Diamond, highest ever was Masters.

@@pldl10 Wow doesn't look like diamond/masters level play. Thanks for the info

@@mystikast yeah florencio drags down players to his level. There's early episodes of his Protoss beating quite a few GM players, I think he even beat Neuro once

@@PiGstarcraft truly art for him to affect things like that, the neurons in his opponents brain began misfiring xD

Higher. Might be platinum.

they make ridiculous mistakes, but I bet against more normal opponents they play far better lol

Must have been hard as a child, what with being allergic to fun

Jesus clucky, that is the whole point :D
