Flo pulls off 69 IQ defense after BAITING all-in | Florencio Files

[@Florenciosc2]

I'm always grateful to have an opportunity to share my strategies and adventures with everyone who enjoys "The Florenico FIles". I have some new builds to share soon. I'm learning mechanics to create more complex cheese plays and I'm sure you'll enjoy. Cheers everyone!

That's it.. I've watched all of the Florencio Files. Took me about 5 months. What do I even do now?.. Ruturn to Starcraft? Thank you two for the great content! It was the best five-month trip through the sewers in my life! ☺

[@Florenciosc2]

Glad you enjoy the show. More to come. I'm almost master random.

Haha the classic Flo Files Binge. Make sure you sub to his channel as well - that's the real Flo that responded :)

Florencio's strategies are like flipping dirty underwear inside out and wearing it again.

[@BaufenBeast]

Nicholosso only ever had 2 mining bases at once, but apparently decided it wasn't worth the effort to see if either of them was being nuked.

[@PiGstarcraft]

I know the Zerg tunnel vision too well, been there so many times haha

[@badtiming2208]

That explains the 40 drone soft cap the whole game lol.

[@dresdenmini8586]

First of all, FLORENCIOOOOOOOOOOO! Yeah! More florencio files! When my brain broke: I was playing low plat, and my opponent was rushing bcs. I had defended his first bc well, losing a 3 probes and forcing him to retreat. However, he trickled these bcs in, and I was confused, thinking, “What on earth is he doing?” By this time, I had several tempests, stalkers, and a mothership, and headbutted into turret planetary, lost my army, and left the game.

[@PiGstarcraft]

we've all been there

[@mikkosaarinen3225]

The thing that really tells you how comprehensively playing against Flo demolishes your brain is that Nicholosso morphed one overseer until minute 40 in a game with mass nukes 😂 My personal falling apart usually happens in the classic way you mentioned where I get my economy damaged and instead of rebuilding all I can think of for the next ten minutes is building army and attacking 😄

[@RajItToMe]

"Logic and macro cannot escape the cheese horizon" Loved it! This needs to become a themed t-shirt!

[@WonderingWanderer88]

Flo's face with his Nexus hat, in the middle of a Blackhole, with some representation of cheese (cannons, nukes, bunkers, etc) falling into it. And that quote from PiG. I'd surely buy that T-Shirt! ;)

[@2bitgypsy]

If I imagine Flo having two computers set up side by side and he is playing against himself, these games make complete sense.

[@narmale]

😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@onewanderingbee]

Florencio does not drag people down into the sewers. He slowly, agonizingly, painfully convinces them to enter of their own accord.

[@PiGstarcraft]

LOL

[@mackwinston816]

Honestly, being in diamond - some times you wonder how your opponent got out of bronze, and sometimes you wonder how YOU got out of bronze. I know exactly how the zerg feels because it's happened to me.

[@bencheevers6693]

I'm like Pig where I can't fathom how Flo is still so bad but it's like Pig said, he needs to make it so that at any point, if the opponent would just get out of their rage they could easily win which makes it so much better

This game has it all- ebay block, proxy, nukes, BCs, banebusts, planetary clutch defenses, you name it

[@rodgersmith6593]

Real deal Florencio gives advice and takes advice. It’s been years but he worked with me through KZbin comments to improve a 3rax reaper build, where the second and third barracks were proxied at the third and fourth. It’s easy to make a ninja base with reaper pressure. Needing anti air lead to grabbing an eBay early on. It’s crazy to see how this all lead to floating a planetary into your opponent’s main and defending it with reapers. I’m gonna have to hop back on SC and proxy some cattlebruisers.

[@zandiskoul]

I really wonder "why" so much watching you cast replays too. It is amazing. People getting their brains broke by the legend... lmao, what a good time.

Watching the zerg side minimap at 18:52 is extremely satisfying haha.

how the heck did Nicholosso avoid the rage to enter the Salt Mines. i would have lost my ever loving mind lmao

[@FortuneHunters]

Brain so broken to even form cohesive sentences.

[@turkleton9113]

Amazing flo cast as always. My brain broke playing EverQuest when I was 9 years old and I somehow ran my very underleveled monk into the The Overthere and died. I had a full breakdown, crying and begging my brother to pay someone to go do a corpse run for me. Good times!

[@PiGstarcraft]

omg haha that is so relatable

[@Volkaer]

28:30 - Watched him play this game - he didn't look away, his only orbital was in the air floating around and he had to find a place for it to land XD The game was a beautiful masterpiece of zerg torture basically.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

That was entertaining for 30 minutes, but that's enough for me. Thanks for the cast Pig!

[@firedylan]

absolutely incredible game and commentary

[@kevinkottom1526]

A hell of a game, man, thanks!

[@lupusprobitas]

We have talked about Florencio's recall addiction before, maybe it's time we took a look at the way he has started double-dosing his nukes... it can't be healthy. ;-)

[@PiGstarcraft]

haha true that. Give this man a BOOM button and he spams that thing :D

[@aussj4link214]

Watched a game of his the other day where he Thor rushed and it was amazingly effective. He didn't seem bad at the game at all.

[@Oktokolo]

I really don't know how he's doing it, but he's always playing just that tiny bit above his enemy's level. The real superpower here is that he somehow knows how low he can go.

[@hanshubert6675]

just recently played against the most elaborate turtle terran strat i have encountered yet (plat2). completely bamboozled me with a combination of mass raven harass and half a dozen bcs that were doing 200 iq double warp expansion sniping. while playing my mind was absoloutely fried and i had no idea how he could fly his bcs undetected past my defenses just to immediately warp away when my vikings arrived. although he was practically on one base and i had all the map i could not for the life of me break into his turtle encampment with 200 supply. we traded ressources almost three to one and i was almost leaving the game in frustration but after something short of an hour of mental breakdown i finally got his last bcs and he left.

[@meandmyself1600]

28:28 kinda cute how the drones burrow but can't fit the gas/minerals in their hole, so it sticks out

[@earthbind83]

33:40 I'd wager that he didn't actually see the red dot but just started to randomly A-move that army somewhere just to increase the chance to catch the ghost in time. If he had seen that dot that quickly he could've killed the ghost instead.

[@ronsongathus9634]

I just realized after so many years, Flo's macro is dogshit... he never tries hard to get ahead, instead, tries very hard to drag his opponent down to the sewer with him... No wonder Sewer Mermaid is fcking brilliant title for the legend himself.

[@TripWithTheMoon]

This guy Nicholosso just rage immune. 36 Moments I would have left that game ...

lol I'm sorry for Nicholoso, but this game was 45 min about Florencio playing with his food until he got bored. He let himself in bad economy to let the other a chance and made it challenge but he was doing whatever looked fun to him and had control of the game most of the time. Florencio could have won the game like at half the time if he wanted to.

hahaha around 19:50 - 20:00 ish when you said "starvin' marvin" --- i used to know a pot supplier decades ago when me and my best brother from another mother were skateboarders that was his nickname lmao. sadly i can't smoke ze ole hippy lettuce anymore cuz it's just too damn strong these days. unless it's pure indica strain, then it doesn't give me panic attacks/anxiety/paranoia/etc. if its 100% indica, all it does it make me happy, relaxed, couch locked, then i eat and sleep. impossible to get mad on indica lol if only the world's governments would stop this "war on drugs" because it is beyond corrupt. there's leaked files proving the US government flying HARDCORE drugs into the US on military planes as early as the 90s and 2000s, and then arresting people who get addicted to it. but i think something is brewing on the US-Mexico border on account of the fact that there's no true Mexican Government anymore.... it's just cartel controlled country that are basically DONE bending the knee to the US who even arrests them when they're relying on getting most of their narcotics. they'll arrest them for crossing the border arrest them for having guns, the same narcotics that the US government is buying. but this current cartel is making an army and they're DONE with the US doing them dirty. so not only am i worried about this newfound US-Russia stand off, but also worried about the US-Mexico stand off that's only heating up more n more each day. scary times we live in bro. that's why it's nice to watch your videos in which it takes my mind off the sick shit going on in the world and it cheers me up. so thank you heaps for being you and mainly being funny and uploading content i enjoy. i know you replied to my other comment on anothervideo regarding video editing and you actually have someone dedicated to editing your videos... i wish i could afford such a thing since yours also uses DaVinci Resolve. that means they're super good at what they do and I'll have to dedicate a couple weeks maybe a month or doing nothing but learning what everything does and can do on DaVinci. is there any way you'd be willing to put me in touch with your editor so i can ask them a question or two? so I can speed up my learning process and edit my own videos until i'm able to afford my own? i'm working on a playthrough of God of War (not ragnarok cuz that's no on steam and idk if they'll put it on PC/Steam like they did with the game that came right before). also working on walk through on dark souls 3 and once i get better at Elden Ring and so on, i'll do one of those. outside of that, i can record videos of WoW Raids/PvP/Mythic+ dungeons, MTG Arena Ranked, as well as perhaps some SC2. take care PiGBro!

[@jasonburgess8352]

When he was under pressure why not put the scvs in the actually main base surely a good idea and remove when safe

[@jlandles]

The Zerg player was simply stupid. I stopped cheering for him after the fifth nuke, the repeated attempt to use the same failed strategy, and the fact his army was always parked off to the west while his bases were being harassed... again, and again and again. There's no learning curve for a player that will run the same strategy for nearly an hour that failed in the first 10 minutes.

[@NM-rz6tq]

Mate, you just gave me an idea for content at around the 13:00 mark - have a show called "the cesspit" and invite a few of your viewers from Diamond 3 and upwards to go up against an unknown bullshit artist like Flo, PrintF, Ruff etc. basically anyone you think we think we could beat if it was us.
