StarCraft 2: FLORENCIO'S DISGUSTING TERRAN PLAYS!

I've casted quite a few of Florencio's Protoss games in StarCraft 2. This time around he's showing some of the strategies that he is working on with Terran. In this game he opens up with a Reaper Bunker rush, then transitions towards Battlecruisers and eventually leads to Mech and quadruple Nukes.

What I love about florencio is while he does crazy strategies, he spends a lot of time refining them and always has a follow up to the first cheese and then a follow up to the follow up cheese. He's a man with a plan

[@Fyrebrand18]

Bartix Madness and Genius is separated by a fine line. Florencio uses that line as a jump rope.

[@corkbowltorture317]

@@Fyrebrand18 I do like that line. Imma steal it

[@LeviathanStormPrince]

@@Fyrebrand18 I disagree. Florencio games seem to basically consist of him styling on people less skilled than him. Compare this to say, White-Ra, who does Florencio style tactics at the pro level and historically had significant success doing so (back in the Brood War and Wings of Liberty days).

[@ntm4]

@@LeviathanStormPrince And I disagree with you. While Florencio does play against diamond and even platinum players with his off-races, he routinely goes up against high-masters and even GM players with Protoss using similarly unique strategies.

[@REgamesplayer]

@@LeviathanStormPrince Ranked games are often like this. Third of them against very tough opponents who are favored to win. Another third against opponents who would win if you make a mistake and another third is against people you are favored and quite often wonder what they are even doing at this rank with that level of skill.

[@thiagooshiro4857]

Everytime I see Lowko casting a Florencio's game i've got the impression of Florencio like this cheesy villain of the movies from the 90's, with plans to conquer/destroy/etc the world.

He used the name macroking as a decoy

[@jannis3600]

I was literally screaming at my monitor telling you to scroll the map there for literally just 1s! Maybe it's just my OCD but that was really rough for me - it bothered me soooo much :P EDIT: 33:40 - AT LAST!

It was a superior player just playing with an experienced player. Its like playing your little brother on mario carts. Your so far ahead you turn around and let him pass you just to pass him again. He was so comfortable throughout the game, it was like he thought, what would be the coolest thing to send out first. Cleaning up with thors was so cool, even without upgrades he just pounded them with overwhelming firepower.

[@Legion12Centurion]

The idea of putting a clump of mines infront of ghosts trying to nuke is actually kinda smart. I also like that he has such a check on the economy to know when to build units and keep building bank, it doesnt feel at all like a more inexperienced player floating resources rather someone that spends them when need arises. The only issue I see is the one Lowko put forward with uppgrades... he should try to attach some uppgrades to his unit compositions.
