StarCraft 2: FLORENCIO Is Feeling Gouda!

[@TMKM]

why is there a city named after cheese

[@edstirling]

nah nah, it's named after soup. New England Clam Gouda.

[@tomasbelohradsky4510]

even in czech its a cheese

[@EncryptedLiberty]

@@tomasbelohradsky4510 In Russian, it's a mixture of the two pronunciations. "G-ow-dah"

it's just like balsamico and alp milk. Just a typical regional product that became successful. Goud is gold, btw... So it's like golda for us xD

Nobody is going to comment that lowko's high school biology lab has a baneling on a glass?

[@MattFrisian]

My fiance is Russian, and I just explained to her the correct pronunciation of Gouda this weekend. I felt like Lowko would be proud.

[@MSDoL]

Tbf, the Russian pronounciation of Gouda (both the cheese and the city) is very similar to the Dutch variant, except for the historical tradition of translating germanic names with an "H" sound at the beginning of the word as a "G" sound. And the absense of the choking sound.

[@MattFrisian]

@@MSDoL It is true, but she had been hearing English speakers saying the name, and had learned it that way.

For us Germans it is very easy to pronounce these vowls or throat sounds. Much love from Germany.🇩🇪

[@Beatfriid]

I doubt it. Most germans I know can't pronounce "CH" in my language, which is exactly the "G" in dutch.

[@tinoneher8047]

@@Beatfriid I mean then they can't pronounce something like "Lauche" or "tauchen"= diving. It seems a bit unrealistic.

[@denispeter8145]

The dutch OU seems like our german AU, while the G sounds much like our CH. I am pretty sure in Austria and Switzerland it should also be a regular occurence. Don't feel to alienated Lowko. You got a lot of friedly neighbours with the same glibberish of a language for the english natives :-)

[@soulflame799]

Hello! Flo said in one of his games on his channel that he doesn't forget the upgrades of his units. He doesn't do the upgrades because he wants to master the units first and leaving the upgrades out (for now) making the game harder for him. When he will be better, only then will he start to upgrade his units. So it's just part of his training strategy at getting better at SC.

[@devonoltmanns5453]

I really enjoyed the unit tester at the end, helps show that it’s not always the quality of the units that wins the battle and that the user plays a big role

18:16 that roach didn't want to get slow cooked, but went for the fast option.

[@getawaykid]

You've got it all wrong, Lowko. beckett industries is actually a spa resort for zerg. Those pods on the cliffs are "Volcano View Suites". That hydralisk booked a weekend getaway on AirBnB that was listed as a "hot buy!". Those smaller pods are just a fancy skin care treatment spa. Because zerg deserves a little R-n-R now and then too!

[@CallinWire]

Poor Lowko is gonna have war flashbacks over this match. Florencio's mistakes, the Zerg player's mistakes, realizing that Beckett Industries was built to slow-cook Zerg...

[@carlosmiguelteixeiraott3643]

Pay attention to the match? Nah. Obsess over the map details? Heck yes.

[@Reztiips]

Lowko, weapon upgrades scale with damage and attack speed. Thors roaches tanks and other slow attackers benefit from weapon upgrades more than any other unit in the game, with the exception of the carrier, because interceptors attack twice and both attacks get 1 damage. So carriers get +16 damage, but slow attacking units like tanks get like +10 base and like +20 vs armored. It's a huge amount of damage that allows them to kill more things in a very low number of hits. Roaches get like +6 per hit from +1, which is why in ZvZ +1 is so important, because the roaches can kill other roaches in considerably fewer attacks.

I just wanted to put this here.... upgrades for weapons, particularly slower fireing weapons get bigger upgrades. Siegge tanks do 15/25 damage in tank form, upgrades make that 17/28, 19/31 and finally 21/34... in Siege mode this is 40/70, to 44/75, 48/80 and 52/85 with full upgrades. Where as armour only goes up 1 per level.

[@petrie911]

It's not so much that fast attacking units benefit more because they attack quickly. Upgrades are designed to give a 10% bonus to damage per level. However, for units with less than 10 damage on their attacks, 1 additional damage is more than 10%. For a similar reason, units whose damage is in the 15-20 range also benefit a lot, because rounding means they get +2 per level of upgrade instead of +1. It's part of what made Colossi scale so well back before the nerf--they dealt 15x2 damage, so they gained 4 damage with each upgrade.

[@william_sun]

The reason why "ou" is often pronounced as "oo" in English in foreign-looking words is because English has a lot of foreign-looking words with "ou" pronounced that way, like "caribou", "crouton", and "soufflé", due to them coming from French. Because of this, "ou" is simply assumed to be pronounced "oo" in foreign-looking words even when they don't come from French and shouldn't be pronounced like that, like "gouda" and "Raikou". (And it doesn't help in gouda's case that a lot of food-related words in English come from French.)

[@Finstrax]

Love the dutch lesson from lowko, i can spell it Gouda pretty well as a german
