StarCraft 2: FLORENCIO'S 200 IQ CANNON RUSH!

[@Florenciosc2]

For the intro harass I sent the probes down the ramp after I rushed his workers to force Shaoran to wall me out of his base, this is so I can let him feel safe inside his base. I do end up killing most my victims with the cannon rush phase but I didn't want to send in a 4 min game for you all. For the warpgate research, I made it early to avoid the Protoss from reading into my play. If the warpgate was't seen then he would be wondering where i'm spending my gas.

[@freedomisntfree9960]

Flo you are so methodical in your play. That is what wins games. So many people think everyone plays a certain order of operation. You always throw them off the scent. Love you vids love the casting of your vids. Dont stop ever!

[@miguelzavaleta1911]

@@jankowalski1501 Rushes are a perfectly valid strategy. It's the 1 and only thing stopping 100% of buils going full econ. If it weren't for rushes, every SC game would look the same.

[@chappuis73]

At 7:40, the Blue player sent an Adept right next to Florencio's hidden base, but missed it. That's probably why Shaoran was so confident about his enemy not having another base

[@agilagilsen8714]

I am shocked that Lowko missed that. He even looked at the adept while it was down there...

[@simongaschler5251]

@@agilagilsen8714 Yes, but the base wasn't revealed on the mini-map for Shaoran, so... he missed it only for a little bit...

[@Jack_Rakan]

@@simongaschler5251 he probably used the minimap to send the scout orders and slightly missclicked, leaving the base juuuust a few pixels out of sight. You can see at 8:11 that the revealed area of the map for him just barely doesn't cover the nexus placement point.

I really like how at the end he knows what he's gonna find but scouts it anyway just to GG as soon as it's seen.

title is very confusing, because every Florencio's rush is 200 IQ

[@Thekentuckyrebel]

The big bamboozal. He scouted the bottom earlier at 7:31, sent an adept. Missed the base by a few meters.

[@skychaos87]

Yea, the game could have ended if he actually saw the base. The adept could kill the workers or if not prevent 1/3 of the mining. Its just bad luck really.

[@Marunius]

That's the quality of players in 2020 in this game. You can get to master by just regular cannon rushing.

[@BaufenBeast]

@@Marunius I don't think this was a regular cannon rush. For one, while Florencio's macro is suspect, he does have followups to his cannon rushes. Many cannon rushers lose games because once the rush fails, it's a bronze league player behind the keyboard. Florencio does have an actual plan past the first few minutes.

[@angryboner]

@@Marunius Lol you need at least some skill to cannon rush properly. Im in platinum1 doing 4 proxy gates zealot rush every time. Thats how easy to toss in lower leagues

Harstem executes that against higher-level opponents too

[@kindlin]

I just watched a Harstem take out a master league with the afk build. It was hilarious.

[@Blxz]

I feel so many pro players don't play with the mind of their opponents enough. The game has reached a point where when player 1 does x you counter with y and it is known. By forcing them to counter in ways that benefit you a smart player like florencio can just dominate. Assuming he has enough smart pays to keep winning.

[@aloysiousso446]

@Lowko, more Florencio please!

[@jaguh9069]

7:39 Its not the only reason he lose, but if Shaoran pathing the adept correctly to bottom right base he would found the base really early. His adept missed flo base by a hair breadth (8:05 check the mini map for his view)

Im gonna have to try that probe stacking. I had to really pay attention. I didnt realize they only stack up when it is an unfinished assimilator. I used to main toss way back in WOL days. Looks like its time to piss some people off today hahaha. I still remember my protoss cheese checklist... Cannon rush √ dank templars? voids √ proxy √ muddership piss opponent off √√√

[@honan989]

They stack on finished assimilator as well, but there is the problem, that some of them start mining when they reach it.

[@sincord1]

You can stack them on minerals too.

[@TritonTv69420]

@@sincord1 try the minerals one..... i think the only time they do that is right at the beginning of the game! Think about it. Whenever there are already 2 on a mineral patch if you send one to that one he moves to another. I have tried that one after watching another sewer mermaid game. Didnt work!!

@@TritonTv69420 It's doable, you just need to back and forward between two farthest patches more than few times. Unfinished simulator stack is the easiest one.

[@skychaos87]

No dude, the 2 adept decision is way better than 1 base robo with when he has way lesser workers. Even if he proxy the robo, by the time he can afford and produce an immortal, he is not going to get past 3 cannons and a few stalkers. The adepts killed a few workers and prevented some mining, it was actually enough to bring him back to worker advantage. The blue protoss's only mistake is missing the ninja expand by a few inches which his adept would have killed many workers or prevent 1/3 of his mining. He also unnecessarily lost the 2 adepts.
