StarCraft 2 - FLORENCIO’S 300 IQ PYLON PATHING TRICK (2-games PvT) | Florencio Files

[@Florenciosc2]

Glad you guys are enjoying the games. I always enjoy sharing and grateful that you guys enjoy them. Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect.

[@Necrocidal]

There are plenty of cheese streamers, but you've somehow managed to create an entire new sub-genre of it

[@edesbalazs]

You did Gamel dirty Flo :D

[@jkobain]

Yes we are! Thank you and PiG for TFF, it's always great.

[@aaronobrien2353]

Flo that was art at its finest

[@nickholman3843]

There are those rare people who see a set of supposed rules (standard play) and think "how can I break this?" These are my favorite SC2 videos. My wife and I binge these like a favorite TV series.

[@Double_Vision]

I can just see the wry little smile on Flo's face as he made that stasis trap. He's like a concert pianist of human suffering. Just incredible.

[@bathroomlew]

"Optimized Salt Extraction" is the best title I have heard this entire year.

[@loudaccord]

The hallucinated ray was too funny. That's brilliant to kill the tank

[@jkobain]

If he could hallucinate cannons, he'd be the first one to invent such a strat.

[@hanklestank]

You want to know how good PiG is at casting these games? I don’t even play StarCraft, and these are some of my favourite videos on KZbin.

[@sleezie100]

I second that. Haven't played a second.

[@tomosko2669]

That's what I like to hear. But playing is even better. Try it out. :D

[@hanneskarlbom6644]

Same

[@sleezie100]

@@tomosko2669 I will. In time lol. On another note; I heard this before "Come on, try it out", I think the StarCraft community is among the nicer ones. Not condescending, just wanting you to try out the game. Nice change of pace I guess.

[@cathulionetharn5139]

@@sleezie100 the game is good, the development team I have never heard anything bad about, the publisher tho... Funnily enough starcraft 2 is an rts game with microtransactions (warchests and commanders for duo), meanwhile warcraft 3 reforged was cut into absurd shittiness because they didn't have any idea for microtransactions and post-buy monetisation. Also PLAYER--MADE CONTENT!!! there are so many maps, modes, campaigns, hell even a multiplayer rpg

[@Volkaer]

Bruh not saturating mineral line is clearly a 1000IQ move because that means his main doesn't run out of minerals as quickly - especially with opponent terran using mules. It's like the 5th lesson of science school!

[@michaellewis8849]

That second game was delicious, first the hallucinated Void then the stasis on those stimming marines - amazing. When I saw the oracle putting down the stasis I was really wondering if it would see action, but oh my did it pay off.

[@erikkarlsson9192]

lol that second Terran 17:49 "Why don't you play vs AI" should apply more to him than Florencio though. Florencio's builds is only really fun against other players, the Terran could however play standard stuff against AI if he wants a normal game and it'll work fine.

[@erikkarlsson9192]

100% he wrote something really angry but pressed escape and just left instead.

[@NeoVoodooTech]

A nice eclectic selection of some very funky fromage.

[@theswiss9063]

It's amazing how even after decades of this game florencio can still figure out new tricks

[@jlai9001]

If i played against Florencio , I'd probably quit from brain damage and humiliation. That stasis trap! OMG!

[@GruppeSechs]

I didn't even notice the stasis. What a ninja oracle.

[@sirgorasheckley]

i laughed out loud when the stasis trap activated trapping 80% of the marines xDDD

[@samvito3338]

the probe split was genius. i had to watch it 3 times to figure out what happened

[@billr8227]

I really love watching Flo's games, easily the highlight of my day. I love the way he seems to toy with his 'Prey' the way a Cat might play with it's Prey. Simply a joy to watch! Keep up the great work bringing Flo and your excitement in his clever games to us PiG!

[@KaeYoss]

"why u dont play vs IA?" That's the writing of a broken mind. And the answer is simple: AI don't get crying fits

[@Jimbo7P]

I actually burst out laughing when the victim ran his stimmed marines right into the statis trap. Just savage.

[@zanxu3918]

After the stasis on those stimming marines he goes up and puts down pylons on the high ground... After his opponent left.. You know, incase those IA's tried to run back to base...

[@BernardWei]

The last stasis trap is really like rubbing salt in the wounds 😄

[@rabbitcreative]

Cool cast. But that pig-flesh tapestry at the end I find horrifying.

[@allanturmaine5496]

This man's game sense is amazing.

[@GruppeSechs]

11:48 I wonder if Pig ever gets tired of saying this while watching Flo games.

[@danieljones3291]

"Optimized Salt Extraction" Epic title!

[@fpSmoker]

Almost cracked my screen smashing the like button!

[@raf74hawk12]

That stasis trap. What nice cherry on top

[@uhohDavinci]

that stasis trap would have broken my soul too!

[@ohbejuankenobi663]

Flo is next level dirty. That is the most impressive stuff I've seen in awhile

[@TomGalonska]

I can't remember who it was, but somebody once said, we should measure "GOAT" status by how many players you made quit Starcraft... I think by that metric, Flo is winning, not even close :D

[@jkobain]

Watched this game live on KZbin, I believe, and I'm certainly happy to rewatch it for sure, because look how PiG is amused!

[@YumboYack2521]

The sewer mermaid is a salt water creature

[@tylerm.9408]

Keep playing weird, Flo, we love it

[@brodobroggins]

First game Florencio brings Terran down to gold league with gold league strats.

[@vonixvintvon2534]

Amazing move!! Hiding that probe spkit

[@loboling9188]

This was glorious! I wish we could've seen what Flo was building in the base at the end of that game. Looks like he was about to do something interesting with Gamel's corpse...🤭

[@Franpowah]

That probe stacking was genius! I feel so dirty after watching this :x

[@axh2]

12:55 I really like how that cleaning bot instantly started to clean the marine's blood from the floor. Good bot!

[@uhohDavinci]

god damn!! Florencio still finding new ways to absolutely DICK people! LOVE IT

[@brettfourie3496]

Is there a Ruff vs Florencio game out there ? Or would that be chaos ?

[@samba272]

I am really happy that you showed the pylon-trick. I have never seen that and it is 300 IQ. I assume this works on every map?

[@WindsorMason]

Any time the pathing is blocked off a unit will walk straight towards the target instead of trying to walk along the path that would be there if it wasn't blocked. This fact means that when a Terran (or anyone, really) blocks off their ramp your units will walk towards the wall near the main instead going into the natural and trying to go up the ramp... And you'll know it's blocked even if you've never seen the buildings on the ramp. :D

[@samba272]

@@WindsorMason Yeah, the question is if your walking direction would lead to a dead space in the main where there wouldn't be any buildings usually. And I often wondered about the maphack-ability of pathing.

[@WindsorMason]

@@samba272 in terms of gaining information without risking your units, usually the information gained from actually seeing what's on the ramp and the short time needed to check outweighs everything else. There's also the case where you can block off one path on the map to try and hide something by redirecting movement, occasionally you see it in some especially sneaky mind game matches! But this requires really understanding your opponent's behavior and knowing that they wouldn't set any movement waypoints next to/in front of your blockade, completely countering the sneaky attempt. Ahah. (This is also why if you're sending stuff across the map, queue instructions to go to each step of the way, rather than just a moving a single instruction towards the top of a ramp.)

[@blazethefaith]

@@WindsorMason Obviously it's an inbuilt mechanic at this point, but do you think that's something that should be in the game? I've always thought it was weird that my units can see through the fog of war in a way, like pathing should have been based on the players visibility, not an observer's visibility.

[@WindsorMason]

@@blazethefaith it definitely is weird when you think about it like this, but the information that can be gained from it is usually minimal so it takes a lot effort and lots of things going right for it to be exploitable in any way, and if it wasn't there I think we'd have a much more difficult (and potentially laggy) time controlling units (think sc1 dragoons, but your whole army. :P)

[@DaniilDimitrov]

Honly fuk. I officially pronounce Florencio as a genius!

[@WonderingWanderer88]

18:19 IA stands for "Inteligencia Artificial" in Spanish. So he probably is just a Spanish speaker and forgot to swap the letters to "AI" in English :'D

[@pacuraralexandru4135]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ Flow the One .. the legend 🤯🌏

[@Zulu4impi]

Want to see Florencio do Hybrid games, thinking his approach would be epic

[@nathang5603]

Lol!! Love the salt extraction!!

[@CrazyCritterTV]

I can think of one duo that is reminiscent of these 2 games. Theon Grayjoy and Sam Bolton.

[@cavemanjack1570]

Florencio has played vs "IA" though. Remember when he broke Alphastar and they had to purge it losing months of xp? He can even melt ai brains lol!

[@xenniealsentinel1800]

Purge it what?!

[@erikkarlsson9192]

lolwtf was those Vikings, just floating there and fighting Voids head-on

[@pedagogikkensverden7661]

alrite alrite alrite

[@l4l01234]

Florencio is a magician

[@BWV478]

I'm so happy to see these games that push me further back to re-install this game. F*ck Protoss.

[@nhdoom8368]

FloWrestling should add a FloStarcraft section to the site.

[@VapidSlug]

This is SAVAGE.

[@jasonrubek3922]

BANG BANG

[@julzp424]

Lol as expected the last time i saw florencio 's 3 yrs ago still doing the sickening cheese towering those pylons hahaha nothing changed or improving skills, no wonder he has not yet on the gm.

[@Florenciosc2]

I been GM on all 3 servers. Keep drinking the hateraid.

[@stylis666]

I'm probably not the only one who read the thumbnail as: This pylon is actually a penis.

[@foxtrotpooh]

Yesss salttttt yummmy .

[@Kilorelv]

Would of loved for flo to be like "this is easier than the 'IA' "

[@xSergisX]

"AI doesnt get salty"

[@DrummerJacob]

Florencio would be the French on AOE 4.

[@AD-lr6pc]

Is this the Terran real masters or the bug master league?

[@sinappanis]

Couldn't the terran have just gotten a medivac in game 2 and like a 4+ marine drop the main? XD

[@incognitonotsure909]

I dont think anyone ever expects the army at the main to be so atrocious

[@0Akeldama0]

lol The APM is zero!

[@maxliu7434]

It's funny to see how bad these victims are, but on the other hand it's sad to see people like Florencio driving new players out of this game using these cheesy strats.One of the reasons why there are fewer and fewer SC2 players out there.

[@Florenciosc2]

I have a KZbin channel and I'm recruiting new players to StarCraft. If you can't handle a lose you shouldn't play StarCraft.

[@GollyGeeWilikers]

couldn't he just select the pair of probes, select one in the group below, and right click where he wanted it to go?

[@Florenciosc2]

They will see you do it because it's in vision.

[@juztina7346]

game 1 opponent shouldnt have lose , has 1k at gg time
