"I'll build double Nydus, that way they'll never see the overlord drop coming!"

[@davidholland4713]

Florencio is so educational. He is teaching ladder players not to die to stupid stuff, using the Socratic teaching method. What a humanitarian :-)

[@beanbagbum9184]

@Israeli PR Shill really? You love him more than all of us combined? Then maybe explain why you didn’t put the love and care in it to spell his full name? Florencio 😂

[@markpriss]

Yuh some of my fav games to watch on LowkoTV!

[@daniely.poonsyverson2603]

That's not Korean. That's Chinese. "Dao Ke Dao" is the first three characters of the Dao De Jing. It's the first half of a sentence to which the second half is, "Fei Chang Dao". The whole sentence reads, "Things can go in many ways that are not the usual ways." As a Chinese-speaking person I look at that name and think, prepare for "out-of-the-box" play.

[@SebastianKaye]

This would be such an appropriate name for Florencio 😀

[@timmelton856]

Thanks for the translation 👍✔🙌🧐 … still maybe a little odd for me, but very kewl to (start) understand …

[@ballboys607]

Hello Chinese person here, that is in fact Chinese (could be a reference to a line from Tao Te Ching by Laozi, a philosopher) anyway more importantly FLORENCIO

[@soulbeats135]

his name could mean: "the way that can be named (is not the eternal way) if i follow a translation of the tao te ching

[@sicktheory7575]

I’m American.. so I’m most likely wrong haha.. but I thought it was Lao Tzu?

[@soulbeats135]

@@sicktheory7575 i am not chinese either, but as far as i am concerned the script and the spoken word in chinese can vary and lao tze lived in a time around or before christ. What i wanna say is i think there are several factors which point to the conclusion that his latinized name can have different spellings

What we really need is for Bly to mentor Florencio. Take him under his mutalisk flap.

[@microqueen69]

I believe the correct terminology is flippy flappies.

[@m.t.pokkets86]

I don't think that F is seriously pushing. More like playing with his victim.

[@garereeve117]

I heard him address this accusation in one of his live-steams. He claims that rushing in too quickly to finish off your opponent is a good way to lose your army to a desperate counterattack where your victim manages to get a Disrupter into a perfect flanking position, or you didn’t realize that he built a Dark Shrine in a corner of the map until your Roach army is getting chopped up by Protoss Ninjas and your Overseers are halfway across the map.

[@atrtsh]

When Flo has a hidden expansion and the enemy rushes him just to die, you see why a mad push when you think you're slightly ahead is a good way to lose everything.

[@lorddidger]

There should be a series "slay the beast", where florencio's victim wins.

[@Florenciosc2]

I'm looking for some.

[@stephenfisher4133]

When is the Lowko v Florencio match going to happen? But flipped, Lowko needs to come up with creative cheese and Florencio needs to play an online ladder build

[@PresidentialWinner]

Dude that would be a great game. Or at the very least a great commentary after the game

[@joranwa430]

Florencio won’t stand a chance though

[@SmollerRadish]

Literally florencio why start at the beginning when you can start at the end

[@tokyo420pm7]

So basically one player COULDN'T expand and the other player DIDN'T WANT to x,D

[@euqinuykcaj]

Hi Lowko, those words, 道可道, is closely meaning to "Reason can be reasoning", not actually works in English though.

[@ballboys607]

It's from 道德經: "道可道，非常道。名可名，非常名。"

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

So more or less 'A thinking mind'

[@euqinuykcaj]

@@glenmcgillivray4707 Well, those three words are only a part of a sentence. If you really want to know it's meaning, it is nothing close to "a thinking mind".

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

@@euqinuykcaj oh, it sounds in english as an individual in deep contemplation. So I decided to see if I could shorten it. Knowing asian culture it is either entirely random, or a fragment of a poem with deep meaning. Either way I swung and missed the ball (intended meaning) this time.

[@MrYago-xd7um]

Glad to know this sewer show begin with a hint of irony coupled with foreshadowing.

[@ragedcarnage912]

Lowko - it’s sad there’s so much cheese in the ladder. Later - but I like it

[@jahjah7940]

I have been preparing for a game against Florencio to the point where i don’t even know how to play normal Starcraft anymore

[@chingompiew1]

Pretty much everything FLORENCIO does: Lowko "I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a thing!" Florencio: The Man, the Myth, the Legend, the Pioneer!

[@carnage2332]

I lack the skill to do this but have been wondering how this would work FOREVER! Now I just cannot wait for him to try using a warp prison and 4 adepts to kite queens or marines around an enemy base. Using that scouting probe and the warp prisons power field to power them to heal up the adepts on the enemies side of the map. Put those shield batteries in strange hard to reach spots since they don't need pylons.

[@ragedcarnage912]

Best way to start your weekend - lowko’s SC2 casts

[@M.B___]

The baiting master at it again! What a legend, doesn't need macro to win games, just plays in a way that makes the opponent's brain melt out their ears.

[@lynk_1240]

This is indeed a great way to start the weekend!

[@golgotai2938]

Bring back the 300 dB "Hello Everyone my name is LOOWKOOO"

[@teostancu364]

About burrowing lings to stop the bases from being placed.. A while ago I played agaisnt a terran borrowing 1 ling to each base on his side and instead of getting detection he built his CCs next to the burrowed zergling

[@dayeet267]

Lowko it's 700 resources in cannons and batteries with the forge, not counting lost mining time.

[@sinfulhealer2110]

i love it how i don't play starcraft AT ALL but still find which playing styles i'd appreciate playing the most myself (the way Florence plays in this game :kissing_heart: :ok_hand:

[@lucifersatan8240]

For all coop comanders Oracles are perma detectors, only Vorazun has them.

I love videos like this.

[@lyravega6577]

12:46 that giggle :D

[@GBS4893]

I think i get it. The nydus, burrow, proxy hatches, dropperlord... This is Florencio's standard. Those tools are there, ready to be utilized when the opportunity shows up.

[@alexwu358]

Protoss players name - 道可道 非常道 - is a sentence selected from Taoism literature "Tao Te Ching" Pronunciation [Tao ke tao , Fey Cheong Tao] Basically means "If an ideology or a figure is able to be studied, then it is not a real ideology/figure" ps: the sentence is very deep and I have no idea why someone would use that as their id.

[@grahamelliott9506]

love the drop OL with queens those nydus maybe are a backup for 'reverse creep spread' or an exit strategy for the containing zerg force, yeah could be played better but florencio is always challenging the meta and forging ahead into uncharted territory

[@jkobain]

Yes. YES! YES!!!! Thank you so much!!

Been a bit since I watched one of these videos. Sooo glad it’s a sewer mermaid game.

[@albertakesson3164]

What a great match! Gotta love Florecio's style =D

[@assurhex1449]

actually we used to set a muta on a patrol route and get every other muta to follow. When the first one that goes in dies the others just go nuts and kill everything around them.

[@chir0pter]

Two things I want to see more of: (1) creep spreading queens in ovies (2) Proxying a nydus network then showing protoss a nydus worm when Protoss push so they doesn't know their side of the map is being tunnelled

[@TheAsker12]

I think this is what he was trying to do. Creep provides vision. Spread creep in random spots on the map, you have vision of just about everything. Use the nydus network and vision to spawn worms anywhere on the map. I THINK that was his original idea with the nydus and creep.

[@thewave5536]

EPIC

[@davidstud3952]

Awesome Game!

[@originalph00tbag]

Protoss's name is pronounced closer to "dow kuh dow." It's a reference to the first like of the Daodejing, the founding document of Taoism. It translates roughly to "the way that can be known."

[@buttergaming123]

Lowko: “I don’t want to math in a video” Also Lowko “I don’t know 150+150 is 400”

[@BjornDov]

He counted the pylon

[@Purrfect_Werecat]

I bet this person faced thie burrow strat before and that explains why he made a cannon by the hatchery, so the drone couldn't burrow to safety

[@meggi8048]

lowko , hundreds is a bigger number then thousands! i still remember this from kindergarden

[@mslmj4256]

Lowko just like the Zerg, I have set up a nydus network to make it super early to your video :)

[@CallinWire]

At this point I'd be very interested in seeing Lowko cast a non-cheese macro Florencio game. If such a thing exists. I'd like to see what he'd build.

[@Florenciosc2]

Coming soon on the macro builds.

[@EC123z]

Creep spread looking like a campaign mission

[@Soloohara]

watching you every eveening from italy!

[@feartheghus]

in a serious note Florencio's cheese actually makes me feel bad for the other guy even though I'm normally on the side of Zerg, and we all know Protoss in ladder is cheese only so they normally deserve some of their own medicine. This is still too much cheese. Hilarious and fun to watch though, and the reverse creep is amazing.

[@KyleBourret]

I don’t even play Starcraft, I just enjoy watching you cast. It would be cool if you showed your face when you cast like Winter does.

what was it Duncan Idaho told Paul? "The good knife fighter thinks on point and blade and shearing-guard simultaneously. The point can also cut; the blade can also stab; the shearing guard can also trap your opponent's blade." "When your oponent fears you, then's the moment when you give the fear its own rein, give it the time to work on him. Let it become terror. The terrified man fights himself." "Keep the mind on the knife and not on the hand that holds it. The knife is more dangerous than the hand and the knife can be in either hand." has Flo been reading Dune? i think so... i think so

I saw a low GM game where the Terran couldn't expand to a third bc zerg put an overlord dumping creep and a burrowed ling at both of the third locations. So, the overlord got shooed away, ling was still there, by the time the line was dead, there was a new overlord. Very annoying.
