  • Two games of StarCraft 2. In the first one we watch a match where Florencio gets a taste of his own medicine, and in the second one a Protoss player pretends to go AFK at the beginning of the match while building a Nexus on the other side of the map.

    32:00 this is beyond insane, he saw THE STARGATE vulnerable to literally ANYTHING, but he instead decided to GO AROUND AND FIGHT THE PHOTON CANONS, this is the greatest mindtrick ever, if you place a comicly large amount of cannons your opponent will think he actually has to fight them.

    First he faked to be AFK, and by that, his opponent though that he would be really bad at the game.
    Afterwards he only put very little effort into his main base, because if he wouldn't, the enemy would easily be suspicious.
    What an brilliant strategy 👏

    I can't even imagine the emotional roller coaster that SEDFREWORF must have been going through. He was probably sure he has 100% won, from slight annoyance that his opponent isn't GGing, to relief when it's finally done, to surprise when somehow he has not won the game yet, to depression when he actually lost it.

    Back in the days I would also pull off fake afks for fun, with a terran you could build a CC and fly it somewhere in the edge of map before the first scout somes, what you opponent will see is you have not built anything, but when he kills everything he still cannot win the match. To add some spice on it you could also switch out to windows and start some CPU heavy apps then your opponent will start lagging as hell, eventully leaves and you win.

    Wow SEDEREWORF gave up too soon. He had 3000 minerals to build cannons with vs just a couple of void rays and an opponent that had no nexus. Granted because his Nexuses were dead too it would be a tough battle, but with 3000 minerals all you have to do is build a few cannons on 2-3 expansions then you've instantly won because whether they split or not they won't have enough fire power to take everything down in time.

    Someone tried the AFK on me a week ago. So bizarre. They waited for me to send units over to investigate and then attack me from the bottom left. I only sent one stalker and he then came waltzing into my base. I assumed a cheese and pumped out Stalkers and a battery at home, so it was a very easy win in the end.

    YouGoudaLose may have actually intended the Dutch pronunciation: the vowel sound is a lot closer to bouta that way!

    That first protoss plays like he is playing versus Zerg...

    As a Zerg player, I always send out a lot of Overlords and a lot of creep so I highly doubt they would have gotten away with that.

    After watching the full video, I agree that lowko went with the better title rather than including Florencio in it 😂 also 200 IQ strat?

    Build a single tempest to punish widow mines. With that observer they just slow die.
