  • 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.

    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.

  • @umbrosia5202
    @umbrosia5202 3 года назад +102

    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 👏

    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.

    Maybe my armchair generalling reveals my lack of savvy, but shouldn't the protoss have transitioned to dark templar when the push with the tank and the widow mines started? It didn't look like the terran had much "spot," and some good distraction with a sacrificial void ray or two would hide the attack from the cloaked unit(s) long enough to take down the siege tank and start work on the widow mines.

    In the second game, I don't blame the protoss for floating money and not expanding. It's happened to me a couple times, you think the opponent is AFK, then as you go to expand, 7 void rays or 20 chargelots run in and kill you

    • @MrSpleenface
      @MrSpleenface 3 года назад

      @GlowyBoi I mean, obviously he was floating more than just the cost of a nexus, but I'm saying that at lower level leagues, people with reasonable build orders might start floating in a situation like that, because while normally at the [X] minute mark, he would be building a nexus, pylon, battery etc., he decided not too because he was scared of what his opponent was doing.

    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.

    Lowko! Can you make a thumbnail that are just arrows that points to one unit? I wonder how effective thatll be?

    Just curious, why is cannon rushing a terran inherently bad compared to other races?

    • @Mahons
      @Mahons 3 года назад +1

      Cannon are stationary, most Terran buildings can fly away to a different location so you can always just relocate you main base to somewhere else if you are terran whereas cannons cannot just relocate

      @@Mahons Thanks for the reply, but cannons are relatively cheap, so won't the terran lose so much more minerals in mining time from relocating their cc?

    He had so much time to get a tank. The first canon didn't come out till much later.
