StarCraft 2: THE SEWER MERMAID!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- Two very dirty ladder games that Florencio recently played in StarCraft 2. In this video I cast two replays of Diamond League Terran versus Terran and Diamond League Terran versus Protoss. Florencio, also known as the Sewer Mermaid (nickname given to him by PiG), likes to go for strategies that nobody else plays. In these two games he uses the vision range of Barracks to allows his Siege Tanks to shoot at the maximum distance, and the Neosteel Armor upgrade to max his Battlecruiser timing attack more powerful.

"both players macroing like absolute trash"
Playing in the sewage is where diamonds are found. All hail florencio
Yep that was very funny.
Bring back the archon toilet
don't you mean in the muck and salt mines?
Gather resources from enemy territory and used it to buy and build troop.
I needed to take blues gas to slow down the potential Viking count. I didn't want to get my scv stuck inside his base trying to take the gas so I made a supply depot to have a way out after.
My boy is dat really u
I thought you were saving up for a cc while building the proxy factory. There was a ~400 mineral bank between 2:40 and 3:50 so you could have afforded it.
@@JaharNarishma I haven't optamized the build yet like it was mentioned. I share so you guys can try and add your own touch.
You were going to turn that flying 10scv command center dropship into a planetary fortress, weren't you.
That was truly beautiful cheese my man.
@@flappy7373That is the plan but he died too quick. I do it this way to not lose my scv's trying to repair while PF goes up. If they have no more units then it makes it alot easier to get it up.
Ah, the classic proxy planetary into triple battlecruiser CC SCV drop build
Out of all the florencio builds that has to be the craziest out of the box idea I’ve ever seen
Siege Tanks: We can’t see any further sir!
FLORENCIO: Hold my barracks
Tank Pilot: sir we can't see the enemy
Florencio: kay..
Rax: wtf are you doing with me
@@Agalix1 Your sacrifce will be remembered.
Scouting Barracks
Classic Brood War
Who s joe?black
Joe Black is a character played by Brad Pitt many years ago... the character was actually Death in disguise. Could be a reference to that.
Or its just the Korean Joe Black. Its like John Doe and if I recall correctly the Death in Rendezvous with Joe Black uses the name for that reason.
meet joe black, angle of death
Is he obtuse or acute
Brad Pitt? Hella cute.
Loved that movie
If I was Matched against florencio, I'd go for an immortal first as well.
I would just send in my regards and let him win. As a reward for all the laughs he has provided.
And with Lowko you can learn stuff about Dutch cheese whilst being entertained
John Carey Are you saying Dutch cheese does not entertain you?
@@macurvello meta-est comment award.
huuda
Yeah he's pretty Goudabout that
That 2nd strat was sick. 10 scvs repairing BCs in your main. That CC can turn into a PF at the same time. +2 armor on that PF. +2 armor on bunker and a few siege at home in case of counter. Actually seems viable even if Protoss scouts it. Blizzard should pay Florencio a stipend for keeping SC2 interesting.
@Tegridy Farms It wouldn't. Florencio strategies are designed to smash the standard builds. Guy had the right idea but didn't execute it well enough.
@Tegridy Farms I beat AlphaStar that beat Serral as well as a few other Pro Players like Pili Pili, incontrol, beastyqt, and more. You don't know what you're talking about.
@Tegridy Farms of course he didn't react well, I don't play standard. There is no right way to play vs me.
@@Florenciosc2 Exactly man. You're the one who beat AlphaStar. The same version of AlphaStar that terminated Serral... So props to you. People still have doubts. Granted, in a matchup against a good oponent like BeastyQT, when he knows about your builds and play style, he has the upper edge. I bet AlphaStar was like " WTF IS THIS " in its orthodox skynet brain.....
Woooowww that second strategy is bonkers. I would never even know what to do if I saw a CC floating into my main
I had a guy do that once. He was screaming in chat. "The mothership is coming!" Terran mothership. XD
team liquids TLO did this in late beta but as a early rush setting down the command center close to opponents and then make planertery fortress, goodtimes&fun_memories
Put something under it before it lands. Preferably a building.
@@flappy7373 it doesn't need to land
"Do you know what mermaids in the sewer call 'Florencio'? Just cheese."
They just call him a good player. :)
BRILLIAAAANT!!!!
Fun fact: if you put your SVCs on auto repair they will heal each other while in the CC.
SCVs should just always be on auto repair imo
Raclex13 yeah I agree. They are in the campaign and co op missions.
Raclex13 actually.... they will also repair mech while in a medivac too.
@@jonsolo32 too bad you can't fit an scv and a Thor
Raclex13 that that would be op. 😂
Florencio is rapidly becoming my favourite player to watch, win or lose he's always fun
I love the SCV stealing the show with his flexing at 18:00 lol
Holy cow I got a heart from Lowko himself!
Love your videos dude!
Incredible catch!
Not anymore. If you edit your comment it gets deleted... For some dumb reason.
@@MagicMan3K Imagine if the heart didn't disappear... People could just change their comment to something absolutely horrible (for example some Nazi Propaganda, Racist stuff, etc)
@@cthulwho9125 I know that but it'd be obvious (for those who are smart enough) to see it was edited.
@@MagicMan3K yah I noticed, it's all good though, I'm happy to come to Lowko, and people rely to much on gratification from social media
CC SCV drop, “That is so stupid” hahaha
Well, as they say - if it work then its not stupid
You’re both right, it worked! I loved his commentary though, made me laugh.
On its own it's dumb. But, with three BCS and some tanks behind them, it's incredibly strong. Especially when it lands and becomes a planetary IN YOUR MAIN.
This guy is incredible. He starts the bluff and by the time he executes his strategy the enemy is like wait wtf when did this happen.
That was so horribly entertaining.
New strategies for the better of the game. This is the way.
this is the way.
i have spoken
Florencio with the refined mental cheese on this one.. this is grade A mind cheddar. Next level cheese.
Making his opponent believe he's hardcore one base turtling, but he's got a secret expansion... And it's not just a hidden expo, it's also going to be the foothold staging ground for the command center dropship -> planetary fortress gateway killer reinforced with BCS, but the Protoss died before it could happen. That's what this game is. Cheese wrapped within cheese. Multi staged cheese. I loved this. Florencio, with this second replay, this cheese is aged to perfection. I wish it lasted longer so I could see if you really were intending to turn the floating cc into a planetary to screw up the Protoss production. Man, you're a true master.
Hobo version of Has. And I truly mean that as a compliment.
You got it all wrong my friend Has is the not so much sewer mermaid
but he's not homeless. he lives with neeb in the sewers
18:15 the scvs was like CRAP CRAP CAP REPAIR THE THING!!!!
I once heard you say that you try to read all comments on all your videos, so maybe you'll read this.
It's regarding the part when you talked about playing with standard builds or 'reinventing the wheel".
Brother, I watch your videos a lot, and I love what your doing, and usually I tend to agree on most of what you say, coming from a similar society. Shalom from Norway!
But I mean it when I say the journey is the goal. If someone likes experimenting and finds joy in seeing if their own ideas are good, or some other motive, then that has value in its self. Not everything is about climbing the ladder. SC2 is a challenging game and I think there is a huge amount of people who understand the game on a much higher level than their ability to play it. Much thanks to your videos I think. So here it is: thank you. Keep e'm coming!
That was disgusting, I love it.
Although I am not a fan of cheesing, if i get cheesed like this, I would actually do this build myself.
Very creative and not the classic obvious cheese, I love his builds.
The last strategy was both filthy and sexy at the same time. Very entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
I think when Flo said the 2nd game was a more refined cheese, he didn't mean it was less dirty. He meant that he had spent more time perfecting it. The CC-as-medivac to support Battlecruisers strat is one of the first strats he came out with after he decided to play all 3 races. The Avengers strat (from the first game) is more recent, so he's had less time to refine it.
Hey Lowko, Joe Black was a Figure in the Romance Film "Rondevouz with Joe Black" . In this film Brad Pitt played a role where he first was a normal guy, then got taken over by Death himself (not gonna spoil the changing ceremony;)
So basically ... the asian is playing a soothing learning charming Death
The Sewer Mermaid has done it again.
Hail Florencio.
Please do more of these! Love them. The Florencio Files are not nearly enough. Thank you in advance!
Loved how the mule dropped right when the music changed! 17:00
Can I just show appreciation to you and your channel. You have been my main starcraft 2 commentator. Ever since StarcraftHD stop making videos and HuskyHD changed his channel. Please continue to be awesome in what you do.
That SCV drop was the greatest thing I have ever seen
That second games strategy was amazing!!! Pure genius. So much fun.
That SCV drop was pure Starcraft science. I mean, we all knew a command center and bunker load and unload instantly, but how many people knew that a flying command center STILL loads and unloads instantly? I want to see Special or Innovation try this!
Woo! More fun Florencio matches! I always enjoy the awesome yet dumb strategies from this guy
Lowko: "I want HHHHHouda on my ham kaas toasties"
I wonder which 200IQ moves Florencio is gonna do with his Zerg Army....oh wait!
also lowko ,the reason to take exactly the 4th base is so when thatbase is found out and he does expand it is bled dry ,killing the possible economy in the future and making you have a good back up for yourv army when you do have to pull back
Such games brings out the actual charm of the game, thanks Lowko ♥
ok! This is some next level mad science from Florencio!
6:26 Barracks: "You'll float too!"
I loved it, I really did. But the second game got me thinking of a mutation - land that CC in the middle of the base and morph a planetary. Then you have the choice - focus those BCs or the planetary, which will wreak havoc in your backyard once it finishes. You ignore the BCs, they vaporize whatever in range. Also, a few seconds later you deal with those tanks on the low ground, shelling away at whatever, as they have that high ground vision
Turning the SCV dropship Command center into a planetary in the main base is actually the goal of the original build. the BCs are there to establish a beachhead and get time for the Planetary to get up. The guy just bailed right away when he realized he couldn't hold.
florencio is really creative, i think he comes up with this strange games out of boredom. Never gets old :)
Sina its how hes always played.
That was genius. That was sooo cool the sec. match. Bravo
Sewer Mermaid is such a perfect name for Florencio
Behold! The mad sewer mermaid backwards has finally returned on the stage!
That second video had me laughing, absolutely nuts.
We're never gonna get bored of Florencio!
Love Florencio`s creativity.
AI, AlphaStar :
,,You humans, so predictable, it's the end"
Florencio :
,,Good morning shithead!"
(unloading scvs from above)
All bow before the Sewer Mermaid! This was glorious.
I want to see you, Nobbel and Preach argue about pronounciation of words. Now THAT would be some top quality content.
The sentence "The Sewer Mermaid is back at it once again!" has to be one of the greatest combinations of sounds known to the English language!
This is the 3rd time I’ve watched this and it keeps making me laugh! The commentary, the game...the sewer mermaid 🧜♀️. Priceless! Florencio needs his version of the bat signal. Something we can shine into the night that will make SC2 players everywhere wonder if they r going to be molly whopped by the silliest strats.
Honestly brilliant yet dirty strategies !!! Sewer mermaid is apt AF !! 🤣🤣
Florencio....keeping Starcraft 2 great!
BEAUTIFUL.. this guy Florencio... will revive sc2 scene
I'm starting to love this channel. I'm not good at all, but just fascinated with SCII.
A few months ago I commented another game as "my favorite cheese". Now, the second game becomes my favorite. Such a dumb but interesting strategy.
Lowko managing to figure out wacky strategies literally exactly as the players play it in the following seconds slightly scares me
great game , as i was drinking my coffee almost spat it out after seeing the starport super great start XD
Absolutely amazing. I love it. Inspiring. A whole new level of thinking.
OMG, even I feel dirty now laughing at these strats, especially vs Protoss.
Great fun strategies of Florencio, I love it! It would be interesting to know his win-loss ratio, because we saw only the victories.
You would have to check my stream to watch how my games go.
Well, both of those games were dirty.
That's Florencio for you
That second game is the most gloriously silly thing I've seen in SC2
florencio games are always so entertaining xD
First game was uploaded by Flo on his channel two days ago :)
Lowko, you are the big Gouda!
1:43 He also caused a MASSIVE (-ly long) supply block with that.
Joe Black never made the depot in a different location.... He just waited until the normal spot became available again.
(In game: 1:52 until 2:26, although he cancelled an SCV in favour of the Orbital Command)
I can see that this is the first time Florencio tried to load scvs into a CC. He struggled a little with the interface, right-clicking the scvs, and so on. It works differently than with medevacs.Source: I did The Devil's Playground (in the terran campaign) relatively recently.
Florencio man... what an absolute madlad 🤣🤣
Expecting Flo to use his unique ability to utterly shatter his opponents brain and capacity to play SC2 at their usual level
FLORENCIOOOOOOOOOO
1:05 "joe black" could be a reference to coffee. sometimes people call coffee a "cup of joe" and "black" is one of the many flavors coffee can come in. kind of how like someone might make their name "GreenTea" or "PumpkinSpice"
That was literally a mainline brood war strategy. I haven't seen a siege tank push in so long, and cant believe it actually worked.. I used to be the best siege tank pusher ever.
3 mins in and i really see why his nickname is sewer mermaid! haha playing florencio would piss me off so much!!
This is NOTHING... as protoss he builds a nexus in your main out of sight and then recalls ALL his probes and 4-6 Zealots into your main. He has cannon rush down to an art, his cannons finish OUT of sight the same time as the hatchery does, in other words, NO chance to cancel if you dont spot them in time.
Florencio's version of a natural expansion(his first expansion base) is one of the map corners where you least expect a base.
This dude takes the "meta rule book" and pisses on it before burning it.
@@darkhowling6425 yea ive seen that but its toss.... so its more expected. haha. Im only plat terran so you kinda have to play cheesy/very aggressive at that level. Since "meta" play isn't an option about 65% of the time.
OMG I love it, just hope to never get him on the ladder. But I love it his strategies.
I wonder if the reason the lower ranked players don't follow normal build orders is that they don't have the micro to deal with cheese, and so play silly build orders to get beefy things like immortals out super early to deal with rushes
That second game was a nice surprise
Florencio is now my favorite.
Command Center SCV Drop Happens
*Dev Who Created This Mechanic 10 Years Ago:* "Wait...he did the thing? HE DID THE THING!"
The man is a proxying god
Florencio is always either high or drunk
The sewer marmaid strike's again
*Florencio build a rax*
Rax: okey time to build some units...why are you lifting me ?......where are we flying ? is that vikings and missle turret ? OH GOD...OH SHIT
Wow so dirty!
I love it
When he saw the barracks liberator and siege tanks. He should have just made double viking and possibly an additional star port. Then land vikings on tanks to end the aggression. Being no marines to stop that as the barracks are scouting. Cyclone was the only remote threat.
Got the name of the upgrade right for once. Although you did trick me a couple months ago asking what the raven upgrade was called.
Joe Black is potentially a reference to Meet Joe Black movie. Great film would recommend
thats neosteel armor. Mermaid will confirm that.
A while ago I travelled through Gouda on my way to Den Haag. I was very disappointed by the lack of cheese smell.
Also, as a German, written Dutch is perfectly fine - you can easily understand quite a lot without learning a single word - but spoken Dutch is so weird, you can't understand anything at all.
I don't know about the rest of you but I'm here to learn about literal cheese. My lexicon has been expanded, ty!
I just found out about Florencio 2 days ago... he's the fucking CHEESE KING. Totally fun and crazy strategies yet he can pull them off, I don't know what's his winning ratio but damn... this is entertaining as FK. The barracks for vision and also to force the opponent to lift buildings and thus halt army production... fucking genious
YOU DONT FORGET TO SMILE LOWKO!
SC3 Idea: Physics for buildings getting hit. Not just when they die, but when they're still functional. Imagine them getting blown off to the side a bit when a siege strike hits. Extra damage if it's by a cliff and it falls off the side! That'd be so %^&*ing cool!
Also, imagine a flying terran building falling when it reaches a certain HP, gets stuck. Still produces.
SCV Drop in opponents main with 2 BC at 9m... just wow that's dirty
Hey there! Joe Black is actually a movie where it's a guy and gal falling for each other but if I remember right he was an alien
What an epic play
Awesome games!
