At this point I think PiG might actually be the Joker of SCII trying to destroy the game by upsetting the social order and getting everyone to turn on each other.
Got yelled at on ladder because I'd seen this b4, scouted it and just went straight to blink stalker and expand. They never expanded so I think I got a bit lucky.
You need to update that strat somehow. To go full florentio, you have to play with your victim longer and make him believe that he still can win multiple times before you actually crush him at the forty minute mark.
Was there a reason to stop having a couple queens along in the Nydus to spread creep and defend? That seemed like a great amount of annoyance for little investment.
Tryed this build three times vs terran, didn't work or go well. I did the same exact build as PiG played just a little bit worse ( Im Diamond) and tryed it in unranked, lost to 3x BC rushes. Haven't tryed it vs toss yet, but vs terran you got to get lucky not playing vs bc rushers.
Yeah just put an observer to watch when they come out and have your stalkers just out of vision, then when you see them release, blink, kill the nydus quickly and then clean up.
It does to an extent, but engaging swarm hosts with locusts up using stalkers is very difficult to do cost efficiently, esspecially if you're trying to blink onto the nudus to keep them from teleporting away. And thats before you remember that it's meant to hit before the opponent figures out what youre doing and counters it. Once the swarm hosts hit they'll seige you down and no units you can have will be able to adequately defend. The real strat, as pig has explained a couple of times, is to triple expand into both corners and build infrastructure everywhere. Then you can just macro up and counterattack the zerg whenever they hit you with a locust wave. Swarm host can attack, but they struggle to defend and get obliterated by counterattacks.
@@Santisima_Trinidad blink stalkers and shield batteries would force the zerg to commit the locusts to either fight stalkers that can just leave or ignore them and target infrastructure. If you have 15 stalkers then the locusts get gunned down if they ignore or they have to drop in an ineffective place. You don’t snipe nydus’s with the stalkers unless you have already killed locusts. You bait the locusts and basically deflect them until you can drop 20 chargelots in their main.
@@TheMuffinman191 locusts are free. The zealots in the zergs main is an excellent idea, but getting to that point by trying to get the zerg to care about the locusts sounds like a terrible strategy. You'll just constantly be losing workers and various bits of infrastructure for bassically free, excepting the occasional nydus worm.
@@Santisima_Trinidad Locusts are not free. They cost time and a lot of it. Both to get and to use. You can walk 5 stalkers to their base in the time it takes to recharge locusts. You can just leave the area until they die. You’ll lose a couple pylons maybe but you’ll be fine. If they get enough to kill bases then you fucked up cause you could absolutely kill them wayyyy before that.

Naw, Protoss did that single handedly since the 2020 balance patch.
"...some details," (at 0:19) gave me some Joker-ish vibes. The persona slipped out there😄
Get everyone to turn on eachother? Bruh that’s just the NA ladder.
it's not about the money it's about sending a message
Thanks for using my build. You've improved more.
That evil chuckle of pigs tells you this is a fun build.
I loved Swarm Hosts ever since and now I got the perfect silly built to shove them into all my enemies faces and bases.
I love it
Love how pig has the personality and the ability to hilariously play and cast simultaneously. So under rated!
"Made by stupid people, for stupid people"
The best advertising slogan I have ever heard.
That protoss brain must've been totally fried after that
Haven't lost with this build from the moment I've heard of it - thanks man :D
We need more swarm host/nydus action. Like a lot more
I got bodied by this exact build about a week ago (twice). Very evil.
Can you get Reynor or one of the pros to do this strat?
So much fun to Watch!!
I only terran and I am a super noob, mostly goin only widow mines. So these goofy tilting strats are golden for me 😏🎉
I’m ready to hate this build even more when I see it on ladder lmao
Pig: Florencio merely adopted the sewer, I was born in it.
i love the condescending laughter everyone ehe, get rekt by 1base nydus :)

my new favorite "series" by now ^^

All the Protos had to do in the beginning of the game is to send 2 oracles and kill most of your drones, then he would have won.
Looks like a fun build. Now that you're adding details, then put an Overlord at each base to avoid sneaky bases :-)

This build looks so oppressive!

PIG has gone full Florencio
Damn, that build really is dirty... I like it lol.
That was dope
I love this build 😂 sc2 is such a fun game
Love this content.
What's the map to test units against eachother?
pog you cheeky bastard
One base swarm host has been making high level team games unplayable for years.
More!
Allright Allright Allright :)
Love this shit.
trying to think of how to defend this as terran
Zerg still seems such an underdog
I feel like this build gets dunked on by competent blink stalker usage and 1 prism

Pretty sure mass Ling beats this in zvz
if you had burrow....
3:33 that’s too arseh0le even as another zerg myself.. 😢😢😑
Can you tell me in what league i can 1v1 you?
M1/GM
ty
This is actually disgusting
This build is so cringe.
Yopur 196 Ping is ALOT different than mine..
SC2 is a dumpster fire 🔥
Yeah.. I don't see how this is good for the game or community...
It works because it's not common. I think it's fine.
@@MareHazyDawn yes but it glorifies these builds and mostly because he's playing them at lower mmr. The community is shrinking fast enough as is.
