Flo switched to StarCraft 2 in November 2010 and placed second in SC2goesFemale #4 about a month later. She then won SC2goesFemale #5 in May 2011 and Iron Lady Bunny Cup #1 in July, all of which were female-only tournaments.
Flo also started attending MLG in August 2011 and got quite some attention when she faced White-Ra in the losers bracket of MLG Anaheim.
She was a member of the female clan PMS for some time in mid-2011, but later left the clan.
In November 2011, Flo attended Zowie Divina, a female-only invitational tournament in China with 6 invites and 10,000$ prize pool. She managed to reach the playoffs with a convincing 4-1 record in group stage, only losing to ColaGirl. She then narrowly defeated SsQ in the first round, therefore proceeding to the finals against aphrodite. She eventually lost 2-0, therefore taking the second place of the event.
One week later, flo attended 2011 MLG Providence, and was defeated in the first round of the open bracket by Jinro. She was eventually eliminated of the tournament after her loss against a relatively unknown Terran player in losers bracket round 3.
Flo was scheduled to participate in DreamHack Winter 2011, but eventually couldn't attend, and was subsequently replaced by Seala [2].
On December 22nd 2011, flo joined Quantic Gaming [3].
