I need a cannon rush sensei

So all i've been doing in SC2 the last few days is cannon rushing. When i'm bored, i'll login to bnet, queue up for a random 3v3, 4v4 or FFA, and cannon rush. However, despite my experience, i'm still but an amateur. All it takes to defend my cannon rushing is a bronze league player who completely overreacts to it and pulls each and every worker he has onto my probe. Now this shouldn't be a problem, right? Well, I seem to have some trouble building cannons/pylons while being chased by workers. My probe will decellerate to build the building, then it will get blocked by the enemy workers before it gets plopped down. How do I drop buildings in this situation? I can't seem to do it consistently so i've taken to trapping myself behind minerals instead which is ok, but i'd like to be able to go back to old fashioned slow push with cannons inside my enemies base.


note: i have no idea what sensei means

Try teching to robo right away, dropping probes on the cliffs in the 4v4 map (Extinction), and building cannons up there. It's pretty hilarious.

Sensei means teacher or doctor.

Overlords cant attack, silly.

A big mistake I see people do when trying to cannon rush is doing it on the side with the zerg, either the creep expands or they get spotted, try and put it on toss / terran's side, or even in the middle.

Although it is for BW it might help.

I forget how the mineral patches are in sc2, but the main idea is to either hide your first pylon and cannons just off his vision in his base and then move up or if you can just make a wall with your first pylon between the minerals and the edge of the map and then fit one or two cannons behind his minerals so he can't mine while you move back into normal play.

I do not condone any of this in public games however.

cannon rushing sure takes a lot of skill and manliness to pull off.
