I'm in bronze league and one of the things I struggle with is getting canon rushed. I usually have only 1 or 2 zealots by the time he starts building canons and they instantly own me and im screwed. what do you suggest?

I suggest you scout your opponents base...and your own, if you see proxy pylon, grab 6 probes and attack it. since your opponent is all in, it doesnt matter if you pull probes.

You need to scout the forge early, and then promptly build a forge. Then you need to build a pylon near your mineral line and stop any sort of cannons creeping into and hitting your probes. Build any other cannons you may need to stop him from destroying your other buildings.

In the meanwhile, put a probe and try and kill his probe building the cannons. If it's in bronze league he'll probably lose it. Stop probe production and get a zealot ASAP as well.

Can you tell us what kind of cannon rush? The cannon rush behind the minerals or the creeping one?

If its the creeping one, just counter attack with zealot + stalker.

If its the boss one, its probably too late to do anything once it happens. Counter attack with all probes + zealot and try to tie the game.

Also replays are helpful.

If he starts with lowgound pylons and has a cannon up before you notice it, immedatly get a forge yourself in a safe spot and build counter cannons. He can't build cannons in range of your cannons, so you will have a safe zone in which you can tech up to simply kill him.

If you notice it in time, get 4 probes per cannon (+1 for each ~10% it's completed) and kill them before they are complete. Don't overreact and try to kill them with ALL workers, it will just end up with all your workers not mining while his are mining, ending up having his weak eco be better than your non-existant eco and he will just cancel cannons and start them again somewhere else.
