Drones what? Do you know how many drones it takes to kill 1 building cannon, let alone 2? 4 each. That means you are not mining So unless you can stop the cannons from being placed, you will lose that hatch unless your pool timing is just right.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

i'm pretty sure he just masses probes while scouting and if he sees a pool he gets a gate and if he sees an early hatch he gets a forge....


Yeah, this is what he does 90% of pvz... People find it weird since he goes 15 gate/15 forge usually since he's waiting on intel. I can't watch video right now but I guarantee that's what he does.

Vs the 14/15 hatch he gets the forge, masses cannons, and right as they're about to die he cancels and keeps making more. Until the Zerg cancels hatchery, or they will try to fight and Zerg lose almost always.

I like it, if you go for a FE behind your forge on a pool first opening the zerg is basically all in. If he doesn't do damage your expo is up faster and he'll have a hard time catching up in drones without being weak to any kind of attack.

@Yoshi

No. You can cancel the cannons and be only about 150 minerals behind, and simply set up a fast expansion of your own with cannons. Again, the main strength of this build is its flexibility. Also, 2 cannons aren't easy to take out, especially if they are by the pylon so neither they nor the pylon can be surrounded.


Ok thanks for responding

It's just a cannon rush, it is not?

Not at all. This strategy is to put cannons behind their expansion to delay it significantly and let you survive past the mid-game weakness of protoss. It is MUCH less all in, you only invest in a few or even just one cannon, and transitions out into almost any other kind of build, pretty fast expands, timing pushes, 2 base collosi, and many other strategies.

In that situation, as the zerg, I like to go Free Bird on his ass, or maybe a little Thunderstruck with Ultras if I'm feeling frisky.

To be honest... I'm more in favor of going for the famous hack a Dominion nuke facility somewhere on the planet using the technology I should be able to use to kill everything instantly, and launch a nuke at the guitar. The reach build will have a problem, without the guitar you know?

Ohh i see what you mean mindflow. Umm, yeah lategame protoss is unstoppable, and midgame is where zerg really shines. However, their midgame units of choice (mutas hydras (now a fragile but powerful tier two unit) ) which crush gateway opposition, gets rolled by a six gate timing push (a 2 base push that happens just as mutas and hydras are coming, and there is not enough of them to survive). If the zerg fears that push, he cannot go for his strong midgame harrassment with mutas or his strong (vs. gateway) hydra. Even if he can get them out without dying, zealots with charge (a more expensive, slightly less good version of BW zealot leg speed) will kill them, and collosi (laser splash damage dealer) will roast them due to their pitiful hp.

It is still a cannon rush, regardless of what comes afterwards, and a well made cannon rush is never all in.

If you'd like it to be that way. However, think of it more as a cannon contain, not a cannon RUSH per se.
