If I recall correctly the cannon rush was easy to stop if you were intelligent on BGH in all positions except top center. The best part about cannon rushing top center was after the cannon went down your probe had the ability to glitch through the minerals and keep building more cannons if necessary.

ONEwbc has been doing this for a long time. It's actually quite difficult to stop unless you know it's coming... and most players only pull ~4 workers to deal try and kill pylons, when you need more to stop this (hitting two pylons at once is necessary if they are already down).

I just realized it's actually viable to cannon rush terran since you can wall off the ramp to prevent their workers from escaping

My win ratio just went up 33%.

if we are talking about serious reactions to it, if they actually get the pylon block up, just chrono out a zealot, save up 400. expand. chrono out probes. start mining from expansion as necessary. make 2nd zealot and attack with first. continue playing as normal.

Can't cannon rush a good player in any position on bgh because it's extremely easy to glitch 2 workers over.

i had someone do this to me.. i nearly freaked out (would be embarrassing on an epic scale if i lost to a cannon rush)

i sent all my probes to attack and held... i think it woulda worked if there weren't some gaps in the minerals for my probes to surround...i kept at least one probe on the chase

marines can snipe pylons while staying away from cannons quite easily though

I hate cannons, all I can say. The fact that this is a standard build is as if 6 pool had become a standard, except that you can counter it...

Boss cannon Rushing is only good for PvP.

T, you just lift and float to your natural.

Z, You should have Creep behind your mineral anyway so it won't work.
