You mostly 9 scout in pvp, and you'll probably notice something is wrong, and you need to pounce on the probe and kill it. In tvp, you can lift off, and against zerg, you cant normally build there cause there's creep.

I remember the day this happened to me in bw, it was on that desert 2v2 map, he could wall himself off with one pylon, and my partner was bsing to make things worse lol. anyway, went 15 nexus so I used my expo and actually won from there!

Thank you for the heads up that I'll have to put a worker on any probes I see even faster than immediately now.

You should make a list of maps where this can be done on the ladder. I believe it's possible on Xel Naga and Shakuras, not sure if there are any other maps suitable for this.

Make them in his base with your scouting probe though, preferably with the same design to be super BOSS+1.

Thank you hot_bid. Finaly someone is taking a closer look at one of the more basic but heavily underused strats in sc2.

Thank you hot_bid for bringing the canon rush to a new level. It should be called the hot_bid build.

Haha pretty funny guide, I especially like that BW screenie of The Matrix quote.

Random question though that I dont think you covered, is it worth proxying your cannon + forge to hide it from enemy?

This reminds me of when Day[9] explained how Tasteless had the most annoying cannon placements ever. That he would ask his mother before he went to bed 'can you check under my bed for Tasteless' cannons morphing in?' :D

Great guide!
