This is almost as manly as the time Bisu built two gateways in his opponents base in a televeised game.. and won.. i forget who it was against.. some chobo.. but it was sooo damn manly..


pokju i believe. I tried doing that in sc2 and it's actually pretty easy to pull off in pvp

Yeah pokju that was the last game he played because he quit after that embarrassment in the face of so much bisu manlyness

Everyone above silver. They can often escape by right clicking on a mineral and you just wasted a bunch of mining time.

Yeah I tried but there seems to be an error with the ban system, it says something about permission unsufficient or something.

Will have to talk to an admin about this I suppose.

Yeah definitely need to fix that asap! lol

Nice guide Hot_Bid. I watched you boss it up with this rush on jp's stream yesterday. I'll have to try this out.

Haha this is hilarious :D

Did some cannon rushes but failed, obviously I'm not manly enough. It definitely doesn't work on all maps, so stick to the ones hotbid has outlined

...That's fine, but it doesn't help this cannon rush survive.

As someone that plays way too many team games in his free time I can tell you that this will not work vs a player in team games that I like to call "having a pulse." Someone that understands how to build in situations like these. In some of your screen shots it looks like it takes 3 pylons to wall yourself in at the start, does the Protoss have 300 minerals that fast? Plus once I see the first pylon go down, I would bring some scvs to help block the remaining areas of the "closed in location."

Either way isn't this a strategy and should be in the strategy forum? O_Oa


You gotta understand how early in the game this rush comes along. There is no gate, there are no additional pylons needed in your base, means you basically will build those wall-in-pylons faster than the cybernetics core in a normal build.

Of course a player who is on top and knows its coming would be able to prevent the 2 additional pylons...but on the other hand..you wait for 300 mins and you place those pylons in a matter of perhaps 2-3 seconds...

Highly unlikely that someone who does not suspect this will be able to pull probes in time after the first pylon get warped in.


And I'm telling you, I've seen it all and would know how to handle this the split second a probe comes into my base. Remember he would also have to have a pylon back at home to build a forge. We are talking 250 minerals just for that as well. Then the 300 minerals for pylons at my base. I just don't see this being effective vs strong players.

I've seen Much in BW perform the BOSS Cannon Rush. Can't remember the particulars; he had to improvise a little and I'm not sure it did him any good, but it sure confused the hell out of his opponent.

I'm doing this in PvP since the patch was released because I'm waiting for new builds which I can steal
On Tal'darim+Shakuras I got my own FE build now though.

But I'm hoping that the Gigabyte final with its PvPs will revolutionize the Metagame.

I'm using both, BOSS cannon rush and hidden cannon rush :D Mixing it up!

Making a gateway next to someone's Nexus? Boy, I wonder where I've seen that before.

Hot_Bid puts a lot of thought in his cannon rushes

Hot_Bid, I head you have the sickest cheese. Maybe you can write a weekly guide for all of them and call it Bossing it up with Hot_Bid ;p

I can't believe it. As a zerg i can't do such things... I think it's imbalanced! I can only spine rush my own base which is not a good idea above copper.
Anyway, it seems i can not be a Boss because i don't play protoss
