Here is a fresh replay from the EU ladder on Antiga where I win with a counter: http://drop.sc/175691 | ||

The better the cannon rush, the less mistakes your opponent can make etc, but they are all stoppable. | ||

I even grabbed my gas as soon as I saw it but he still managed to win by mineral walking and spamming pylons. I think they should fix that issue and remove that doodad. It gives far too much of advantage to the aggressor. It's too easy to abuse and requires way more skill and almost no mistakes to hold off compared to the minimal effort required to pull it off.As mentioned, on some maps cannon rushes are just impossible. Antiga 3pylon+2cannon inside seems unbeatable, I figured the best players must know how to counter it, so I tried it couple games against top GM tosses in ladder. Well I messed up and lost both times, but after a chat with them they shared my opinion: if you don't get to block it, you can't win it fair. And well, it's not really easy to block either | ||

Than send more workers to scout? Again failure to scout is your problem. It is as in ANY build, trade off between safety and economy. Either you play greedily and accept that you get screwed sometimes, or you play safe. | ||
