When performed by someone with good micro like PartinG it seems practically unbeatable, only counter is 12 pool or something to stop it from getting up to begin with. When good players do it they don't even need to cannon the natural, they'll just do it outside your base and win. | ||

I'm no expert at cannon rushing, but iirc 12pool is not actually a good counter for it. | ||

I saw Stephano beat Parting trying to cannon rush lmao Furthermore, if a build is unbeatable, why don't progamers do it every game? Do they lack the expert knowledge? | ||

Because if you mess it up and lose you just look stupid. That's why players like sOs succeed, because they don't care how it makes them look, a win's a win. | ||

Your impressions about the strength of the build order doesn't trump Protoss' persistent lack of success in the match-up. If it's actually broken we'd see it more. | ||

Despite his crazy proxy nexus or carrier rush shenanigans. | ||

It's not literally unbeatable but despite how long the build has been around it seems like Zergs just can't deal with it consistently. Some try nydus, some try mutas, most try ravagers, some try lings/queens, and there doesn't seem to be any strategy that beats it with any real consistency. It reminds me of immortal/sentry in 2012 where it's just so hard to hold even if you are aware its coming. If you do any build EVERY game people will just blind counter it, not that I have any idea what a blind counter would be. | ||
