The race was intentionally designed to be like that.

What makes me really salty is that terran doesn't have even 10% of the bullshiting capabilities of protoss.

Fuck asymetric design.

I'm disappointed Zest isn't featured.

His portrait would be located close to the top of this hall of fame (below has and sOs, of course) if he missed the bus to the SPL final yesterday.

Terran had the glory days of the 1-1-1.

Man I hated that build.

On topic: I am still laughing at the Has vs Jaedong game. It's glorious!

Back in 2008, i played in a tourney and did a canon rush (PvT on Colosseum) vs one of the favorite player of the tournament. That was very satisfying moment

The article AND all the cannon-rush fans who post their own favorites (Gaulzi, etc...) are the best thing ever

And on the sixth day, God created the cannon and it was good. It gave protoss dominion over the thirds of zergs and the ramps of terran. Everything was quiet and peaceful and perfect. And on the seventh day God rested and hit the liquor cabinet and he said: "fuck it, let's overcharge pylons!"

And on the eighth day God was hungover, saw what he did and created the man who could take full advantage of both.

It wasn't a huge tourney but this was probably the cleanest cannon rush I ever saw. The way he reallocated the resoucres by cancelling pylons in order to block drones was superb, I dunno how the Zerg was supposed to defend
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

My standby pvz opening after tsl 3 always included a pylon on their natural FFE with dropping a cannon on that pylon to stop them from doing anything but pool first and making a lot of lings at the start. SO much tears when they though it was a shitty opening when I had a safe expand before they did.

surprised it wasn't more popular.

Ah yes, the good old cannon rush.

I remember a 2v2 I had with a friend (who was Protoss himself) when we were up against double Protoss and I scouted double early Forge. They had the choice of cannon rushing me (a Terran who could lift his buildings) and my Protoss ally who would've died on the spot. They chose me. Guess they didn't want to cannon rush a fellow Protoss. I just lifted my buildings and they raged like mad while my ally built Immortals. Rage was still on going when we came knocking with Marauder/Immortal a few minutes later. (they kept building cannons at home)

My own personal funniest game was Viking rushing (no joke) a Zerg on Scrap Station during WoL.
I was Platinum at the time and just lost to three Diamond Zergs in a row. Wasn't feeling happy about it.
So what does the game do? Put me up against a Master Zerg. That should change things up! *flip table*

Annoyed, I figured I would just 2port Banshee the fucker since it was Scrap Station and I was not in the mood at all for another drawn out TvZ, least of all against a Master Zerg. But...somewhere a voice said 'but he's a Master. he'll know...', of course I only realized this when my Starports were already building so in a moment of randomness I figured....mass Vikings!

I'll just murder every Overlord I can find and perma-supply block him! Scrap Station is so close by air and has so much open space, I can just keep sniping Overlords! And....well...it....actually worked. He never got above ~70 supply the entire game. Keep in mind this was in WoL where Zerg still needed an Evolution Chamber to built Spore Crawlers.
And I knew Overlords always spawn near Hatcheries and Viking range was long enough to snipe them quickly.

And since Queens required supply and didn't mass spawn from larvae, all I had to do was keep an Evolution Chamber from finishing by landing enough Vikings to destroy it when he tried to build one. Which I did. He only had a handful of lings and two Queens when the first bunch of Vikings showed up and he never got to build more Queens. I won that game, utterly choking from the hilarity, against a Master Zerg with mostly just mass Vikings and some Marine/Tank back home defended by a Planetary at the natural (because why not).

I think I still have the replay (labeled HAHAHAHAHAHA.sc2replay if I recall correctly) somewhere.
Oh, and it wouldn't be complete without an OP hate call so the Zerg player stated Viking range was OP at the end. Heh.
Playing Terran is like flying down a MULE drop in a marine suit, firing a Gauss Rifle

Cannon rushing is the purest way to play SC2. Damn shame that they nerfed it in HotS.

I always loved this episode of Bronze League Heroes:


Cannon rush with 16 cannons.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

"Hall of fame"? Where's CombatEX? Gaulzi? Weedamins? C'mon now, these guys are the true cannon rush masters.
