Also against protoss you can pre-emptively take your third as your second base. If they cannon that, you can just give it up and take your natural. The advantage of this is that the cannon rush does not impact you getting troops out of your main, so it is not a big deal if protoss is left with some cannons there after they take out the hatch.,

When I used to play Starcraft II online (10 years ago); those kinds of encounters are very common. When you play enough sessions and are confident in your abilities to deal with those kinds of encounters; you simply treat the opponent as if you were playing against the A.I.

could have made it sound so much better saying " i accept ur surrender "

You handled that really well. Even had back up ready

you madam handled it better than Artosis would have.

Hahaha. This reminds me of a game in which SOS was using Stats' account and got cannon rushed, SOS initially told Stats not to worry but then ended up losing. SOS had to ask his opponent to leave so that Stats can keep his mmr. Stats was rofl in the background. It was hilarious.

lol she dealt with that cheeky cannon rush like it was a minor nuisance that got to hurt the ego

the person reacting with "ty" to "Yes i do mind" really doesn't seem to understand that this is going to "sorry, i'm not leaving"

This was nice to see

Big oof imagine cheesing, then failing cheese, then going into another cheese, and failing again, and then having the audacity to ask you to surrender lol

Played out of your MIND. Vwp.

My favorite was defending an all-in rush in Command and Conquer that was considered best strategy only to be called a noob f***t and ragequit.

Nice job!

I'm not sure why this was recommended to me, but I watched the whole thing. Your APM gave me an absolute nosebleed. Maybe this is why I play slower/turn-based Strategy games. You're clearly very good! I do love me some Zerg!!

Cannon rush was not behind the mineral line which meant first cannon was out of range of the hatchery allowing it to finish and give her time to get static defense and zerglings out
