Thank you so much for this blog. I JUST played QuiksLvR on ladder and 10 pooled as well as drone patrolled, knowing he would probably do this. I'm not sure if this was his plan, but either way I won thanks to the 10 pool. Thanks guys.

Isn't it a bit to cheesy for you ?

Edit: also soundwave, if you 10p you don't need to patrol the drone, the 10p guarantee's that if they do the normally timed 3 pylon block it will fail. Any later pool and your still susceptable to it.

Why is it named this? Is it a cannon that fires *****, or a **** that is literally a cannon?

I demand less ambiguity on such an important matter.

Instead of complaining about it, just learn to effectively counter it. It's very easy to do. Once you reach that point, you'll WELCOME every idiotic Protoss who attempts this against you because they'll just be shooting themselves in the foot economically, and delaying their own expansion. They often transition out of failed-pylon-block to 4-gate or dt's and either way you win.

Just patrol a drone there for gods sake. Yes that strat is utter horseshit but the economic loss isnt even that bad.

When I lose a half hour macro game vs a toss im never like OH GOD I SHOULDNT HAVE PATROLED MY DRONE AT 2.20 FML IM SO SHIT.

I don't know if you hatched first there, but people do it against pool firsts, especially on Korea. It is perfectly fine against hatch first, but being forced to patrol a drone when you open with a less economic build is just completely ******* stupid game design. There will be games where the pylons go up vs a pool first just because you weren't fully alert and it turns into a 1 base crappy all in or 2 minutes behind the protoss macro game.

And the drone-mineral stack is not reliable in the slightest. It works on minimal maps and If you try it and it doesn't work for whatever reason that is an instaloss
