Ever wanted to learn the art of the Cheesy Cannon Rush?
Download FREE Lesson Replay Pack!
It started out as a Terran attempt to innovate using relatively unused units such as the Ghost and the Battlecruiser until it quickly became apparent that a Terran cannot do the following with success above Diamond:
- Cloaked Ghost Rush
- Nuke Rushing (with or without Cloak)
- Battlecruiser Rush
- Mass Battlecruisers (ok, it worked a little)
A little disheartened, I turned my sights to the true imbalanced race - Protoss. Skimming through their tech tree a few units stuck out as being underused, namely the Carrier and Mothership. Defensive cannoning into Carriers and Mothership seemed to work alright, especially with gas steal to stop any higher tech from coming too early. Alas there were problems especially against Terran who could do stim-marauder timings off a single gas.
Unwilling to concede defeat, a wise prophet named Slowtoss highlighted the ability to offensively cannon a Terran to force a tech into Siege Tank which bought time for you to expand and do whatever the hell you want.
Why stop there though? Why not open forge against every race?
Well. Apparently you can open forge first in Diamond/Masters (actually I got promoted to Masters) as long as you can adapt properly. You'll need to learn to send two probes and decoy one, and how to patrol probes to deny nydus worms.
All is covered in this replay pack
(Ps. Contemplating taking this to the NA Server to see how much rage can be caused there...)
(Pps. Yes, I know this is cheesy, but moreover it's absolutely hilarious watching how poorly some people react. Rote learn SC2 more?)
IN THE INTERESTS OF PREVENTING DISPPOINTMENT. YES THIS ENTIRE REPLAY PACK IS CANNONS INTO CARRIERS WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS.
IF YOU ARE LACTOSE INTOLERANT OR OFFENDED BY CANNONS, I ADVISE NOT DOWNLOADING THIS PACK.
