En Taro Adun!
I am executor Smartanis. Today I will show you how to defend against cannon rush.
You should know, that this is more common to happen in maps with two spawn locations.
That's why you need to scout pretty early.
In our case, after starting the first pylon.
Note that the two workers meet exactly in the middle, which means that the arriving timing should be the same.
If you don't see the enemy probe by the time your probe has arrived, it's time to make some actions!
Send a probe to look for proxy pylons.
As soon as you have seen the proxy pylon, send five or more workers to attack it.
Meanwhile, we can see that the opponent is making a forge - a certain sign for a cannon rush.
Don't lose the enemy probe out of sight!
Try to kill the probe by surrounding it, but don't chase it if you fail. Focus on the buildings.
Always focus on the canon first - they are more expensive, have less health and take longer to build.
IMPORTANT! Don't forget to build workers and pylons!
From that point, it's just about time for your opponent to realize, that he has failed!
You have successfully defended a canon rush!
As your economy will be better, you should have no problems winning the game!
