StarCraft II: How to Cannon Rush

Here’s a quick lowdown of the early-game cannon rush:

  1. Build a Probe and make it gather minerals.
  2. Build another Probe as the first finishes.
  3. As the second probe finishes, build a Pylon next to your Nexus and rush out to the enemy base with the Probe. I usually hotkey the Probe 1, and the Nexus 2.
  4. Depending on the size of the map, you can either warp in another Probe while you traverse the map or save the minerals. You should probably build a Probe on the larger maps. If you do, use a Chrono Boost on the Nexus to pump it out faster.
