The GENIUS way of dealing with Cannon Rushers | King of Cannons #19 - StarCraft 2 

2nd opponent is an amazing Russian player named KingCobra. I think he is about 6.5k and he is the god of cannon rushes. It was like watching a teacher toy with a student.

The 2nd opponent was badass. That was some great decision making in the face of an experienced cheeser

omg, that made me so happy to see printf beat Gustav after he called him an imposter 😆

The 2nd opponent is commonly known as KingCobra

By far the best defense of a cannon rush I've ever seen is where a Terran defends a cannon rush that walled themselves into a corner by loading 5 scvs into the CC then lifting the CC over top of the enemy probe behind its wall where he cant move to and drop them onto it to kill it, while using the remaining SCVs to attack the outer wall at the same time. No hesitation, truly epic. It was such a chad move it made the protoss gg.

Really happy to see PrintF back in action! If this is your first time watching King of Cannons, there's another 18 episodes in the playlist :) ru-vid.com/group/PLFUDU8AOevUc-JGoqf5rE1PKuLmJ7hgfw

Instead of calling him Vlad, I like Protossovich

I miss Flo Files.

Al'fariy a.k.a. Альфарий a.k.a. KingCobra was an absolute chad, as i know he likes cannon rushes himself!

So happy to see printf back. His & Ruff’s series are my favorites.

Vlad taking out the artosis pylon led him to a swift victory. Very smart play from him. He handled the canon rush pretty well also

What's unique about printf for me is that if the cannon rush does not work he still tries to play/win the game. Usually they just quit the moment it's shutted down

Was wondering what happens when printf comes across a Russian protoss

PiG, you know that Vlad and Vladimir are two different names, not short and long versions of one.

Wow!! Альфарий played this like a real genious!! Hiding the Void Rays on the top of the map was a killer move!

Printf doesn't know that nexus has recall ability

Russian at 10:06 is KingCobra, great video as always PiG🥓

Vlad is actually Alpharius.

Alpharie is the cyrillic guy

The second opponent's name stands for «Alpharius» - Warhammer maybe?

very decisive plays by second player. quite impressive

Hmmmm I think, that in the first game, I'd try a warp prism + probe and a corner base mayb? I saw that printf was checking the corners but still, maybe it would pay off if done early and with proper scouting Gustav could try to break contain while printf would go for 2nd or warp in bigger army on the 2nd to defend and go for main.

This is why I don't play protoss anymore...pvp is bullshit... I'm much more comfortable with those long TVTs

You're thinking of Vlad the Impaler, although there may have been another one.

Aww as soon as I saw Alfariy offensively stargate I was worried he might lose since it's obviously a waste on him which also gives a defender's advantage. Granted, if he didn't know who printf was I wouldn't blame doing it much.

Very interesting games ! Some questions though : - We saw the slavic opponent did recall his stalkers at home shortly after Printf decided to runby a handful stalkers. Yet, he didn't have an observer on the map. How did he know about the runby ? Did I miss something ? - On a Printf side note : - I know he would consider this blasphemy, but actually if neither players dies, past a certain point of the game, time is what beats Printf... since he never expands, while his opponent eventually do. I know he almost considers this from an artistic point of view, but staying on one base is the single decision he never questions, yet nearly always end up losing to if the game lasts. Just the thoughts of a amateur admiring his execution though. Thanks for the share, PiG ! 😃

14:14 - Count Dracula was Vlad The Impaler.

Love printf, and love to see a cannon rush get shut down even more.

about 7:30 in you take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Mad Vlad, Protossovich, Cannon Comrade, Vasily Void I can go on and on, but this KingCobra guy seems awesome. I hope there's more of his games shown in the future.

When ur comments dont conform to the character they try to paint you as! It's moments like THIS, you're glad you got yourself covered! "Then we will DO WITHOUT hope! There is always VENGEANCE!" (c) Aragorn

After binge watching uThermal vids, I've become a bit spoiled by pro player micros. It's difficult to watch these guys play. Half the time, I'm yelling at the screen to micro their units around when they attack, haha

8:45 pull your probes! Send them to attack! They won't be doing anything at all at home anymore so send them to attack the enemy and they might at least soak some damage which could make the difference! :))

Printf? he a c or c++ programmer?

Альфарий is likely to be Alpharius from WH40k

Cool games. Thanks PIG

Second opponent's name is Alfariy (or, if you want it localized, Alfarius).

I have the most respect for cheesy players that proudly show who they are with their name instead of barcoding.

The 2nd game b y Vlad is so brilliant. Thanks for the amazing commentary PiG

Both printf and alfariy are absolute chads, such fun to watch the games

These were some of the few games of StarCraft 2 that actually made me yell out loud. 10/10

Glad Vlad was such mad lad

glad people still submit games they lose, assuming it was still an awesome game :)

Pls cast more printf videos! Super entertaining.

printf is a command in programming, so yes, probably he is a programmer =)

Goo Stav.

Cannon Rancher deserves a spin-off franchise.

ayyyy more dirty filthy cannon rushes

Cheese is my favorite food group

nothing like spamming 0:00 a little before we start the video

Lol he named a russian guy vlad.

Vlad played like an absolute boss

PRINT F! PRINT F! PRINT F! PRINT F!

Awesome cast.

Love the content Pig, I miss flo files tho :-((

Good stuff!

exactly why I quit this game, too many legacy of the void ray players after cannon rushing

Thanks!

breh

Anyone know what server and league printf plays in?

I swear I played printf and raged and he quit and gave me the win, or maybe he just won not sure, if I won I would love to find that replay. Unless it was just an imposter if that's a thing. Learning a lot about protoss. Defending cannon rushers with all races is kinda fun, and bunker rushes. I don't see as many spore crawler rush's it's been a while.

Cannon rushes are for noobs I see players tap out when it doesn’t work It’s so lame There’s always a cannon rush and if that doesn’t work, mass voids. It’s talentless

1-base or die, I also follow that rule, on Random.

Printf, the worst type of player in the StarCraft community.. random cheese is fine, only cheese is pathetic... Please stop giving those type of players a platform.
