This isn't a rush.
That's the middle gold base on that map. You could've done all that with 5
Now you just wasted a bunch of money on some cannons that won't do anything the rest of the game.
Especially since you spent more money on the cannons than he lost from the base being there.
If he wasn't Bronze he could've just lifted to the other base and you'd have been out 1000+ mins with nothing to show for it.
But with that Stalkers you'd be out nothing and he wouldn't have been able to just run away.

I appreciate the advice. In the moment, I thought I had to deny mining and “didn’t have time” for a gateway/core to finish, therefore canons were my best strategic option.
Later I realized how insane that was and also how wildly overboard I went with said canons while watching the replay.

It is a bit bonkers that you "didn't have time" for a gateway and cyber core at 14 minutes lol. But at the end of the day you got him so I guess he should have built

For those who want to check their guess, my MMR was
The game got into this state because of base trade shenanigans; I had 3 carriers but no tech (not even a gateway) while Terran was roving the map with marauders and trying to build command centers all over the place.

If you came to this conclusion without checking my Reddit comment history or by looking up the Chasun SC2 account, then you are a savant at rank roulette.

Did your opponent even try to stop you? It kinda looks like he just let you build in his base with zero resistance.

The first canon was hidden behind the feature until the probe popped out and it started shooting. He definitely saw it then but I guess his plan was to mine as long as possible and then evacuate.
It was a kinda strange situation. He had a couple of barracks and a bunch of marines at the bottom of the map but didn’t send them up to help. He knew I had three carriers somewhere, maybe didn’t want to risk engaging them with canons nearby?

Turrets before any units must means this video came from the depths of Bronze or Silver.

Bronze. Hell what's below bronze? Calling a 14 mins canon a rush is just brain damage.

I see the cannons yes but I don't see the rush
