ZVP - How to beat cannon rush

This is apparently how you beat a cannon rush with an aggresive switch to corsairs and then reavers. You're screwed... unless you're gosu and can pull this off.

iG.Bruce versus MYM_4leaf in this, bruce being the Zerg.

Game Analysis:
With starting 4 probes, 4leaf sends a probe and immediately finds zerg base, walls off choke with pylon and aggresively does cannon rush.

Bruce finds the cannon rush but it's too late - he immediately gets gas and techs to lair and hydras. As soon as lair is complete, he upgrades overlord transportation.

But here's where the corsairs come in! Corsairs from 4leaf come out and harrass bruce's overlords, killing 2 and leaving bruce crippled at 30/16 food count. It seems that it's pretty much game over when you see a robotics facility... AND A REAVER IS BUILDING!!

Suddenly, bruce gets overlord speeds and aggressively attacks! The attack wins the game... apparently this is how to beat a cannon rush the gosu way!

blue has 1 zealot

a cloud of corsairs with only 2 ovie kills

2 retard reavers that are caged
