double cannon contain

Here’s a funny game. Jakub Trancik’s “let there be cannons” bot and Tscmoo protoss each cannoned up the other’s entrance. Then they both got stuck on “uh oh, my probe died, I need to send another probe out now!”

Jakub Trancik contains Tscmoo

The green disk below marks the probe being sent out, about to come into cannon visibility and die. Notice the low supply count.

Tscmoo contains Jakub Trancik

Jakub Trancik’s bot eventually did its zealot switch and won. If you can’t recognize that you’re contained, at least you could figure that it’s about time to try something new.

LOL. That's a common meme with cheese strategies when executed by bots. If any part of the process goes wrong, one often observes funny results in the end :D
