Analysis
Serral opens perfectly standard with a Hatch first, he discovers that Showtime is going for Phoenix play after scouting at 4 minutes. He immediately makes 3 spores, then goes for a Lair, Roach Warren and 2 extractors.
For now, Serral scouts the front of the enemy base for units and for a potential 3rd base so he has some idea of how the Protoss is spending his money and how safe he is. In the meantime, Serral is just macroing up while making some Lings and defending against the Phoenix.
At (5:10) the Roach Wareen finishes, Serral has droned his 3rd for the most part and has 3 gases on the go...now he starts making Roaches and gets Roach speed. Just before Roach speed finishes (6:15) Serral marches across the map, while still constantly making units for reinforcements and aims to push and kill the 3rd base, greatly strangling the Protoss's economy.
Serral decides that he should bring his Queens for the attack and takes 5 of them _(leaving 1 for each Hatchery at home)_ as without them the Phoenix would have free reign over his Roaches/ Ravagers. (Personally I would think about building at Nydus at maybe _(5:40ish)_ so that the Queens don't have such a long travel time and he can reinforce/ harass with it aswell.
Serrals push hits at the 7 minute mark.
Serral destroys the 3rd and does enough damage to force the Protoss into an all-in otherwise Serral will get further and further ahead. When Serral realised that the push would not finish the game, he made a Hydra den, 3 extractor more extractor going to 6, a 4th base and an evo chamber. He would make 2 evo's but he needs the money for the oncoming push from the Protoss. Serral makes just units from now (Ling, Roach, Ravager) and crushes the push, finishing the game.
