Analysis
This build is focused more towards beginners and intermediate players. I see a need for a more meta focused build order that tries to stretch its web across all three matchups (ZvZ, ZvT, ZvP).
You want to pull two off gas when you hit 60 gas. (ZvT back on gas at 3:30, ZvP back on gas with the next two larva rallied into geyser, ZvZ optional). This build also takes a second gas at two base saturation which is not exactly meta but I think its ok for low level. Normally you would wait until three base saturation.
At three base saturation 1. 4th base 2. all gasses 3. macro hatch In that order, immediately! This sets you up for later and gets your gas income really going. This is now the beginning of your power spike (66 workers 6 gasses, 3+ bases) This is when you can really start producing good amounts of army. I suggest you keep droning and get to at the least 80 drones and the most 88-90. That would be the peak of your power spike and when you can start producing anything you want. 50 drones by 5 minutes and 80 drones by 8 minutes is a good time frame. This build gets three creep queens. I suggest going up to 4 in ZvT, 2 at least in ZvP, and 2 in ZvZ. Don't tech into hydras too early, they suck without upgrades, and lurkers are too expensive to get early as well. Get your economy set up first. 4+ bases, all gasses, and 80+ drones, then you can think about lurkers. When you start hive start spire just in case (Always) @ hive lurker upgrades and greater spire. I get an ultra den in replay just for the hell of it. Its probably not a good idea as you haven't been getting melee upgrades. If you're higher level you can add vipers and wait to take gasses until three base saturation. I also get a bane nest in the replay, Its not necessary as you're using lurkers for AoE. But if you're vs a Terran bio composition it may become vital you add banes. You cannot expect to win vs Bio tank with roach ravager hydra. It just doesn't work. When lurkers come out its fine but until then its dangerous.
