ZvX 5 Roach Opener (ZvX Timing Attack)
Description
Similar to the 3-roach standard opener, but with hatch first so they are less likely to expect early aggression. The 5 roaches spawn about 20s later than the 3-roach opener.
With your initial 4 lings and 2 queens, drone up to 26/36. As soon as your roach warren finishes, build 5 roaches, bringing you to 36/36. Immediately get your overlord, followed by taking your third while the overlord is building. Scout with your overlord to draw them away from the front line.
During the attack, drone hard while building queens and taking ling speed. From here, you'll have an econ advantage if your attack went decently, and you can transition into a macro game.
