Quick ling flood build. Works best in zvp but can work in zvz too. Do not do it in zvt

First you're going to build two drones which supply blocks you. So you will build a gas, bringing you to 13/14 supply. Build a drone immediately. Cancel the gas. Now you should be at 15/14 supply (This is an Extractor Trick, It's what we like to call a "pro gamer move"). Save up minerals and go take a hatch. Now you're back at 14/14 supply, take a gas, build a drone (back at 14/14 supply again). Now build the pool. Fill the gas immediately. Build an overlord. From this point on you ONLY build overlords and lings. (if you build any drones you're just weakening the attack and you're a wuss) @ pool start ling speed and pull all three drones off gas. Start pumping lings and hiding them from any scouting probe. This is important. If the probe sees your lings and builds a battery before you arrive at the enemy natural, you're done and you may as well GG out. AT 230 NO EARLIER NO LATER, A move across the map. A move past the incoming adept you have other goals and cant waste time on meaningless adepts. Knock down the wall, take out the cyber, or take out the pylon powering the cyber. You NEED to stop warp gate. Either by depowering it or killing it. From there on its normal target priority.
ZvZ This is scouted easily by a competent zerg. If theyre incompetent then you'll easily flood a crap load of ings on them before they know what hit them. E Z win.

It's only if they have a battery and or cannon doown before you get there. If it's just a unit in the wall you will break though as long as u continue rallying lings across the map as fast as possible.

NA D2 for context on opponent quality...
In ZvP, you can consider not hiding. If your OL scouts an early nexus you can often unpower the wall and that’s an immediate GG. If they got three structures and a unit in the wall before you’re there, then yes, hold.
In ZvZ, the meta has gotten so cheesy that the build isn’t what it used to be.

And you got some balls using it vs terran dude, even ling bane vs a hellion opener meta is not the best idea. I can see it working though, thats for sure

whoever is downvoting this, this is a well known build i think made popular by scarlett years ago. It's nothing i invented myself. I'm just sharing the information if anyone is having zvp probe lems

This has been working well for me on the ladder. I also find that its pretty good for terran as well. Only slight difference i do is after Zergling boost I keep 2 on gas and when i get enough morph a Baneling nest with of the drones on the mineral line. You have more minerals to spend than larva comes out. following the rest, you should overrun their natural and then can morph in around 4-5 Banelings while you wait outside their main to create a hole. from there its just flood till you win.
The meta seems for terran is firebats and mines these days so by the time you create a hole its already too late for the terran to pivot fast enough. From there its just rally lings till you win.
