Safe Roach Opener - Original by PiG (ZvP Economic)

Description

Please comment when you lose a game using this opener and tell me why you think you lost. It doesn't have to apply to the build order, just tell me.

The original build order was published by PiG in 2018. (https://lotv.spawningtool.com/build/68954/) I've removed the mid-late game parts of his build and made it purely an opener. I've also removed some static defenses based on his scouting.You may need to add spores/spines in if you see the correct push coming.

The meta in 2018 (at least in ZvP) was somewhat similar in that it was a Roach Hydra Lurker based build against Chargelot Archon type builds. Today, Stalker-Colossus seems to be popular and Zealot-Stalker rush. The amount of Roaches you will have at the time you may get rushed is a great advantage, and with the powerful early Roach push, you also get the chance to scout the toss. I, for one, have trouble scouting in mid-late game because I'm too chicken to send an Overlord or Overseer across the map. I hope to be using this in the future, as it seems a great ZvP style. PiG, Thank you for publishing your original!
