Spawning Tool: Serral's Safe Macro Opener

Help us find the best build orders by creating an account and voting!

Description

This build is for my own purposes as a player looking to open safer against the endless barrage of cheese that I face.

This build opens with a gas, pool, hatch to get out 4 lings and a Queen early while still following the rough benchmarks that a hatch, gas, pool would follow.

Pro's pull from gas to gain extra minerals to start 3rd faster.

_6:00 Serral Benchmark: 61 drones, 1/1 on the way, centrifugal hooks on the way, 31 zerglings, 7 Queens, 4 Base starting._
