Analysis
My early game is ok, but my macro is way worse than Lambo's so you could actually have an extra 15 supply when the build ends. If someone can make a better version of this, please upload it.
The goal of this build is to be safe against proxy barracks and potentially kill the scv & marine in the natural.
-If their reaper stays at home (unlikely), don't go into their natural with the lings
-If their reaper goes to your base (most likely), send the zerglings around the reaper path to hide them
-If they go marine first, send the lings straight across
-If they go cc first or reactor first, you won't be able to get any damage with the first 4 zerglings
This build order is a guide against standard 1-1-1 bio, so you'll have to make some changes against other strategies
-If you scout 2-1-1, make a baneling nest and evolution chamber at 4:00 and make zerglings & queens after 45 drones
-If you scout a bc/hellbat timing, make a roach warren at 4:00 with immediate roaches, and spores at 4:50
-Against mech, make a roach warren at 5:00 instead of a baneling nest
-Against double starport battlecruiser, make a spire as soon as the lair is finished
