Description

This is a hydra/ling timing reynor did while grinding to #1 on korean ladder. This is likely a bit map specific, but if he can beat the top of the ladder with it, you can beat diamonds with it. It was used against a hero build (2 oracle blink pressure) to great effect.

Spawning Tool Build Advisor. Get it on Overwolf

Analysis

This build leans more towards all-in than timing attack, but since its off the back of 3 base saturation and a 4th for larva, its hard to call it an all-in. The advantages it has is killing a protoss before you get to the death ball phase.
