Analysis

The goal of this build is to be safe during the early game by getting a roach warren around 3:45. As the opening is standard, you will still have to know cheese defenses. Generally, we go baneling nest -> safety banelings -> roach warren -> safety roaches -> 66 drones -> more roaches/ravagers. Since the evolution chamber is later, this build will be behind an upgrade compared to an evo -> roach warren build. Overlord speed is optional, but it's helpful for scouting and saving your overlords from ravagers and mutas.
