Hydra's Roach ZvT Opener (ZvT Economic)
Description
I was going through Hydra's match history and decided to write this out. It's a pretty basic ZvT opener that will be good for any early reaper/hellion aggression.

Analysis
For this specific opener I would transition either into Lair around the 4:00-4:30 minute mark for a +2 Missile +2 Carapace Roach/Rav Timing attack, but any transition should work fine

1 set of zergling equates to 1 supply, I believe. You might want to check that, if I'm incorrect I will definitely alter the build order, but nobody else has seemed to have your issue

it's nice but there is a probleme ; at 1:59 (21) , you say "make one queen and 2x set of zergling (4 zerglings in all) , but after you say "at 24 of population make one queen ", but 21 + one queen = 23 + 2x set of zergling =25 of population . i don't know if it's my fault and you would say do just 2 zerglings , or suicide 2 zerglings of 4 , or because you made a typing error . Please can you answer my question , thank you .
