Rogue ZvZ Dark - 2 base muta Swarmhost into Broods (ZvX Economic)
Description
While it says economic, it's actually none of the above.
This is a very unusual build from Rogue, going for early lings to deny the 3rd base into 2 base muta with 8 Swarmhosts for harrassment while getting a 3rd! He then makes 13 spine crawlers! Techs to Hive and gets Broodlords.

Why is there no SALT encoding or Overwolf build?

Analysis
First of all this match is really fricking weird and I loved it!
VOD starts at 5:35
Rogue opens safely with pool, gas, hatch. He then gets early ling speed and a bane nest before going for early ling bane pressure in order to deny the 3rd base. The reason he does this is because Rogue is going for 2 base Muta and won't be getting a 3rd for a while and doesn't want Dark to pull ahead in hatcheries for as long as possible. He keeps his Ling bane at the ramp until eventually pulling back as his lair finishes (46). Dark immedaitely gets his 3rd at last and Rogue also immediately goes for a Spire in order to get some Mutas out asap. Rogue has a later 3rd hatch, getting it at (57) aswell as his Infestation Pit because he went for a Spire first.
When the Spire finishes, Rogue gets 5 Muta for a small amount of harrass and also picking off anything he can which in case, is Overlords. At (77) Rogue then goes for 8 Swarmhosts which is where the game gets even weirder. He's going to be using them for main base harrass on this map and will later get a Nydus network so they can be transported around the map if needed. On other maps you can use the Swarmhost pretty much on any base ideally where the enemy army isn't.
Going into late game now, Rogue gets his Hive not long after the Swarmhosts at (110) as he wants to tech up to Broodlords as quickly as possible while using his Muta/ Ling/ Swarmhost to pin Dark back in his base. Getting even stranger, 13 Spine crawlers are made at (120) for defence incase Dark counter attacks, ignoring Rogues harrass, before getting 6 more Muta as 5 is no longer effective as Dark has been making some Hydra to counter them. He then gets his Greater Spire at (122), 14 pairs of lings, 7 more Muta and 5 Corruptors which will be morphed into Broods asap.
Rogue morphs his Broods and begins to attack from all sides with all his harrass units and his Broods. Dark tries to counter attack but is defeated by Rogues 13 Spines and Swarmhost. Dark has now lost his whole army, done no damage to Rogue and calls GG as he cannot possibly fight Rogues very peculiar army! GG
