2 Base Ravager (Bly) (ZvT Timing Attack)
Description
When you think Zerg cheese, you think about a Zergling rush. Well, you can thank Blizzard for having put an end to that through a combination of economy changes, map design, and, the eternal enemy, buildings. A good Zerg player, however, can tell any lactose-intolerant person that life isn't worth living without cheese, and Ravagers have brought that back.
Well, this build isn't totally cheese: maybe it's just a cheese product, but it should appeal to Zerg players in the crowd. It's simple: build 6 Roaches at 3 minutes, build Ravagers at 4 minutes, and attack. It's that simple.
Such a build couldn't really work back in the Ravager-less days. A big Roach Zergling attack had to deal with Siege Tanks, walls, and Banshees. Thankfully, Ravagers can pretty much kill all of those things, so go for it.

I think the issue was gas timing and having enough to actually morph them, but that's a good point. It's worth playing around with the timing there!

Don't you want to morph the ravagers right away? Ravagers move faster than roaches, so your timing could be a few seconds sooner.
