Analysis

For this build you should take huge focus on injects and production, droning as quickly as possible on your first 5 bases and bulding units to defend only when you need to. Once up to 3 base economy start being aggressive to keep the enemy away from your bases until you are finally saturated on 4-5 bases.

Key timings for this build:

  • 2:34/ 29 - 3rd Hatch
  • 3:00/ 32 - 12 Lings
  • 3:38/ 43 - Lair
  • 4:04/ 55 - 2 extractors
  • 4:12/ 55 - 2 Evo Chambers
  • 4:37/ 57 - Hydra Den
  • 4:38/ 60 - melee and missile weapons 1
  • 4:52/ 63 - 4th Hatchery
  • 5:25/ 71 - Muscular Augments/ extractor
  • Start making a ton of Hydra and Ling/ Bane
  • 6:44/ 119 - 5th Hatchery/ extractor

From here, drone up your 4th and 5th bases, continue to make Ling/ Bane and Hydra while taking expansions. Counter attack and attack into the enemy taking as good trades as you can. Wear down the economy of your opponent until they are forced to succumb to the Swarm.
