Description

This Build abuses the ZvZ Meta. Most Players like to go for a fast Lair and +1 Missile Upgrade after their 3rd to strengthen their midgame Roach Push. We counter that by investing the resources that our opponent spends on Tech and Drones instead on Roaches Lings and Banelings. The Goal is to achieve 2 Gas (6 Drone) and 2 Mineral Line (32 Drone) (32+6=38 Drones) saturation and then flood him with a huge amount of Roaches and eventually Lings and Banelings to finish him off.

We stop droning once we reached our saturation and build a couple extra overlords (~4 depending on your supply) and then spam masses of Roaches until we have no more Gas and then Lings until our opponent dies.

Timings: 3rd around 2:30-2:45, Bane Nest after 3rd, Roach Warren 3:30-3:45. Saturation 3:35-3:45

Analysis

If our opponent gets a Lair and an evolution chamber, that alone costs him more than 400 Ressources. If he also starts +1 and gets a few drones he will quickly leave himself open to a Timing.

The Build is fairly hard to scout as it looks like a normal macro game opener up until the 3:45 mark where we stop droning.

The first Roaches need to brake his Banelings and most of his lings. Once they are gone the follow up Lings will tank a lot of damage while the Roaches kill our opponents Roaches.

If you fail to kill him you will be in a lot of trouble as he will have better upgrades which will make a comeback very hard.
