Baneling Bust by Elekris [ZvT] & [ZvP] (ZvX Cheese)
Description
Hey I'm Elekris. I'm currently Diamond Tier 2 with Zerg and this is my first build order here.
Are you tired of getting cheesed? Are you salty because you are constantly losing to all the shenanigans Terran and Protoss can pull off? Well fear no more! With this build the revenge is yours.

Analysis
Rough Build Order:
- 17 Hatch, 18 Gas, 17 Pool
- @Pool: 2x Queens & Metabolic Boost
- Make Zerglings only from now on!
- 28 Baneling Nest (Don't let it be scouted!!!)
This Build Order works best against fast expands and on maps without a ramp at the natural! If your opponent has a wall, blast it with Banelings! If you can't even deny your enemies natural, you lose!
- 1 Baneling = 80 Structure damage
- Supply Depot, Bunker, Reactor, Tech Lab, Pylon, Shield Battery = 400 Health = 5 Banelings
- Photon Cannon = 300 Health = 4 Banelings
Versus Terran
Terrans will most likely wall off their mains, while leaving the natural exposed. Kill off everything at the natural and as soon as your Baneling Nest is finished make 5 Banelings outside of your opponents vision. (You will pay the price if you don't)
If he went for a Mech-opening (recognizable by the Factory at the ramp), he will usually have 2 Hellions by now. If your Baneling Bust needs multiple attempts, watch out for Widow Mines.
Versus Protoss
Keep an eye out for a possible cannon rush! Place your 2nd Overlord over your natural so you can spot the cannon rush as soon as possible.
If the natural is already walled off by the time you reach it, bust it open. You should be able to deny his natural, but if he has Sentries you won't be able to get into his main. If this is the case, proceed with droning up your own natural and go for a Roach Timing Attack. Watch out for Oracles and/or Dark Templers!
How to use your Banelings
Banelings actually have a really big explosion range. They are capable of destroying all 3 structers at the main ramp, if they attack the middle structure.

I like the explanation of how many banes we need, the different explanations vs each race, the best way to attack with your banes and that you even added pictures to help explain.
Very well explained!
