soO's Safe Opening into Brood Lord Rush (ZvP Economic)
Description
This build starts with a standard, passive opening that is intended to safely defend against standard aggression. Make sure you're scouting so you can Drone as much as possible. Follow that up with a fast Spire to get about 8 Brood Lords around 10:30.

Analysis
Make sure you scout early (especially with Overlords) so that you know what sort of aggression to expect. The gold standard of aggression you will see from Protoss includes:
- 1 or 2 Adepts
- Phoenix into Oracle
- Archon Drops
- Storm
- Archon Immortal Zealot
However, if the Protoss goes for a slightly different type of aggression, you will need to adapt depending on small variations. soO keeps Zerglings and Overlords across the map for vision on the 4th base to figure out what the Protoss strategy is.
Go for the Hydralisk Den and Evolution Chamber around 6:30 with 3 base saturation. Follow that up with an Infestation Pit around 7:00. After that, you can focus on unit production, and you can pressure expansions when you get a chance.
The timing for later builds probably depends on the feel of the game and what has happened.
When you get the Brood Lords, you can go for a big push before they get too many Tempests.
