3 Hatch into Roach/Ravager/Ling Timing Attack (ZvT Economic)
Description
Pretty standard opening by Lowko (see http://lowko.tv/). Created by Solar who won the first big Legacy of the Void event.
Early economic head start, protected by Queens and lings for the first minutes, transition into a fast and strong timing attack with Roaches when +1/+1 and speed finishes.

Analysis
This opening can be used against Terran and Protoss to great effect.
The goal is to protect the all the drones until you have 3 bases going at full capacity. Then, produce roaches/ravagers and lings.
Move out at 7:00 with about 150 supply worth of units (over 10 roaches, 10 ravagers and 30 zerlings). The upgrades will finish at 7:30, where you should engage the opposing army and get the upper hand.

The salt code does not work correctly starting at the 2x queens everything's timing gets messed up

In the video he makes the lair at 62 supply (4:30) not 72 (5:09), I noticed some other things were off compared to the video so that's kinda misleading if you're going by the written build.

Got it. Do you think you could link that VOD onto this build order as well so that other users can see the same example?

Yes, seems like that's exactly it! That link gives a few more details too!
I made this one from a replay to import it into the SALT mod for practice. After practicing for a few hours (2h in SALT to develop build and queen reflexes, 2h against AI up to Elite), I managed to place Gold League with it.
