So I just worked my way up from top 5 Gold to Platinum finally. Well I've been playing Terrans who do one base all-ins all day and losing to them.
Finally I get a different match-up which is Zerg versus Zerg. Zerg versus Zerg are annoying. Even though I'm a macro player, I'm aggressive in this match-up because if I'm not, I will just get Roach or Mutalisks rushed.
It was on Lost Temple and we were cross positions. So I did my 14 Pool Speed into Baneling build and my pool just finished when I saw the most all-in build I have ever seen.
I see 6 Lings pop out and he takes all of his drones off his minerals and charges my base. Well I had a Queen, equal lings, a Spine Crawler, and more drones. He leaves without a GG.
I assume it was a 6 pool. Surprisingly, what I found was that if you just go for a 15 hatch and scout it before you put down your hatch, you can just plant your pool and because you have so many ****ing drones, you can just defend it really easily.

He didn't 6 pool. He did a 10 Pool at earliest because he had like 4 less workers than me.
Well then doesn't seem that all in. I've seen worse. For example, the 5 pool in SC2. Kill one of your intial drones, proceed to mine, then make spawning pool at 200 mins.
