Help me think of interesting zerg ideas for trying out in 1v1 Obs Xel'Naga Caverns.

- Expand to opponents natural
- Place tech structures around the map under overlords
- Mass drone drop and make spine/spores
- Massing queens to spread creep really really fast, maybe along with mass overseer to goop nonstop. queens could be used to transfuse hurt overseers

that's all i can think of for now...

Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

-I like the idea of massing overseers and contaminated everything in the base
-Mass infestors and only attack with infested terrans
-You're not allowed to attack unless nydus worms transported you (nearby, not at the battle site)
-*Insert Funday Monday idea here*
-Using Neural Parasite steal a worker and mass up (best against protoss since scvs need to constantly be parasited
-At some point in the late game scrap your entire unit composition and mass banelings

i hate this rush.

edit: [/kneejerk] hiding tech is not great cause it's not like zerg has any options here, not like hiding dark shrines proxy hatch could be hilarious. maybe FE to his 3rd on metal and then spine crawler your way into his base?
