I decided to put this in a blog section instead of the strat forum because I don't believe it is worthy enough to go on there, and this is just one game that has lead me to one of my first zvt wins!

You go 12 pool, 11 pool and 10 hatch. Make 6 zerglings. Get up to 100 gas, upgrade the speed for zerglings and then make the 3 drones mine minerals again. Get your 3rd hatch around 14. Knowing that most terrans go 1 rax FE nowadays, I knew this should work. I pump just zerglings now, and I have an overlord at the ridge to see a rough count of how many marines he had. I know have about 3 groups of zerglings. I send the overlord to the marines to fire at that instead of my main army, like a suicide thing and send my army in at the same time and GG!!

I know this isn't in a strategy guide forum but this should work well.

3-hatch speedlings is a pretty welll known strat against fast FE. The thing is, you have to be careful to hide your zerglings. If he scouts it, he can add a few firebats and turtle up with a few bunks and then you're screwed with crap econ and a bunch of relatively useless zerglings.

terran will notice late lair and if they see 6 lings anyway they'll probably have a bunk out

Removing drones from gas will always give you away, hell even not removing them but getting speed before lair will be a clear sign for decent terrans.

as terran, I will send an scv out to scout it.

If I see it I'm not even coming down my ramp until I have enough firebats

you're basically relying on your opponent not scouting you

yeah but the point is, if I see more than 6 lings Im gonna be supicious

if I see any amount of lings, even only 6, with early speed Im going to be super suspicious

real men pretend their mutalisk harassment has failed while pumping 999999 lings and waiting for the silly terran to try and venture forth with a squad or two of mnm to stop your "lurkers."

muhahahahahahaha mutaling flank them and then run into his base = gg :D

I have lived a wasted 15 years but I believe this is the best build!!! -

1. 12 Hatch 11 Pool 10 Gas
2. Get about 10-12 lings and with first 100 gas speed
3. Next 100 gas Lair
4a. Check what Terran has - if he has a bunker then run past and start going in his main, killing rines coming out of rax and same time killing scvs (if he comes out of bunker you can rape it with speedlings - he should have like 6 rines or something i think)
4b. If he has no bunker then kill his marines or find a way around and kill natural SCVs
5. You should be able to do some damages with this. Next since you've got your Lair up you make the Spire ofc - second gas at 50% Spire
6. 2 Hatch mutas
7. Win
8a. Then there's stuff you can deviate here - You can do an all-in mutaling build that owns C level and lower (this is you get +1 attack mutas which should be researched on spire completion after the 6 mutas, possibly +1 attack lings) and attack when you've got the upgrades done. (Your upgrades finish generally a little bit after terran moves out - which is nice because you can get a gosu flank with about 2 control group mutas and 2-3 control group lings - but if he scouts he will have the science vessels and turtle so you'll need to time this right and possibly put a feignt hydra den (and feign a few hydras. Then get a queen's nest for guards later and you can expand during the time you building up btw - should have like 4 hatches by the time you attack with ur muta ling force)
8b. Or, you can add a 3rd hatch and then go into a standard game, 3rd hatch might go to another main with ramp which you can defend later with 2 lurkers

In my stupidity, I like 2 hatch Oh yea you should practice muta micro a lot because if you don't do any damage with lings you need to get back in the game with muta micro. Lots of nooby terrans (C- and lower or so) don't have timing down for 2 hatch mutas and get too greedy, and then you can win right there but practice a lot on those muta micro maps on iccup latency [extra high to simulate a second player in game])
Well lots of people don't like 2 hatch builds but my ZvT is bad so I just rely on aggression builds

Oh yeah another build -

5 pool into 2 hatch mutas or 5 pool into mass drops (Teacher Chill should release a guide on this, I obsed a game of him and he was so gosu with it) is nice and fun Forgive me if you don't like these builds, venerable elders.
