I have a weird 3 hatch ling build, the lings hit later, but you have an eco, and you can still break his natural.
You pump drones from 4 to 27 supply, going normal 3 hatch muta build, make a few lings to kill his probe, and make a sunken to stop scouting.
Now from 27 till 43, you pump lings with speed while teching lair/spire.
You'll hit with about 32 lings right before his sair is out, and you should have a spire coming up.

Yes that's the delayed 3 hat ling, shine[kal] used it a bit, once vs jangbi on neo harmony.

Thanks, didn't know where I saw it.
I find it works a lot better then all in 3 hatch lings, the timing is good, and that you can follow up with an actual eco.

Progamer P's generally have perfect FE building placement since they practice it for hours a day. Generally most foreign protoss (except for perhaps the top tier) do not have such perfect placement which can make 3 hatch ling all-in be a very effctive BO.

That build was actually really popular last season in Clubday MSL. Savior used it vs Bisu, Lux used it a lot vs protoss and JD used it too even vs Bisu in the GOM showmatch. The only disadvantage with this build it transitions to 4hat lurk/hydra/ling instead of the standard 5hat hydra which is used this season.

Yeah I don't think it's too good of a strategy in ZvP because of how scrutinized building placement in FE situations is - it's one of the first things new PvZers learn.

But in ZvT I think it's extremely deadly..

However, some maps and some positions makes it viable to do 3 hatch ling regardless of perfect wall. For example, 12 o clock on destination is impossible to have a really good simcity on, resulting in more people do this kind of build when you spawn at 12. Almost every korean zerg I play do this 3 hatch ling before mutas there.

Well, destination might have been a bad example since it's only difficult simcity well relative to the 6 o clock position. But say 12 o clock python, all rush hour positions and so on. 3 hatch ling might still be useful there even though you have 'perfect' placement.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL
