This build i call it "maximum larva build" from 2 hatches because isnt other that gives such an amount of larva with 2 hatch opening.And its like this: -9th drone u make second hatch on natural -after that u make 1 drone 1 overlord and 1 drone with extractor trick in that order -at 11th population u make pool(i need to mention that pool is 5-7 second later than as normal 12 hatch) This build as i said is good only if u plan going 2 hatch opening and imo it does this job better than 12 hatch.But this comes with a price u are abit more vulnerable to chesse opening (bunker rush 9/9 gate proxy gates) since lings comes some seconds later compared to 12 hatch but if u hang on till lings comes out and u save the larva u will have a burst of 10-12 lings and u can overwhelm the chesse. | ||

I've done it myself plenty of times. I'd only use a 9/10 hatch opener as a prelude to an all in or as a hard[ish] counter to a 2 gate, provided I somehow mystically knew the other player would two gate me. 10 hatch hasnt more larva.Only 9 hatch has it,because larva stagnate is only 8 seconds(with 3 larvas hoovering arround blocking larva timer) but u put 2nd hatch at 2:17 wich means ~25 seconds seconds earlier than 12 hatch.So 25 seconds gained minus 8 seconds as larva block gives you 17 seconds bonus in larva production and 13 seconds is the rate in wich larva comes.And i would not recommend this opening in zvz because it dies to 9 pool and 12 pool but vs 12 hatch i think is viable since u can have a better drone count and not so much behind in tech,u dont need to go all in with lings vs 12 hatch. Simply puted 12 hatch opening is better when u go straight 3 hatch before gas(zvp for example or when going 3 hatch muta zvt).But 9 hatch has the potential to outproduce 12 hatch not just in supply count but also in economy after 4 minute mark(till than is in deficit in eco),and thats why i think this build is viable zvt and zvp only when going 2 hatch before gas opening. | ||

You go: 8/9 hatchery 7/9 get 2 drones 9/9 overlord gas trick for 10/9 population You get something like 10 seconds earlier Zerglings, so if a Terran builds a bunker at your natural, you can just kick their shit in. I don't really see any flaws in this style of play except that it doesn't allow you to do FUCKING ANYTHING. | ||

Not super relevant in terms of builds, but 9 hatch vs 12 hatch isn't so bad. You have a pretty nice 20 second or so window where he won't have speedlings and on a lot of maps, you can pressure the nat hard enough that he has to stall his tech/econ to match yours. If he does an inbase 12 hatch, then you can nonstop pump lings and get a lair and either 1. He cuts lings to get faster tech in which case you can all in when his spire is 50% or 2. He slows down tech for nonstop lings in which case you can follow his spire 15-20 seconds late and slowly draw out your gas advantage. | ||

If someone goes 12 hatch, they don't ever need to cut lings to tech up. | ||

I know it sounds like I'm saying 12 hatch has no weaknesses, but it's just strong against 9 hatch as an opening build, but against like 9pool, it's almost impossible to defend. | ||

Which means you deflect his attack easily and can overrun him pretty hard afterwards, thats why its a useful cheese in zvz. 10 hatch is only slightly more difficult, by a couple of seconds, its not countered by a 9 pool.10 hatch hasnt more larva.Only 9 hatch has it,because larva stagnate is only 8 seconds(with 3 larvas hoovering arround blocking larva timer) but u put 2nd hatch at 2:17 wich means ~25 seconds seconds earlier than 12 hatch.So 25 seconds gained minus 8 seconds as larva block gives you 17 seconds bonus in larva production and 13 seconds is the rate in wich larva comes.And i would not recommend this opening in zvz because it dies to 9 pool and 12 pool but vs 12 hatch i think is viable since u can have a better drone count and not so much behind in tech,u dont need to go all in with lings vs 12 hatch.

- 10 hatch - 10 pool - 10 overlord - gas if I want to tech - 8 lings or 4 drones depending on scouting information - sunken(s) if I need to defend - hatch if I want to eco It is a rather flexible build order in my opinion. Ever since doing this I don't (usually) have any problems with 2gate or bunker rush. ZvZ is a different topic tho... | ||

9 hatch extractor trick 10/9 overlord 10/9 pool drone 10/17 gas let's compare with Soma's 12 hatch, 12 pool, 12 gas build - I executed both myself without mineral boosting to be fair 12 hatch got hatch down at 1:44 and scout a second later pool at 2:06 gas at 2:18 lair at 3:07 at 15 supply and a larva pops at that time so 148 minerals 16 supply at that time (I could make a drone now) with no other larva 9 hatch at 1:13 my larvae get blocked at 1:14 I get my hatch down (30 seconds earlier) at 1:22 I get another drone (9 seconds of larva block) at 2:01 I put my pool down (earlier!) at 2:05 I scout (20 seconds later) gas at 2:13 (earlier!) lair at 3:02 (earlier!) at 3:06 I have 65 minerals and 3 larvae so if we make a drone that's 15 minerals, 2 larvae, 16 supply but let's compare against 12 hatch 12 pool 11 gas with a later scout to equalize a bit I got a slightly faster hatch at 1:41 because drone didn't bug out pathing LUL at 2:04 pool then scout gas at 2:10 lair at 3:02 at 3:06 I have 16 supply, 148 minerals so these builds are comparable - at a cost of 133 minerals you get a larva you can't afford a third hatchery until 4:15 at 4:18 I had at 4:22 I had 126 minerals (about to make gas) two larvae, spire/zergling speed on the way, 2 zerglings, 23 supply let's do the same thing continuing a 9 hatch build trying it out again this time the drone pathing was weird so I only had hatch down at 1:17 at 2:01 pool down and scout messed up gas timing so it's 2:14 at 3:04 lair at 3:07 I do have 23 minerals so I got one more trip compared to the previous attempt at 4:16 I had 189 minerals, 24 supply, 2 larvae so I'm having the same number of larvae now until an extra one spawns at 4:21 (bad luck? I should have one more larvae since I didn't get larva blocked after I did the 9 hatch, maybe because the drone danced too long) at 4:23 I put down the third hatchery, have 3 larvae, 25 minerals, spire/zergling speed on the way, 2 zerglings, 23 supply in the end, it's a tiny difference, between my attempts a few seconds here and there actually change the outcome - but when executed correctly should give you smaller and smaller difference - by the time you get the third hatchery up the drone that was mining all this time will have made you back the minerals if I do the build better maybe I will see the one drone mining back the minerals in two minutes and getting the third hatch down in around the same time - then there will actually be a drone advantage until you stop making drones which will turn into an army advantage, but I will probably have to do it later because doing it all the way until 4:15 or whatever is very boring | ||

10 hatch (extractor trick twice, before hatch and after pool, before overlord) Pool comes up at 2:36 at 2:50 mark 246 minerals and 15 drones BUT NO OVERLORD YET 12 hatch Pool comes up at 2:51 at 2:51 mark: 15 drones 392 minerals. Note: the drone advantage is going to disappear since, the hatchery is not yet up and running. 9 hatch: Pool comes up at 2:37. at 2:50 mark: 15 drones 192 minerals. Here's a trick. | ||
