Nah, it gets rolled by ultra/defiler since the hydras can't shoot under swarm and ultras laugh at 20 damage spikes But ultras and defilers get owned by mass broodling, so you need to make muta to chase the queens down | ||

The problem vs. 12 pool is you have no way of denying an early third unless you take a delayed gas and research speed first. Which I guess is possible. The biggest problem is that when you 12 hatch, and they 12 hatch they have too many zerglings to really pressure them. So I prefer the 9 pool to always play vs. a small econ Zerg | ||

Larva's attempt is fairly poor, but he limited himself to building no zerglings, and sneaks out a ninja expansion that his opponent never scouts even though it's not even a "hidden" base his spore placement is very poor, no defensive spore at choke, he then suicides into sunken colonies + mutas, gets rekt by guardians because he has no spire I can post much better games, and my opponents are about the same skill level, lol | ||

I went hydra vs. a 2100 Korean who kept on telling me to leave the game, I think this one is a bit more entertaining | ||

Also definitely seems like you absolutely need lurkers in late game ZvZ, they destroy every ground unit. Can't believe your opponent didn't make any. | ||
