On a more important note, if twisted had all the posts from his banned account, he'd be the closest one to dethrone FA

im pretty sure he bumped it because he did a search on the topic and found another thread discussing the exact same thing... so in addition to his post (which was lengthy and meaningful) you also have the commentary from 2 years ago, for what it's worth

I've seen this used to good effect in 2v2s, as the zerg end up with the ability to produce a large number of lings early, but still leaves him with the ability to quickly beef up his econ.

It's a nice compromise between a 9pool and 12 hat build. I'm not sure it's all that much better than just 12 pool/12 hat, but it's worth playing around with.
All I want is a kind word, a warm bed, and unlimited power.

i played a zerg in wgtour that used this build. I Dont see why a zerg would make lings after it.. as the author suggested. It protects against bunker rush rather nicely and allows you to pump more drones. But I don't think its all that great

on another note, perhaps if your BO is bad enough, it might affect the opponent in a live game. The russian wrestling team used to use that strategy all the time until it became mandatory to shower in the olympics.

9/9 extractor trick (10/9)
10/9 Expo , extractor trick (10/9)
10/9 Spawning pool (9/9)
9/9 Overlord, extractor trick (10/9)

wouldnt it be better to just 9/9,xpo,drone,pool,drone,overlord,extractor trick? ..

I really like this build zvp, u get ur expo and pool up fast and ur never below 9 drones. Its solid vs most rushes, and if u scout 1 gate tech then its easy to power.
I dont think its risky.. as far as fast expo builds go its pretty conservative.
might be good vs bunker rush too

wouldnt it be better to just 9/9,xpo,drone,pool,drone,overlord,extractor trick? ..

this is pretty much the same but a little safer even. slightly weaker econ, but faster expo and
?faster pool?

I want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live.

You are indeed missing something.

Hope this helps.

twisted, that is the other build however it is more suceptable to rush attempts. tomson, the drone is to get you a significant economical advantage. It lets you pump 1 more drone before you use all your larvae for lings. Also, your economy is much weaker with this build.. too fast gas is equal to 'gg' vs any good protoss. 9 hatch is less common zvt since terrans can defend it fairly easily. it becomes a disadvantage for the zerg (slight).

It's cool that you're arguing with a point I made 2 years ago, but my view hasn't changed. I do realise what is the reason behind the extractor trick, but I already stated the obvious flaws... some time ago.

Ive recently discovered that not many builds are good for zerg, just the slight change of strategies, really, every crazy build for zerg at beggining will probably get pwn by t or p pwnage, zerg is just so weak. I prefer to go for the general build, and then just change strat slightly, like add a drop or two in there somewhere, or get like 4 guards and maybe a queen, or something
Maybe quick queens or guards or sommething, but zerg just wont have enoguh $$ to support it, and will end up draining and losing, either way, its good to try some crazy shit once in a while
Never believe anything you read on the internet, except this, or including this , I suppose
