Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my zerg opener that I have used almost every game, unless I scouted some sort of cheese or rush. Could someone just let me know if this is already a strategy or has already been posted, as I am planning on submitting this build to Liquipedia II.
This build is a very flexible zerg opener that you can use in every match up. The build is:
10 scouting drone
14 pool
13 gas
2 drones immediately
1 overlord immediately
@100% gas, 3 drones on to gas
When your pool is finished, you should have 300 minerals, and 3 larvae. (and if it matters, around 25 gas)
Usually what I do is get a queen and either 3 lings or drones depending on what I scout.

Hope this helped

Well technically a flexible open is a standard opening would you not think :/

That build actual has constraints depending whether you're going speedlings or roaches or banelings, because you're getting the gas at a fairly good time for those things, however if one were to say want to FE. [Which 14 pool 15 hatch is actually pretty common]

15 pool
16 hatch

Standard but works so well just as long as you make sure to scout for cheese and rushes.

lol standard buld, that can transistion into anything. I use it every game too lol
Actually, mine's the same up till the 14 pool. lol.

Then 13 gas if bling bust/roaches

15/16 hatch if they FE forge. Leads to anything. The options are endless =D

I almost never get gas that early in my builds due to wanting a stronger 2 hatch eco / the ablity to keep pumping lings for early pressure. Hmm maybe I should try some early gas thou.

It's a standard build, but still pretty impressive you worked it out on your own! I just read on the forums instead
