Honestly, I've been skeptic about the diamaga style of ling play for 2 weeks now, but after a lot of intellectual curiosity, I played it against a very hard protoss AI (with slight variation). Granted, the very hard ai goes 3 gate robo; however, the strategy as presented provides just enough defense to stop the first push, with about 6 lings left, and keeps you in position to pump out +1 speedlings, which I go to about 100 slings, and absolutely decimate his gateway units with them. I haven't been able to try the other stuff, AKA getting ultralisks which I know is the next step to improve my gameplay and use of this build if I want to survive the collosus play; however, winning on both Agria Valley which was a comfort zone for me and Blistering Sands where chokes were rather small when I engaged gave me great confidence to try to see this strat through.

Thanks Mr.Bitter. You always contribute a great deal for us swarm players.

Thank you so much for this post, I've really struggled against terran and protoss when I have to go pool first and don't expand until around the 20supply mark. I'm definitely going to start trying this out but it seems like the crucial advantage this build has is that ultra timing is very good. I'm pretty sick of hatch first, then hydra/muta/ling.

Wondering if you have any replays of dimaga doing a similar pool first and hatch at 20supply kind of build against a terran?

thanks Mr. Bitter, you helped me really much with this build. I have barely any problems vs protoss anymore (just became #1 in my gold division ..).
I modified the build a little and delayed gas, as the +1 upgrades wouldnt be ready for the first encounter anyway. In gold league i can build workers up to 30 before building lings, i also don't need spine crawlers. If you let 3 drones get gas you can tech up without much delay and complete adrenal glands at around 13th minute, while getting attack and carapace upgrades too. Tell me what you think about it. I hope this works in plat and diamond too..
14 pool
16 ovi
17 gas (you may let the drones at gas)
@ pool: queen
20 exe
23 ovi
@100 gas: metaboost
@hatch/ around 30: maynard around 5 drones to natural
30 ovi
30 evo
