I tend to get my third hatch in-base vs. Protoss (need to spam units to match Warpgate spam), but I don't think it's needed that early. With the Reaper and Zealot build time nerfs I find it easier to just FE now, and then I can pop two Queens at the same time. A third hatch would help in saturating the nat faster, sure, but I think you can do it fast enough with just two Queens + two hatches.

I'll give it a try though, can't hurt.

Well it doesn't make sense to in-base vs P because their means of early harass are completely different. You actually want to take your natural early and defend it with queens/spines/lings if you have to. It's better than being contained with zealots on ur ramp or something like that.

With terran it's a bit different. Due to high mobility/cliff jumping of their harass units, it's much harder to defend 2 different locations early game. (VS toss drop a spine or 2 and get some lings/queens and toss can't get into your main/nat but Terran can avoid static defense easily so you need actual units.)

I'm 5 out of 6 with this build. (I don't really count the game I lost because I just played like shit. If I'd played a bit better I would've won. Basically I had the means to win ezpz but just failed. It was like 100degrees in my room that day so I was a lil off. -.-)
Dont quote me boy, cuz I aint saying shhh...

I'v increased up the ladder to 1k now not quite as high as Darkn3ss but still doing fairly well this build really does have its advantages your mid-game will EXPLODE and zerg late game is good enough as it is
