i don't get it how you get away with 15h14p. I always crush them with agression, roaches are too late to defend fast ling/fast bane rushes .. it requires very good micro to defend a 15h15p against this.

I would love if someone could answer this question lol. I'm always the one getting crushed. When I watch professionals play it seems like they can also put down 15 hatchery 14 pool and defend with very little problems. When I try to go 15 hatchery 14 pool I just don't seem to be able to produce enough units to defend and my opponent just keeps pumping ling until I just can't keep up.
Lately I have been going the build below.
9 overlord
14 pool
13 gas
16 overlord
16 queen
17 ling
18 ling
19 overlord
20 ling
block ramp with lings.
Then once I have the money I drop my roach warren and stock pile gas and minerals for at least 6 roaches. After that I expand or attach depending on what I scout.
Downside is I don't get zergling speed so I have to be on top of my overlord spreed for vision. Later in the game when my expo is safe I will get zergling speed.
