The overlord magnet is something I did a ton in SC1 with my 12 pool speed build (which could often win vs fast CC, or win if they take the bait on a factory or rax build.
In SC2 I haven't been using it just because I found speedlings to be less unexpected and/or less useful, which is the opposite of what most people might think or expect when comparing SC1 and SC2.
The main factor is that walls are also ridiculously easier to do now, with stuff like easy protoss walls and forcefield, it's very difficult to do vs protoss (although it wasn't done at all vs protoss in SC1). With lowerable depots and pinhole chokes (double rax), crazy studder-stepping marines with 5 extra health, and possibly even more frequent double-rax builds than factory in SC2, I find it's overall not as effective to do, but I should maybe re-visit it, maybe an 11-12 overpool gas speedling or something.
I seriously love the rape reference because it's so outta left field. I watched it first time a few days ago and went "did he seriously make a rape reference?" and sure enough it was confirmed a minute later.

my only issue with that 3rd vid is...so destiny killed the whole army...but lost 2 hatches. now what? does he counterattack with lings? does he double expo and drone like hell froze over?
I'm always in that situation. I kill the whole terran army, obliterate it. and they leave.
then i'm....uhhh what would I have done had he stayed? i used up all my blings. would i have tried counterattacking with lings and mutas or something? i once played a game where the terran ONLY made marines and every time i killed his rine army, if i tried counterattacking, i would fight another like 20 and bunkers and so I had to eventually wait till i had brood lords.
It's just meant to be a cost-effective way to destroy a bio army, it's not meant to win you the game. After his army is dead, take an expo. Drone. Get tech. DON'T attack.
Okay something constructive: If you post videos, make sure there is no bad or childish language in it and if there is mute it before posting. Listening to this makes me ashamed of beeing human.
In addition to that there is nothing really new tactic wise in here: The use of fungal growth and its application is well known, ling surround before banelings too. The only gimmicky thing was maybe the overlord but ... I dont think its worth a thread. This thread does only contribute profanity language, it should be definitly not in the strategy section. I would like to see the quality of opening posts increasing.

everything is his. didn't you see that 1 base infestor thing he did in ZvZ? or the destiny 230 food push? or destiny's 7 pool? they're all his tricks clearly
I was planning on posting this in here. It really is a good idea, but still quite the risk. He did a great job at doing it, and i really loved the opponents reaction on how the infestors got in his base. Also, he really should have canceled his third hatch. Hehe
The infestors hit squad is usually not useful because you can get borrow but against terran that build a line with tanks and turrets, I guess it can work really well. The problem with this is that it's like a terran drop, but you are really risking a lot of gas if it fails.
I tried doing the bro infestor hit squad thing, and it worked really well, but I almost died to a 2base roach-ling attack. I guess I probably shouldn't upgrade ovie speed, ovie drop, and pathogen glands at the same time haha.

Remember what destiny said.
MORE SPINECRAWLERS and the four infestor hit squad.
