14Gas 14 Pool 15 Overlord 15 Queen 17 2xLings, Speed 22 Baneling Nest 21 Overlord 21- Mass Lings so aside from the standard build you put down a baneling nest, when do you expand or take a third? or is this one of those all-ins you pray your opponent doesn't hold off? | ||

If it works for me, then it is good enough. I think the main point is that before tanks or lots of buildings at the ramp (as it is usual when the terran 2raxes), banes can be very efective. If scouted, it gets a lot more difficult to execute, so you need to conceal your intentions. I've had more success by baneling busting AFTER i quickexpanded and was able to defend the 2rax. Defense usually implies using a lot of drones to fight, and after that you end up having them mining at the natural. After 2rax, at least at my level http://sc2ranks.com/us/891208/ElPeque they are usually expanding or about to expand with bunkers and feel safe, as they expect you to saturate both hatches. There you can build your bane nest and prepare a bust. With 2 hatches you can make a lot more lings, and if he tries to scout with an scv, he will just see a ~saturated natural, which looks "not allinish". Having them scan your main at this point is pretty rare, but oh well. If he does, make lair and drone like fuck as he makes 2346346 bunkers. If it goes really well, you can stream into their base and end it right there. If not so well, you can usually deny their expo while droning up. If it goes bad, well... good luck and have fun  | ||

It comes a bit later and has a lower chance of success but it has a more economic follow through. | ||

Still, I think if you playing the same player multiple times on ladder or in a tournament, and they open 2rax aggression both games, hitting them with an aggressive counter-attack is a great way to win the game / shake your opponent's confidence in moving out against you. | ||
