Hey all, this guide has become a bit dated but I think the opening build still has a lot of merit in ZvZ (especially on Ulrena).

Here's a VOD from today's ladder session showing the build used twice in a row (with a Roach transition):

Cool and useful very thorough guide for new players.

I think you could add more about what to do with your attacks at 2 and 2:40. Should we commit? What damage should we commit on?
Is it better to kill queens or kill drones?

How do we scout to find out if we did enough damage without losing a lot?
Blahhh

Good questions. It depends largely on your style. When I first started using this build, I was doing it super all-in (14 Drones, no transitions, going for Drones/Queens relentlessly). Now, I'm using it mostly to shut down my opponent's expansion if they take a hatch first, while I transition into Roach. Depending on my opponent's build, I might only make 4-12 Speedlings.

In general, you want to focus attacking units (Queens/Zerglings) and then Drones or the expansion hatchery. But it's so situation-dependent that it's hard to give good execution advice.

good tip on using the shift key (and also the alt key).
