Watch Zenio v Idra in the NASL to see that actually work.

well zenio used it as catch up build in order to come back from a more or less unwinnable situation. i dont think he wouldve done it if he hadnt too

Split speedlings into packs of 6-8 instead of one big blob.
The fact is as long as you have under a dozen roaches you can get overwhelmed by lings.
I think a key thing people forget is to just send small sets of lings at the infestors (a lot like sending pairs of banelings in a baneling war) because if they fungal they run out of energy way faster than you run out of money for lings and if they miss even 1 ling that ling kills infestors fast.
Another possibility is to mass roaches with burrow, not for the fight itself but because they can get to the front of the base without overlords knowing. If you catch the opponent even a little off guard with a lot of roaches (especially the burrow kind) fungal isn't enough.

Go do some work John

Things were different against idra : - I guess that idra was not familiar with the build ? Violet was, it showed. - ZeWind micro in the first battle was lacking, he lost a lot of energyful infestors

3:00 Standard openings. Fast baneling nest for TheWind however while Violet is getting speedling upgrade.

Wolf is finally starting to talk over Moletrap when Moletrap is flat-out wrong or missing something... starting to like this guy!

that final bane would have only killed one more drone

Thewind going for a 10 pool, both players get fast gas - same as previous game. And a very early baneling nest for TheWinD. TheWind bypassing metabolic boost upgrade and going around the Tasteless secret hallway and morphs 5 banelings.
More banelings coming across the map. Drones move into the main and kill a few drones, 7 drones for viOlet vs 9 for thewind.

Doesnt work to send a few zerglings vs infestors.... unless your opponent is braindead his infestors will always have roach support
