You do not need a pool for it even. If you want to do crawler... then u'd really need to wait for pool to finish, but they might already have a wall off. It'll just be a weak version of cannon rush.... if they surround ur crawler with scv I don't see it live to tell the tale. | ||

As a Protoss player I find it amusing but also quite smart since it opens many doors now. Does this mean zerg has a more advantageous position to rush Protoss aswell with evo chambers and possibly when evo is finished blocking new buildings by protoss near the chamber? Like if u build it near the 1st pylon at protoss and managed to destroy it afterwards it'll mean due to creep there can't be any pylons in the neighborhood of creep which would be devastating for a protoss player early game. This really opens alot of doors in all matchups as Zerg. Edit: Just re-watched and saw no creep so forget about the creep part of above :D | ||

They won't spawn broodlings, but by the time evo's die (since they won't lose hp on the enemies creep), they generally have enough to take the hit pretty easily, though you might be able to focus a drone or two. | ||

I've done 3 games, what i suggest doing is coaxing the opponent into attacking your drone with his drones then when he goes back to mine try and trap em, or block free minerals then | ||

If you simply avoid killing them your lings will be delayed significantly and the T can even delay orbital because the Z used 2 drones early to make the evos (and you see the hatches going down early so you know no pool) and do anything they want with such a huge advantage. I know it's a fun strat but even when viewed like that it still relies on the T choking like hell when they see the evos instead of thinking what it means. | ||
