It was actually Life. Kespa made up the matchfixing thing to try and stop it from spreading, but it was too late.

Since I originally brought up the subject, I've made a separate post about it. Was originally a reply in this thread but the length got out of hand.

I first saw it when voltz took a game off ByuN on ulrena in early-mid 2016 and I used it for awhile on Ruins of Endion (albeit with a sub optimal build order), but i heard matiz popularized it in europe later before elazer used it in wesg/nation wars the next year

The ling runby was a part of this version too

I don't think anyone " made it up ", it is a build that is pretty straight forward in your face as a build order to any experienced Zerg, it's not like we're cracking the f***ing davinci code by rushing roaches... I can't believe this is even a thread.

Pretty sure I saw IdrA do this during WOL, could be confusing him with someone though

Pretty sure Boxer invented that build back in 2001

Pretty much this...

That said... I was doing something akin to this rush on the LotV Community Alpha Mod on the first week when it opened, I was also doing variations of Ravager builds with dropperlords, load 8 ravagers into a couple ovies and harass Protoss players min lines with em. it was stupidly funny, even more so for how incredibly large and OP the bile AoE radius was back then ahahaha
