I dont see this working. You spend 2 drones (100 minerals), 2 aborted hatcheries (150 minerals) and 2 evo chambers (150 minerals) for 8(?) time-limited fighters. This couldve been 16 zerglings or 8 drones. The only advantage you gain is that they'll spawn in his base, you could deny his walloff and you confused him. He didnt continue to MULE and he still tried to get a techlab on his Rax instead of just spamming Marines and closing the Walloff with bunkers, supply depots or whatever. He couldve easily defended this.

I like getting the proxy hatchery for proxy creep before lair but i dont see this any efficient once you know about it and just keep cool.

I would like to try to proxy evo chamber once to deny his walloff, go for an zergling allin and bust it as the evo chamber dies and opens the ramp for you.

That's awesomely creative. Love seeing Z experiment more. That being said, this doesn't really look like a staple cheese, the t can just semi wall and wait for the broodlings to come and then kite and finish the wall.

But if it were, it wouldn't really be cheese.

Well a cheese catches you by surprise by hiding, since this obviously isn't quite subtle, well it would need to be. Suppose I should've rather called it all-in rather than cheese for that reason.
