I made the error of not doing this "cheesy" but extremely effective strategy last game, and I almost lost it, not again. I proceeded with extreme gayness.
I scouted the bottom start location with my overlord, it found a terran before I comitted made any buildings at all. Yum.
I slapped down a pool at 9/9, then an extractor at 8/9, drone, overlord and then waited to 6 ling the terran. There was a bunker/depot/rax near wall at his ramp. I let out a koreanstyle "GOOD ^^" upon seeing this. With the ramp/bunker/depot formation at his ramp and not near his SCVs, my lings could run away and have an SCV feast.
I rallied my zerglings near his ramp. Grouped them, morphed a hatchery, and got ready to get into a unit control battle. The longer it lasts, the better. I ran my 6 lings up his ramp. A bunker with one marine managed to kill a singe zergling before 5 started attacking his zerglings. His SCVs stopped mining, I attacked and killed 3 SCVs, take a loss of a single zergling before running away. I checked my main, saw 150+ minerals and 3 larva and morphed 3 drones.
His SCVs went back to mining. I saw a single marine leave his barracks in a run to his mineral line. I killed it taking only minimal damage to one of my lings. Then I went for more SCVs only to see a half complete bunker with a marine next to it. One zergling attacked the SCV contructing the bunker while the other 3 zerglings attack the marine. The bunker did not finish in time, and was promptly cancelled. 3 of my lings died after killing a marine and a few SCVs. I started my hydra den with my lair about half complete. A single zergling went unnoticed for quite some time in his SCV line. The only ling left managed to kill 3 SCVs.
My lair finished. I started lurker aspect just when the lair finished. I morphed an overlord and then a few hydras. I sent the hydras outside the terran base and morhped lurkers.
My original overlord was outside the terran ramp, providing an aerial spotter incase I needed to push up the ramp. To my suprise, I saw an unsieged tank. I went up the ramp with 3 lurkers, and burrowed right next to the tank. While the terran got out a tank in time, he neglected turrets for too long. The unsieged tank died, followed by a bunker and some marine blood. I moved my lurkers into the SCV line and won round 3.
You know you have won in a strong fashion when your opponent asks, begs even, for your build order.
Onto the finals.
