Thanks Frodan for being an awesome coach and showing me a build that really stretched me. If you enjoyed this build or have questions, be sure to TWEET him, and follow his twitch stream to see this and other great builds with fun commentary and the occasional singing and/or Brightside sighting. (btw, that's brightside doing the voice acting at the end of part 1, and she loves doing it if you need goofey cartoon voices )

9 Overlord
14 Gas
14 Pool
15 Overlord
16 Ling Speed/Queen/6Lings
21 Expand
From here make 2-3 injects of lings and apply early aggression.
When you've done decent damage:
- switch back to droning, take your gas
- make defense with 2 spines at natural
- make a 2 evo chamber wall
- get +1 range attack and armor
- get roach warren (and roach speed)
- get lair
- take a 3rd
These points are listed in the general order that you might get them. Since ZvZ is so dynamic, it's hard to say much beyond this as far as mid-game transition. For people in lower leagues, like myself, the point is to get into the habit of learning how to keep your advantage and win a 'won' game.
