obv then power for a bit upgraded hydra/lurk/ling, box them into their expo and main, resume map control and take a bunch of expo's
do you hatch at expansion first on 6 and 9 oclock on lt, or do you still ramp? Are sunkens on the cliff more valuable than having the hatch at exp a little earlier?
a lot depended on matchup and mood. in picked Z vs Picked P i really (REALLY) liked the ramp hatch + speedlings up and drones off gas + 3rd hatch at expo. Of course, like in poker, I always wanted a certain amount of randomness to my game so I had so many different builds, and a lot of times I'd have to transpose in because of ZvRandom which was a big deal to me at first but after thousands of games I got over that without much of a problem.
