Today I'll introduce the 6 pool Zerg rush! This build order is
mostly used in an mirror match ZvZ, but can also used against
Terra or Toss.The big point is that this build order is pretty
easy to play, but if it fails, its devastating for your economy
and your mid game. So be patient, this is an all in rush.
- 6 - Spawning Pool
- 5 - Drone
- 6 - Drone
- Spawning Pool finished - 6 Zerglings
- 10 - Extractor
- 9 - Drone or 2 Zerglings
- 10 - Cancel extractor
- 11 - Attack
- 11 - Overlord
After this you can choose to attack with more Zerglings
or change your tactics to roaches / hydras / build more hatcheries.
Fast Mutalisks allow you to potentially do significant damage to the opponents economy, especially if the spire does not get scouted and no air defense is set up in time. Mutalisks also grant easy map control and usually let you take a 3rd base without much trouble while denying your opponent more than 2 bases. If you fail to do any damage to the opponents economy you should still have map control and use that to catch up or get ahead in terms of economy.
