    That's probably a bad idea my friend, any better player will scout it and either roflstomp you or take multiple expansions and crush you later on.

    Depends on the situation. In a 1 v 1 you'll go down if you get scouted.

    In 2 v 2 or more, things are different. For example, today I've been playing with a terran and me as zerg. Quite a few times he defended me with marines and fast siege tanks, while I teched to mutas, while heavily harassing with lings to make sure expanding was hard for our opponents.

    Then my terran partner transitioned into thors to back up the tanks which were left, and sent most of his gas and minerals to me after that. We basically kept moving up the map with a ton of (constantly upgraded) mutas, while he held the line with the tanks, marines and thors. We get every expo behind the line and simply overwhelm them with endless mutas.

    I know it's not the most flawless strat, and we'll probably have to adjust it from diamond onwards (going against plat people now), but so far fast mutas are win for us. Against people who properly use thors, psi storms and all that good stuff, I simply spawn a few brood lords, which snipe their casters from the flanks.

    Skipping your queen is very all-in like though. You can get 7 mutas out around minute 7 with a lot more econ if you go queen first like this.

    then i dont do 7min muta rush, i just 14 hatch 14 pool then go mass lings into mutas.

    7min muta rush = all-in
    8min muta rush = slow allin-in
    9min muta rush = macro timing rush.
