Zerg Strategy - The 14 Pool 14 Gas

Build Difficulty: Low
Versatility: High - standard opening for even Pro-level players
Best Against: Zerg, Terran
Weak Against: None
shokz-guide-click-hereThe 14 Pool 14 Gas is a standard Zerg opening in Zerg vs Zerg and versus all races on smaller maps where fast expansions are not as viable. This is one of the standard Zerg build orders, at both the beginner and professional levels.
Here is how it would typically play out:
9/10: Overlord
14: Spawning Pool
14: Vespene Extractor (could vary slightly)
16: Overlord
17-18: Queen

This is the first build you should learn if you plan on playing Zerg, this build maximizes your economy while allowing you to be able to readily defend rushes.
