15 pool/15 hatch is great in zvp, if you get blocked head immediately to your third if you scout a ffe, otherwise just sit 2 base and count gas until you're safe to expand, it's also okay to add gas and get early speed, on the rare occasion that someone tries to 4gate you in 2012.
put down your third hatchery around the 4 minute mark, and drone your ass off
queens queens drone, use 2-4 lings to scout around for proxy pylons and to see if he is trying to push out and
drone drone drone drone drone, add double gas around 5:30-6:15, @50 gas drop your evo, @100 take lair, and 1/4 lair take roach warren, @100 gas take +1 (evo will finish right when you get 100), @ lair 100% take roach speed/ling speed and add a third gas, use your initial overlord to count his gas and if you see 2 gas at the nat prepare for tech (dts, air, etc.) and dump in an overlord to his main to check his tech once you see the double gas, usually around the time you add gas is a good timing to scout his main, and then do so again with an overseer once lair is done
from there you can threaten roach/ling aggression at his third to prevent it from going up, while you take 4th gas and add a 4th base and prepare to swap to spire, and any time you're floating over 500 REASONABLY, drop a macro hatchery, especially if you notice your queens are getting high on energy.
queens and spines/spores are really good, so don't overreact and make 50 lings at 7:15 because you see 4 zealots coming to your third
this isn't an end-all-be-all for zvp, but you need to drone harder and scout more
that whole game you were undersaturated (full saturation on minerals is 2 rows of drones + 3 extra)
if you want to play a greedy game and he doesn't pressure you or posture for an immortal allin, you can go straight for hive, too.
e: a side note on your infestor control, low league players tend to over-spam fungal, at the end there after you called his mom a whore you were clipping fungals at half duration.
This is why I stream... thanks bro
