Starcraft 2 Zerg 12 Pool Speedling Rush Strategy:

The 12 Pool Speedling Push is a more reliable form of overwhelming your opponent with Zerglings whilst maintaining a satisfactory economy. This strategy can be played out in several ways, you may want to constantly send Zerglings in small groups as they spawn straight to your opponent or you can save them all up and attack with up to 20 Speedlings all in one huge group.

The purpose of the 12 Pool Speedling Push ideally is to surprise your opponent with 20 Speedlings however you can consistently harass your opponent as your Zerglings spawn if you prefer. The idea behind 12 Pool Speedling Push is really to make a huge group of Zerglings all at roughly the same time with the help of the Spawn Larva ability and catch your opponent off guard. This can be achieved quite successfully as long as you prevent your opponent from properly scouting or seeing anymore then just 2 Zerglings then they will not be ready for when you spawn almost all of your Zergling army in one go. By the time you hit your opponent with your group of 20 Speedlings it will be too late for them to react accordingly.

Build order

This build order is designed as a straight forward build to forming the strategy, it does not consider any of the multiple various enemy threats that you may encounter. You should only deviate away from the build order to build appropriate counters (an army or static defence) should your opponent threaten your survivability. Try to stick to the build order as best as you can to achieve maximum results.

When you are satisfied with your scouting/harass you can either keep a zergling just outside by their natural expansion to keep a check on your opponent or bring it back to the xel naga tower nearest your enemy)

Zerg micro and macro

Micro

*Focus on killing workers with your Zerglings
*Hit and run the workers; Attack the workers with your Zerglings and provoke your opponent into dragging all of his workers away from the mineral line to defend himself, at this point you simply run your Zerglings back and wait for him to return his workers to the mineral line, that's when you strike again with the Zerglings! Rinse & repeat this method whenever possible. This allows you to efficiently damage your opponent's economy whilst taking as little damage as possible.
*Kill the enemy army units only if you can still put the pressure on after inevitably losing some Zerglings in the process otherwise dodge the enemy army units and harass their workers instead.
*kill any key buildings like Pylons should you have the chance (Especially if there is only Pylon powering Protoss buildings)
*See "Support" for advice on how to use Banelings if you have the chance to make them

Macro

*Spawn Larva whenever possible to increase the number of Zerglings you can create
*Start spawning Creep Tumors only once your Queen has enough energy to continually Spawn Larva first
*The "Extractor Trick" is a method Zerg players use to temporarily exceed their supply limit so they can build a extra Drones or Zerglings before needing to make an Overlord
