   Step 2: Send your overlord to scout.

   Especially on a map with greater than two starting locations, it's critical that you know where your opponent is so that your early zerglings can do a large amount of damage. , Instead, wait until you have sufficient minerals for a spawning pool. ,, Use the 1st or 2nd one you build to start to scout if it is a 3 or more player map. , Build 3 sets of zerglings, and scout if needed. ,, If you do not micro, you are guaranteed to lose.
   
   Mainly focus on the basic military units, then the miners, and then the buildings.
   
   Note: if you do not keep sending zerglings over to the enemies' base there is a good chance that person will overcome the technique, and win himself/herself for rushing is key. , The enemy will eventually crack and give in unless they have a good defense.
