This is the standard build order for Zerg players; don't use this build order if you intend to rush. This build will allow for a very early expansion and relies on speedlings and banelings for most of the early game.
First, get 10 drones and then build on overlord. When the overlord finishes pump 3 more drones and wait until you get 200 minerals so you can build the spawning pool. After you start the spawning pool make one extractor and put 3 drones on it, then just make drones until the spawning pool finishes. After this you should build a queen and alternate making zerglings and drones, also start the speed upgrade in the spawning pool as soon as you have 100 gas and make a baneling nest after that so you can build a few banelings for defense.
When you get up to around 25 or so drones you should make your expansion and defend it with your zerglings and a few banelings. Make sure you scout so you can see an attack coming and be ready for it. After you get the expansion up and running move into making roaches and hydralisks. After this, winning is a simple matter of keeping your opponent from expanding and then just out producing him. Stay away from building mutalisks as they take way to much gas and are not strong enough to make it worth while. Also keep checking all the possible expansion spots and attack any new base he tries to build.
The key to winning as a Zerg player is controlling the mineral gathering of your opponent, while you expand. We can't compete with a Terran or Protoss player if we let them expand and tech. Plus air defense is our weakness so make sure you scout and if you see him going air then make corruptors as fast as possible.
Becoming an advanced Starcraft 2 player is very challenging and confusing. I purchased the Starcraft 2 Advanced Strategy Guide from Star2Pros.com and I have been very impressed with the strategies they teach. I would highly recommend it to any Starcraft 2 player who wants to get to the top of the Diamond Ladders, I think this guide might be the only one of its kind.
Anyways, good luck to all of you and I hope to see you on BattleNet!
