New Evo Chamber Discovery: 7 Roach Nydus Worm rush in 6 minutes

BIG EDIT:

Okay, for those interested, here's a build that is much more difficult to scout, as it gets zerglings before you need to transition to lair tech. It adds ONE second to the build, as it finishes at 6:09

Use: for huge 2 player maps like Jungle Basin and Scrap Station with enormous rush distances. If you are going to 7 roach rush them, the rush distance can easily be like 20-25 seconds with un-speed-upgraded roaches. An overlord will reach their base and be able to spot for a nydus worm before the 6 minute mark.

roaches are spawned before the nydus network goes up, so you can shoo away scvs. they will most likely assume mutalisks because of the early lair.

this seems great for scrap station, because many players go for early air anyway, and this gets roaches in their base quite early, around a wallin.
