Here's the link on TL.

It's basically getting to 40 supply worth of drones as soon as you can without getting supply blocked before landing all 4 extractors at once. It's a 16 hatch 15 pool opening with 4 queens. If one overlord dies early game, you're kinda fkd. That's why Sif said that you compromise early game map control. Your ling speed will be very much delayed.

On a side note, what impressed me the most about spanishiwa is how he made infestors that much more effective with the worker harrassments. As a gold random player, I wouldn't know as much about the macro but how he used infestors really impressed me and I have to say, it created a boom in the infestor usage in ladder games. TLO is still my favourite player since he was using the infestor bane, ling and ultra strat back in the days of beta before the infestors got the fungal growth buff.

In a nutshell, you reach 40 supply with 4 Queens, 32 Drones (Saturation across 2 base), A few spines, massive creep spread and relative safety vs harrass. Its completely solid vs any harrass based style and allins (Slowlings on creep + Transfusing Queens + Spines), but has zero ability to be aggressive. Provided P and T know the timings of the build, they can be super greedy with the only threat to them being slowlings and queens (lol).
