Ideally you should have lings and banes on separate control groups and rally the ling eggs to your group as soon as you make them. You should hit with a ling bane flood before 4:00 and absolutely blast anyone below diamond. glhf!
Your first overlord goes across, in front of their natural (on top of a pillar ideally so that it doesn't die right away). It will path over one of your 3rd base locations. The second overlord you should send to your second 3rd base location (on the map you lost to proxy rax this was the linear third base, where the proxy went down) and then queue it to go outside your natural. You will scout most proxies this way. Your response with the drones was good up until you started chasing off creep with slow lings. I also think as soon as you see a bunker going down it's not a bad idea to throw down a spine in your natural. Even 2 if that makes you feel safe but no more.
Idk if you want all these tips but I got another one. Build more queens in ZvT and ZvP! Make a queen in your natural at 32 supply and one in your main at 36-40. I also make a habbit of making overlords at 32 and 36 supply. So 32 -> overlord -> queen in natural ->2 drones -> overlord -> 2-4 drones -> queen in main. The extra queens help a lot with defending early agression and spreading creep.

13 overlord
Pull a drone the hatch hatchery at 175 minerals
16 hatchery
18 gas
17 pool
Rally next 3 drones to gas, if you have APM to spare rally 2 to gas and 1 to minerals and pull 1 from minerals to the extractor as soon as it finishes to get ling speed asap
Dont spend the 19 and 20 larvae, wait to see if they aren't 12-pooling you (if they are you will need to make lings of of them)
21 2 queens, 1 overlord, 2 lings
Put the overlord in front of your natural
ling speed @ 100 gas
Make sure to inject ASAP
Make drones until you have around 6 drones in the natural
Pull one drone from gas to make the bane nest @ 50 gas
From this point pump out lings and move out right before ling speed finishes

Tips are always nice, got lots to work on as far as improvement goes.
