Zerg wall is a tool to slow down SpeedZealot pushes, Vultures, and Zergling run-by. It is somehow a must in modern ZvP and against 1/1/1 in ZvT.

This hatchery and sunken forms a Vulture tight wall, Zerglings keep the only way for Vulture to get by closed, it will be targeted by the sunken and shut down. Hatchery is being exposed, but by the time Vultures pew-pew the hatchery to half life, Mutalisks or Hydras should be out. When facing bio play, emergency Evolution Chambers are useful to hinder their movement before sunkens fully mutate, or second tier Zerg units get out. You can stop building them when you're safe.

They key is to block Zealots while keeping Hydras and Zerglings able to flow between the buildings. Adding a second "emergency" Evolution Chamber is a viable strategy to make a tighter wall during the engagement. Be aware that ranged Dragoons can snipe your walling buildings.

Why would you throw the game with Ultralisks anyway?
