So, 3 genestealers, 2 Raveners goes just above the brood cap, at a time when you are trying to get to Tier 2, you don't want to be spending 16 or 20 influence to increase your cap. I like to drop my proxy barracks (Tyranicus Brood Spire) while Tiering up in order to have warriors pop out very quickly to get into the fray. If you micro poorly and are losing Genestealers, 3 GS and 2 Ravenors will work, as you will likely lose a GS early. I have bolded my favored build of these below, but my early micro is poor, so depending on how I am performing, may do 3 GS and 2 Ravs.

Possible alternatives for players who tend to not lose early units:

2 Genestealers + 2 Raveners (and use requisition to upgrade LPs for more influence gain) Tier 2 Push with Warriors, Hive Tyrant, and Adrenal Glands
2 Genestealers, brood lord, 2 Raveners - early Harassment
2 Genestealers, 2 Raveners, 1-3 lictors for Races with Early infiltration like Tau and Dark Eldar.
