lurkers are horrible vs mech untill late-game where you can swarm and tanks do zero damage. (really, burrowed units take zero damage from tanks)

9pool speed has never failed me against iccup players in the d/d+/c- level. And considering I almost always open 9pool speed zvt because I practice ling micro way too much and can effectively micro lings while expanding/teching it is just so good against tech builds.

Play like it's sair dt except no dt's so it's far less annoying. Or make a shit load of hatcherys and zerglings to hopefully take up all the sprites so valks can't fire anything.

The build isn't new, it's been used before. I'm sure of it, because even I used it in the past, and I wasn't the one who made it for sure. What's revolutionary is the fact that it's used by progamers, during pro matches - and it's effective.

As to how to counter it... beating mech builds was always about map control and obviously that's still the case here. What changed is that it's harder to maintain, but I don't think that the usual unit mix needs to be changed (muta / ling, hydra with plague / swarm). The perfect unit combination depends on your opponent's mix, and it's very map dependant.
