The "if zerg goes infestor first he won't be aggressive" part isn't true anymore. These days they mass upgraded lings and ultra rush with infestors or get a lot of roaches and a-move to your 3rd (obv only viable on some maps), and it's much harder to stop than you would think. Pro's keep losing to this stuff as well.
Also they stopped forgetting that infestors can actually move while burrowedm, lol.

But overall this guide is pretty sick =)

It's hard to say, the most successful thing I've seen pro's do vs infestor rush styles, is timings with bio and a lot of medivacs. Also the hellion-marine-elevator thing is strong, but I personally don't like that.
Even though ideally you'd like tanks to kill the infestors before they fungal too much, this doesn't really work cos the mass upgrade ling style seems to just overrun it early on. So try forcing their army out of position with some drops and kill the 3rd and get the hell out, that kinda stuff. But yea, if you aren't a gsl champion your control probably wont be anywhere near sufficient, whereas for the zerg it's simple to a move lings and fungal some.
You can also go for a fast 3rd and do some sexy turtling, but it's often hard to deal with hive rushes (map-dependent).
