No, because it dies to a number of timing attacks that hit earlier than the Sentry/Immortal all in. It's gambling that they're going to do one specific build against you.

The problem is that its insanely hard to deal with a maxed broodlord infestor army.

They are not.

Sniper Round is a dumb spell, anyway...
I hope that the Ghost gets looked at in the near future.

Wrong.
If you follow high level play at all, its extremely common on the Korean server for high level Protosses to use an immortal/sentry expand for a quick third that transitions into a 3 collossi/warp prism/blink-stalker/sentry/immortal/zealot pre-hive deathpush with range on the collossi. It hits at 13:00 which is impossible using any build off a 3 base opening to achieve completed BL/Festor ball (The only T3) by any pro currently. The only person who's figured out a decent way to hold this and maintain control is HyuN and he's known as an absolute GOD of ZvP. Even HE has great difficulty vs this style.
I don't think you understand how the game works well enough to be speaking on such matters if you aren't even aware of all the pushes we can face in the current meta.

can't fungal sentry... Immortal sentry even stronger?

I wouldn't say that he's any better relative to Zerg players than Creator is relative to Protoss (second in WCS, owned TSL, won WCS Korea, only Protoss in Ro8) so if anything I'd say Hyun is evidence that 3base all-ins are defeatable at the highest level even when executed by the best players.

late sentry push look so strong now

Damnit, couldn't get a single PvZ in yet because everybody is protoss/terran and zergs just troll and 6pool all the time. FFS

Hilarious, even competitive zergs are confused by the psionic tag. Blizz needs to update the psionic units list.

btw, it feels very weird that fungal can now uncloak some units, but others not:
Units that can be uncloaked (and gernerally hit) with fungal: -) burrowed units exceptions: queen and Infestor -) banshee -) all units under a motherships cloak exceptions: sentry, archon, HT, Warp Prism, (DT)
Units that cannot be uncloaked (and gernerally hit) with fungal: -) burrowed queen and Infestor -) cloaked ghost -) DT -) when cloaked by a mothership: sentry, archon, HT, Warp Prism, (DT)
Especially the mothership part seems weird. You fungal into the cloaked units, some reveal, some don't.

agree with avilo and others on the topic of hsm... hsm change does nothing for terran late game. theorycrafting about it is enough to see why. but instead, blizzard made the change basically as a "please use ravens so that we can actually see hsm fail so that we can buff them 3 month later". the issue is the low cast range of hsm, high cost of raven, difficulty to produce them effectively (starports with techlab 1 at a time, while infestors only need larva), and how easily they're sniped (no burrow, slow movement speed and acceleration). Not to mention HSM itself is such a slow projectile. while toss and zerg has vortex and fungal for massive anti air support, terran has no way to hold end game air units still to make HSM even remotely useful. Broodlord infestor will still crush any terran late game

It feels weird that Fungal doesn't work on Ultras, but I don't see anyone having a sudden brain aneurysm when they see Ultralisks. People will get used to it. Zergs should have several Overseers anyway.
