In the GSL code S ro16 group b matches today Symbol dealt with this attack by using overlord ventral sacs to negate the force fields. As I am not a zerg I don't know how viable this is normaly but i thought this was an elegant solution.
Only problem is that ovie drop is actually very expensive. If we want ovie drop done by the time a 9:00 push moves out, we need to start research at 7:00, or start lair at ~5:30, which is before stephano even starts his 2 gases.
To scout it, usually I start a 6:30 warren when I see no gas, 6:45 warren+7:00 evo when I see one gas, 7:00 warren+evo when I see 2 gas. Fits pretty well for me.
Ling Roach does it fine. You need to be pretty spot on with your macro (injects and supply), and its definitely tough if the protoss executes it perfectly on their end too.
Baiting ForceField is very helpful. Engage before they push you up a ramp. To do this, you need units. To have enough units by this time, you need to have macroed well.
If you can kill the forward pylon then that is super helpful as well, but far more difficult and oftentimes a factor of luck is needed

If you scout and know absolutely nothing is coming earlier than the push and you can have relatively high drones, it's not as hard as it looks as long as you constantly bait force fields as he's moving across the map. You also set yourself you're own trap when you fight at the 3rd base most of the time because it's so easy to block off with 1/2 force fields
