Analysis
This success of this build is heavily based off of how you micro your units. You want to use the 6 hellions to do an occasional runby to the third while you use the liberators to siege a mineral line.
Each map has it's own sweets-spots to place liberators. For example, on Orbital Shipyard, you can place 2 liberators behind the airspace of the natural and set the liberator field in a methodical way that makes it so that queens cannot hit the liberators without being in the liberator range.
It's difficult to explain how the micro of this build works, so I suggest you study the replays I have provided below.
Best of luck! and may all of the Zergs be eradicated!!!

Great writeup! Thanks for sharing this.
Just for better readability, I went through and bulleted the replay links and made them hard links. Hopefully you don't mind.
