just watched MC vs Idra game 6 at MLG. that game just examplifies how difficult it is for protoss to play a standard game with zerg. MC played a perfect game, just to stay in the game he had to constant harass without losing units, perfect macro/timing to defend zerg push, pressuring while taking care of his army with great forcefields and positioning, and then he just barely managed to win the game because of idra's small mistake of not having detection.

??? You're comparing two top notch professionals doing what they should do. Of course MC micros perfectly, and of course his macro is insane. That's why he is a pro. And it wasn't a small mistake by IdrA, I think it was capitalization by MC. I saw that game as IdrA winning UNTIL the DT's came out solely because MC's Stargate pressure did jack all. So of course IdrA is going to have a lead especially if he expands like nuts knowing that he can defend the stargate units. I just don't think this was a really good example because MC did the same thing to IdrA on meta. So of course IdrA was going to be prepared for it(The stargate stuff)
