I didn't catch the match, would you (or someone else) mind summarizing how Incontrol beat Sleep for me? You can PM me or spoiler it so those that want to catch the VODs don't have their experience ruined. Thanks

Except the chain ends up with infestors/broodlords/corruptors mass spine that Protoss can't counter. THis is why you don't play a macro or a "smart" game against Zerg, you go for a 2-3 base push and that's it.

This is only partialy true. HT tech is not that hard to get actually, unless you are so far behind already that you are in this stupid phase where you have to warp in pure blink stalker to survive. The way more important issue is that thor deals instant aoe with a sick range while storm requiere you to pretty much hope that your opponnent messes up and chills in the storm.

Maybe I got this wrong but my impression of sleep is he's a ritualistic player if you let him standard it up and Play his plan hell run the show if you shake him up he's weak

Ever seen a Leenock ZvP? pretty much all of them look like this. He doesn't always make hydras, but he certainly does sometimes depending on what opponent does.

Early aggression, Sleep has been playing very greedy these games and leaves himself open to a good 2base timing. Unfortunately whitera and grubby haven't seemed to take advantage of this.

I think you're right, he doesn't seem very good at handling harassment/agression.

Not hard to get no but the commitment in terms of gas and tech path is huge.

True but for the most part they'll end up getting ling/bling when it's that heavy muta, and storm helps againt that pretty well. You are screwed though if you survive long enough for them to get broodlords.
