General Is micromanagement (Micro) more important than Macromanagement (Macro)?

I was just checking one old replay from StarCraft and honestly, people shouting “macro is king” always sound funny to me. If your micro is trash, one small group of units will wipe out your entire expensive army. Back then, my cousin used to win games with fewer resources just because his unit control was excellent. Macro gets you rich but micro keeps you alive. And once you start to panic, everything would not work well.
