Did not watch the reps, but I can give some general pointers on 13nex. First of all, don`t listen to starbrift unless you are absolutely sure the other guy will Siege\expo and scouts late. The optimum build is cutting a few probes here and there since you will go into mass probe mode fast enough later due to 2nexus anyway, going non stop probes the way he suggest will get you killed vs so many things the T can do.
Here is how I usually do my 13nex.
8pyl
13nex (then scout, no point scouting earlier since you are committing anyway)
14gate
15gas
17core
17gate
(you will be supply blocked here for some time 5-10sec before you nex finishes)
17zeal (and resume probe production in both nexuses)
21 pylon.
slight probecut at 22 if you suspects he will be offensive so you can start 2 goons once your core finishes.
If you feel confident that he will not rush or on maps with ramps like andromeda you can continue probes and make range and only make 1 goon at first when the core finishes.
