Mummy over 9 pools. Looking to apply bo pressure so pure cant go nexus first. Mummy scouts the right way. Interesting.. he sends out an early drone and expands to his 2nd nat first. Pure wisly expands before making a cannon.

2lings chase the probe trying to harass/block the drone making the nat hatch. Cannon up now, and a gateway.

Mumyung scouting correctly with his first ovie.

Pure sends a probe and it went to 12. Pure puts down an pylon and then a forge. Forge first FE for him. Mumyung overpools and then expands to 12 center. Nice to see someone with an alternate Z opening.

Mumyung actually wants to double expand but Pure's gay probe has delayed the 2nd expo to the back nat for several seconds. A couple of lings chase the probe out.

Gas for mummy as well. His 2nd nat hatch is finished. The probe is still alive and at full health. Lair started. Cy core completed for pure.

Quick stargate for pure and hes harassing the second nat with a zeal. This is big, mummy forced to pull 6 drones from his 2nd nat and loses 2 at his main. Another zeal comes and kills 2 lings.

Of course it's viable, it's just not the most common play and clearly boxer decided it was worth the risk to put himself behind in dealing with it.

in tvt its either vults, tanks, or wraiths. i don't really see how 1/3 of your choices available isn't considered playing standard.

Pure is raping the hell out of mummy so far

His sair is hitting ovies. Hes taken out 3 drones at least plus some lings with his first 2 zeals. Mummy goes for a speedling counter but 2 cannons and a very nice block with zeal + probe keeps mummy from even trying to attack.

Mumyung how making a very fast lair. Just shorly after his 2nd hatch finished. The first 100 mined gas went into the upgrade.

Pure comes in with a zealot and forces Mumyung fo run 6 drones from the center expo to the main where he proceeds to kill a drone. The zeal along with a probe run into teh nat and distrupt some mining there before lings take them out.

Pure has gotten a stargate nd has one sair harassing. Mumy focues production on speedlings for bit and now has a sizable group prowling the map. He has a hydra den but no hydras as of yet.

Spire completed and pure does lose his first sair. He starts cannons at his main/nat min lines but only 1 each. Smart because mummy isnt making mutas. Pure moves out with 5 speed zeals and an archon. Mummy gets 1 sunk up in time and manages to hold off the timing attack. Pure keeps all his units alive though.

Just as a note, I think Boxer was trying to play mind games, but Nada happened to pick the one opening that completely countered it. Over-thought, perhaps? In a TvT, without much scouting (beyond the first SCV it takes a bit before you get academy for scan scouting), if the other guy hasn't fast expanded, you're probably going to be expecting some sort of push. So Boxer probably hoped that Nada would see that and react accordingly. Except Nada's tech choice was the perfect counter to it.

Pure hitting the main now and mummy pulls drones, losing 4 or so. Wow great archon micro, he has the first still alive as a second joins the fight.

Lurkers out for mummy so he has some breathing room for now, but pure has obs already. Mummy definitely struggling this game.

Spire was finished for mumy and he killed Pure's sloppy sair with scourge. Pure is focusing on zealot/archon/ht at the moment. He does not focus on making any more sairs.

6 zeals and an archon come toward the center nat but run back. Now the engage again but the force is too small and it is repelled by lings and sunkens.

Pure is expanding toward his center base. He has an observatory and an obs floating over Mumy's base. Mumy focusing on lurkerling at the moment takes out a lone obs ner his base. He has 3 evos going for hardcore upgrades.
