The fact that sea never expanded kept me tense the whole time despite his advantage at various points. I need to learn enough about tvp just to watch ^^;;

Pure places pylon in the way of landing cc, and sends 2 goons + zeal toward sea, starting robo also. two fact for sea, 1 add on. 4 goon + zeal rushing, both tanks dead but a 3rd ta nk is out. Its sniped and remaining two goons back up ramp, killing all rines as they tried to kill a goon with only 4 health left. Pure up to 6 goons again. Sea sending out two vults, mining middle ramps andpath to his base. Shuttle out for pure, robo support halfway done.

Sea scans shuttle floating over robo bay waiting for reaver. Pure starts nexus at his min only in base and transfers 4 probes before picking up reaver and 1 zealots and heading toward Sea with goons + shuttle. Pure starting his 4th nexus at 3 o clock gas base, vults run in and snipe probe but after nexus was laid. sea unsieges and pure runs goons back to his nat. Pure taking the high ground and threatening seas base. Sea pushing pures nat, leaving one tank behind that gets killed by goon + reaver. Pure engaging sea's nat, killing two tanks there and all mines. Sea pushing into pures nat as pure walks goons up seas ramp, killing scvs + rallied units.

New goons + zeals eventually deal with seas push while reaver prevents seas scvs from getting any goon kills and sea GG's as his push and base lay in ruins.

why the heck did he push then? he must have known that he was behind because of the build orders

I guess he figured pure going up to 4 bases so quickly while he was on two was a good time to start his push, but with the early tanks he lost he didn't have nearly enough units to make it effective and simply threw the game away
