Boxer spawns at the left and NesTea at the bottom. NesTea scouts Boxer first with his Overlord, pulling it back before Boxer can see it, and places it in position to watch Boxer's gas. NesTea tosses down a Hatchery at his natural as Boxer scouts the wrong direction. Boxer opens sith 1 rax Tech Lab and starts to prepare for VultureReaper harass, and he gets a Bunker down in NesTea's natural behind the mineral line. NesTea pulls his drones and catches the Reaper before it can do any damage, shutting down Boxer's rush.
Boxer expands and continues with a standard 111 opening. NesTea takes his third at the bottom right and adds a Baneling Nest, all Kyrix-like. NesTea makes a crapton of Banelings, but Boxer holds it off by adding another bunker to the front, and a third at the bottom of his ramp to wall off, shelling NesTea's ling/bling force with a couple tanks. NesTea keeps his options open by adding a Spire and Roach Warren while Boxer adds on another Factory and begins researching just about everything. Boxer shuts down NesTea's fourth with Banshee/Hellion, and also stops NesTea's third with 3 Preigniter Hellions, chasing all the Drones to NesTea's natural, and killing even more Drones.
NesTea counters with a Mutalisk harass just before Thors and Turrets pop. Boxer tosses a third up at the 12 o'clock natural and moves out with a large mech army, and begins elevatoring up Thors into NesTea's main. NesTea again counters with Muta harass, shutting down Boxer's main completely. NesTea pulls a quadrillion Roaches out of his ass and obliterates Boxer's army. NesTea continues destroying Boxer's army, bringing Boxer down to a third of his own supply.
NesTea finally discovers Boxer's hidden 12 o'clock, but has to pull back his Mutas to defend some Hellion harass, giving Boxer time to reinforce, but it's not enough. NesTea rolls over Boxer's army once again.
Boxer GG's and NesTea takes an easy 2nd win.

Boxer spawns at the top and NesTea at the right. Boxer goes for some trickery with a proxy 12 rax outside NesTea's natural below the southern cliff. NesTea goes for that silly free expansion, and Boxer tosses down a second proxy rax. Boxer floats his completed raxes up to the natural cliff, but NesTea spots it and pulls drones to destroy it. Boxer then double bunkers the bottom of the natural ramp, but they get overrun by Zerglings. Boxer triple-rax walls his main.
NesTea breaks in to Boxer's main, and kills nearly all of Boxer's SCVs. Boxer fends it off and manages to rebuild his wall, but NesTea gets his Zergling speed. Boxer moves out with a bunch of Marines, but NesTea wrecks them all with mass Zerglings and forces a GG, taking the series to 3-0.

Boxer spawns bottom left, NesTea top right. Boxer once again proxies a Barracks, this time at the bottom of his own back door, and then another at his natural choke. NesTea takes that free expo and also scouts the proxy rax.
NesTea pulls a few Drones to fend off the rush as Boxer throws down the first Bunker. NesTea pulls 8 Drones and manages to kill 2 marines. A third gets into the bunker, but NesTea's Zerglings get out in time to surround and destroy the bunker. Boxer finally stops being crazy with proxies and walls his natural with his Barracks(es?) and throws down his natural CC.
NesTea starts breaking down the back rocks of Boxer, who doesn't scout it. Boxer moves out, forcing NesTea to pull back. Boxer manages to micro his group of Marines behind NesTea's natural mineral line. He destroys a bunch of Zerglings and a few Drones, but nothing else. NesTea resumes breaking down the rocks, and busts in with a couple dozen Zerglings. Boxer loses his first tank and a few SCVs before getting pushed out. NesTea moves down to the natural to harass and starts adding in lots of Banelings. They don't do any real damage, giving Boxer a second to breath, which he uses to stabilize and defend.
NesTea starts his Lair as Boxer adds a bunch of Barracks to try to hit the timing just before Lair units pop. Boxer pushes forward and takes out NesTea's oddly placed Baneling nest. NesTea breaks Boxer's new contain, and adds his Baneling Nest and Spire.
Boxer spots and destroys NesTea's gold expansion, but then loses a full Medivac to Mutas and Queens. NesTea once again obliterates Boxer's army and then secures his gold third and begins harassing Boxer's natural. Boxer pushes out again with a small force, which gets destroyed quite handily. NesTea then counters Boxer's main, taking the series 4-0 and going completely undefeated in the GSL season 2.

Solid play from NesTea, with great decisions and a Kyrix style play. Boxer played poorly, attempting a proxy rax every single game. Boxer fans will be miserably depressed. If you're a fan of NesTea, the series is worth watching just to see how to make great decisions.
