Could someone explain to a noob like me why TLO made so many Marines instead of Marauders when Hasu kept pumping out Stalkers?
My guess is that marines can shot air as well, and they are not bad against stalkers, because stalkers do not have any ++ against marines. Plus, marines faster. Even though marauders are "hard counter", they are not that "hard" because they are armored, and stalkers do have bonus vs armored, plus, stalkers can just walk away and marauders would not be able to catch up...
Overall I think it is marines versatility that was attractive to TLO. Plus, this is TLO, he often uses unorthodox tactics.
The game was sick with non-stop harassing from both sides, then the heavies in the air war was the hotness, but I dropped my jaw when HasuObs busted out the frickin' mothership!! This might get the "first day of the beta instant classic" award.

Its because he was getting mass battlecruisers, he needs all the gas he can get. But since you gain more minerals than gas, he had to make units to fill up us front basically to put some damage out, but really to soak damage for the battle cruisers, which marines are better at both of the above than hellions, so thats what he used.
