I wasn't advocating pure marauder play. But if your opponent has any decent number of tanks, not getting marauders is just silly. They soak so much damage and take out the tanks so fast while protecting your own. It has been shown since the beta that marauder's mobility and strength against tanks will always mean they have a place in TvT if your opponent makes enough tanks.

Congrats Sjow. I can't wait to see you play against White-Ra.
|
Sjow's such a beast!
13-1 so far. 11-0 in TvT.
|
sjow played pretty good but tarson just couldnt put up a fight, seems like he is gonna get weeded out soon if he doesnt pull himself together
|
white ra should easily win this tournament
|
|

Unfortunately SjoW's TvP is much weaker than his TvT. White-Ra is going to win 3-0 or 3-1 I think.

He said he didn't practise at all. I'm sure that he is glad he went that far. And he is richer like at least $1200.

Better players will tend to want to rely on a variety of unit control techniques rather than make marauders - the marauder is more of a brute force weapon
- stim and snipe when the tanks are transitioning between modes
- bait the anti air away from the tanks and drop 2-3 marines on a tank
- just straight up abuse the tanks immobility by killing his whole fucking base before he can kill yours (if he tries to rush and kill yours when he sees you dropping him, see #1)
