This.
Early +2 puts T in a better position against any mid-game mass muta play, which was becoming 'the' strategy for GSL TvZ it seemed.
Personally, I think TLO looked at the way TvZ was being played out, thought to himself "Hmm, how can I get out +2 weapons quickly, so I actually have some AA without relying on marines?", at which point he came up with this build.
