This is getting circular.
A two second headstart means one thing - if the horde wants it they can start the tap first. If there are a reasonable number of allies there, it is impossible to CC them all and preserve that first tap. A hunter can dismount 40yd out and arcane shot, a warrior can get off 25yd out and charge. Once the first tap is disrupted, that 2 second lead has been negated and it is open warfare. I have played my share of AB and gone blacksmith any number of times. I have never gotten that first tap off in a competitive game.
As far as your organized zerg goes.... that's why I wish they'd put in matchmaking. Saying that one strat is the best is like saying a huntress charge is the best in WC3. If you are playing random opponents, its a pretty good strat that will win you enough games to where you think its the only wining strat. It's not until you get to level 12 or so that it stops working enough that you have to be ready to react, and change if need be. Zerging huntresses or zerging the flag are still good strats, the part I object to is where you make it sound like the only possible rational strat, and anybody who doesn't do it is a moron.
