The play dead strategy sure was popular in France. I also think many forget about the CC since it's usually pointless. But a faction with enough players facing a tiny fraction they can't directly hit, can still win if they hit the CC enough. Unfortunately, like the play dead strategy, that may be far less effective in Mexico. Strategies will adapt. I know we were caught off guard by a faction playing dead and lost during a streak. We kept a large point buffer and sat glued to the screen in the in the last 5-10 minutes from then on.
