anyone who complains about a spawn flip is nowhere near "top tier" - i can tell you that right now ;) a little spawn flip shouldn't affect anyone with talent. i have 2 solid 6 man groups i play i.b. with, we will control the zones as possible, but if you spawn next to 'a' you better at least neutralize it and make an effort ;) we triple cap to pop our supers and build the lead, then go back to the 2 zone method, if the spawn flips you just adapt and flip with it. it's really not that challenging.
