I find that this is true in my own case, but I mostly chalk it up to the fact that once an established strategy comes out too many people are unwilling to abandon it. Mid-focused games are easier to organize in pugs because every Alliance has a single set goal that doesn't require inter-Alliance teamwork: lock down your post (or lock down OP and mid if you're B). In order to make a strategy like Mecan's work, it would require a lot of communication, adaptability, coordination and commitment to the plan that frankly doesn't exist in your average Frontline. Until Alliances are allowed to queue together I see don't abandoning mid to be a feasible alternative to the current strategy. Mecan proved that the math works in his/her favor, but that pesky human element is what always foils even the best mathematical models! :P
