Then make more to kill the runners who probable killed your previous ones. I always see people in clever do that in maps with two spawn spaces.

Runner spam is probably what the tc mistook for rush. This is because most of the time runner spam is itself a rush. It can be effective in lower leagues where players have trouble defending. However in the higher leagues the runner spammer gets way behind in wits. After getting the base down to 2 or 3 health, the runner spammer has falling behind by around 10 wits giving the defender a massive advantage and resulting in a loss for the spammer.
