If it totally dependent on the openings of both players then it would be considered strategy as oppose to fta. The fta thats often referred to in foundry is P1 ability to create an opening such that on turn 2 p2 has no way to defend both his sniper and medic at the same time, both of whom are crucial for later game.

FTA is a strategy. There are some P1s that choose to start defensively, and P2 start of aggressive. Then it isn't really FTA P1 advantage because P2 then set up in a better attacking position.

I'm not saying this as an absolute, but the openings of each player definitely depends on and reflects FTA.
