Does Nyain San still run two per match, each-and-every Ambush?

Rattati described the playerbase as an Optimization Engine; it stands to reason that some of us 'optimize' faster than others. In every build since 1.0, Nyain San pub-stompers have been the first to find and capitalize upon discrepancies in balance.
Like them or not, Nyain San is the very bellwether of FoTM. They find what works and they use it. They do not waver in course until such time that it no longer works.
Question:
Is Nyain San still running two blaster tanks in each-and-every Ambush?
Implication:
Have Alpha's HAV / AV changes prompted Nyain San to re-optimize and alter tactics?

@ Dalton Smithe
Agreed on some points, but I think it important to differentiate between effective and overly effective. Pre-Alpha, Blaster HAVs were overly effective in Ambush. My understanding is that Alpha both "increased blaster scatter" and provided infantry better means of self-defense.
Perhaps its too early to tell, but do you think Blaster HAVs remain overly effective in Ambush?

Yes, unless you stay about 50m away. But they are very easy to deal with now. I'm not saying you won't come a cross someone who can effectively use it at longer ranges though.
That's good to hear. To clarify, when you say Blaster HAVs are "very easy to deal with" are you referring to vehicle-based counters or infantry-based counters?
I should've been more specific in my question; let me explain ...
Prior to Alpha, I recall numerous Ambush matches wherein there was very little infantry could do to prevent being steamrolled by two Blaster Tanks "farming" in tandem. My understanding was that changes in Alpha aimed to address this type of Vehicle vs Infantry problem.
Are you guys saying that infantry are now better equipped to fight back?
Or are you saying Alpha changes widened imbalance between Rail Tanks and Blaster Tanks?

FTFY, sport.
Also, dead horse is dead.
If I'm not mistaken, changes are inbound.
Swarm/Forge proficiency bug, 3x rep tuning, etc ...
