The FT was researched at the end, when they couldn't made it. If they did it before the round should last a lot less. The strange thing is that this guy know where you exactly are, no matter if you are on the floor, on a wall or in the ceiling. For the GL, of course, a fast commander can research it with almost no resources but FT is a different thing.
Just remember that as soon you have FT 2 or 3 marines take gone and by by aliens. They got the FT at the end, when there was no chance for them to research it. We took down the 2nd CC way back before that, take all the nodes, RTs... basically they have no resources at all, constrained at marine start and magically more GLs and new FTs popped up. In the preview image of the second video you can clearly see the situation, 4 hives and they got only marine start.
In the preview video you joined a game that was already started some time ago and when you commanded you can see the 2nd CC at west wing (0:42). Like I said, you can research flamethrowers in the lategame with just one CC. The key for marines is to expand straight away and then upgrade the original CC to tier 2 and after that it doesn't matter what happens to the expansion CC. With just one upgraded CC you can upgrade armory and research GL and flamethrower. Sorry, but that wasn't cheating. The comm just reseached flames later.
