The other alliances in the semis and finals clearly had better offensive machines, but I saw successful blocks a lot rather than kick a lot out of the zones.

Probably because if we had broken off 469 to clear, 359's stellar "protective defense" would have slowed us down so much that we'd be ineffective at clearing, AND be in a position where 469 was free to pick us apart.
We almost had you with the blocking strategy... no regrets.
