Sure, a purely defense bot could win the match lets say 5-0... but then what happens if you slip up and suddenly your opponent wins the next match? Meanwhile, if you had optimized your score a little better the first match, all you have to do is win the next one or keep it low scoring. Whoever wins the first match in an elim series is going to be much better off than in previous years, and not just psychologically.
