It was awesome.
*Breakaway points are nontransferable to other games.

We were all doing the math in the stands and hoping a human player didn't land a shot at the last second. 8th seeded alliances are very dangerous in this game. We saw some excellent defense played on us by 3284, and needed every bit of the 21 point lead we built up in the middle game to survive their double balance and our disaster of a balance attempt.
Lesson learned: Know the score. If a single balance is enough to secure the win, minimize your risk.
