I think there's a key difference to this year's game. There is no winning and losing until the very last match. It's not fixing a match if there's no match to be played. The goal for each alliance is to pure and simple get the most points in the match.
It took a minute to make a stack and mere seconds to destroy it.
It's like they took away the violence from the 2003 game and replaced it with the passive co-existence of 2001.
