And yet I just came from San Diego, where the number one Alliance lost both finals matches to the number two Alliance,the first one handily due to mistakes on their end, and the second by a single point, with nearly perfect games played on both sides. It's not quite that predictable, notably BECAUSE of mistakes, or simply cohesion among Alliance partners.

Both the first seed and first pick were VERY good robots, as should require not much proof. The second seed and their first pick were also just really good too.
