Most of the alliances on Einstein were putting up 5-7 stacks a time. The difference between 3 or 7 bins was massive. this is just my opinion but, I'd like to see what others say too
148 and 1114 (particularly 1114) struggled mightily in their last two matches; SF 3 and 6. They scored 190 in SF3, possessing 4 RCs but only using 3... then scored 210 in SF6, with 4 RCs possessed and scored. By my argument, if they'd just scored that 4th RC in SF3 or if 1114 had just scored more totes, they could've gotten the 6 points they needed to make it to the finals. By your argument, if they'd stolen another RC from 118-1678-1671 in SF6 and scored it, they would've made it to the Finals.

Either way, 1114 had some of their worst matches of the season in the SF on Einstein... even if they and 1923 stole only 1 can collectively in both of those matches, and 1114 had just cleared the landfill and scored 1 RC, they would've moved onto the Finals.
