It didn't really work out that way, though. After the first match (where the #8 alliance had 2041 do empty cells*), 1732 played defense on 1114 and tried to score a few, hoping to come close to canceling out their scoring, leaving 2041 and 1652 to outscore 71 and 1000, who had no scoring mechanism. In the 3rd match (maybe even in the 2nd, too), 1000 was sent to set picks or block 1732 to allow for 1114 to score. So, that took away the #1 allance's defender, making it a true 2 v 1. I think that having 3 scorers to only 2 was HUGE.
*looking back on it, that wasn't a very good strategy. We felt we needed to score atleast 1 super cell to win a match and 2041 had a dedicated empty cell mechanism, so they were probably the best at it. Well, their trailor got loaded up while picking up and delievering the EC and it took away our best moonrock scorer.
