In the years I cited, I meant that an alliance with more offense would almost always win over defense. In 2008, two good hurdlers would beat one good hurdler and two defenders. 2009, three scorers beat two scorers and a scorer-defensive (see Einstein Finals). Other games, the alliance that incorporated defense best into an offensive strategy often prevailed. (Of course, a lot of this is based off of TBA videos / YouTube / Google)
