It was basically a last ditch effort from a team not willing to let a huge setback kill them. It probably . . . shouldn't have won it for them, but I think the fact that Icewave's blade had to bounce around between Ghost Raptor's ramp and the de-icer made all the difference. The fact that Icewave was lifted off the ground while its blade bounced around against Ghost Raptor and it's de-icer threw it off balance too much.

Though I was rooting for Icewave, the de-icer was one of those great "not going down without a fight" / "crazy enough to work" moments.
