If Einsteins this year proved anything, it's that Israeli teams are getting really good. Last year, 3339 was the first Israeli team to make it to Einsteins, and were eliminated in the quarters. This year, both 3339 and 1690 made it, with 3211 appearing in the division finals. It's really cool to see, sort of like when Canadian teams started getting good enough to make Einsteins. I'm going to make the bold prediction now that a team from Israel will win it all sometime in the next five years.

I haven't seen this brought up, but does anyone know why Semifinal match 1.2 (the match where 330 tipped twice) was "under review"? Perhaps this is too much of a conspiracy theory, but is there a chance they were going to issue a red card (which would have been very much in line based on how tipping was getting called) but decided not to once they saw 330's alliance win?

Having worked with 3339, and having seen 1690 play, I don't even think that's a bold prediction. Israel is really good, guys, and just wait until they realize how effective districts are in a few years.

Is there video available of the full Einstein playoff including the breaks and commentary?
