It's not very exciting, but with IRI's alliance rules, it's what makes sense to me.

Boringggg
Same alliances- MORE EXCITING RESULTS

133 and 195 get upset in the quarterfinals by 2481 and 33, and the 2481 alliance proceeds to sweep through the semis relatively uncontested . 4587 had been having difficulty with their 2-ball auto routine, but they pull it out in the semis and barely defeat the powerful #1 seed of 2056 and 118 when 118's 2 ball unexpectedly fails!

The finals are close, and in game 1, 4587's autonomous advantage is the difference maker. In game 2, the 7 seed switches 5254 in, who had been spending all of eliminations developing a counter-auton to 4587. They win this match by the narrowest of margins.

Finals 3 sees 2481-33-5254 against 67-1114-4587 again, and 5254 succeeds at taking the ball off the sideline from 4587, but then gets stuck on the moat during autonomous and misses their shot (It's only happened once this season, but God knows the time it would happen again would be IRI finals).
5254 dislodges themselves, but the point difference in autonomous was enough, and the 5 seed takes IRI 2016.
