We were considered the underdogs all the way through but we were able to hold there scoring spree down compared to the rest of the teams there. So in that respect I definitely say having a strong defensive partner is a key factor and I'm sure most teams will agree to that.

As for the Championships at this point Thomas H is correct that the larger divisions and varied experience levels of alliance partners can make or break a historically strong team. Thats' why overall points and records will not tell you the whole story. Without good scouting, you may easily discount a solid performing team as an option in a large competition like this with limited matches.

You mean 1567.
The championship has shown alot more effective defense than the regionals that's for sure. Now highly effective scorers are finding that defensive teams will just chase them all match long if they have to to neutralize them. But in the playoffs having equally effective partners will make life easier for them. You can't defense everybody.
