Not true. For the majority of the matches, the team with most kills (points from enemies) wins. I've taken several screenshots of scoreboards, and, iirc, the team with most kills wins more than 2/3 times. Of course, this may be a coincidence, still, I'm fairly confident only focusing ice is a really bad tactic.

Countless times I've seen one -or a few- melee dps/tank suicide-rush ice, probably thinking they at least secure a few points before they die. Not smart. On small ice, a single dps must deal more than 1/7 of total ice HP to make that beneficial, as opposing team gets +5 points from their death while the other team loses 5 points. That is, 10 points favoring opposing team(s) pr head. Besides, the dps have to waste time respawning while not helping the team. In that regard you may have to deal more than 1/5 of total ice HP to make the suicide-rush worth it.
