Even with Minotaur's gyro control, I expected that Minotaur count-out as much Witch Doctor's team. When that didn't happen, Witch Doctor hurt itself by not being more aggressive.

It's been explained a billion times all over social media, but the reason they stopped attacking was because their ref kept telling them to expect Minotaur to be counted out at any moment. Minotaur's ref was planning to start a countdown but Team Riobotz was aggressively telling him not to and insisting he had control.
As per the rules, a count-out will not take place if a bot is actively engaging their opponent, and so Witch Doctor held off on attacking, believing that a countdown was going to take place any moment, for a moment straight, due to what their ref was telling them. See what happened to Rotator in the Round of 16 for why to hold off on attacking a compromised opponent. Rotator had the match in the bag, but insisted on attacking, which prevented a count-out, and the tide of battle turned against them and they lost.

Witch Doctor vs Minotaur should've been a double count-out or maybe a Witch Doctor count-out , but not an unstick. And Minotaur was denied an opportunity to gyro/crab a hit in before that occurred.

Again, the rules explicitly state that bots can request an unstick when stuck in part of the battle box which isn't a moving hazard. Numerous un-sticks have taken place throughout the entire season, they were just edited out for television.
