If a player scores 1 point on offense (capping one battlefield) but cannot win that way, then the opponent burns out due to triggered abilities, does the attacking player win by reaching 8 points total (7 + 1 from cap + 1 from opponent's burnout)?

Answer
Ruling: Yes, the attacking player wins the game. The point gained from the opponent burning out counts as the 8th point and can win the game immediately.
Sequence:
- Attacking player caps one battlefield, gaining 1 point (going from 7 to 8 points)
- Since they cannot win by single capping on offense, they would normally draw a card instead
- However, their unit movement triggers the opponent's Volibears, causing the opponent to burn out
- The burnout gives the attacking player another point
- This point can be the 8th point that wins the game
