OK, not sure if this really is the weirdest way to win a battle, but for me it counts as the weirdest. My team went from 15 to 0, I was the last on my team to go and we won the battle in Stalingrad. My team, as usual, went glory hunting and I was very late to the capping party with my broken down 110 (18 hps). I started to cap and...
The reason we won and they didn't was because I managed to complete the capping before I got destroyed. Bet the guy who destroyed my 110 didn't feel as happy about the kill as I did about winning the battle!
Edit:
And it did happen!

Update:
CS confirmed that "... there is a small time frame of few seconds, when if you get killed, you will lose. But in this case those seconds have passed, so the capture was successful." So it's perfectly legit to win a match while losing the entire team but the timing needs to be pitch-perfect.
So don't try this at home, guys!
