I've talked to pianists who do competitions and they had stories to tell about how finalists were picked. Elements in play included who taught whom. There was a whiff of deals being made. This is of course anecdotal and something we're not likely to ever know. Again, competitions are different and juries are different.
In this case I agree with "luck of the draw". I don't think the finalists were necessarily the best for sheer musicality and musical personality. Some are pretty bland musically. They were probably the most media friendly and crowd pleasing. I think looks even come into it as well as stage manner. Possibly even nationality. Who knows.
