If you can find a recording from SVR, you'll see what we're talking about. Teams picking weak teams for their first pick, trying to opt out of captainship, and the list goes on...
Lower ranked captains were in a good position to create strong alliances, but failed to do so. Good teams are rarely left for the 1st and 2nd alliances, however at SVR, good teams, were widely available.
One reason, people focused on minibots. Well at SVR it was autonomous that won the finals not minibots.
