It seems like "You should pick us because ~~~~" Would be a little bit of a bad thing to just put out there. Any help?

I much prefer teams that say: "we believe you should see us [do something] because we think we'd be a great compliment for your [some skill]. We're playing in match [number], please take a look!" This shows they're paying attention to your skills and the strategic implications of the entire event, and (most importantly) are willing and able to
demonstrate their skills.
Unlike most teams, I am the mentor for both strategy management and pit work, so I am in the pit a lot when scouts come by. However, I pay
zero attention to pick-me flyers or pitches that come without proof. There's just no time for sorting out the truth without the offer to demonstrate. If I know/have noticed the team already or am asked to watch them for something specific in a subsequent match, that's much more valuable.
