You have a funny definition of everyone.
The key to making the two point fender dump valuable is the autonomous, specifically the +3 bonus rather than the double from last year. This has made fender dumper after fender dumper viable this year, as driving forward and making a high percentage close range shot is simply easier than a distance shot, especially since these balls have notorious consistency problems. When you can drive up and puke out balls for only 2 points less than a technical-challenge three point arc, I am frankly surprised more teams didn't go for the easy points.

In MSC, MAR or the Championship itself, will fender bots be a contender? In addition, what fender robots are the best out there? We have heard a lot about the 3 point shooters, but what about the 2 pointers? And if they still indeed are contenders, what is the best way to defeat these teams?

As the play level gets higher, you'll notice these bots fall out of favor for a few reasons:
- Traditional distance shooters have had multiple events to tune their shooting in.
- Fender defense has developed and has become more dynamic.
- At deeper events, the least good scorer is starting to find other things to do (fender defense, ball movement, etc)
However, it would be silly to say they will not be a factor. Consistency matters.
