Seems pretty straight forward to me, Co-Op is important everytime.

Its not straight forward.

If the ultimate goal is to win a regional, your suggestion is an isolated one within a match for the 6 teams played that doesnt take into account how it affects everyone else.

Go to match 89 of Lone Star.
We co-oped and barely won the match. Prior to the match we were #2 and went against the #3 seeded team.
If we dont do both, we are not #1.
It was a known fact that #1 would have chosen #3, which created a highly likely scenario of a consistent triple balance alliance that we would have had to go up against.

Who does this benefit? Everyone? Or just us?

As Akash pointed out, there wouldnt have been tons of threads and responses to the subject, if it was that simple.

Simple is when you either win, lose, or tie when doing rankings.
