By the elims, they've warmed up quite a bit. Of course, by Championship quals, you've got the teams who played through elims once already, and by Championship elims, anybody that isn't awesome (or otherwise on an alliance) is already crating up.
Yes this has always been the case, but one could argue that it was especially bad this year. The necessity of robots working together combined with a build season plagued by inclimate weather created a particularly bad year for watching qualification matches.
