In my opinion, this is a big part of it...but the bigger part is when a team makes some kind of deal with an "alliance captaining team" that removes other, arguably more qualified teams, from consideration. Alliance selection should be based upon the performance of a team throughout qualification rounds...not upon what kind of "backroom" deal can be made. In this "now infamous" case, no one has mentioned the other 44 teams on Curie who all started packing up after alliance selection ended. One of them lost an opportunity.
