I haven't thought of that. I guess that if you are absolutely sure you are going to win, you might as well forgo defense. However, if you end up losing a match you expected to win, you'd be rather unhappy if that happens.
Additionally, for most teams, the qualifications will be a showcase for how good you can be during eliminations. I expect that if you hope to make eliminations as a defensive bot, you might have to prove during qualifications you can play defense.
