Sometimes you can do both, but there are a lot of teams that aren't going to atlanta. I would say that if you want to go to Atlanta you should deserve to go to Atlanta and deserve to get picked for eliminations. Teams shouldn't pick old friends just because, but they also shouldn't pick rookies just because they are rookies, or worse teams just because they are worse. In a tough regional, every match is close, and the third alliance partner matters a great deal. That was the case at our regional, and it especially showed at Championships.
