When I play soccer, I don't show up on Saturday and take the pitch with 10 random other people. Tell me one, since you claim "most," legitimate sport in which you have random teammates.

I didn't see any alliance last year that didn't have some depth of strategy in the eliminations of CMP. I never saw a one robot carries all. Whether it was blocking a full court shooter, preventing a 50 point climb, or coordinating cycles and rotating defensive play, everyone had some sort of strategy. And I think you're making a blanket statement by accusing all the teams that haven't had the best schedules of "not playing well with others" or "not strategizing before a match."
