All the rrats ignore that StartEnd did in fact place poorly frequently off-stream and those making them are either blinded by the wins or have an agenda. They've consistently finished either high or low at a roughly 50/50 ratio with not much in-between. The slight dip in performance can be easily explained due to the additional burden/stress of streaming.
It doesn't even account for the fact that a lot of these other captains keep their Rock Lee weights on until the final day anyway and we could be witnessing any degree of powerlevelling fuckery from them.
I don't think Aqua is holding back at all but I have the sneaking suspicion that Reid and Hinano in particular are. It's so difficult to get a read on how tournaments will pan out and even scrims themselves end up effectively useless to achieve that.
