You took that out of context. I was contrasting league with tournaments. Relative to tournaments, it doesn't matter as much. Most, not all, tournaments lead to an overall winner. While there are exceptions, if you see any scouts most will be at tournaments not league games.
This is much like HS where the predistrict games don't mean as much as district games. Following your logic the first predistrict game means the same as the state championship game...that's simply not reality.
