Challenger Series Open Qualifier Abused/Lax Rules?

I will avoid the fluff and get strait to the point but note, this is no attack on any player nor organization but the general rules/qualifications for this tournament.

At the moment an organization has three teams representing within this tournament (and a 4th team unaffiliated with said organization with two members who are in that organization, the organization spoken of is Blue Milk.

For the sake of competitive integrity should organizations be limited on entries into this tournament? Other organizations with multiple d3+ teams did not enter multiple teams, rather presented their flagship team, and I think THAT should be the competitive standard set for this tournament.

(if this is the incorrect area for this post I do apologize, this isn't the upper tier of esports but is tier 2, the lesser represented esports scene)

The players that play for a registered team can't play for another, and if they get caught, they get punished for the ringer things

it is legit that an org field up multiple rosters, many respectable orgs filled 2rosters in both NA and EU Qualifier last time (on top of my head Millennium and k1CK in EU Open Qualifiers)

If they field 3 teams they are most likely lowering their chances, because they are having more chances to get a lucky draw on some of them, but they are also diluting the talent in each roster and they have less room to make moves to substitute people if they are forced to

Orgs with multiple teams acknowledge that they would have more chances if they put all their best player together in 1 or 2 rosters rather than in 3 or 4
