Its easier to beileve that Yang and Coco were just seeing things rather than Mercury got himself and his team out of the tourament for seemly no reason Even if she doesn't know about all the shady stuff, she would have more than enough reason to believe the two events were connected. Velvet did not even seem the least bit suspicious about the fact the same group had opponents who hallucinated in two separate fights. She doesn't have to believe they were part of some dastardly plot, just that they may have been trying to use a hallucination to make Yang look bad becuase they were mad about losing and then bit off more than they could chew. The other incident clearly benefited them in a fight. Her not even questioning the "coincidence" is bizarre.
