Since not all teams will be able to present their STEM projects, will STEM count toward Excellence at worlds?

Scenario:
Team A wins STEM and does not qualifies for Worlds.
Team B wins Excellence and qualifies for Worlds, but his STEM project was not so good. Won excellence due to Rank, Design, Skills, Programming.
Team C wins Teamwork and qualifies for Worlds, and his STEM was the second best, but did not win it, cause Team A was better.

In that case, Team B will be able to present his project, while Team C would not and Team B would have an advantage over Team C, when Team C STEM could be better.
