no man, shika showed good leadershipskills thats why he was promoted. he didn't get lucky, he fought hard with tactics. He made the correct decisions for giving up. they already said u did not have to win, you just have to show good leadershipskills. and even if you win, you might not even get chosen to be a chunnin if the hokage thinks you're all brute and dumbdumb.
edit:
