HKP said:So you want to change up the format in order to give 'toptier' teams an advantage just because they consider themselves better than other teams?
The purpose of seeding is not to give anyone an advantage but to spread top teams out so that everyone has a reasonably equal chance of reaching the finals - in this case everyone's goal is first and foremost reaching the LAN. None of the "Lower tier" teams have a chance in the upper bracket as they have to face Castellans, 2 AE teams and Charlini's team which is full of sick players. Not only is this unfair on the "top tier" teams as their chances of reaching the finals are lowered but it makes it almost impossible for a non-top tier team to reach the semi-finals. Plenty of other competitions use seeding and you won't have to look hard to find some big examples
