I hear you, but here's the point you missed:
If that's the standard by which tournaments are seeded than nearly all majors tournaments are unfair. If we use that metric, seeding for EVO is unfair, seeding for MLG was unfair, seeing for FR was unfair, seeding for SCR was unfair. You name a tournament, and if they had to have control over the seeding for all tournaments considered in their rankings to be fair, then they weren't.
If you showed up to Columbus, you were 'at the mercy of the TO'. No way around it.
So... 2 things we can do:
1) Don't seed tournaments, ever. Because seeding in general is an 'unfair' process given that we don't have complete control over every factor that leads to every win/loss of the people we're seeding.
-or-
2) Use the best system we can; put as much *complete* info in it as we can, and continue to make it better over time.
I can tell you which one of those two options makes more sense to me. All I'm saying is, if you use this same criticism and look at how tournaments are beeing seeded on the whole right now.. They all break down in flames a lot worse than MKi
