Namely in fighting games, I’ve noticed that bracket seeding is often determined prior to the tournament through rankings — but, why not let it be randomized? What difference does a seeded and non seeded tournament make?
Seedings rewards the teams that performed best during the regular season/past performance with the easiest paths to the semi finals/finals, while making it harder for teams who just barely get in to advance because they have to beat the best teams.
