Had 1114 attempted to beat 111/469, they would have had an extremely hard time doing it and the close loss would have helped 111/469 a great deal in rankings, thereby hurting 1114's chances of being one of the top seeds. By playing against themselves, 1114 only hurt themselves a small amount in the rankings, instead of a great deal.

This was all due to the fact that seeding was solely based on the points scored in the match, and had nothing to do with the number of wins/losses you had.
