I definitely understand how annoying it can be when when the luck of qualifications really holds you back but the alliance captains did do their scouting and most likely didn't even take seeding into consideration. If anything, it was more unlucky that your team ended up in the division with the most FCS's, your team also wasn't given a chance to demonstrate how they might handle tall defensive bots, while others were. And don't forget that a lot of good teams don't make it into eliminations, generally because of strategic compatibility.
