It wasn't fixed. IIRC, there was some modification AFTER a few weeks that was a slight improvement, but not enough to make much difference.


You may be thinking of 2010, where there was a change to the seeding structure after Week 1 produced a number of 6v0 matches.
Week 1 of 2007 the doom scheduler had you play with/against the team above or below you in team number every match.

Later in season, Champs for sure, teams were clearly lumped into 3 groups (in order of team number) with each qual alliance having a team from each group. Punishing low number teams that were not elite, and favoring high number teams that were elite.
