The eight seed captain was almost never the eighth ranked team because of inter picking in the top 8. It it is usually the 11th, 12th or 13th ranked team because of that interpicking. I don't think that this evens things out that much because the very best teams will be the ones ranked the highest. IMO the only chance a lower seeded alliance has to advance is if they improve from their qualification performance significantly.
