I think that, realistically, you want to have the elimination rounds played exactly like the finals. Changing the alliance system between the stages will be confusing for spectators, and will force many teams to change tactics. This, combined with the supposed cooperation aspect of the game, for the past two years, and even more so for three years ago, would be a step backward, in my eyes.

I'm generally against things that just outright don't make sense, and this doesn't really. The point of the competition, overall, is not seeding high.
