Re: Success of the #1 seeds at the Championship Event
I think it's all about compatibility. Not to slight any alliance at all, but I think at the championship event there are so many good teams that when alliances are picked, people aren't just picking the powerhouse teams, they're picking teams they're compatible with. Seed #2 may simply have chosen more compatibly than their opponent in Seed #1. Then you take into account which seeds play each other at which point in the finals...this could be a factor in survival and essentially sets Seed #1 and Seed #2 on even ground.
