I honestly dont understand why this is such a big debate. The 1 seed is just that the number 1 seed. They earned the right to have the first pick, and do whatever will most benefit their team. Why should the 3 seed team tell the 1 seed what to do, they didnt earn it? I see nothing wrong with this strategy. Also, odds are they arent just picking them to break up the other alliance, they must actually want to play with them. Maybe that is just the team they think will help them the most, it doesnt always need to involve breaking up an alliance.
Also on the GP standpoint. I dont see anything wrong with this. GP I personally think is begining to have a little too much glory with it. I'm not saying I dont like GP in FIRST, but now it is being braught up with everything that happens. When I think about GP I think you should help other teams, and that is the end, it doesnt need to be a huge thing. I just feel like it is starting to mean less and less because some people are so strict about it. This thread is a perfect example. Why should a team get questioned for a perfectly legal strategy that will help their team? I really dont get it.
GP is also all subjective to different opinions. If one team does something that may disappoint another team the team that did it will think they did nothing wrong, when the other team may think they are being unGP. In this case I feel like people are just using GP as an excuse to try and knock something they dont agree with, and that really does anger me. I dont think a team should be yelled at for being unGP unless they are doing something offensive, or taking away the experience of the tournament from others.

Sorry for my rant, I feel very strongly about this topic. If you dont agree with me let me know, and I will try to explain how I feel in a different way.
