Like Karthik said, there was the inherent flaw in the chokehold that it would ruin your ranking if you did it every qualification match.

It wasn't an inherent flaw. They rarely needed competent alliance partners, so seeding first was not important to them. It wasn't until Championships (and perhaps Einstein) that they were really bailed out by the other talent on their alliance.
