It's no fun to watch an event get dominated by a couple teams (unless you're on them). I would much rather pay attention to one with a deep field of solid teams. But hey, personal preference.

I totally second this. Also eliminations with lots of upsets (e.g. 7 beats 2, 6 beats 3, etc.) is fun to watch... reminds me of Hartford this year.
