the answer is never they all had to find new young un-proven talent to become or maintain winning formula.

Get rid of that, though, and then the top couple teams have a huge incentive to throw their last couple of matches. Besides, the serpentine system evens out this factor, because each alliance captain can only pick one top 8 team.
