(For example, if you win 3 - 2 you get 7 seeding points. If you lose 13 - 12, you get 13 seeding points. And your opponents get 37 seeding points.) Then in elimination 1-0 is as good as 23 - 22.

This is one other thing that confused me too, does that mean that if you win that you actual receive less seeding points and therefore a lower rank then the alliance that just lost?
