Why not? I understand it means SL wouldn't qualify immediately but after a few more it will apply to you as well, if that's the qualm. I really don't mind top team privelage, as it just assumes the inevitable. It's like saying a 16-0 team in football shouldn't get a bye because they're on equal footing with a team that barely made it through a wildcard game. Clearly, the 16-0 had earned a spot. The only thing you really assume is that a guild like this wouldn't fail to beat a bunch of noob teams outside of like 5 to qualify, which is a pretty obvious assertion. Saying no because a guild like this "has a chance to lose to noobs" is pretty bad logic imo.

Logic doesn't work with football analogy. Football plays full seasons that go into playoff/tourney for position, they don't go by previous championships because it's not relevant to the current seasonal tournament. Their whole system relies around that current season for playoff positioning (as are most sports). It's also useless and doesn't clear up any of the problems and I don't see the point at all or what it would solve.
If there was like a season of GST and not just tourneys that would make more sense (where people battle for position... that was the point of the bracket system in the first place... but it's obviously skewed and that's what should be fixed). This also would make more people aiming to get into top guilds because of previous wins and easier ride. I'd like a fix where it's more spread out and not as risky for people who want to try a different guild/opportunity or try to create their own thing. Winning GST should just be what it is (and what it is in every other sport)... you won the championship, you got your hats/trophies, bragging rights and after the championship the season resets. Some guilds after winning/seasons adjust and their lineups change drastically over time... people leave/go on hiatus or quit ... does that mean that the guild that has 50%+ new people should just be auto top seed just because of their tag they are wearing has won previous GSTs?
Just because there is a dominant team in GST doesn't mean there should just be an exception for them to have a ride to top seed.
I just think the suggestion is boring and solves absolutely nothing. Every guild should have to work every season to get into seed position no matter what their previous GST records are. What happened in previous GSTs isn't relevant to the present upcoming GST nor should it ever be in terms of bracket positioning.
Every guild deserves a shot to being top seeded, even the nooby guilds... auto seed based on previous winners absolutely caters to previous GST winners. You wan't to create a system that gives equal chance for everyone new or old. That's just my opinion... going by previous GST wins is a poopy idea.
