User blog:O Raz3r O/How Series 5 could have turned out with Alternative Seeds

Series 5 stands out more than Series 4 for me when it comes to getting the seeds wrong. Semi-Finalists like Mousetrap 2 were lower than machines which had fought in one war and reached just the heat final, like Mini Morg. Stinger were seeded 5th, despite technically finishing third, while Razer continued to get a high seed due to its success in the World Championships and All-Stars, despite failing when it truly counted in the main competition three times now. As a result, I have devised a Series 5 tournament based on how I believe the seeds should have been set up, with no other machines being randomized except for those who I removed from the 24 seeds. The 3rd seed will not draw the 22nd seed in round 2 of their heat. The semi-finalists will be drawn together from the same heats as with the real Fifth Wars.
