User blog comment:SpaceManiac888/Theory: Was Storm 2 vs The Grim Reaper controverisal?/@comment-6279140-20170426125619/@comment-24393094-20170426141908

Interesting fact about Series 2: had Cassius not been forced to withdraw until later in the Series, it would have competed in Heat A. That would have meant that five seeds would be in one Semi-Final and only one in the other. Talk about champion's advantage.

Also, whilst it is true a lot of unseeded robots progressed, would the draw really be done after the heats were completed? Imagine what would happen if more seeds progressed, but they had not completed the draw yet? It would create confusion and likely cause controversy independent of Storm 2 as a result.
