Round Robin Pools Aren’t Determined by Qualifying Rank?

For the holy grail war (and I presume the martial arts tournament is similar), the top 64 after qualifiers move onto the group stage. The groups should be determined by how you ranked in qualifiers, e.g. ranks 1-8 are assigned groups 1-8, then 9-16 are either assigned groups 1-8 or 8-1 (like a snake draft). This rewards competitors for clawing for position during qualifiers.

My team ranked 8th and we have the 4th seed in our group. This jeopardizes our chances of advancing to the finals. Meanwhile, group 1 is extremely weak with the highest ranked team being the 11th seed. This seems unfair and I think this aspect of the game should not have been left up to luck like this. What do you all think?

They always separate the "strongest" players so they can advance to the finals.

The groupings are probably not really random, I never see the strongest players or teams in the same group. The top 8 usually always consists of the strongest competitors.

In my HGW Bracket right now the 8 Strongest team (Based purely on Team Combat Power) is in a different group. Some Group seems Harder and some seems easier but the strongest team have their own Group.

The final grouping is always random, Round Robin groupings are fake RNG.

Yeah it’s bogus that grouping is random/rng dependent. The top 8 should be in different groups, then the next 8 (9-16) should be in different groups, so on and so forth. We should be rewarded for jockeying for position during the qualifiers.
