I don't really see the problem with that. Recently in Harmonies there was a single elimination tournament of 512 players, and the 8 players that were in the quarter finals were, more or less, the best 8 current players at the game.

I understand that it can be nice to shake things up and make things more random, but I also really like when a tournament ultimately comes down to the best players meeting each other.

It's like in football I prefer it when the final stages are a big showdown between the historical teams, rather than when some surprises invite themselves in. But at the end of the day, it's personal preference.
