Unfortunately, that is literally how seeding works in most tournament formats. Benefits of being at the top is an easier road to the finals.
I know but i think it is paradox since if there is a tie between 2 or more players the achievement of the lower players is bigger than the achievement of the higher seed which "only" has to beat weaker players (seed-wise).
So a high seed does not only guarantee you weaker opponents but moreover gives you massive advantage in a tie?
