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?
