The problem with Mind Games seeding in EEU DPC S2

Since the following contains spoilers, prelimenary disclaimer:

Mind Games are currently playing the finals for the 3rd major slot in the S2 of EEU DPC. However, they only won one series, lost two more series 0:2 and only got in the finals by the seeding and getting matched up versus Outsiders who got DQed. This means they got 2 default, free wins. Their overall score is 2:5 before the final matchup, while teams like Navi won more series and more games (out one round earlier) or CIS Rejects, who also won significantly more games and matches, only to be in the exact same position.

Why did MG get both default wins? Why was the seeding not adjusted, so the matchup wouldn't be repeated like this? Seems awful, since they are a significantly worse team and got significantly further than they should just based on two free wins. It's not only about the major, as I'm fairly certain CIS Rejects are going there anyways, so the "rightful" 3 teams end up going. It's also about DPC points and money.
