some would argue to get viper on the most difficult route to victory, just because he is the best ;No I mean it doesn't matter. It is totally fine if there is no way to become #1 seed even with playing a million games in the two weeks and reaching 4k elo. This is not unfair, if someone has deserved this spot with previous tournament performances, in this case by winning almost every tournament in the last year.
this method you're talking about puts him in the easier position to be the best, that is the loop flaw: to get 100 points for next tournament viper has to beat bl4ck and another 2300 player(name one that don't go to 2500) ; to get 100 points for the next tournament, the average 2500-2600 competitor must beat other 2 2500-2600 competitors, much harder then what viper has to do
