Whether Nightmare, or his friends and himself, or we vote democratically to choose what team goes to which cup it will always be based on subjective opinions. Can you please elaborate how this "detracts from the legitimacy of results?" In case I understood, you mean some teams will finish with worse results due to their placement in the gold cup while they would have done better in silver, and that is what detriments the validity of the outcomes?
If anything, I personally think it will aid raise the skill-level bar among less competitive and skilled teams. They might feel less motivated in the league due to the lower possibilities of victory, but I don't think most will simply not give a shit during the actual matches when facing top tier opponents; essentially, it gives a reason for lower skilled teams to prepare more and at least give up a good fight.
