I really don't think it is.
Of the teams that qualified this year, SB, NT, Cosmic, Gettin Wild (as Cream), Dead Rappers, Wooden Skulls (as TNT) all qualified last year, the only real change was Yea Baby, and the Irish didn't play last time. None of the other qualified teams exist any more, so every single one from last year that met the 2/3 rule, qualified this year as well.
With the tiered qualification system everyone still has a chance, and any of last years teams still needs to earn their place by playing a very hard qualifier, but there are so many advantages to it, in that you don't need to limit teams, you can play them in two different locations, at two different times, and neither tournament would be anywhere near as big as everyone together.
