Allow Tournament Organizers to directly view player results from previous Tournaments for Seeding purposes

It would be helpful to organizers if they were able to easily view a player's previous tournament results to help them with seeding their own Event, without having to go through the standings for each of the previously attended tournaments.

You can view player results by navigating to their user profile! https://help.smash.gg/en/articles/4100961-user-profiles

We need to discuss internally where/how to surface this both in the website (like seeding views) and in the public API (to allow people to build their own custom views/apps for it)

Please also make it possible to see which players they have won and lost against in the tournament. So we don't have to go to the tournament page itself then search for the particular player.

This would be a big help in many events to give all players their fair shake outside of their local’s range. Also helps give organizer easier path for seeding. I feel at some point Smash.gg needs to start tracking player activity more all around. I know it is a lot of work for them...

My general gist is that with the market share that smash.gg currently has, it has enough information in its vaults to give seeding consideration based on past placements of players. 
Currently, if I see an unknown player in a bracket from a region I'm not familiar with, I have to check the player page, check the tourneys they've attended, and check those tourneys results individually, while also judging the overall skill level of that tournament. If that tourney didn't host that game or that player didn't play that game at that tourney, I get no information at all. 
Ideally, the player page would have player history, sortable or tabbed by game. I should see what format the tourney was in, how many players attended, and maybe the overall skill level of the players in that tourney (so as to separate the high skill invitational from a tourney with maybe more players but less overall skill)
What I'm not really asking for is a full blown ELO or ranking system, as that just encourages people to game the system for E-pride (example: every smash power rankings ever)
