I agree the cup is harder to win but is the to cups I've competed in so far I finished in second an got knocked out in the top 16 now for the matter of cheats I don't see that but I haven't been playing that long but I have 2 league titles 1 Champions league trophy an a silver medal in the Cup but being that the cup is set as the biggest arena of play I think it should be harder to win also Ive found that higher level or not the right strategy can beat all teams.
