So many bots!

[EmilZ]

Hey, so I started playing a week ago because my friend got me into this game. However, I feel like I understand it pretty well reading what's on the forum here. Since I joined mid-season. All of my games before that point were pre-simulated (including the cup, in which I apparently lost in the qualifying). I checked the draw for the last 16, and look what I see. 14 out of the 16 were bots! How is this even possible? Did players just quit mid cup and were replaced? Or does the game just make it impossible to beat bots? I feel like it would be good to give actual human players a chance at winning.
