I think, there's no connection between quality or trophies of previous season and the CL-draw. The reason for that is simple:
the account of my wife won lost season nothing! She lost at cup at 2.round, she was 3.place at league and lost CL-final. The quality at the end was ~105% and she is this season (again) in a +1 CL.
The problem on that: she's now 85%, has direct after server reset a 102% (+1 L), 110% (+ 1L) and a 122% (+1 L). So you see the answer, what was posted in #136 is just a downright lie.
Current quality: my wife 95%, opponents 107%, 112% and 125%.

My wife quitted, I train them only in the morning - so I think, she doesn't win anything in this group.
