I also want to know, because, if I'm correct, Super League has two more games than CL.
It seems like, you get an "disadvantage", if you are not at Top4 to play CL... but I really don't see, why cup need that change, because the draw is stupid as always.
Maybe, Nordeus make a draw-fix later, and that was just step one.
But at the moment/at first look, it's only, cup is a bit easier.
