I'll speak for myself now.
I am level 4 with a 101.8% (40.5) roster quality. I have already qualified for next season's CL and as a champion most likely.
This season as a champion I was put in the CL with all the teams one level above me. More specifically there was a team with a roster which is rated at 139.3% (49.8) total quality (7 players with 8*!!!!).
Now tell me if this is fair at all. It's Nordeus basically telling me you either have to buy tokens to be competitive or you have to tank for a couple of seasons which is something I never considered doing but very much fancy now.

The cup was very balanced though, so I got to give you that. But, I'm not really sure if this wasn't just pure luck somehow.
