I was kinda lucky in the new system, with most opponents slightly worse than me. I improved my team quite a bit since start of the season, which helps me too. The hardest opponent was the crazy token buyer in the semifinals (who was a level below me^^). Now in the final I'm the favorite, but only by about 4points, so everything is possible. I hope my striker continues to do well, he got quite good ratings in the last few games (8-9-9-8-9). I hope he isnt pissed I gave him a break in todays league match
The old cup system was a downer for the new players that were put onto old servers, they get drawn against the highest ranked teams in the preliminary rounds and were easily eliminated from the competition, but however the the lower ranked teams did recieve a huge pay-off just for playing these 2 games. I can remember getting something like $2.5M at L2 which was a fair amount of $ to buy some players, but most managers would prefer the chance of glory rather than a good $ payoff and a fairer chance of winning the cup.

I made my way up from the lower levels to one of the higher ranked teams in the old cup format and when I started to win the cup (with the help of some power training) Nordeus change the format and I now get screwed by playing teams 1 or 2 levels above me that are active managers that never bought a token before on this game, that isn't fair isn't it?
