Dude, no offense, but did someone pi$$ in your cornflakes this morning? You are borderline rude today.
the guy asked a simple question and gets told his brain isnt working?
I asked the same question yesterday, because I like to know these things and Nordeus tell you jack squat half the time.
To answer his question, and confirm what you said, If your cup prize is higher than your CL prize, you have been put in a higher cup bracket with higher level opponents.
My lvl 3 account has the same Cup prizes as my lvl 4 account, because they are very similar in quality rating. Sucks for lvl 3 account as he is going up against lvl 4/5, but still the CL prize is more, so I concentrate on the CL.
