Yes, the new matchmaking system offers a more balanced and fair competition for everyone. We had suffered a lot of bad memories in the previous draw system. The monster teams that were two levels above your team's AvQ would suddenly appear in the cup. So For them, the cup titles were a walk in the park, the other side leaving you with a little chance of success.

Personally, I would have preferred to face my main rival in early rounds before reaching the final where a two-legged games would allow for the possibility of recovering you from a bad match.

There’s no guarantee that you’ll win the final in a single match. Considering the simulation engine of the game which sometimes allows the victory by chance and the negative momentum randomly assigned to each club during the season. the risk of losing in a single match is higher.

If you're a highly dedicated manager, tracking your rival until the final day and making strategies based on the rival team's progress and moves can lead to a stressful season, as you'll have to wait for the unknown.
