New matchmaking system in the cup is already compromised!

[RaiKo]

Hello. After the start of the 2nd season, I proudly confirmed the matchups for the teams in the new matchmaking system in the cup and it appears that each season the matchups will be determined based on the ranking of the teams according to their reputation points as i explained in the table below. To identify the favorite of the tournament each season, simply look at the top team in the matchup table.



The main goal here seems to be to have the top two teams with the highest reputation face off in the final. Unfortunately, you won't be able to face your main rival before reaching the final. It is up to the elite managers to discuss how exciting it will be to have matchups repeated in the same way every season (very similar to the new Champions League play-off procedure).

Teams placement in fixture table	Team's reputation ranking
1st	1
5th	16
9th	8
13th	9
17th	4
21st	13
25th	5
29th	12
33rd	2
37st	15
41st	7
45th	10
49th	3
53rd	14
57th	6
61st	11

Good luck!

Yeah, I can see that, I'm in the first slot of the 2nd bracket, so 33rd, and I can see why I'm not in the 1st slot... 1st has 3 Stellar Players and many players with more than 300% whites

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.

I'm a competitive guy and I like stats/records tracking, so I want to go all the way through in every competitions no matter what, and I don't track my rivals until I face them, I believe in my team xD
