I suggest, that only the winners of a division enter the supercup playoffs/wildcardgames.

The problem:

In a division with some strong human teams the winner has maybe a record of 11-4, but will not enter the playoffs, because in a division with week bots the winner and runnerup have maybe 14-1.

It would be fair, if a winner of a tough division make the playoffs and not 2 or 3 teams of a week division.

The supercup procedure has to stay as it is.

The issue with it: it has to work even if we have more league levels. The way it is now it would work, no matter how many leagues we have.

Good argument. But a little bit disappointing. I know you have created and tested this mode as it is.

Would it be an option to start not with wildcard games and start directly with the k.o.-system. So 64 teams would enter the playoffs, instead of 48 team. Later you could make 64 division (960 Teams). I think it would possible do add an additional playoff round, because there is some space until the draft. An additional playoff round mean 128 Teams from 128 divisions (-> 1920 Teams).

Please think about it. I have the teams in my mind, who fight trough a tough division an win it, but will not enter the playoffs, because 2 Teams of a weak division are better. This must be very frustrating.

i see your point but at this stage its the luck of the draw and will level out over the coming seasons.

I want the best teams in the playoffs, not the teams with the most luck. Let me hear more opinions. At the end it will be a thing for next season and this season will run as it is.

I can understand both positions.

Bottom line is, that with more teams playing the supercup, the more it will level out.

And ... you don't know, if the team selected now for the playoffs is weaker or stronger than the teams left out. At least not for all of them.

The only thing I like is, skipping a wildcard round and adding a second full round, so more teams can participate.

i really dont see a reason to change it. if a team is in a tough div then its unlucky but i dont see why a team in another SC div should suffer because they got a lucky slot. thats the cup for you and some have tough battles and some easy for the next round.

i play wot is in front of me tough or otherwise. it would be unfair if it was changed in season 1 to fit a section who feel unhappy about it.

There are the best teams in the playoffs, based on standings...the best 48 teams get a shot.

Your point of view.

Is a team which bet 11 bots and 3 humans better than a team which bet 7 humans and 5 bots?

that all depends on the human opponents. some i have seen just as bad or worse than bots.

{edit}

who is to decide who is through and not when other divs have similar situations?! yours is not unique. If u where in one of these so called easy bot divs, i wonder if this topic would even be here or you would be thinking u deserve your place instead. all food for thought.
