Yep, it looks like we have seeds in the cups now. Would be nice if it works the same way once all the bots are gone.

Wow!! Seeded cups!! I have been suggesting seeded cups since season 13. They are a little late to the party but at least they came!!

I agree, it would be best to have human vs human rounds all the time with a repechage mechanism after the first round.

Example nation with 200 users: round 1 100 go through and 100 lose. For round 2 you need 128 users, so 28 losers are randomly put back to the draw.

The largest nation is currently Spain with around 1500 users, it would mean a first round of 2048 teams (it means the cup would have 11 rounds). So first round 750 go through and 274 are randomly brought back.


The number of rounds remains the same though, so I agree it's probably just a bot removal thing.

I agree, I don't think the Cups are seeded, I think its just until the bots are gone. A sensible compromise, though I still feel it makes it harder for teams outside the top division to win a Cup.
