The one game lost to TIE can make a big difference in the long run.

At least the option to set the effort should be removed for cup games then.

why not a field of 60 instead of 64 then? If there is an uneven amount of humans you could give one lucky person a bot team, but there is no reason to have more then 1 bot team in the field

or there is a bye awarded to the top seeded team in that given round of uneven matchups, i dont think you can say its unlogical, many professional sports and other sports follow that same logic. I think everyone having a fair shake in every round and the best team has a slight chance to get a bye is alot more logical then giving some teams no challenge in the first couple rounds while other managers are forced to play real humans.

Everybody seems to be looking at ridiculous ways to solve a problem that simply does not exist. The Cup functions perfectly well as it stands now. How can something random be unfair? Yes, some people will be unlucky. Last season I didn't play a bot in the Cup at all, and I think a bot went further than me. Would I have benefited from a fixed draw? Yes. Should I? That's a different question entirely.

Random works. No need for change.

If you get unlucky and want to have a cry? Get over yourselves.

I like the system as it is right now. I am a new player and I have nothing against playing vs bots. I think it's fun. Just want the voice of us noobs to be heard aswell.
