Swiss system in the future is on the cards - but we'll need to overcome the problems in the past running Swiss in a cup (match delays preventing next round generation, signups numbers being less than non-Swiss cups).

Personally I think the breaks between games were a bit too long. People should not be too late anyway and long golden cap games can be avoided by just having ties, or like first to cap mid wins the map (like a sudden death or something).

And let's say your opponents were late for a game that ended up being a golden cap, maybe you don't have time to cook food or get food or w/e. Shorter breaks with 1 or 2 longer breaks would be very epic imo.

charle- one of the biggest issues ive had with cups is being one of the higher end open bracket teams who just play vs noobs all day and get knocked out vs a prem team in the first bo3 and see the teams who we rolled over get rewarded by not going up against a prem team but continuing in an open bracket (could some kind of new div for the prem mizes / div1 teams be implemented to prevent div 1 vs low in the groups?)

This!! Obviously it would have to involve some value judgement on what teams are the best, but having like the 8 highest div / suspected best teams play in a separate division could be cool too. Most of those teams would have qualified in an open bracket anyway. (unless they face each other)

I don't like the open groups so i didn't play the cups.
The gap between the skill level in the open group is too high so either you roll enemies or they roll you. It's not competitive and you are probably not gonna learn/improve at all.
