First of all I want to thank all the People who are involved in this decision and process and how much time they invested for this Game we all love (and sometimes hate :D) to play. I appreciate that there will be a new league between the Neo and Lite to reduce the skill gap between existing and newstarting teams. Between clubs which play just for fun or those that follow a more competetive goal. As someone who most likely will be affected by the qualification tournament for the ECL Pro I have to say that I do not see the sense in that qualifier. It is hard enough to get promoted and even harder to stay in the League. So why should additional Teams ranked 12th to 14th (that normally would have stayed in the League) in their Pro-Group play an additional tournament to fight for staying up. Considering even more that the Schedule around ECL and national tournaments is busy and gets even busier now. I do not see how this additional qualifier increases the competetiveness at this Level and teams achievements from last seasons will not be as worthy as they were before and should be? The biggest Problem I see is that this big decision is made during the season - 3 Matchdays before the Season ends the whole Relegation System is changed. That's something which should have been done in a different way. For Example: Implementing ECL Core for coming ECL12 and changing the Promotion System for Pro in ECL13. So all competing Teams know what they have to do to stay in the League before it starts. Furthermore a occuring problem is that a Pro Team that finishes 14-12 has a few weeks without a league Game and needs to compete immediately against Teams from different Leagues which are freshly out of the Playoffs and in better shape & rhythm.
