[New division and promotion structure [UPDATED 17/03/21]]

In my opinion the qualifiers should be played with the same line-up as the team played in ecl11 (Rules about wildcard teams are okay), there is no need for those "Sauna contracts". Qualifiers should be played asap and then teams can start making changes to their rosters for the ecl12. 

But if we are going with that "soft roster lock" rule, i think 2 weeks division lock for the former pro players is not enough, that should be the same 4 weeks like former elite players. Or then players who are participating qualifiers (=join the team just before the qualifiers starts) are forced to play whole season in that team in ecl12 (best solution imo) 

I am tempted to disagree with the second point because one could get promotion to Pro with their ECL11 team but then attend ECL12 Pro with totally different team which could or could not be good enough for Pro. Of course those roster lock rules could prevent teams from changing players too much. I don't have like super strong opinion on this as I can understand the pros and cons of both options but I do feel that the qualification tournament should take place prior to the next ECL.
