i doubt there will be an impact for next season if you play a tie-breaker or not. your fans will be delighted the same amount whether you win in 2 or 3 matches :)
because of losing an away game (2nd game) your arena income for the third match may not be as good as the first game, but still its better than zero income which would be the case if you win the series in two matches.
next time if you happen to be in this situation (extremely dominant in the finals) try losing 1st game and winning the others for maximum income ;)
