Is anybody interested in the tournament anymore?
In competitive countries the national cup is over... nobody will field the best players or sacrifice training and enthusiasm for it... what a pity :(

I wouldn't call them very competitive countries in that case.

I'll be stunned if the B3 doesn't provide much larger prizes. If the B3 prizes are more, the national cup becomes an afterthought. Even then, it becomes an afterthought compared to the league anyways. Plus, you can be a lot more creative with training playing scrimmages then trying to win cup games.

Main motivation to win the national cup becomes getting into the B3, so if they B3 prizes aren't substantial, there's even less incentive.

I don't expect huge pricemoney in the B3. Maybe it would be even better if there is none.

Big teams got too much money already hehe. I'm still a fan of B3 in arcade mode.

The problem here isn't that people don't want to win the Cup. The problem is it might not be financially smart to do well on the Cup.
I would love to win it, and I would even lose some money to do so, but I won't lose THAT much money to win it.
Yes, 'cause right now I would lose money to do well in the Cup. If I won it I would grab an extra 650k, but I would have to suck in the league and lose fans for the next season. Plus, given the 40% cut, I have now a margin of less than 30k weekly profit if I get full arena every game. Not doing well on the league is not an option for me, it's a necessity. Losing the Cup, therefore, is a necessity for me (well, not losing, but not fielding my best players in it, which will ultimately lead into a loss anyway).
It wouldn't at all be a good idea to trade my arena income for cup money. I would go bankrupt for sure.
