I'm confused by the new format... it's not a swiss round, not everyone faces everyone, and there are no groups/head-on-head qualifications as before.

Explain why you like it...?

it’s a league format so there is definitely
more jeopardy than before. You could
almost always work out the qualifiers from each group due to how the draw was made. Now teams need to win or end up playing an extra wualifying round like PSG last season. For me a much better format.

I understand what you mean, though the format is better as teams are not playing tactically as in a small group where you have just 3 rivals. Here you need to win if you want to qualify.
