this alludes to the fact that games against bot user's are essentially a hand out.
it does mean that users in countries with smaller user base essentially get free $$$ for the first few rounds of the cup because they are playing bots.
BUT - whilst i agree that it is a little unfair, the small user base countries do already get disadvantaged from other things. eg: Smaller user base = less players on transfer market = less merchandise
SO whilst I agree that the cup gives small user base country teams an advantage, i think they are disadvantaged as well with other things, so it kinda evens itself out.
