Why would we have 4 teams make a "playoffs" it isn't a playoffs at that point. Takes the dynamic out of why you have playoffs. What the real problem is, is the limited amount of teams. Having six teams to begin with really makes it hard to have a legit playoff. If you wanna make playoffs more meaningful put all the teams in. Most tournaments will use regular matches as a means to place a team, not to cut them because of a poor performance. Then there is no real reality to having a underdog team. You just have your four best who take the fun out of seeing a undervalued teams battle there way through. Some teams perform better when they have faced a team once. You see this all the time in sports. I think cutting a team or cutting two teams would be a horrible decision. There wouldn't be a means of learning from your mistakes if you cut teams with this short of a season(it would make more sense if we had like 32 games or something higher). The reason why some major sports leagues cut people out of playoffs is mainly because there are just to many teams to have a real tension in playoffs. No one wants to sit through (for example the NBA) 30 team playoff. It really isn't interesting. In this leagues case there wouldn't be a reason to cut teams out of playoffs. Every team is able to beat every other team in this league. This league is made up of the top players in NA(mainly) so anyone can come from behind and win it. This might as well be just be a tournament rather then a league if the playoff is that small.
