A few questions and observations. From someone who loves the ASEAN region, but has only made occasional visits this century. 1) The competition is very stretched out, one game this month and next and then three months without a group game. Does this devalue the tournament? 2) Would be be better to not have any of the Champions League Elite or CL2 teams, and a shorter group time? 3) Some teams have two home games, some have three. How much of an advantage is this going to add? 4) Several teams appear to be using alternative stadiums for their home matches. Surely this is a big disadvantage for PSM in particular, but not a help for Shan United, Svay Rieng or Kaya Iloilo. Would the competition be helped if they used the same stadiums as for league games?
Great preview, thanks!
