Or it will be like some of the hockey leagues in Europe. In some of the pro/rel playoffs the higher ranked team only needs 3 to win a best of 7 or 2 to win a best of 5.
What!?!?!? That’s crazy haha. Never heard of that. I could see them pulling a Liga MX and if the series or game ends tied, the higher seed advances.
There's actually a part of me who thinks a best of seven would be a great idea IF they only took the top team from each conference. Not great enough to completely change the model of what we do, but intriguing.
Maybe they'll go to a playoff format with separate, double elimination brackets ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ....maybe, just maybe.
If they REALLY wanted to shake things up: Two legs aggregate. E1vW4 E2vW3 E3vW2 E4vW1 Next round two games aggregate. E1/W4 winner vs E2/W3 winner E3/W2 winner vs E4/W1 winner Winners play for right to go to MLS Cup. Use highest team based off Supporters' Shield standings.
