The update 26.170 allows brawlers who are on 0 cups to move up more easily. It is noted that when you get a new brawler and you want to push it, it is only bot games up to a certain number of brawler cups. Before there were up to 50 trophies where you play against bots, after the update 26.170 we can push brawlers up to 100 trophies where maybe 10 out of 1 a real PvP game awaits us and the rest will only be bot games.

[21.10.20] UPTADE: it is still possible to push brawlers who are on 0 trophies. I suspect BRAWL STARS will keep the change forever. if it turns out differently I'll edit the post again! [BOT difficulty list]

• 0-1000 trophies - easy
• 1000-3000 trophies - easy
• 3000-5000 trophies - medium difficulty
• 5000-7500 trophies - medium difficulty
• 7500-15000 trophies - hardly find any BOT games

The update 26.170 definitely makes pushing new brawlers to 100 trophies much easier with mostly bot matches early on. It's great for quick progression, but the difficulty scales noticeably as you climb higher, especially beyond 7500 trophies where bots become rare.
