They don't have to be bench for 1 week, they just have to be benched the week they join. Which actually makes no sense because you submit your rosters before the week starts and so they actually couldn't play any ways.

Yeah, I don't think the rules really accommodate for new additions to a team during the playoffs.
I'd support a rule that rosters are locked before the start of the play offs. Nothing directed towards x5, but the regular season teams work out their opposition and the best part of the playoffs is seeing the prepared builds implemented to snipe individuals from the roster based on the 1st and 2nd round matches.
There is a distinct advantage being provided to any team that then changes their roster significantly that now has players that have not been prepared for or a roster that is so vast that there are too many individuals to prepare for.
My proposed changes to this season and future seasons of SSTL are:
1) Team rosters are locked after their final match of round 2
2) Team rosters are capped at a maximum number of members (eg 12 players for their overall roster).
3) Additions during playoffs are case by case basis (eg if a team with a small roster loses players then new members can be added, but the total of players should remain the same)..
