basically there are 12 teams in the playoffs - 6 from the western conference and 6 from the eastern. they play in their own separate conference bracket first, so the western teams will go head to head with one another & the eastern teams will do the same. so the 6 teams from the west will try to beat one another to make it to the western conference final, and the 6 teams from the east will compete to make it to their own eastern conference final.
after a team has won their respective conference final, the western winner & eastern winner will go to the MLS Cup final against one another. and that's how they decide who really wins the league in the MLS. but lol, if you really need help visualizing this, i can draw up a mock playoff scenario with teams so you can see it work!
i kinda like the playoffs situation because it gives 6 teams from each conference to compete and earn the chance to win the league. so teams that sit "mid-table" in their own conference can actually come out and win the league despite not playing as consistent as the top mls teams.
