After Season 24, 133 traders stayed in Diamond League or were promoted to Masters League.
After Season 34, 25 traders will stay in Diamond League or will be promoted to Masters League.
From Season 27 to Season 34, the average demotion cut-off has gone down from 15 to 3.125β¦
Was this change fully intentional?
If there was only the intention to lower the cut-off a bit, but this large decrease is the unintended consequence of the code / algorithm implemented, that would not count as fully intentional and resolve as NO.
1,000Can't imagine this was intentional. This season, 10 players will retain their spot in Diamond. 18 will promote to Masters. Doesn't make sense.
@Primer I counted 9 retaining their current spot in Diamond and 16 promoting, so that is very close to true.
@4fa Have a closer look at Lucky Minotaurs: 2 stay in that league. I had missed that myself as well and had to edit my comment. And if I didn't mess up counting, it should indeed be 2 per each Diamond promoting to Masters for a total of 18. Fits with 18 demoting from Masters.
Curious what @SimonWestlake is trying to say here?
I really like this direction. Unless you have massive amounts of both mana and skill, you've got no hope of being competitive in Masters. Making diamond league more and more difficult to stay in makes that a significant accomplishment in itself, which is very welcome.
