Masters league is crazy! Fifty people all thrown into a single league, and only ten of them will win prizes!
This season it looks like the highest scoring person who demoted in Masters (position #26 w/ ~7k mana earned) would have been promoted in 75% of this season's diamond leagues!
This leads to a lot of people not wanting to be in Masters, and some even purposefully demoting. Why stay in Masters at #25 and get no prize when you could demote and next season win 1600 mana being #1 in Diamond?
Plus I hear there are plans for cohort vs cohort league competition, which I think is a great idea but doesn't work for anyone in Masters if there's only one Masters cohort.
Resolves YES if there is a season where the top league division has multiple cohorts, and there is no promotion to a higher league that doesn't exist at the time. So this doesn't resolve yes just because they introduce a single "Grandmasters" league and split up Masters to determine promotion to it.
Ideally, I think there should be multiple masters leagues and then site-wide weekly/monthly leaderboards like there used to be. But those ideas don't impact this market.
I will not trade in this market.
