How do Master and Challenger tiers work?
I know how tiers from Bronze to Diamond work, but I'm not sure how Master and Challenger tiers work.
Is Master tier composed of 5 divisions as well? How many people can be in Challenger at one time?
Best Answer
Master and Challenger are single division. There are 200 players in Challenger, while there can be an infinite number of players in Master (currently 600+ on EUW).
Once you reach Diamond 1 100lp, you have to win a bo5 to get into Master. You start there with 0LP, and earn points for each win, just like anywhere else. However, there is no stopping at 100 (top players in EUW have ~400lp). LP are not limited in Challenger either, with top players currently behing ~1200LP on EUW.
Every 24h hours, the top Master players are promoted to Challenger, while the lowest Challenger players are demoted to Master. The amount promoted players depends on their MMR compared to the ones of the lowest Challenger players.
