The removal of leagues, I'm sorry to say, was a bizarre and unforgivable betrayal of the core values and initial design of the game. Splinterlands hasn't been the same in years now BUT this one change to Survival mode is exactly what I personally wanted to see from the game.
Other than tournaments there's not really a very competitive scene at the moment but now players of all levels will potentially have a fun and fair environment to compete in and look forward to every season. I'm very excited and curious to see how it shapes out!

Well done 😉👏👏

You must do something similar for the main game mode too now, the experience there is unfair and utterly unenjoyable. I know there's challenges with match liquidity and such but any change that will bring us closer to having leagues or brackets or whatever you wanna call them will be a good change. Bring this same philosophy to Modern Ranked and the game will finally be FAIR and FUN again!
