We Need To Talk About Div 1 Coin Allocation
Do the subjective decisions of the staff in deciding draft coin budgets shape the outcomes of Division 1?
No.
But this is only part of the story. Clarity League’s first season was in 2021. The landscape has changed significantly since then, particularly with regards to MMR — between Glicko, double downs, wintrading and the like, we’ve seen rampant inflation that makes the Div 1 of 2025 completely unrecognizable when compared to 2021. We can instead look at a more recent dataset — season 8 onwards looks more familiar, with a scattering of 8k and 9k players atop the list.
Still no. Especially when you exclude Ekken’s grief draft from season 11.
