This way there is no point having too many masters, if anything it's more beneficial to have lots of diamond and plat players.

i can guarantee you that if something like this is enforced, a ton of players will be deliberately dropping leagues/avoiding promotion.

the winner of this league gets promoted to tier 3, that team should be the one most likely to do well in tier 3. league restriction rules would screw that up.

I have to say I've never understood the logic of this. Why would you do this, unless your whole life is the t4 SEACL (I think you have some serious problems if this is true).

At the moment, there is no way of determining tier 3/4 anyway other than leagues. In theory everyone could have tanked rating to play in tier 5. If people tanking rating was a concern the whole tier structure is threatened not just tier 4 games.

I think Del's point about the number of active players is more likely to be an issue.
