or you can play in about 18 RGs and a handful of other tournments and if you do well enough you don't need a 63 avg or to play in 40 ranked rounds.
I played in 18 RGs (got about 4 golds, 10 plat, 3 crystal and a diamond) and about 9-10 other ranked tourneys which adds up to about 28-30 ranked rounds as a Master, not the 40 suggested and I have an avg of 65.06, as I have yet to play any rounds as a TM. Granted I made a fair amount of credits, so that obviously added to the mix and I am sure that this is another one of those anti multi accounter mechanisms. Prevents people from creating second and third accounts and just sitting at Pro, TP, Master and TM just taking all the credits.
And before people start firing away at me thinking I am complaining. I am not. Same thing happened to me when I was TP and I knew it would happen here too. I also expect that if I can continue to do well and repeat the process at TM, I will get bumped to Legend. If I get bumped to Legend at a level where I can't access the longer drivers etc, I will just deal with it and play practice, AS and MP games to learn and grow and get better. I don't have a problem with it, just relaying the info to the OP and anyone else who cares. This is how I got bumped to TM.
Take care and keep it in the short grass
