thanks for replying! now i understand why there is a ladder 4k+ option. but if that option is possible, there should be a similar approach if we can decide the approximate number of trophies to enter top 10000 right? and deciding that seems not quite difficult if it doesn’t have to be absolutely correct and updated. all we really want is a significantly larger pool of “skilled players”.
an alternerive approach is fetching the battles from top 10 or top 20 players from each clan on the clan leaderboard. it’s definitely not top 10k but it is makes a great pool.
