So right now there are 2 people with 9000 lift: kcy and Birdy. That means they probably started out in tier 19 and are now 400 lift away from tier 20. But there are only 3 days left. Is it possible that no one or maybe less than 10 people in the world will move on from tier 19 to tier 20 this season? JFC, imagine how stressful and competitive AR would've been if not for Mythic heroes.
I found some errors in my calculations and I haven't updated, but this should give some idea.

It's very hard to break into T20 this season. If they're sitting at 9000 now I think they have a chance. They probably have 5 raids left and they're 400 lift away.
Yeah honestly reaching T20 is hard with or without Mythic Heroes. Mythic Heroes streamline and make it much easier, but you still have to fight versus the ever present shitshow that is Rein, Vero, Lyn and 2 dancesr, or anything with 2 dancers really.
That being said, I actually enjoy the climb. Something to do aside from grinding all day (which I really don't like too much XD)
