Not a big fan of 2 Championships, however having 8 divisions and 400 teams means 50/division and many more qualifying matches.

As far as I know they have not announced how many divisions there will be yet.

There seem to be 2 camps on this though:

4 divisions
Allows for more high caliber teams per division which means better alliances in eliminations

8 division
Allows for over double the qualification matches which should provide for better rankings.

I'm in the 8 division camp. I'd prefer to have more qualification matches. With 4 divisions you will see 40% of the teams on the field compared to 150% of the teams with 8 divisions.

4 divisions math
750 matches / 100 teams = ~8 matches per team
8 matches * 5 other teams per match = 40 teams

8 divisions math
750 matches / 50 teams = 15 matches per team
15 matches * 5 other teams = 75 teams
