A lot of people have noticed that there won't be enough players moving up to the Champion's League at the end of this week to make a full division of 50 players.
So it seems they will have to wait another week to fill the 1st division.
There has been much speculation about what will happen to fill the remaining spots.
And who will get included in the 1st division and who will be in one of the 2nd divisions.

I thought this one was well written:

Anyway, at this stage, one of the most critical clarification we need is how the Champion League will play out. With currently 400+ players in Elite, the best 3 in each division will not fill up a 50 people Champion division. I guess the logical thing to do is to wait a week until you can get enough people to start the Champion League but.... what will be the criteria on that next week to know who will be in what division of the League ?
There are currently 30k people in Crystal, so next week 1800 of them will be in Elite joining the 400ish people who did not promote to Champion. So, the week after that 130ish people will promote to champion and join the 30ish who were already there. I am going to assume the first 30 people are guaranteed to be in the top division fighting for the big bucks, but how do you fill that 1st division? And how do you fill the 2nd division since there is also money involved in that one? If the plan is to use the rank or the score people got to qualify, it needs to be known, as it changes everything. As it stands, people just play enough to qualify within their division, but if there is competition across divisions to promote "better" people will play accordingly.
so what is the champion league going to be like?

You are spot on and this is my situation. I am currently secure in 2nd place in the Elite League.
Alireza salaam be Shoma, Farsi is one of the six languages I can speak. Well, I suppose we are about to find out and I can report back because I am about to get promoted to CHAMPION LEAGUE, graze mile chess.com.
I wonder how many players there in the LEGEND's league? That is my next goal but assuming. 1000 get promoted to Champion's league and there are now 50 players in each division but the TOP ONE goes, I am thinking about 100 in LEENDS.

That is AWESOME so if you win in CHAMPION, you can get prizes. Do you get any prizes for wining or placing in the top 3 in the ELITE LEAGUE? that is where I am at now;

YAY! US Marine Veteran MOS 0203 Ground Intelligence Officer. I think I will get promoted to CHAMPION and be one of those 200 so for my account, I would LIKE to be upgraded to DIAMOND, when that happens.
I am locked in 2nd and although I might not get 1st in Elite league, I will get 2nd and should get promoted to CHAMPION LEAGUE next week. That is so cool and what is the prize for winning LEGENDS league, just curious? Tha tis my ultimate goal. I also just got invited to Las Vegas Chess Club.
Alireza Sallam be Shoma, I will let you know, Farsi is one of my 6 language's, along with English, German, Russian, Italian, and Turkish.
FINALLY- I did not know there are different divisions in CHAMPION so I am assuming then you start out at 2nd division? How do you get promoted to 1st division in Champion or if you place 1st then you should just go to Legends I suppose.

There were only prizes when the Leagues were first released and only for the very first Champions divisions (which happened to be three). That contest ended in February 2022 and there are no prizes anymore.
