If you were around before Battle Masters, they used to announce 'Top Fighters' - and then Battle Masters was a way to entice people to battle each other more (and spend money doing it). Really, it was an attempt to capture the attention of all the players NOT participating in events - to entice them to battle anyway. It was an "ongoing event" - it ran in the background of all other events. Actually, it was a good idea because it even gave out points for defending - so you could rack up points without even playing. They discontinued it because it had a lot of bugs. I guess they are ready for a re-release - although they haven't used the name yet, so they might decide to change the name in order to avoid the negative connotation from before.
