Grandmaster Changes
The following changes have been made.
Decreased the Power level needed to enter Grandmasters by 25 to 1580 (the powerful cap).
Decreased the overall Power level of Grandmaster activities by 10 to 1620.
The current Power difference of -25 (all enemies are at least 25 Power above you) is still in effect.
