You should be proud, you are one step closer to being on the top of the leagues and then you can finally relax.
Is Crystal League anything special?

The Leagues competition ended two years ago. There are no prizes left. There is nothing to win.

Leagues are not relevant about your chess level. A 200 elo winning a game with 50 blunders will win as much points as a 1600 beating a GM. They just show how much games you play (and win).
As somebody who has reached Legend League I can say that leagues are really, really unfair, don't be upset if you can't get past one - only two days ago I saw a Champion League (last league before entering Legend League) in which the number 1 has 45 POINTS !!! To put in perspective, I had to win 700 trophies to be first in my Champion League where I got promoted.
I think chess.com should require a minimum number of trophies before entering the league, that would stop things like this from happening.

I think it all depends on the cohort you find yourself in. In some, people who move up to the next level have loads of trophies and in others not so many. Still they are all on Crystal league, just different group. Another thing, I have between 360-430 points and went to elite from the first place. The other two places were occupied by people with 1400 points. I guess better players get better rivals and it is more difficult to win easily by e.g the opponent giving up. By by all means be proud. I climb up as themore I play the better I become I noticed. I played chess first time in my life 6 months ago and I am happy with every win and try to learn from every failure (if I am not too angry with myself for making rushed moves :-)
I'm the top 1 of crystal Any one would challenge me in a table rapid game COME ON
bet
Looking at the numbers of people per league, Crystal is the second-biggest bottleneck. The numbers steadily climb as the league type gets higher, and it drops a little in elite league, and then has the highest in Champion. So Crystal is the second-hardest to get out of.
I cant get past champion
me personal I'm proud

I found Crystal to be the first "hard" League to get into. The first three steps did not take much effort, but going from Silver to Crystal you are facing people who play regularly, and only 5 advance out of 50. Each one gets harder after that, I was stuck in Crystal for a long time and it took a huge effort to go from Elite to Champion. I still haven't gotten to Legend because only one person can advance out of 50 and I just don't play enough to be that one.
wasnt that hard to reach legend honestly
