Is it a big deal to be in first place in your own division in your own league?

I am on 1st rank in my division of stone league. Division: Si6DBAzz2. So is it a huge success or just a small thing. And also can anyone please explain me how this player's league works?

Can SUPER gms like Hikaru and Magnus Carlsen join the league? If yes then I am outta the league.

League division assignment is based on login times and has nothing to due with ratings or title status.

A lot of the players on the first Champion division were titled and it's possible in other divisions to get more, but it's essentially random. That first division was due to so many titled players trying to get into it for the prizes.

That's weird but very likely had something to do with Titled Tuesday and those members playing their first games of the week in that event.

Yes.

The reason this happened is that these Titled Players don't really focus on playing hundreds of bullet/blitz/rapid games, rather, they are focused on improving their opening knowledge, preparing for tournaments, strengthening their endgames, etc.
