The season winner becomes a card: their name, their cat, their season number. A hero card stays in the game for two seasons, then leaves the shelf and stays here forever.
The board is empty for now: the first hero arrives when the season ends.
First place alone is not enough. A hero must play at least 12 live duels against 4 different cats and hold a rating of 1150 or higher (Roof tier). If nobody clears the bar, the season stays without a hero.
