Legendary players are rare. They are selected every year through a rigorous process involving their year long stats, tournament participation, wins, general player perception and personal behavior. Although a player might make the list, there is no guarantee a player will get accepted to Legendary Player status. It isn't uncommon for there to be no decision. Every year each player is re-evaluated for the nomination list. There are no guarantees. The refs and judges of official matches submit merits at the end of the match for players and those who accumulate enough are the ones that get scouted for the List.

There is approximately 1 legendary player for every 10000 regular players.
