New Rank and Again Level 1 ( IM VERY CONFUSED)

I won a tournament, and I was happy and excited, because I thought I would win something special, but what really happened was I went up in ranking, but returned to a level 1.



Someone can explain me the rankings, and what happened to me if it was good or bad? advantages that have???

Regards,

PS: Sorry for my bad english, and thanks!

That is how it works. After you win a tourney, you go back to level 1 in the next rank. You can choose to keep your current destiny or a new destiny. If you keep your current one, it branches out so it isn't necessarily the same (only if you make the same choices you made last rank-- that's why it's good to write down your path if you get a really really good destiny!)
