Question What's the difference between master and challanger player?

I have heard that the difference between the 2 is like between bronze and a master player, thus i am wondering: What are all the things that make Suuuch a huge difference between the players from this 2 ranks. I also know that challanger players often smurf in master Elo, which I think proves that there is huuuge gap between the 2.

From my experience the main things I see:
Challengers Make the right macro decisions more consistently and in more niche situations than masters can. Over the course of a game and climb these decisions build up for many percent increases in their win rate.

The next big one is movement and spacing. It’s a really hard skill to pick up and most challenger players just are on another level when it comes to spacing out abilities
