Your master cylinder probably blew due to improper placement/adjustment of the two sensors on the pedal. Those sensors control how much clutch fluid is allowed into the master cylinder and if screwed on at the wrong depth, the master cylinder will have an improper amount of fluid in it, which will cause the already weak mechanism to prematurely fail.
What? They're not sensors, they're switches. They have nothing to do with the master failing. Incorrect adjustment of the master pushrod is what causes it to fail. Pushrod has to be square to the bore of the MC. If it's at an angle, it causes premature wear of the mc seals.

Even worse things can happen if those switches are incorrectly adjusted.

1) Premature clutch wear due to lack of full engagement
2) Difficulty in shifting due to clutch not fully releasing

Both of these can be much costlier than replacing the MC.
