Question about leagues

Avatar of Karlabos

So the leagues started this year, right? Or something nearby

So there has been like... 3 weeks (the current is the 4th)

If everybody starts in the lowest division and the divisions end only once per week, this means that at most ppl should have advanced to silver, no?

How come I hear ppl saying they are already on more advanced leagues, then? How does this work?

Leagues were released on December 20th or maybe December 21st of 2021, so it has been 4 weeks since then, this week being the 5th, so the Crystal League just started this week. No one is in any league higher than Crystal, however.

how does one earn trophies ?  every win/draw in rapid gets you some ? or is there any other rule for it ?

i find it a bit unfair, i see a lot of folks farming points like crazy in low elo (1200-1600) but for me its really hard to get a win or tie down so i obviously earn thropies slower. (2350-2490)

You get trophies/points for winning or drawing games in either random challenges or tournaments in Live, using standard time controls of at least 1|0 (custom time controls don't count):
