Playing a lot of games. I got around 60 the first day in around 40 minutes in an arena.

Some have more than 5000 points, which means 700 rapid wins, does that sound realistic to you?

The highest I can find is 4600 points and it says they played mostly blitz, which is still a LOT of hours. And a high winning percentage.

Mathematically it's not possible since the leagues haven't been up for the amount of time it would take to gather the points. Or it's a bug which has some flaw and gives out too much points for something, or the person is cheating with another player and resigning to each other after move two for a lot of games.

You can look at the leaderboard. The top player is 4,633 right now.

Yes and if you look at his games, he didn't play enough games to earn the points that he has. So what;s up with that?

The player has played over 800 games since the 21st with 700+ trophies coming from arenas. I have over 100 trophies with 18 games; it doesn't seem at all implausible.

Could you please do the math, because it is not possible for a human to play 20 hours a day straight for three days with an insane win rate.

Playing arena isn't the most profitable. Either blitz or rapid, NOT bullet. (unless arena, might be worth if you can consistently get 60s)

Blitz technically is the winner, but it depends on how long your rapid games last.

He's playing bughouse. That explains win rate.

Someone needs to send you to math class.  5000 points is not 700 rapid wins.  700 rapid wins is 10,500.  It takes 1667 bullet wins, 556 blitz wins, or 334 Rapid wins to cross 5000.

Yeah, okay, my math was off, I don't know how that happened, but the idea still stands. It is not humanly possible to have had enough wins in the time that league started for 4600 points. There must be something funky going on, or do you disagree?

I think that's playing the tournaments.  So, press play, and then you'll see tournaments.  Press that, and you are in arena.
