How is it posible that 5 people have already the "impossible" trophy?

[Lezonidas]

I mean, winning 5 episodes in a row is mathematically almost impossible (1 in 24 million chance). But 5 people got it in 24 hours, how?

[Helyx]

To win five episodes in a row easily, just make sure you're #1 in five consecutive episodes. If you're #1, you have 100% chance to win.

Maybe 120 million people are playing right now so making that  (1 in 24 million chance) possibly 

[Kulzyc]

TBH it's not that hard right now. I get to the final like 8 out of 10 times. Hexagone is the easiest map to win when you know the trick, The tail one is straight out luck and Fall Mountain is worst fucking race ever, make me want to punch my wall everytime I'm 1cm behind the guy that grab de crown.

You're not rolling a die to win these games, you're competing against other people. Someone who's amazingly good at the game doesn't have the exact same chance of winning 5 in a row as someone who has never picked up a controller before.

I had 2 wins in a row but then ended up getting eliminated in a team game... Luck is everything

Every person who has gotten the trophy so far, has a sub 60% completion rate.

 

Not only did they not cheat, but there's no basis to think any one of them is a cheater.

Saw a comment on reddit in regards to this and the server issues. When all the issues were happening (including trophy bugs). Apparently if you kept playing without restarting your game, got 5 wins and then relaunched the game it popped.

 

Because the game rewards registered the wins causing it to pop. Something along those lines.

 

Short answer: Lucky Glitch.

 

Edit: But yes also some people have actually done it for real. They shouldn’t be discredited.

Over 1,000,000 people are currently playing the game. It's a statistical inevitability that someone will get it.

I got 4 wins in a row and on the 3rd round for my final game I got server error and it sent me packing didn’t get the win in the match I started after (so idk if an error message ruins your streak) but I could almost taste that trophy ;(

[WumpaJuice]

4 episode wins in a row, made it to the final of the 5th episode...lost.

My heart. It hurts...

Shit loads of skill, or shit loads of luck, jealousy is a dangerous thing.

[DAS2in1]

Something is buggy. Person got 5 episode wins but not trophy for 5 race wins.

 

I got 5 race wins but no episode wins yet.

not exactly.. you can win an episode without winning any race.. because the only wins for the episode (last round) isn’t exactly a “race”.. it counts as episode win but not the race wins.. races win requires you to get 1st in qualifying (all 4th round).. getting a 2nd is still a lose..

Currently at nine winners. 
 

Your math is a mismatch to what you’re measuring. Your calculation assumes every player plays the exact same way and has an exactly equal chance of winning.
 

So it’s far from a 1 in 24 million chance. That was just from the rhetoric of people whining before playing the game. 

[F-o-D-Aurora]

99.9997% luck, skill has a little of course but I was on my 2 win streak and lost in a team game. So screw the developers imo

[Alex8_X]

In my opinion it could be doable without team games.

Yes, a lot of people are saying if you are good enough you can make your team win, but tell me how you can influence a 20vs20 infected game if your team sucks.

Let's say it's not 1 in 24 million then, it's 1 in a million chances. That's still a shitty trophy to have.

Are you then legitimately asking how it can be done or just complaining about trophy requirements?

 

We have already seen and the numbers are showing us it’s not even 1 in a million. 

[BigTigzz]

So first people were complaining that this trophy was impossible right? Fair enough.

 

Now those same people are still complaining even though its already been done multiple times... On the day of release! 

 

Just can't win with some people. 

[lBraccial]

First of all sorry for my bad english. I won 4 in a row and then got eliminated on a team round. In my opinion team and the tail final are the only rounds based on luck (eggs and football are more skill than others jut still luck). If you are good you will win all others rounds

[MikeCheck--]

Uhh whats the trick on the hex map? lol

[Eagle]

It was clearly never impossible, just hard. Also, as multiple people have pointed out before, using maths doesn't make sense here, since there's a series of factors that can make this different to everyone playing, and using that logic only makes sense if everyone's equal.

 

And if you think some of these dudes are cheaters, report them. Because, y'know, just saying it makes you look like a child who's mad that someone else got what you didn't.
