A particularly interesting point
Dexter and Mokshith were extremely efficient:
- Dexter: 23 wins / 30 games = 76.7%
- Mokshith: 22 wins / 29 games = 75.9%
But they played fewer games than Niranjan and therefore accumulated fewer total arena points.
This shows two different ways to succeed in a marathon arena:
Volume + consistency — Niranjan
High winning efficiency — Dexter & Mokshith
Both volume and dominance — Arshithv
