 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
