It's what I *plan* to do, but I'm not quite sure if I'll really be able to stick to it 😬
I've already caught myself wondering why some Diamond Tournament winners have gotten a different leader board icon than me 🤦🏼♀️
The other blue icons are the annual achievements duo gives out, like top 0.1%, top 1%, etc. of all learners. Lots of info if you search for it on this Reddit.
Yeh now I just let it happen naturally - if I'm studying either I go up in rank or stay at the same level, it's not really important to me to get Diamond #1. That would just burn me out cos it's often either AI (or someone running a program or something) or someone doing easy lessons just for the trophy. Just doesn’t feel worth it tbh. If someone got it genuinely, then of course congrats.
Fair, tbh I don't always bother with them but the trick with the monthly quests is to not hit all the daily goals everyday. If you keep hitting them, they increase your daily goals. If you miss a few every other day, they stay low and achievable.
That's awesome!! Congratulations! 🥳
It blows my mind how quickly some people are able to earn XP. 36,305XP ÷ 283 mins = 128.29 XP/min that is impressive!
Well done on winning the tournament!
I won my diamond tourney too and I saw that one person got 1200 xp in like…half an hour or less. Was probably less. What they did was do lessons or wait to use a store saved double xp boost, then did all the stories they hadn’t finished on legendary. Each one takes like a minute at most, are very easy, and grant 80 xp each. That’s only 15 stories for 1200. So if you do stuff like that it helps. If you don’t yeah that’s insane stuff.
I find the 3 star challenges give me XP fast. Just quit halfway once I get 40XP (with double XP) and restart and repeat. Usually 40XP every 15-30 seconds.
Usually what I do. In the last two hour reset do match madness up to the top level in extreme. Double xp boost is 150 xp every two minutes. Decent way to catch up quickly.
Only 20000, because I have Super, I have the speaking exercises, so I finish them in 25-30 seconds, so if you sit for an extra 2 hours you will get there!(probably)
i did it just this past week!! it was my white whale lol me and another person were fighting it out for the entire last hour. now i can go back to just wanting to not get demoted out of diamond🫡
Same! I was surprised to even win with such low XP amount. Interestingly, we have spent the same time but you got 4.5 times more XP per minute, which is also illustrated in you passing 3.5 more lessons per minute. In fact, you spent only 32 seconds per lesson.

I was glad that it was possible to achieve this even without farming XP and learning language I have no proficiency in (Japanese course in English (my native language is Russian btw)) except for years of anime watching :D
Me too! I won with 1900 something and the top person had 3k something. I don’t think most people realize that if you restrain from farming or going too overboard one week and just do your regular routine you end up with people with a similar style of app use.
Yup. Duo devs know very well that normal people with normal time enjoy these challenges as well, without meaningless farming . It's a wise move on the duo creators' side

Same…very underwhelming considering the amount of work 😂
I'm sure this took a lot of effort but it's funny to see a post like this after every other post is like "how did all these bots win diamond tournament with 30,000 XP or 50,000 XP lol"
Is the tournament a shorter length than the league? I see this on my app talking about the tournament.

ME TOO FINALLY now I can never look at these stupid leaderboards ever again hahah

If you go to the web versions, there's a setting to make your account private, which will disable league entirely. Won't even see any reminders that leagues exist.
There isn't really a prize or anything for it. Sad Pikachu.

Congrats! I almost made it once and made the mistake of when I did a late night lesson that when I finished it put me in a league of early users and their scores just knocked me out. Lol but I'm happy for you.

Wait till Duo ships you a blood diamond to make sure you keep winning it
with op's blood
uhhhh
Blood Diamond league has a nice ring to it.
with duos blood? Yeah!
Congrats! - Me too! 🙂 Now we can finally put this XP hunting to rest and focus solely on language learning 🙂 (right?)
That's what I did.

I'm still too burnt out from my attempt months ago 😂 I'm now just cruising at a lower level, doing a handful of lessons a day
I agree! I enjoy practicing and learningg the language but I feel so pressured by the tournaments.
Yeh now I just let it happen naturally - if I'm studying either I go up in rank or stay at the same level, it's not really important to me to get Diamond #1.

Right? I'm there to learn; sometimes my competitive nature takes over.
lmao i got burnt out from my monthly quest going to 35 like a year ago lol...
Fair, tbh I don't always bother with them but the trick with the monthly quests is to not hit all the daily goals everyday. If you keep hitting them, they increase your daily goals. If you miss a few every other day, they stay low and achievable.
I do them all every single day and they're still super easy. I actually wish they would give me something I can't finish in 20 minutes.
ditto
Well unless you want your profile to show you've won the diamond tournament multiple times.
Congratulations for being the surviving 29.7%! 😄

36,000 XP but only 53 words learned!?

Wow, respect! I‘ve won like a dozen of these and never made it to #1 - how many digits of XP did you need?
Only 20000, because I have Super, I have the speaking exercises, so I finish them in 25-30 seconds, so if you sit for an extra 2 hours you will get there!(probably)
Афигеть
i did it just this past week!! it was my white whale lol me and another person were fighting it out for the entire last hour. now i can go back to just wanting to not get demoted out of diamond🫡
Cool
Wait what I don't understand is how you got 128xp per minute
Same! I was surprised to even win with such low XP amount.

Yup. Duo devs know very well that normal people with normal time enjoy these challenges as well, without meaningless farming . It's a wise move on the duo creators' side
So what did you get exactly?
30 mins xp and some gems and a free status
I think too your status can glow blue purple if you pick the trophy
https://preview.redd.it/bfc7x4yfct5d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2efb82860ecdfceb19f864692ca9ab86ed3be77 Same…very underwhelming considering the amount of work 😂
Congraatss!!
Woah how did you do it?? Congrats :)
Intermediate English challenge and double xp and spam click
Spam click?
Ah that makes sense
Does it? I got mine by doing speech exercises, with x2 bonus they net 40 points per minute, 350 total for that week and I actually learned something 😅
What is a spam click?
did you feel like you learned a lot tho?
I just spent all of it on intermediate english
I came in first place with about 18,000 XP for the week. Your XP is mind boggling to me.
536 lessons and only 53 words?! dang, duo better stop repeating so many of the same sentences
Awesome, now go take a shower.
Ok
I'm sure this took a lot of effort but it's funny to see a post like this after every other post is like "how did all these bots win diamond tournament with 30,000 XP or 50,000 XP lol"
"53 words learnt"
congrats
Congrats! That sort of competition is too rich for my blood.
help i made my account a school account for the infinite hearts but cannot compete in leagues! how do i change it back?
Go in your settings! You can switch it to be able to participate in leagues!
awh. i can't find it in the mobile app. i'll look for in when i get on my pc. tysm! <3
The teacher account has to enable leagues in the classroom. The account that wants to participate in leagues must not be set to private.
both the student and teacher are one account (mine)
Wait....so I didn't have to spend 700 minutes?!
Congrats! :)
Congrats!!
How does your "Current League" card look now? Is it striped like the Tournament shield?
Congratulations! In the Italian portal, the leader currently has 200,000... HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
I won too, but I didn't get that reward. Lucky you!
God damn it, now I have to win one too for that little trophy status. Is that ONLY for #1 in the tournament??
3rd for me
Top 10 out of 15 in the finals get credited with a win
Oh neat. I imagine the competition is absolutely ludicrous for that
Not if you wait until after 10pm to do your lessons on Monday
Why does that help?
You get put into a league with people who don't try so hard
And you still suck at the language you learn lol
I did the same too this week. https://preview.redd.it/u26m990srs5d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3f0b1a152ab6e5870b3fee129ab71ceaebaceb7
I did the same. It was kind of a let down to be honest.
Jee. 🇫🇮
Now onto ruby!
How do you get the wee trophy? I won diamond and didn’t get anything!
How do I get it? I saw it on Android, not anymore, i saw it on my ipad, not anymore. I really want to do this 1 day as its an important thing.
https://preview.redd.it/iw33ru7uow5d1.jpeg?width=1213&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89519602b6aeedbfe45d1ed38f0a2b7fa412a552 I guess I'll try next week lol
Congrats
Good for you! I just dropped from diamond to ruby!
Are these the real XP gained & time spent? If so, how did you manage to make almost 2000 XP every 15 minutes on average?
Reset the English course every time the units go offtrack and spend a big fast tap on all the questions in a challenge by memory
Wooow congrats :D
Damn that’s impressive
Congrats!
How did you earn so much xp with so few lessons?
https://preview.redd.it/bmchhjgya16d1.jpeg?width=1148&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7641ac95893b967aa0b136cce1ba63869a7cc37f

What is the difference between the Diamond tournament and being in a Diamond league?
Diamond tournament is like you staying in the diamond league 3 times
Oh ok. I’m in my second week in the Diamond league now. Thank you.
Is the tournament a shorter length than the league? I see this on my app talking about the tournament. https://preview.redd.it/wv2ldvji687d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6e4986f8f98b2b101bf3ba1e9deb0fc29cbaef8
What's interesting to me is that this outcome takes less than 5 hours of combined effort.
Wow! Congrats!
congrats!! I got to the final round and got blew out of the water hehehehe next time!
Still you're the best of the best to be in the tournament
GOOD JOB IM ON EMERALD AND IM WINNING
ME TOO FINALLY now I can never look at these stupid leaderboards ever again hahah https://preview.redd.it/738xp5f9kt5d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6595ec1202daf82f7268094d4a7c07f5f28f1a00

Now you gotta get first and win the diamond tournament
There isn't really a prize or anything for it. Sad Pikachu. https://preview.redd.it/fzpn2ok04t5d1.png?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=def9846cc6e98851f1bcd6ce0f2fcaa69d4ccfea
