Name changes
Same player, new name: these top 200 players changed their display name during September 2026. We track every player by a stable internal id, so a rename never hides a history. Underlined entries are complete identity changes, with nothing in common with the previous name.
Entries this month that cannot be verified against our snapshot history, or gains that would require an implausible amount of daily play. Pace estimates and history checks, not accusations.
Bakwit
entered the all-time top 200 directly at #149 with 26,402,061 Brilliance and no prior history in our snapshots.
Unverified new
A first sync can carry months of play at once, so the entry is excluded from the totals until a later snapshot confirms it.
