Arena - Win percentage or number of wins?

[Farsen]

I have a question about Arena mode that I cannot find an answer for in the FAQ.

Where is the line between win percentage and number of played games during a season? What matters the most?

Lets say the top player for a game participates in Arena mode, plays 20 games during the season, wins them all, and should now be the winner of the season.
But what If another player only starts multiple "fast" games (24 moves per day) and manages to play 200 games during the season and wins 40% of them. Then he has more wins that the top player.
Who would then stand as the winner?

I guess it generally is best to start playing when the new season starts and play multiple concurrent games. But how does the arena system work in this regard?

The rank is determined by EAS (for Elite league players) or Arena points (below Elite). Nothing else matters.

Alright, so it is the quantity of won games, and not the percentage.
Thanks

No, it isn't either. When you win/lose a game you gain/lose a variable number of points based on the relative rating of you and your opponent. So to get a high score you need to both play a lot of games and win a high percentage of them.

And you need to win your most recent games to get a high score. Because the score is ever changing based on your most recent results, these recent results have the highest influence on your current score.

I did some simulations once, showing that in the current Arena setup, roughly only your last 50 games count towards your current EAS in 2p games. Older games get forgetten over time. For 3p+ games, this should be more. So for short games like Can't Stop, etc., your score depends a lot on the luck you get in your recent games.
