There are several games in which I've reached the top 20 recently (Djambi and United Colors for instance), however I didn't get the top 20 achievement... Is there a minimum ELO requirement to get these achievements ? I'm below 300 in these games, and I wonder if that explains the fact that I didn't get them...

Yes, 300+ elo is a requirement. Also, there has to be at least 1000 active players (players who have played at least once in the last 60 days) for the top 20 achievement to be awarded. Number of active players is not public info to my knowledge but if you reach 300 elo and still don't get it then that is why, unless is there is another stipulation I'm not aware of. Happy gaming!

Can streaks be retroactively awarded? Doesn’t make sense someone gets a streak after this feature and gets trophy but before if someone had a streak they don’t retroactively get it. Both had the same achievement

My experience has been if I had an active streak going and won another game (this being after the win streak achievements were created), I received the highest appropriate win streak achievement for that game. If you had a streak previously but it is not active because you lost a game, the achievements are not retroactively rewarded.

Edit: Upon rereading your post, I believe you understand how it works and you were asking if it could be changed. So you can disregard my reply

Happy gaming!

Is this official yet? It still has this banner on the details pages:

WARNING: Beta version
We are currently improving the achievements/XP system. This page will evolve in the coming weeks. Read more about this

Some of these achievements are weirdly agro. "Never 2 Without 3," while showing two bullet holes? Yeah, that's basically saying, "there's one more bullet coming; have a nice f^@<ing day while you wait." Some weird Trump rally stuff going on here.

Have there been any updates to the achievement system since April?

this refers to a 3 game winning streak. but yeah long thread already about this poor choice in names for winning streaks being associated with killing sprees.

I just got a 50w streak, I'm happy to catch the badge but a little bit disappointed to see it only earns 500XP whereas that's clearly a difficult task!

I have just got 7 consecutive wins in 7 different games ! There is no badge for that ?
