Yes sir, it's very hard, hence the name epic. Some advice though, be careful how you get it. I think the epic badge might be the most sought-after and people go to extreme lengths to get it, sometimes leading them to dishonesty. Other people are watching and quick to accuse... I have seen a few accounts being blocked by Sololearn after the person got the epic badge - even my own. I woke up with maybe 100 challenges, many of which were up to 5 or 6 challenges from the same people - people whom I have beaten before. So I saw that epic badge floating in front of me and decided not to work through the challenges like normal (from oldest to newest), but to go for the ones that I saw as 'easy targets' first. I got my badge and was still feeling good about myself, when I wanted to access the app again the next morning, my account was blocked and I received a message to contact info@sololearn. When I contacted them, they said they blocked my account because I had no loss, and especially because of the number of wins against the same players on one day. They suggested that I start over, with a different email and play honest. But luckily, later that day they contacted me again and said they did an investigation and I had been cleared, so my account was unblocked and I was welcome to play again. Apologies for writing an entire book here, but I just felt the need to share. So my advice is not to chase after the epic badge too perilously, let it come natural in it's own time. Good luck...

Speaking of reporting, @Pegasus, how did you get them to pay attention to it? Because I have reported 2 accounts that look very very suspicious but nothing happened, they are still active. One seems like a male account and the other a female. I have been watching them for about a week now. They play against each other many times every day and he always wins. Never a draw, and she never wins. She would always get 3 or 4, and sometimes even 0 but never 5, and he mostly scores 5. But now, when she plays anybody else, she always gets 5. Does that make sense? I think it's highly unlikely for something like that to happen. I challenged both accounts a few times, both always score 5. My Sherlock Holmes instinct tells me there is something wrong there... Even the profile pics are similar. Both anime, but one male, one female...

They thought I cheated or something. They said 'too many wins against same opponents'. But I told them these people challenged me numerous times and I accepted, won the challenges, challenged them back and won again. But at least they found me innocent and restored my account. And I had a loss that same night so I am pretty sure that also proved that I am a real, normal human being... lol

You must challenge in html only people who in html have not yet more than 3 points from challenge and play with them max. two times, because of impending terrible draw. It means many people do not often accept your challenges ( level 16 against level 1-3) and you must reject others cause of their statistics.

@King Andre Okay at least now I can show you’re legit. You also have your XP intact, which was sadly not the case for me
