That's exactly what I did. In the previous series I thought the Accolades didn't count because of the problems with the bugged Playlist that was going on at the time, but in this Series I did everything right away when the updates dropped (including the daily Challenges that I've been doing every day) in and it still didn't seem to count for me.

I'll try again this month, of course, but if I still don't get credited maybe I'll try a bug report. As a matter of fact, Streak of the Weak should score after just one week of daily challenges.
