It was said we should never face the same opponents and yes it was in the GA notes.I have 5 people from previous GA’s in my bracket, several it took to get 1st last 5 vs 5 matchup.What the heck is going on?!? I thought we were supposed to get new opponents!!!Anyone else experiencing this too?

And more unique buffs of course that are impossible to tell what they do during the fight, or who has the buffs because there is so much green now above our characters that some characters are literally hidden behind them. lol

Things were so much simpler.

Yeah the way GA is run is based on the swiss system where you each round you face people with the same amount of points(wins) as you and you never play against the same person twice. I play Magic for almost 20 years so the whole thing clicked easily for me(Magic tournaments use swiss system too) and I got it the first time that they meant that, but I can see how people can be confused.

Yeah I have 2 previous opponents in my GA as well. Both who are collectors not players so I will gladly accept my prizes even though it's not fun playing a round with no challenge

I got paired with one other guy from the first proper 5v5 GA in the 3v3 GA, so yea i experienced it too. It probably happens more as you approach the high 3mil to over 4mil gp

You must be lucky because 3v3 reportedly sucked so now you can have a proper 5v5 Grand Arena with the people from your previous bracket!

Jokes aside, I was under the impression we wouldn't be paired up with previous players either but guess not
