From a learning PoV, I prefer watching other content creators, who are definitely better players. Unfortunately, not so many can whale into the bracket he's currently in.

Finish 6th in the new GAC mode does not mean you are among the best players of the world. It just means your are among the best whaling players.

I'm honestly a bit surprised he got up to 6th place. Let me honestly worry about the real skill level among the whaling players :lol:

Link your GAC history for us to judge then Mr High and Mighty

LOL What do you want to judge? I'm not the one claiming being one the best players of the world. (But some guy mentioned here did and then lost a match by timing out to a r8 Nest) :lol:

btw. anyone can easily google my swgoh.gg account by searching "Swgoh Antario"

Well being rank 6 kind of puts weight to the claim of being one of the best, wouldn’t you say? Also if you watch his streams he has some pretty good plays and compositions so it’s not just his credit card doing the talking.

I watched his last round against Peempo. His wins using Padme/Jawa vs MM/KK and Troopers vs DR/Talon were surely incredible and fun to watch. But did he win because of skill or luck? I'm not sure. What I'm sure of is, he sometimes gambles more than necessary, at least way more than a really good efficiency player would. Certainly, his viewers want entertaining content and he has to deliver. I get that. But pulling spectacular wins does not makes you best player. I mean he's a good player (credit card certainly is not everything) and he certainly has knowledge of the game. I really hope he has chance to be invited to the next speed gac tournament to prove himself.

it just amazes me, the number of times he says... I need this character to go first, or this needs to happen or that needs to happen at the start of a battle, and 9/10 times it actually happens.. for me if i tried that it would be I need this character to go first and it is a toss of a coin 9/10 times it swings the other way.

Either way it is impressive, but very lucky a lot of the time.

One loss from 1st! To my post still no news on the winners from the 1st real GAC from CG talk about tone deaf 1000’s of players we’re watching this 1st round and not a peep from CG.

Whether you believe it or not, BOTH Ahnald and CG are benefiting from this adversity between them. Both of them know it and both of them are enjoying that adversarial relationship because of the benefits from it.

He's got some solid stuff and for the most part I don't mind, it's just occasionally that he goes overboard and I have to turn it off.

I'm curious about that. I absolutely see how Ahnald benefits from the adversarial relationship, but I fail to see how CG capitalizes on that at all. They are the villain to thousands (and maybe hundreds of thousands) of players (sidenote: i have no idea why players who hate this game/CG will still continue play it and bash it - it's beyond me). How does that benefit CG?

First real GAC? :D :D :D

GAC is now WAC - Wallet Arena Championship - because the only way to the top is a high GP roster with all the latest toys and the really good players are scattered throughout the leagues, not even necessarily showing up in the top 50 of their current league / division.

Really good players from CG’s perspective are those that spend the most so WAI. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, before GAC the really good players from the mafias perspective were the ones that engaged into their little groups to profit from it. So, now the mafias from each arena node aren't happy because they can't bully the others for easy cristal income. For me I've never been happier with the game, since my cristal income has doubled because of that.

Personally I am doing fine. Finished 11-1 this season including 5 wins vs opponents with 1 more GL than me, close to unlocking my fourth GL, promoted to Kyber 1 and earning more crystals than I was before.

However any suggestion that high GP = top player or that the previous iteration of GAC was not real, I find hilarious!
