GAC Issue
Somehow I just won my GAC round, but I was relegated back from K3 to K4. I’m not sure how that happened.

As another posted, the squish had been happening for quite a while and many of us that live on the edge of brackets get pushed down after the first battle in the new season after a squish.
the real question is what are CGs end state goals with the size of each bracket?
The rewards are crystals the lifeblood of the game to progress. Are they determined to slow progression down for those that don’t spend actual money to keep pace with those around the same GP level?
I think their goal is for GAC to reward based on overall rank. If you’re an average player, you should be in Chromium, if you’re in the top 20% you should be in Kyber. The squish mostly seems to be used to nudge the population on the whole toward that distribution.
I know a lot of players feel like they should have a steady progression upward, and it would probably feel more satisfying for players, but that doesn’t seem to have ever been a goal of CGs, either GAC or in the old squad arena system.
