Grand Arena Championships MEGATHREAD

I'm probably stupid, but i don't get it.

Placing my bets now

1. No fleets (I love fleet, many agree, many hate them), but it feels like CG only included them in GA to satisfy people like me, and then gave any GA inc fleet crappy rewards (useless gear and omegas instead of high demand gear and zetas). Not feeling the love for Fleet, so betting GAC is 5v5, squads only.

2. GAC Exhibition will be cancelled. I love the game, but lets face it CG have not had the best 'on day of release' record lately. Betting some bug will be found so heinous the GAC has to be cancelled and everyone gets compensation.

I'd really like to be wrong.

Are championships connected between each other? Or results of first championship won’t affect matchmaking of second one?
Because if it is just 2 separated tournaments, I don’t see the real difference with current system

In order to quench the GP sandbagging for GA it is necessary, that the top rewards of a lower league are less valuable, than the lowest reward in the next higher league. Otherweise many people will not try to get in the higher leagues on purpose.
If I saw the vid correctly, the feasts are connected to other contents ingame? e.g. the two quests about winning squad arena battles and 1 fleet arena battle.
Are the quests of the single feasts are designed in a way to equalize the roster of players? The last visible quest of the feast was "win a GA battle with a full team of seperatists". I assume there are more quests, which need specific teams, are these just new teams or also something like "gear your Jawas to G11 and 7 star them"?

What I dont like about GA is that I always seem to have the 3rd or 4th best roster of the 8 I am matched with and 90% of the time I end up playing the 1st and 2nd best rostered opponents, so I regularly get 1 win and then 2 close losses because I'm outscored by try hards who get 10 points more then me or I get a bad RNG and lose because I dont mirror their 1 battle full clear. Dont get me wrong I'm happy for the try hards to get their rewards (assuming they were not doing illegal mod switching) but I end up in 6 or 7th place when i could easily have beaten the guy who got 4th and probably the guy who got 3rd.

May I suggest, that you try harder next time, then? If your opponent won because he tried harder than you, he deserves the higher rank more than you.

The whole reality is that GA is whale arena. That's it plain and simple.

F2P players win frequently too.

waiting to see rewards....

One championship takes 5 weeks.
All scores go together and you get ranked with your points

Yeah, I get this - it is not season or league system) so every championship you will be matched by gp, as it is right now, not by your previous results - so nothing new here

Can someone address the anti cheating aspects?
1) apk hacks are the battles going to be hosted on EA servers to stop this?
2) Has the ability to change mods been fixed?

Will rosters be locked for the entirety of the championship or will we get to benefit from upgrades made during the weeks it is running?

^^This! If a championship runs for a whole month does that mean a fixed roster for that entire month, or will there be a new "lock-in" at the start of each 1-week section of it? @cg_sbcrumb
