How does the ranking system in Grand arena work?

The tie breaker is gp. So initially, all 8 are ranked by gp. After the first round, the four people with 1-0 records are ranked by gp, followed by the four people with 0-1 records by gp. So you have the 3rd highest gp of the four people who won round one. After this round, the two 2-0 records will be ranked 1-2 by gp. The four 1-1 teams will be ranked 3-6 by gp, and the two 0-2 players will be ranked 7-8 by gp. The winner of the 2-0 match will end in first place. 2-4 will be the 2-1 players by gp, etc...

So if there could be a 8 way tie in this round then four 2-1 at the end of the third so then the top four would rank by their GP for 1st-4th place

That can't happen because you always play somebody with the same record as you. So there will always be one person who finishes 3-0.

So you could be 2 and 0 going into the last round and finish 3rd if the winner of the 1 and 1 match has a higher GP ? If you lose the first place match ?

Yes but it doesn't matter because 2-4 all get the same rewards.

3-0 - 1st place prizes
2-1 (3 players) - 2nd place prizes
1-2 (3 players) - 3rd place prizes
0-3 - 4th place prizes

you can see the breakdown in the event.

Exactly - the guy who didn’t even put up a defence in round 2 was awarded equally with the guy in the “finale”.

They should go with traditional bracket tournament where each position is awarded accordingly:
*Initially by GP.
* 1 against 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5.
* Winners meets in top half, loosers in bottom half etc. (see chart)

So if the 2 best players meet in round 1 the loser can only get 5th place at best? That style only works if the players earn those seeds. That wouldn’t be the case here.

Oh ok I see thank you man lol

What is the max banners you can earn

So if there could be a 8 way tie in this round then four 2-1 at the end of the third so then the top four would rank by their GP for 1st-4th place

GP seems unfair, it's predetermined when you're matched. Should be total banners
