Kyber threshold correct for division 2?

That's good. Kyber is for the best not for everybody... Last gac I got into Kyber with 8-4 record. In the first three I got into Kyber with 10-2.I think 11 wins SHOULD be the minimum no matter how many banners you have.

First GAC in Div 2 I went 11-1 and did almost every feat and still barely made Kyber. So that's one thing, the other thing is that it's way easier to get to Kyber under Div 2 in this setup.

I was in div 2 the first 2 championships and got in with 10-2 on both. Mostly full clears and a lot of feats.

Well this points out the other problem with the leagues. That first GAC I faced max D almost every round so it was very difficult to clear almost every round. With opponents that place less D, it's way easier.

Regardless, under this setup (5v5, no fleets), it's way easier to get to Kyber under Div. 2.

I full clear because I set easier defenses and holding everything I need to full clear my opponent even with heavy defense. Obviously I like playing the efficiency game and I have found that it is the best way to play ga if you know what you are doing.

But yes it is a factor on high divs, what your opponents set..

Serious question, do you think it’s fair that I could get into kyber in div 3 going 8-4 and not even getting close to kyber with that record in div 2?

The disparity in difficulty of kyber between 5v5 (no ship) GAC and ship GAC is huge. In the 3v3 ship GAC, with full clears and some feats, 7-5 could make it. In this GAC you'd need 9-3, and that's borderline.

I made kyber in div 2 in the 1st/2nd seasons (10-2 and 11-1). But those included the undersize 3 stage feat, which awarded more points than typical feats. It is gone, and not replaced by a comparable feat (lots of points, reasonably achievable). This season is going to be the toughest kyber ever.

edit: It looks like the undersize feat was replaced by the no-reinforce ship feat, which progresses and has similar value. Which sucks. It's much harder (unless you run Mal), promotes collusion with shard mates, and has nothing to do with GA skill.

Throw in a first round bracket that includes six other players that have already finished Kyber and, um, yeah - at least there's no stress to be found in this GAC. I honestly think the titles should include the GAC mode. My 3v3 Fleet and 5v5 Fleet Kyber finish are secondary accomplishments compared to making it in this format.
