Maybe go back and re-read the announcement again, once the red mist fades? It says "These changes will not affect the opponents that the player is facing in the current event"
How have they got it wrong? They were in K2, got demoted to K3 after 1 game of the Grand Arena. They're now in K3 getting K3 rewards but have 2 more matches vs K2 opponents. Seems to me it's exactly how fluffy stated it is.
Show me where he's getting k3 rewards
The daily crystals will be the k3 amount

Happened to me as well... I hope this is a bug in the game and they cancel this GA to fix the problem.

All 4 players that won in my bracket got demoted from A1 to A2 as did all those that lost.
After the crunch I was 2892 in A1 after a win I am 2934 in A2 (SR Range 2820-2940) so that looks like I'm in the correct place, so I assume that after the crunch i should have been A2 anyway but wasn't for some reason, as i didn't check what the SR range for A1 was before this first round.
Can anyone list the SR rating for each division for the current GAC ? I know there was a post about it but can't track it down and maybe out of date if the crunch changes the values

Yeah pretty sure i got 550 crystals for the win which is the A1 reward, will check after next fight to see if i get 550 or 510

I'm sure everyone that gets promoted mid-event will also come to the forums demanding their rewards be decreased to the division they started the event in. /s
Joking aside, CG made their rewards system this way, and they have put zero effort into messaging since the initial announcement and Q&A. It would be so cool of they hired someone whose job it is to bridge the gap between the devs and the community. A manager of the community, perhaps.

You mean like someone whose job it is to browse through forums every day for multiple hours, not only reading threads but interacting with the people, giving information about current status and things that don't work as expected plus what has been or will be done about it and even more? Sadly i've never seen a Community Manager working this way in any game but hey, maybe somewhere in the Outer Rim some day..

They get the exact same match-ups as they would under the old system (apart from the aspect of randomness that always was there)
But they're not in the same division and getting the same daily reward. As well as the skill rating not being within the divisional bracket.
I don't see any positive reason for this change.

I would just wanna point out that they are altering the MM system after 4 months - which was barely enough to iterate that uncivilised, 10th century caveman idea of the very first, GP based ranking.
At some point you need to ask the question: do those guys over there believe for a second that what they create is actually good in any sense?
They have made zero changes to MM.
Oh i see you dont think the opponent selection and the promotion/demotion are integrated. Cool stuff, move on.
Well, they aren't integrated. You are promoted/demoted up to 3x during a week, but the MM was already done before any of that happened.
Like, okay, you dont think changing the frequency of promotion/demotion is actually a parameter of the system. I get it, you made it clear in the first comment now please do move on.
I don't understand why you think the frequency of promotion/demotion would matter? MM is done at the start of the week, and afawk the only thing it looks at is Skill Rating. Once the group of 8 is set, it doesn't change. Where in that process does the fact that you were promoted and demoted last week matter?
