GAC had a major change a few months ago. Now, it's a continuous thing. Before it used to reset each season (season is 12 matches). Also, it was based off of GP, but the better you did the harder opponents of your GP you'd get in the next bracket (bracket being 3 matches like now).
So in the old system everybody started Carbonite at the start of the season and worked they're way up when they won or completed feats (see below).
If you went 12/12 or 11/12 maybe even 10/12 and do a lot of the feats (yes there were feats in old GAC) you'd make Kyber and get the tag.
