Yes, I realize matches are based on record, which is 0-0 for both. But getting “randomly” slotted against someone with over twice my GP on the first round, out of all the players globally for this game?
Something smells rotten here...
Edit: Thanks to the others here for giving direction on truly viewing your opponent through the rewards screen. My matchup is pretty even. Had no idea “Ceth Senpai” was one of the default game names. Have seen countless Mol’s and Brill’s, but never a Ceth until now.
Just checked my opponent roster and... I'm pretty much a bye for him. Almost a million GP difference, not even worth trying. Hope it will not be always so.
My opponent is 400k gp better than me. Didn’t the devs say something along the lines of they’ll match us with someone close in gp?
There's always more that goes into these formulas than just GP. GP is not an accurate measure by itself to compare the strength of 2 rosters....particularly the top 1/3 to 1/2 of the roster.
They said something like that, and the fact that we believed them says something about us... I feel for you, I have an opponent that has more than twice the number of characters I have at g12+ and zeta'd, there's not even a snow balls chance in hell that it'll be a fair fight.
The only successful thing it's done, make me not even want to play the mode. I'm sure i'll get something for last place
I have the very same GP as my opponent, and you could say fine, good matchmaking!
I will play the game, to test, but I got no hope to win, I have 8 G9, my opponent has 32.
I am a collector, he is a PvPer... (his stats and arena/fleet ranks are looking that way)
My only hope is not Obi-Wan Kenobi, it is that the guy can't connect to the game for 2 days....
Nope, matching system doesn't work in the least it seems. While I have similar GP's to my opponent, my opponent is more focused and geared towards arena play. In terms of geared characters has nearly triple the gear 12 characters and finely tuned teams that I have. So my fun collection of characters won't account for anything other than making our GP seem similar..
So will this be fun, not even a tiny bit. At this point, I'm resigned to just sit this mode out and hope they remove it for an original idea rather than simply repackaging a guild event to be individual to save on the cost of design.
My opponent is over 700k GP higher than me, one of my guild mates has been given a "match" that is 900k higher than him!!
Pretty sure that if they thought they'd fixed the matchmaking they, umm, haven't!
Oh well, hopefully just a 1st time issue of some sort.
Two ways. Go in game, look at the rewards for grand arena. On the right there should be you and the other player. Click on the other player and their profile comes up.

Great matchmaking again CG

The other way is google their .gg.
I like the second way better.
In game, tap ‘event rewards’ and then tap your opponent’s name. Their profile and roster will show up.
