If I have taken 2nd place in 2 grand arenas (2 wins and 1 loss in those particular GA's), and won every other one (3 wins and 0 losses), does anybody know what my overall record would be? Also, feel free to list your record in grand arena as well! I'm curious to know how everybody is doing with it and if you're enjoying it as much as I do? It's my favorite part of the game!

Can get enough gold mod salvage (36) for almost 2 full 6e slices...
Gearing GK at the same time as the initial GAs ran was awesome and likely saved a few weeks.
Really helped me optimize mods for the new meta.
This current GA I had 2 of my 3 opponents not even bother to attack. One had his defense auto-filled. I lost my first match in a tie because his GP was higher (which is dumb. If I'm the underdog and tie, it should be a win for me.)
Seems there are quite a few players who just dump defense in, let it autofill, or don't spend much time on it. So, at the least you get something for participating and those that want to spend the time winning can do so.
Kind funny that this thread has casually derailed from "records" to rewards.
how long it takes is probably mostly a personal choice.
Solid!
that's the same at every GP level, the higher ones just have to clear more teams.
That's not quite true, I was around 1.9mil GP when grand arena started and it was rare for an opponent to even bother attacking. I'm at 2.4mil now and only once has an opponent even cleared a zone of mine, the lower GP ranges are full of filthy casuals.
I don't have to prioritise efficiency, I just have to get it done. It's kind of worrying - as my GP rises I assume soon I'll have to start actually strategising and I'm not practiced in it.

I don't know whether people chosing to spend less time on GA proves my point or disproves my point because due to others not spending alot of time on GA some don't need to spend alot of time on GA. haha
in the 3.9m - 4.2m region there are casuals aswell, 8 times my opponent didn't even bother attacking and my board has only been cleared 5 times total out of the 28 GA rounds.
I'm in the 3.4 mil GP range and this last time around only 1 of my opponents even tried to attack and he couldn't even beat my KRU First Order team.
Just won overall 1st in GA for first time. Normally win one, one a points win or lose and get flattened in one.
This time, all 3 posted defence, but only 1 offense. I took points win in that as we both took one front territory and one back one before burning out on the top squad on the other side.
Was awaiting defeat in the following 2 rounds as only took a few teams and not many territories...but the attack never came
