So, short story. I made GC in 3s normal like 2 weeks back. only got 1 win towards my GC rewards and lost it. Now the paylist is at C3 Div 4. After that i starting messing around in Rumble and managed to get my GC Season rewards there.

So now, do i also get the normal GC title or do i have to hit GC again on a normal playlist? It has been GC this season but not at the moment i got the GC rewards.... can't seem to find an answer and don't wanne bother Psyonixx for such a question

I got a response from Psyonix, they say you first need to hit GC rewards, only then will other GC hits count. So if you hit GC, drop down without getting the rewards and then complete them in a different playlist, you do need to hit GC again in order to get another title. This is way they say.

Would you be able to share that response? I want to make sure we aren't messaging anything that's incorrect.

As u/ytzi13 said, you should receive the GC season rewards and title if you reached GC in 3s and unlocked the GC Season Reward Level. Where you end up in 3s doesn't matter, nor where you gained the Season Reward Level.

Hey dirk, he linked the response here.

And, to clarify, the question is specifically this:

If I were to hit GC in hoops before unlocking the GC reward level and then lose GC, never to get it back that season, and then I were to unlock the GC SRL later on in the season in Standard 3s. Would I still get the hoops title for hitting GC earlier in the season? I was under the impression this was the case (and am pretty sure that both myself and my friend obtained our titles that way a couple seasons back), but the response OP received from support seems to indicate that you need to hit GC at some point after you obtain the SRL in order to obtain the title.

Thanks, I'm sending this to our Customer Care team so we can make sure that messaging is corrected.

You will still receive the Hoops title no matter when you complete the GC Season Reward Level.

I did link it up here. Copy paste. So what ur saying is if i get GC in normal 3s. Drop down, get the rewards of GC in rumble i also get the normal gc title without hitting it again? Cuz thats not what support said haha so this is getting more and more confusing

Correct, and in fact, you don't need to reach GC in 3s to receive the normal GC title. So long as you unlock the GC Season Reward Level, you will unlock all of the general GC rewards. Only the extra mode titles need to be unlocked by reaching GC in their respective playlists.

Players who only reach Grand Champion in an Extra Mode will unlock that Extra Mode's Grand Champion title plus all other rewards excluding the normal Grand Champion title. In order to unlock the normal "Season X Grand Champion" title, you need to reach Grand Champion in a non-Extra Mode competitive playlist.

See our Season 10 Rewards blog for an example.

Are you sure about that? In season 11 I only reached GC in Rumble and got my GC reward level there and I only received the Rumble GC title.

Yes, you're right. That was my fault.

A bit ironic in this context, but yeah you still need to reach Grand Champion in a non-Extra Mode playlist to receive the normal GC title. However, you will receive all other rewards besides the normal GC title.
