With the New Bracket System any Opponent Type can be matched against each other, this way it enables 1v2, 1v4, 1vTeam, ... Matches and Brackets.

For user purposes there exist 7 Types of Opponents:

1. solo (One-Player Opponents, these are the Opponents you want to use for 1v1 Matches.)
2. duo (Standard Two-Player Opponents, these are the Opponents you want to use for 2v2 Matches.)
3. Archon-duo (Archon Opponents, these are the Opponents you want to use for Archon Matches.)
   • Warning: "Archon" is not a supported type in the code, hence we need to use the workaround of defining them as duo Opponents and setting an "isarchon" flag in extradata for these.
4. trio (Three-Player Opponents, these are the Opponents you want to use for 3v3 Matches.)
5. quad (Four-Player Opponents, these are the Opponents you want to use for 4v4 Matches.)
6. team (Team Opponents, these are the Opponents you want to use for Team Matches.)
7. literal (Literal Opponents, these can e.g. be used to indicate how Players drop down to the Lower Bracket.)

For Team Opponents the Player Data is retireved automatically from {{TeamCard}}s. So for those Opponent Types to work the usage of Team Cards is a Requirement! For other Opponent Types the Player Data is specified in the Opponent Template call.
