That quote is from a GM that posts on the forums, and there have been several conflicting messages from GMs on this issue. It is still unknown.

I'm pretty sure GC said "Titles" not "Gladiator" for 2v2.

As in; 2v2 will no longer get you Titles

After further consideration, and after hearing from many players, we are going to change how we approach the 2 vs. 2 arena bracket in Arena Season 7. We still think the 3 vs. 3 and 5 vs. 5 brackets will ultimately offer the best play experience, especially for very competitive gamers for whom game class balance issues are most noticeable. However, we recognize that many players just prefer to play in the 2 vs. 2 bracket and will miss the chance to earn the current season's gear. Therefore, we are going to still allow the 2 vs. 2 bracket to grant access to the current season of gear with three important exceptions: the current season's weapons will not be available for purchase, the current season’s shoulder armor will not be available for purchase, and players will not qualify for the Gladiator title/rewards unless you earn the appropriate rating in the 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs. 5 bracket. We look forward to the changes in the next major content patch and hope to have a great next Arena Season.

That's the whole thing. They removed gladiator from 2s. The problem is that the post is somewhat vague, so it's hard to know if it means all titles can't be gotten in 2v2, or just gladiator.

There has still only been one official post made by someone who actually knows what's going on in the development department, and that post explicitly stated "Gladiator title". Notice that even if you refer to duelist/challenger/rival as glatiator titles the word "title" is still in singular.

We're pretty much left with

Option 1: the official blue post is correct and it's still possible to get challenger/rival/duelist from 2s.

Option 2: You can't get any titles from 2, which means GC is immensely bad at expressing himself and has the grammatical standards of a 6 year old. I don't point out grammatical errors unless they disrupt the meaning of the sentence, but seriously, learning the difference between plural and singular is probably one of the first things you learn in elementary school.

I'm leaning to the 2nd one myself, but there are so many contradicting messages flying around from more or less official sources that you can't possibly know.
