Took me a while to figure out that “brackets” didn’t mean (brackets).

That’s also another question, what is that other tiny brackets next to a player’s name that some player has.

The official term is “Team”, but that’s counterintuitive as you fight against one another. Other terms often used in this context are “pod” or “group”.

As for your other question, those brackets indicate the klan the player’s in, if any.
