As all player knows that in promotion game we have to win at least 2 of 3 matches. On the 1st match i lost and suddenly my LP got deducted about 19LP. But I still in the promo game. And for the 2nd match i lost again. And my LP got once again deducted. How could this happen? Pls fix the bug. Thanks

This isn't a bug you're just looking at it wrong. When you go in promos as long as you win 2 games you go to the next division with 0lp. If you lose promos and go 1w-2l you normally have around 80lp (depending on what your lp gains and losses look like) if you lose your promos and go 0w-2l then you normally have around 60lp. You do lose LP for every promo game you lose BUT if you win your promos you get taken to 0lp next division no matter what. If you lose your promos the game still tracks how much LP you would have had if you weren't in promos to begin with. So you would have lost LP for both promo games either way...because you lost 2 games AND didn't get promoted.

You also forgot to mention if you go 2-0 you improve your MMR, and the following games you will most likely get (slightly) more LP.

Actually I didn't because the point was to iterate having less than 100lp after losing a promo game isn't a bug. Winning games always improves MMR and then also LP games just like losing them has the opposite effect. It isn't necessary to explain that to prove it isn't a bug though.
