I just got demoted from silver 1 to silver 3 today after losing 3 games. i was at 27lp, one game took me down to 7 lp, another took me to 0, and the 3rd get me demoted.

is this normal? i thought you need to lose several games at 0 lp to be demoted.

Apart from when you're shielded from demotion after freshly being promoted, theres no set number of games required to be demoted, it's just a matter of what your mmr is. If you mmr is somewhat lower than your current division, then losing at 0 LP will result in demotion.
