so i played the 10 games and i got to gold V by going 6/4. after that i played 1 game and i won 25 lp. Then riot said that we have to play 1 more game to determine my actual rank so i played it and won, but i got "demoted" to silver 1.

now, dont get me wrong, im not complaining, but i thought this will be some kind of an upgrade, my friend got placed silver 1 after going 5/5 and won the 11th game and got into gold 3 :(

any thoughts on why this happened ?

From what I've gathered most people were placed higher than they should have. Most placements put you slightly below where you'd normally rank so if you're a season 6 gold you'll most likely be put into silver to prove yourself by climbing.
