How does the placement match system work?

anyone have some info?

went from g4 last night to b2 in 1 match. won some matches expecting it to bounce up quicker, but i'm only getting ~45lp per win. bit discouraging. don't want to have to play 80+ matches to start back to where i was last night.

Until you play all 10 games, your rank is VERY provional. You will gain LP for wins at an accelerated rate and will not lose LP for losses. In addition, there are no promotion games.

If you are b2 after one game, that's the absolute worst you can end if you lose all your remaining games.

If it is consistent with the past, most people end up about one division lower than where they ended unless they do really well or really poorly. So you can expect to come out of provionals roughly S4.

Think of the showing rating after game 1 as the Absolute worst case you can get. 0-10. Expect it to take about 50 games to start looking normal again.

if you end G4 you're likely gonna start S3 to S1 at best, always been that way.

usually at the start you get around 1 division lower then you were last year
