If it's your first season of ranked, you start with a blank slate and your placement is entirely determined by the games you win in your placement matches. I don't know how high you can get for your first time but the average seems to be around low silver.
Each match you play has a different MMR difficulty, and winning the more difficult ones is worth more to your placement.
