How do provisionals work again?

This is just a question about why I was knocked down nearly an entire league.

In the previous season I spiked at my highest to silver 1 to gold 5 promos. Lost them, didnt get gold, ended up falling back to silver III. Was ok with it.

Did my pros, went 5/5. Was ok with it. Dropped down to bronze 1. Was really, really not OK with that. That makes no sense to me. Can someone explain?

well pretty much since you were silver last season its giving you bronze this season so you have to climb

The promos work in the way that the early matches have a bit more of an effect on you then the later. So if you win the early matches you have a better chance of being placed higher, and if you lose them then well you know.

You play as hard as you can :)

Then, you end up in bronze or silver.

(According to some qq threads)
