you have challenger players and silver players on the same team. So I dont understand. Do I have to do ranked flex? will my rank decay if I dont?

All of what I say below is an educated guess:

There are no ranks in ranked flex yet, even those that are currently posted don't truly reflect anyone which is why there will be a soft reset with patch 6.24. Current placement is only to establish a relatively accurate base MMR for players since dynamic queue screwed up everyones true solo/duo MMR. Flex is dynamic queue but with its own ladder. When Solo/Duo are released they will have their own rank. I also believe you will have to redo placement matches with the release of 6.24 since that patch will be the actual start of the ranked season (which I believe is in 23 days. I'd have to dig to find Riots post on that)
