The way things work in the ladders

I got bumped down to Gifted after the league reset.

Had a friend just finish his placement matches yesterday, and he got placed into Masters. First of all, I thought you weren't supposed to be placed immediately into Masters. Second of all, I regularly roflstomp this particular friend in friendly games (we're talking I get control of all 4 wit spaces on Foundry). Makes me wonder why I'm not at LEAST Masters.

While I'm very happy for him, I feel like this matchmaking system still makes no sense.
