Which league are YOU in?

I was 4-1 after the reset as it counted my matches that were already started against master level players and then was placed into gifted. I played some of the top players in this game as well including Cuervo...just baffling.

These kinds of systems are confusing for various reasons. Firstly, this is still pretty early in the game's history, so the system has not yet gathered that much experience and knowledge. Also, your skill rating is not only dependent on how many of your 5 placement matches you win but against who you win/lose.
These systems are dictated by a set of formulas whose details will probably remain a mystery (for a good reason). In the end (a few weeks from now) it'll all work out and make sense.

Back to topic: my placement history so far: Fluffy at release, at some point promoted to Clever - first reset - won my one placement match - got back to Clever - second reset - won 4 out of 5 placement games and am now in the Gifted Leage. I'm slowly creeping upwards, but my goal is clear
