So, finished #1, just 4 games away from minimum prize. where do I finish? Not even in top 7 (Ik BL but I don't even deserve top7 in that). Imo, it's fine if you placed people who atleast got above 1500 and did minimum games. Giving 3rd to someone who finished 50 points less than me just seems absurd. Even if I lost 4 games against a 1500 player (starting rating), I dont think I would finish below 3. /rant over.
Explanation for placing rules was posted in announcements thread, it was the same procedure we used last season (1/2015) when only 3 players had 25+ games in CL. You would have received a CL placing, but your BL placing superceded it.
