Best approach to place high on new account?

How you level to 25 is irrelevant. All accounts start competitive at around 2350 and have exaggerated gains/losses for 18-30 games (including placements). See Initial Competitive Skill Rating, Decrypted for gold placement and Streamer Data - Google Sheets → Rainbow 10 and Dmum 11 for pro-placements.

The better your win/loss performance and statistical performance during your placements, the better.

I’d also suggest doing your placements at the beginning of the season. Late in season you tend to get very random placement games that are out of your control: infrequent players, smurfs, and noobs all mixed together.

I see that your current account is Master. It is practically guaranteed that your new account will place lower (plat or diamond) and you’ll have to climb up. See the pro data above.
