I don’t know why people try to make up theories about how the system works when it isn’t actually complicated at all. It just throws people of similar MMR together based on who is available in queue. MMR is closely matched to SR which is just a more digestible number. There is a reason why streamers can have 100% win rate going unranked to GM. And it isn’t because the system tries to find other GM smurfs to pit against them to make an even match. It’s because their MMR matches their SR so they are playing with and against people well below their own rank.
