Master+ players regularly see decayed “diamond” players in their matches. And when someone like Seagull decays down to diamond on stream, he is still placed in grandmaster / top 500 matches. If SR was either used for matching, or the limits on matching were restricted by SR, this should not happen.

If you check your SR in the rankings, instead of decayed one it shows you the last known one. So in the ranking list it will say 4200 while the profile will say 3000. Game clearly treats decayed SR’s in a special manner.

Where are these rankings that you are referring to?
