How does the matchmaking elo system work?

Most streamers who place that high each season are usually GM/T500 players. They have set the SR limit so that GM players can no longer camp their SR.

I.E. you can’t just climb your main account to 4500 and pick up there next season. You have to start from 3900 and grind for T500 from there.
