I have a question, on my smurf I have won 8 games with 0 loses putting my current rating at 1503. Do I have to play all 10 games to qualify for prizes? what happens if I lose the next 2 and drop below 1500? does it still consider 1503 my top rating?

Hello there, once you are ranked your top elo will stay there no matter how low you drop. But the reset will be done from current elo so i suggest you don't play anymore. You also only need 5 wins to be ranked.

alright thank you. I was just wondering because I didnt have the "badge" but my current rating shows on the bottom right.

Honestly I thought placement matches were the first 10. Does it say top rating in the middle and current rating in the corner. I am now curious if its 5 or 10 matches.

its in the corner, if I dont play my 10 placement I dont get the prizes?

well, I played and lost I was 1530 before my last game, I lost 38 elo and now my top rating is showing 1492 so I guess this one is figured out.
