    @PladaussHey there congrats on reaching diamond!

    In a season, rank is split into 2. This split usually happens around the collection event which marks the middle of the season (most of the time).

    You will be demoted by 1 rank and a half after the mid-season split and at the end of the season. So if you're diamond IV, you'll be demoted to Gold II. If you didn't play ranked the whole of split 2, you'll be demoted once again to silver IV.

    As for rewards, you will receive the rewards of the higher rank you reached in either season. You don't have to be diamond twice in order to get the diamond dive trail. If you reached diamond+, you'll receive a dive trail that lasts for only 1 season (ehem), a badge, and a charm. An additional reward will be given if you reached diamond+ in both splits of the season where the diamond/master/pred badge is animated unlike if you only hit diamond once.

    You'll receive your rank rewards at the start of the next season. Season 13 launches on May 10th.

@Cheese9Man 

What a detailed well explained answer. Thanks a lot for that. 

I got one new question, based on your comment.

You said if I don't play again on split 2 I will be demoted to Silver VI.

So, if I understood right, either on split or new season, we will always be demoted 1 rank and a half. Is that right?

    That is correct.  It's one of the reasons that people complain about smurfs in ranked (outside of the number of actual smurfs!), particularly at the beginning of a split.  If someone doesn't play ranked for a couple of seasons, they can easily decay from diamond to silver or even bronze.
