Pretty sure the squish retains your position, unless someone can show an example of someone with higher Skill Rating being squished below someone who had a lower Skill Rating.

Also, Squishing up is apparently a thing as well.

A player's position in regards to other players is in no way relevant. Their position in the division/ League is.

Well, the idea is that if you were at Position XYZ before the Squish, you'd still be at Position XYZ after the Squish. This means whatever Percentile you were at doesn't change. If Leagues and Divisions are based on Percentiles, the Squish isn't going to change that.

From what others have gathered, though, it does seem the percentiles for each Division have been changing over time, which doesn't make a lot of sense. I'd be curious what CG's explanation is.

In any case, the Squish isn't the cause of redrawing the Percentiles.

CG's explanation: We don't have to pay out rewards to as many players if we make Kyber smaller! That's it, nothing more.

Pretty soon K1 will be the top 1000 or even 500 and all of Kyber will be like 3-4000. Just one more event where CG wants to give as many players as possible scraps to work with so we'll spend more money on the game.
