I think it's pretty reasonable to expect that, if you go from facing 4.5m+ opponents to opponents below that threshold...yeah, the pool of competition is going to be easier. So, no, not Fact.
Your very own cut-n-paste clearly states that players will be able to advance between leagues "once or twice," even if the higher leagues probably won't be accessible due to the length of the exhibition.
I think the reverse, it's also reasonable to think due to flock behaviour induced by people thinking it's to their advantage keeping right below the threshold, right above the threshold will be easier. This is how it unfolded in GA at 4M GP passage. I heard numerous experiences as such including mine. 4-4.2M was far easier than 3.9-4.0M, then it slowly flatlined to tough again.
Everything hinges on the new matchmaking. People will start speaking different tunes starting from tomorrow if CG manages to meet their intention in the matchmaking announcement.
