This is what I was saying. You don't get demoted when the squish happens, but after the first match, even with a win you could get demoted. That is just not right. A win should not give a demotion

Or, look at it as a free week of K1 rewards.

How so? When you get demoted you get the rewards of the division you dropped down to/the lower reward. They changed that a while ago. Haven't you noticed? You no longer get the rewards of the division you started in for the rest of the week.

But... at the end of a season, if your SR is 3611 (meaning you are in Kyber1) and then the squish pushes your skill rating down to 3555 (meaning you should be in Kyber2), you will still be paid the daily rewards for being in K1 until the end of your first round match in the next GAC. So for those daily rewards you are still given the upper division rewards for a week after the squish.

I don't remember what happens to your round rewards during that first GAC bracket. My guess is you still get the round win/loss rewards as if you were in K1 but I could be wrong. The bracket rewards are exactly the same for K1 and K2, so there is no difference there.

In the normal bracket rounds you get the rewards according to where you are. So if you get demoted after the first fight, your daily reward will be the one from the new lower division you are in. That was also what I was talking about in my previous comment since in the context they were talking about getting demoted after the first fight.

Pretty clear to me they were referencing the week where you still collected higher rewards prior to getting demoted.

Scuba was talking about getting demoted after the first match, which is why to me Screerider's answer was also referencing that... but if they were talking about the week before the first match, fair enough. It's sometimes easy to miss what people are referring. But it also doesn't make sense because the squish happens right before the new GAC season and not a week before so people would still get that previous reward of K1 anyway for a week even if the squish would demote people immediately.
