I started about a month ago to play 2v2 random, which is nerv racking game mode.
I am on my 6th match, but since I made the top ranking list today I'll prematurely post my stats so far. Games can be found at osn.

Random
5 placement wins -> masters (directly to 41st at top 155 list)
Teammates: fluffy, clever, gifted, gifted, master
Opponent: fluffy, clever, gifted, new, master
5th opponent was arranged 2v2 174th prior our match and 188th at current ranking list.

That's an even better route than the invite system. It's probably taken me close to 100 games to get to 89th in the top 155 (Why not 200?). Although I think winning all 5 of your placement games, however they're started, would get you in or near Masters - maybe not straight in at #41 though
