Yep, that looks normal. After being promoted to masters with Zaepian it took 4 wins and 0 losses to be placed at #184

For example, if you started 7 games "unranked", even when you won the 6th game and got placed to masters, the 7th game is still a "placement" game and greatly effects your hidden ranking if you lose.

Don't know if this is true or not. I recently started a second account to see how 1 win out of 5 placement games would affect your placement. 3 games I started whilst I was unranked timed out and finished at 10 or so games into my career as a fluffy and didnt seem to be different from any other game finished.
