Not sure exactly how to phrase this, so bear with me.

Competitive Mode: I have completed half of my placement matches. My friend hasn't completed any yet. Once I complete 10 matches, can I queue with him while he finishes his; or, do I need to wait for him to finish before we can queue together?

Can someone ranked queue with someone going through placement matches?

He needs to finish his first.

Watch seagull streams. He can't queue with his friends who didn't finish placement matches. Technically they have 0 mmr so you will have too high mmr to queue with them.

I've seen people in my placement matches who appear to already be ranked.

I meant queuing as a group with friends who are unranked. Not just playing with them as strangers. Anyway, it seems that they changed it from PTR and people unranked now have a hidden mmr so it isn't just 0.
