I'm curious about this too actually. Is that what you need to be ranked - level 13?
How can someone answer ur questions, there are many variables, like u might get queued with players who also have their 400% BP booster, game length is another one, the number of games u r capable to play in a day, how skilled u r, will u get into LPQ by chance or not.
And u need 150 games to play MMR and get ranked.
ok so lets say i have 400% BP booster active in all my games, game lenght is about average for what used to be vhs (38 min), i play 10 games a day, my skill level i stated already and no, i wont get into lpq.
there are one of two scenarios
1. Valve has the previous system in which before lv 13 team and solo MM is merged together then split once you start doing ranked
2. MM is split from the start
if '2' you will not be able to boost your stats enough
if '1' you can stack alot with higher skilled players and hope valves MM system overvalues your contribution
BUT
the more you play the lower you will drop in solo MM if you are not where you should be
i know that sampson, in fact i used to get to page 1 after 5 solo games, didnt need to stack at all to get there and didnt need to stack at all to stay there (after 50 games i was still getting page 1 games). this was obviously due to the anti smurf detection which is very strong but now u need so many games to start playing ranked that i am not sure whether that anti smurf detection will still be active when u qualify for ranked.
1xp = 1minute in game do the math first 4 lvls take less than 1000xp 4sure its close to
120xp lvl 1
250xp lvl 2
450xp lvl 3 or smth close to that
if you are going to do it play with stacks so u can get even more exp + keep in mind if u go solo games will be pretty retarded because most 'very high' bracket players are playing ranked most of the time
realy question is are there enough high rated players outside of ranked games avi for you to keep improving your hidden mmr
I havnt really seen any smurf accounts get into the 5k range (small sample size so I could be wrong though)
anti smurf was put in to keep players away from the new customers and with ranked valve felt that it was not necessary (this is speculation)

couple of questions;¨
how long will it take to reach lvl 13 if you have the 400% battle point booster in use?
what winrate is required to get about 5.2k mmr once calibration is over?
i used to enjoy smurfing a lot, page 1 in 5 games etc, after 40 games played against 20 verified pros already but as nobody decent plays unranked games anymore this is no longer possible so now u need to play that certain amount of games till u hit level 13 and then hope u are at 5.2k mmr or so (main is at a pathetic 4800 mmr, even though i have 60% winrate, and i have never been on top pages with that account; smurfs used to be the only way i could close the gap and get to the top of matchmaking regularly).
