well, it's not ranked, it's premier.

If you want to win premier, you'll eventually need to beat those teams with higher levels.

no you just gotta win in your division so that team shouldn't even be in a silver division

"your team will be seeded along with others into divisions based on your average MMR (matchmaking rating) of your top five players."

yeah you're right, probably a bug or smth -- you should report to Rito, since the purpose of the beta is to sort these sort of things out

It’s entirely based on hidden mmr instead of rank. For example my full dia team is in division 17 and faces full ascendant teams with a few immortals here and there.

It is because Premier is based on MMR, not Rank. This means that although the game shows your team's average as Silver 3 and theirs as Plat 2, it considers your skill levels to be similar. If you would like me to explain MMR further I can so you get a better understanding of why it is like this.

i understand mmr but the gap is way too big to be mmr

Not necessarily. The plat players could be "boosted" rank-wise compared to their MMR, or some players on your team may not play a lot of ranked which would make your MMR not very close to your rank
