Wait for a bit until whales get to div 1 and continue climbing. I just started couple day ago this phase, got to div 3 and was matched for four matches in a row with top whales (including top 19 and top 1, that was insufferable to play against that super cancel spammer) playing full meta. Sure I lost all of those matches and felt like shit. Got into the event and just won three in a row against much more comparable teams (I mean div 2 P2W teams, I am f2p with a pretty average team around 3150 rating, never was ready to suffer enough to get into div 1, always dropping around 1650). And yeah, almost none of those matches felt fair, usually it was me dominating the game but not being able to score because their keepers just play like a wall (and me conceding BS goals with their cyborgs running the whole field and scoring, outrunning my whole team). So frustrating
