placement. To tell which catagorey you fit in. is all random when you first join unless your playing with friends who are MG1 or GN4

If you beat Novas, you're better than Nova. If you lose to MGs, you're worse than MGs. Narrows from there.

Unranked just means that your rank is hidden, not that it doesn't exist. Everyone has their own ELO rating, which then determines your MM ranking. When you're unranked, your ELO volatility (how much you gain/lose each match) is HUGE. Basically Valve forces you to play a few games and let your ELO stabilize before actually displaying a rank for you because it's kind of a guess until they actually get sufficient data, hence the 10 win point.

Happened to me as well, played with/against Supremes, DMG's, LEM's: https://imgur.com/a/Mua6E

 

When I won my 10th match I got placed at MG1, it's not rare, but I haven't heard of many other people getting placed in matches with these high of ranks.
