Good to hear. The perceived impact of the problem also depends on how close the top of the leaderboard is, and what the situation will be close to the deadline. For example, lately the top spots (except for 1st) have been quite close in rank, and losing a single game to a new low-elo opponent can send you from 2nd to 5th or even lower. Depending on the prize breakdown this could be quite disappointing, but if the ranks settle out with slightly more breathing room (or the elo changes were modified) the perception of this problem could mostly vanish.
Prize structure will be released today, so we can continue discussion related to that there.
