User blog:Tainted Brownjuice/Few questions about ranked!

Given LoL login is down i have to ask here... Firstly, i play LoL on the NA servers but i live in the UK. This is so i can actually use team play as playing EU gives me people that speak french and they cannot understand me either. My question is, because only 250 people are in my tier and they will probably play on NA when i am asleep in the UK, will i be able to actually find players for a ranked match? Secondly, if you lose a best of 5 playoff match, how many ranks does it kick you back down or do you get another chance? If you can answer any of these i will be very grateful :)
