In other words, how long can you be inactive in ranked before you're kicked out of a promotion series?

Dodging a match, however, will end the series. Just something to keep in mind :) – Michael Capobianco Feb 22 at 19:33

No, the series only ends once you have played those 3 games. They can be be played over any length of time.

What if you stop playing for 28 days and rating decay takes place? Would that kick you out of a promotion series? – Dante Feb 13 at 21:06
This is the best I could find to help, but it doesn't mention any about it affecting your series. Once you qualify for it though, I'm assuming it wouldn't kick you out. – Domenik VanBuskirk Feb 13 at 21:09

@SadlyNot You've got it backwards; in S3, rating decay will apply only to your progression (LP), not to your elo (MMR). – Schism Feb 14 at 2:05
@Yves My bad :) – Sadly Not Feb 19 at 0:09
I'm going to have to say this answer is incorrect from personal experience. I hit my promotion series, won my first game and have not played a ranked game since that time. I am now back at 100 LP with no wins towards a promotion series. I don't know what caused this, and I'm fairly certain it hasn't been over a month since that last ranked match. – Ravekner Apr 9 at 9:17
