There is a huge gap everywhere. My 5v5 team played late last night and due to the low number of people queueing Wednesday at 1am we played a wide range of teams. We are 1800 (somewhat undergeared and not very experienced playing together) and we got absolutely stomped by the 1950+ teams we faced. Conversely, we totally crushed all the 1700- teams. The highest number of points that changed hands was 17. So, other than some short term fluctuations, I think the arena system does an amazing job at putting people where they belong. Therefore you can make the cutoff pretty much anywhere percentage wise and get a good representation of that percentile of the player base.
