As others have already stated, Series progress isn't limited to Crystalline Conflict. Keep in mind that Series Malmstones lasts until the next major patch, not until the current PvP season ends.

To reach rank 25, you'll need a total of 108,000 Series exp. Frontlines will give you 1000 exp for ending 3rd place. CC will give you 700 on a loss. Knowing this, you could either:
1. Limit yourself to a daily frontline roulette. Even if you were to get 3rd place on every single one, it'd take you 108 days (15.5 weeks, just under 4 months).
-or-
2. Limit yourself to 3 matches of CC every day, which takes roughly the same amount of time as a single frontline roulette. This will give you 2100 exp per day, if you lose every match. This way, it'd take you 52 days (7.5 weeks).

The Series rewards also won't disappear at the end. With the start of the 2nd Series, you'll be able to purchase the 1st Series rewards using Trophy Crystals. This effectively means that you'll have a total of 8 months to obtain these items. They have stated this in the most recent Live Letter.
