I kinda agree that high mmr = highly skilled player with good mechanics and good knowledge in dota. However, from my limited understanding, pub games and pro dota are two very different game. They might have high skills in pubs but that does not automatically make them high skill in pro dota. They need a totally different mindset to play pro. We cannot simply deem people fit to go pro when they have xxx amount of mmr. Hence why people disagree with your emphasis on 6k players.

Yes, you might have the skill to be very good and the top pub player in the region, but that does not necessarily or automatically make you a good pro player.
However, it might be easier for you to turn pro compared to a pub player with lower skill/mechanics/knowledge. I guess this is your thinking at the moment, right?

Also, High individually skilled player might be good enough to carry 4 people in a pub game with pub meta against a disorganized 5 player in the enemy team( disorganized compared to pro games ), but that might be only limited to pub game.

There are simply too many aspects for a team to be successful other than strong individual skills. Things that I can list out of my mind: team chemistry, good IGL, good drafter.

Another important thing is the lack of good tournaments for up and coming team to participate in.
Look at team secret, the 5 of them chose not to be sponsored. They think that the organization gets too many benefit from the player compared to the benefits the player get from the organization ( organization provide basic salary but take a cut of the huge tournament prize )

Of course, this is just one example, it does not mean that every team should be or can survive like this. Circumstances are different for every single person. I like to drink apple juice doesn't mean that you have to like it too.

Or maybe it means that your skill is at 4k mmr? which implies that the mmr system is quite accurate. It wont go up until you improve your skill.

According to cyborgmatt, this is probably what caused the server to be potato.

TM is so great, they managed to make the whole dota server to be a potato.

Actually the article mentioned about "significant packet loss and Internet slow down in all parts of the world".

So it is actually not just related to dota, it is internet slow down in ALL parts of the world.

however, some say that the issue is already fixed but I didn't find any article mentioning that it is fixed yet.

One easy way to explain: ( quote from one of the comments on reddit )

Read a few post back, not valve's problem. It's Telekom Malaysia's fault.

https://www.bgpmon.net/massive-route-leak-c...ernet-slowdown/

Cyborgmatt says the issue with the server all around the world is caused by TM. He twitted it the other day.

Saw the thread in r/dota2 few days back.

Also, some say it is better to avoid playing during the time when the people in the US starts waking up as thats when the internet will get busy. Which in this case, it is at night for us. Try playing in the evening or in the morning.

new map is squarish probably due to tile based map tools.

Also, i noticed that there are two path around the radiant shrine which is blocked now. It wasn't blocked before this. :/

Hope valve can clarify this. Is the difference/map change intended or is it because it is still in beta, therefore there is still some kinks waiting to be ironed out?

played 1 game in beta, connection was so unstable that the players keep dc. :/
Mass dc from both sides.

My office blocked twitch but didnt block youtube.
Luckily there's youtube live stream this year.

no xiao8, no ppd,sumail shouldnt win that much money, later become spoil brat like justin bieber.
i kinda like universe, fear, mmy tho.

Still, CDEC all the way! they were abandoned by maybe, so it might be good to see them getting champion.

Actually who's music is this? who's the composer? the skyrim guys or deadmau or someone else?

There's even a map hack script that involves 2 courier. It came up on reddit. Someone found proof of a pinoy admitting to selling the script. but i think he got the script elsewhere.

I agree that most of us blame it on other people for our failures or mistakes.

but there is such thing as techies hacking using script in dota 2. some even will instant auto hex or euls when enemy jumps in, there are videos on it in youtube. They check the players perspective and he wasnt even looking at the bomb but he managed to detonate just enough amount of bombs in the stack required to kill the enemy.

I know about precasting. But how do you explain when his cursor wasn't even near the enemy and the enemy got instant hex? or when the enemy blink in from fog?

You can keep trying to convince yourself but the truth is there. The script is out there some where.

Will show you some videos as proof and if you are still not convinced then so be it.

This is to make us all trim down the bugs as they wanted the defense to be the first tournament to use source 2.

First game today was not bad, only have 1 bug where i click my ally, then click F4( which was my courier ) but it still shows my ally, can't change to courier. Have to select my own hero and move only can select courier.

I played reborn the first time it came out and I notice the difference in the river especially in mid, the radiant top lane shrine got change, hero hit box abit weird. But today its ok. It feels normal and same as source 1 to me.

okay i found another bug. When i play heroes with several units to control, manta illusion etc, I would usually click ctrl+command to control them , but now i can't do that anymore. even when i select all my units, only the main hero move when i click ctrl+command.

anyone have this problem?

ok nvm, the unified control group thingy is unticked in the settings. Fixed it.

Anyone else here uses the quickcast keys by the reddit guy? Where there's 2 bind layer with alt+key and space+key?

Once I use that, I never turn back.

Luckily it worked out of the box for reborn. Just need to transfer my autoexec file.

It does need some getting used to at the beginning, I kept mistakenly used the spell when I didnt want to use it yet. But now everything's fine and it's like second nature to me.

Here it is if anyone is interested. I'm using the earlier v2 version and didn't bother to update it to never versions as I've customized it.

My last game suddenly crashed and I was disconnected. I can't reconnect, so I tried restarting dota, but when I restart, there isn't any option to reconnect anymore.

Does that counts as me abandoning the game?

But till now, I still didn't get the game to show up at my recent games.

I'm on a recent losing spree. It was a stomp in all the games that I lost.
First game they keep 5 manning. Second and third game have a op mid and a huskar.

My hero choices are often quite bad in terms of lineup. Item choice are bad too. Not to mention that I have a few unnecessary death. Guess I belong where I am. 3k scrub. :/
