It's not the RTS background that carried him through the top. It's his positive mindset matched with studying the technical aspect of Dota that gave him this Rank. Heralds in the comment section should stop coping.

This guy is born to gaming

I can say with confidence that thanks to Grubby's endless positivity and genuine eagerness to improve on the game, it has kept me motivated to get better at the game and rise up to the ranks myself and finally hitting Immortal a week ago. I hope Grubby gets there too. It's an achievement I put a lot of pride on but if Grubby pulls it off, it would be a monumental achievement accomplished fully on stream of one Dota player that started from literally knowing nothing to in just more than a year hitting Immortal. I wish him the best of luck that he succeeds 👍

Strictly a solo q player but I do occasional party with strangers I played with the previous game that we did well. Advice to gain rank is play best of 3 or 5 and stop playing for a while if you win or lose 2 or 3 games. Also please mute everyone on the enemy team at the start of the game. You have nothing to gain interacting with them. Focus on your own game. And lastly limit your hero pool to 3-6 per role. This will sharpen your skills with those heroes if you keep playing them.

​@@daimaru03 But being PMA alone isn't going to be enough. It would help you get to Legend or barely Ancient and getting better at last hitting, at the very least 50-55 at starting 10 min, at minimum will get you to Ancient but better farming efficiency(170-200 by 20 minutes)and good lane control is what will help you reach Divine and mastery of your hero on top of all the others I listed is what will help you get to Immortal where everyone tryhards and only picks either meta heroes or heroes we're very comfortable with. That's how pos 1 carries are rated imho but I'm afraid I do not know how exactly do support heavy players get to Immortal or climb in ranks. I'm not bad at it but it's certainly not my best role. I barely play 4 would rather play 5 coz I understand what the carry needs being a pos 1 player myself.

6 years, Archon.

I'm not surprised if Grubby going to be dota pro in the next one or two years, the similiar case happen with TSM.Ari, former #1 rank Heroes of the Storm in Europe, switched to Dota 2 in 2019, took him 2 years to get 9K MMR and 11K in the next year. I agree these former pro player has the advantage to adapt quickly in the game with their previous experience, but I'm 100% sure in dota they still need time to mastering the mechanical and all the details, even for the pro, still took years lol.

It's definitely not a fair comparison tho, Ari is already a top player in HOTS which is a moba game, yes Grubby used to play HOTS too but as far I aware (correct me if I'm wrong) he wasn't a top player there, lot of pros in the old day also a top player in another moba game like HoN before dota 2 out, calling grubby will become a dota 2 pro player like Ari is stretching a bit too much tbh

No my friend, If you are good player, you will win most games i mean more than 50% and therefore you will climb up. As you said, it's not your performance problem, then it is. You are missing self-criticism which holds you back. Some games has griefers, but it is either in enemy team or your. You can't do nothing but if you belong to higher rank, you will be climbing. I was Divine 4 at my peak, after 3 years of break when i could not even click, and i started immediately playing ranked 🤣i callibrated like Crusader 1 or what, but in 1 month i was Ancient 4 then deleted again because i started being addicted 🤣 If your performance is exceptional you will have 60-75% winrate, if you are at 50% it means you are at rank you belong to, if you are below 50% it means your performance is worse than average on this mmr. It is also very important to keep positive mindset in game, if you start blame game with ur team mates, it will affects ur winrate too. However, if you want blame someone, then blame enemy team, tip them and make fun of them, this actually work.

I mean ammar was 3k mmr in ti9, so its possible that Grubby can become pro in 1-2 years

After 10 years of understanding the ideology of the game even eith rusty spellcasting you can average out at archon. Just by being in the right spot at the right time.

You don't suck at the game.

But even if I was being a tryhard, the one thing I never forget is to always have fun and having genuine love for the game. Ultimately your rank doesn't matter, us average joes are never going pro anyway but we all love to play this wonderful game or at least that's what I believe.

Yes playing meta heroes help make climbing easier but a good mix of improving on micro(e.g. last hitting, lane control, farm efficiency, spellcasting)and macro(map movement and proper shotcalling, proper warding, power spikes and timings, objective timers like Rosh and Tormentors)will net you a lot of mmr. Forced 50% only looks like it's real after playing a lot of games but isn't that the point of a competitive game? To force you to adapt, improve and climb if you want to get higher?
