    I've seen this question so many times in so many forums so I wanted to know how it really works.

    How exactly can you get to a very high skill bracket match on your very first Dota game?

      be deep in vhs on ur main. the smurf detection system works pretty well.

        if u get vhs on ur first gsme being on ur current skill level, ull get nothing out of it. you are a normall skill player, and ull drop there no matter what. focus on self improvement, and not on making smurfs.

          Yeah. I'm just going up and down between 3.4k to 3k MMR. I was just curious on how people do it. Thanks tho.

            Hey. Since you're 5k player. Can you give any tips on what I need to improve on?

            TripleSteal-

              idk, one can improve n pretty much every pattern, particularly when not being 8-9kk mmr.
              dont focus on stats. yes, boosters get high gpm/xpm in ur mmr range cz they are good, but it doesnt work the other way round. u wont get better if u just achieve higher average gpm or smthng.
              just play, and do it, ehm, conciously. idk how precisely to explain it.
              like, think about what you are doing all the time. dont just relax and mechanically repeat same shit over and over agsin. focus on all the mistakes you do, and keep in mnd that being inefficient or doing nothing when u could farm/push/fight/b8/etc. is a mistake, too.
              dont focus on ur mates' mistakes. yes, they are bad and sometimes fuck you up, but you cant do anything about it. also, if you are good and lets say 1k mmr above ur current rating, ull climb pretty fast regardless of ur team, despite eventually losing some games. if you are at your real mmr level, randomly winnin or losing some games wont affect ur future rating either, cz ull go up/down to where u belong afterwards. the only way is to work on urself, rating comes as a consequence.

              i skipped all the classic bullshit (aka guids, streams, analyzing ur replays, etc.), cz its obvious and u can find this kind of advice everywhere; not cz its bad. it does work.
