Top Pinoy DotA 2 Players based on Solo MMR

What a season it has been for DotA 2 and for the Philippines after our country’s representative, TNC Pro team, has won the championship title and took home big winnings of two of the largest electronic sports game competition across the world – The International 2016 (TI6) and World Electronic Sports Game 2016 (WESG).

But in a season filled with trophies, which player emerged as the best across our different teams? Here is a list of Top Dota 2 Pinoy players ranked by their current Solo Matchmaking Rating or MMR in the Southeast Asian region. (Dota 2 World Leaderboards, as of 1/18/2017, 6:00AM).

Fact check: MMR measures the ability of a player to win games on their own skill level, basically. This value is used in matchmaking. Winning increases a player’s MMR while losing decreases it. Is it just a number? Maybe not, at least for these players.

1. TNC.Tims.Predator – 8135
2. Mskiinfnty.Mac – 7733
3. TNC.KUKU^.Predator – 7688
4. GeekFam.Tehee – 7652
5. TNC.Rave.Predator – 7526

13. Mskiinfnty.SipSipTahong – 7046
14. Era.Jacko – 7036

Dreaming to be part of this list? My only tip is that if you want to achieve 7k+ MMR in Dota 2, one of the best things you can do is stay being as calm as possible (don’t be part of the Peenoise bandwagon). Rage is your worst enemy in Dota 2 so stop hitting your keyboard and continue to practice more.
