If you like Liquid they play in SL America later on. Also I'm not sure who's playing Dreamleague right now but that's always good to watch. | ||

It kind of gave insight into the difference mindset of a true champion and someone like Fear, imo. u better take that back or im coming to canada to get u | ||

I wonder if a 3k support player with good understanding but bad mechanics could stay at 4k if given the chance. These test are always a top rated player smashing some super low scrubs untill he gets reasonable teammates and grinds back up again from there. | ||

Just imagine a support player at 3k mmr, he trys to smoke gank mid, pings mid but his mid just does something stupid and the gank fails he falls behind. If the same game his mid was better and realized that there was a smoke gank incoming they would kill the other mid and get miles ahead.

The experiment is to prove there is no ELO hell. If his teammates don't hold him back, then ELO hell can't be real. That's the experiment. | ||

That's the experiment. it is not the experiment to see if someone that is way better can smash some scrubs with a strong solo mid hero. Everyone knows that already and at some point you get reasonable teammates anyway. Elo hell for a lot of people is that they are 2k players but they think they are maybe 2,5k players but his teammates hold him back. I think that most of them are aware that they are not 5k players and can't smash everyone left and right, they think they are slightly lower rated than they should be and can't progress because of bad teammates. Just to make it clear I think after enough games most people will stop at a rating that is very close to their skill but they could also do just fine 500 mmr higher or lower. I'm really interested how this experiment turns out: http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/20f8af/mmr_experiment_5k_account_giveaway/ btw. Elo is not an abbreviation it is a name. | ||
