I play Dota 2 to test my guides and to talk with you all.
I complain about teammates on stream so I don't ruin the match in-game.
Open to constructive feedback, if you're just here to tell me I suck, there's nothing I can do with that info.
Use whatever guides help you enjoy Dota 2. I'd rather you do that than be dissatisfied using mine.
What is your rank? I am rank 1 in Dota 2 Guides: 4 Billion Matches, 550 Million Subscriptions
What is your MMR? I only play unranked
What was your highest MMR? 5,000 MMR 10 years ago
Why don't you play ranked? I focus on testing guides. Guides are much more fulfilling than an arbitrary rank. I like to play for fun but I always play to win. That said, I do want the liberty to play and learn new heroes, builds and to not have to play my best heroes all the time.
Are guides your full-time job? No, they're a passion project.
How long does it take to update the guides? For over 11 years, I have spent 3 hours a day, every day, researching and updating guides. When I can, I also test guides 5 hours a day on this channel.
How are the guides updated? Guides are based on data, pro-player feedback, competitive matches and from watching pro-player streams. Guides are not based on my skill level, experience except to test and see if they function for the average player.
