I would like to play dota professionally in small tournaments for start and who knows to begger ones in the future (after a lot of practice ofc)

Hello i am Diamantis and i am 30 years old. I was playing games all my life and i started moba with dota 2 at 2012. Unfortunately my friends told me to play rank games the time that i was learning the basics of moba gaming and that destryed my MMR. I try very hard to go up in rank but very few people understand what TEAM means.
