Russian esports player and streamer Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev expressed his frustration after playing Dota 2 matchmaking. Kushnarev was angered by his recent match results and complained about constantly having to defend himself in ranked games.
During his stream, RAMZES666 showed his recent Dota 2 match history, revealing he had only won 5 out of his last 15 games.
“It`s like I`m permanently marked. How do I remove this stupid curse from my head?! I just don`t understand. Are you guys crazy? They took away 31 MMR for a Sven game?! Do they even deduct less than 30 MMR in Dota?”
[Chat viewer: “Dude, nobody has played Dota for five years.”]
“Yeah, that`s the point. But, damn, I want to go to The International. Or at least play open qualifiers and get through them properly. … I just have to defend against everyone, damn: teammates, enemies, stream snipers. Damn, that`s what Dota is all about. Why do I have to defend against everyone, damn?! Get lost! …”
[Chat viewer: “Try playing without streaming.”]
“[Why] should I play Dota without streaming, damn? What`s the logic in that, I don`t understand. For MMR or what? Who even cares about Dota rating, damn?! It`s 2025, everyone has already bought accounts with millions of MMR.”
Earlier, RAMZES666 spoke about the upcoming The International 2025. “It will be very easy to reach TI14,” the esports player believes. He clarified that a very strong roster could be assembled for the open qualifiers.
