Hi everyone!

I wasn’t sure if I ever wanted to post, but my daughter has been urging me to try connecting and sharing with the older players in Dota2. So now that I’ve hit a milestone that I never ever thought I would. I’m just gonna try this for the fun of it, to see if there are any other older (or younger players) who shares the same love for the game as me!

I’ve been playing Dota 2 for 13 years now, 5 more if I also add in the fun times I had playing Dota 1 back in the days on WC3. Dota 2 had been the only 1 real game that I consistently played in the last 20 years of gaming as an adult, and really only took a 1-2 year break when my precious daughter was born 10 years back (you know, new-parent duties).

After hovering in Ancient to low divine for years on random roles, i made the decision since 2024 to really start grinding the MMR hell, just to see how high I could climb. I don’t think I’m mechanically fantastic at the game but having played the game for soooo long, i think I’m reasonably adept at reading the big picture, and also predicting the moves of my opponents. Naturally I’ve since main-ed on the support roles and focus on perfecting a small pool of heroes.

I don’t know if anyone would ever be interested, but I’m more than happy to share my thoughts on any aspects of the game. And by the way, I made my mark on one of the most “toxic” servers ever, my beloved SEA. Although I’m literally a nobody, but I’m here if you have any questions!
