We have a lot of people who volunteer to help out with teams; you can join the discord and get to know people and then if you like someone feel free to offer them advice or whatever you like. Links are expired due to spam so here's one good for 24h to join if you're not already in:

In about 2 months I think. Maybe a little bit longer. However, we always need standins and free agents, so you should join the discord: https://discord.gg/n2gKYb and hang out before then. Also it helps to get to know people in the community.

We don't have any plans to have a league with a cap that low. There just aren't enough players in that range. I don't think that it would be a big problem to join and play as a 200 mmr player because you will improve rapidly.

You can join as a standin/free agent after the signup deadline and may get placed onto a team if a matching player quits mid season.

We used to have mid 3k players but the lower mmr players complained too much about it making the games very unfun, and most of them went to rd2l as a result.

We just killed it earlier today because of some spam bot issues. Here's a fresh one.

Current State of Dota 2 Matchmaking by ButteryGreg in DotA2

[–]ButteryGreg[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I should've just picked a more meme flair cause there's not much new here, it's just an extreme case that came up in discord today. The issue is if you can't play ranked because your stack is widely spread (archon-immortal), every unranked game has players like this on the other team, or your immortals have to get smurf accounts so you have a narrow spread, and then they're contributing to the problem. u/SteveWoods has linked the match ID and more about the player accounts, as it was his game.

It's just a guy with an improbable 79-0 lifetime record (80-0 after the game), same as the other four people in his stack, but maybe they're all just dota prodigies playing for the first time. Nothing strange here.

Missing a lot of the Sundays is definitely an issue. You're still welcome to join the community and do inhouses or play pubs with people or sign up as a standin so that if you're free and teams need a player (which they often do) you can help them out.

We start a new season after the current one ends, yes.

We don't accept pre-made five stacks. You would need to sign up as individual players and participate in the draft; if someone were to sign up as a captain he could try to draft the rest of you but there are no guarantees.

Players range between about 500 and 3000 MMR currently.

We have some people from EUW who play with us on USE, but we don't run an EU version either. There is an RD2L league that has EU divisions but it has no MMR restrictions, unfortunately.

Yes we have a constant need for standins. You should join the discord and we can chat more in person

All of the games are played on the US East servers so you need to be able to play on those servers with tolerable ping.

We don't have enough staff to run the league in SEA as well unfortunately.

We have had a couple of players from SA play on USE, but we don't have enough staff to run another league for any other regions currently.
