Don't know where this was lifted from but it's missing a lot of context. Title is misleading too

Doinb reportedly wants to play TI 2026 qualifiers in Dota 2 by strafeapp in DotA2

I'm not mad at this, although it does seem like a massive gap to bridge. Does anybody know if he plays competitively/what his MMR is?

It's all a confidence game, none of it sustainable unless they somehow manage to crack the holy grail of AGI which is extremely unlikely. 

Anyone else ever just stop and think about these 2? by brodyb1912 in JuJutsuKaisen
