Secrets to Very High Skill Smufing MMR Dota

Source: Arteezy's DOTABUFF Statistics

There have been many questions by players in the past on how to achieve 4k +, 5k+, 6k + mmr on Dota 2. But there are even more players who are curious and wants to know how to achieve a Very High Skill MMR on Dota below level 13 (TBD). 

The Very High Skill (VHS) on Dotabuff means MMR above 4k. Many people have been struggling to achieve this skill bracket, but this is not that hard to achieve when you have this conditions and follow these steps.

You must be very GOOD

Very GOOD just means you play beyond average. Do you know how to play Shadow Fiend, Meepo, Storm Spirit, Tinker, Invoker well? Can you achieve a more than 500 GPM (Gold per Minute) and XPM (XP per Minute) with carries? Can you play heroes well with a good KDA (Kill Deaths Assist ratio)? If you do then you sure have the power to go to the Very High Skill bracket.

Create a new account

When you play so well but stuck on a 3k MMR because your team is trash, there's a solution BUT there is a downside of it though. Since there is a new account system by Valve that when you create a new account, it can't add any friends unless you buy games from them. But if you are not that friendly then you shouldn't mind. People can still add you though.

Easy Very High Skill bracket with this trick

After creating a new account and logged in to Dota, you will be able to select what experience you have with the game. There is "I am a Beginner", "I've played an RTS game", or "I've played Dota 2". Now, if you want easy matches, go with "I am a Beginner", with this, you will be matched with obviously new players, which means EASY KILLS, EASY GOLD and EASY WIN.

Since MMR is already calculated right after level 1, if you play very good you will be moved to another bracket. But, do not expect to be put in the Very High Skill immediately, since Valve has an algorithm that prevents smurfing, it will be normal that you will be put in the NORMAL SKILL brackets first. After you've shown Valve that you own the game so easily you will be moved to the HIGH SKILL bracket and then the VERY HIGH SKILL bracket.

Once you've proven you can own the game on the VERY HIGH SKILL brackets, you will be permanently ranked in that bracket, but do your best still so that you can go beyond 4k mmr.

To know more on how to get to the VERY HIGH SKILL, there is a very proven article on how to achieve it. This guide is just showing you how to start getting into the VERY HIGH SKILL bracket when you create an account.

Who is Icefrog?

Is this photo the real face of Icefrog?

Many DOTA fans have been asking this for ages, who is Icefrog and what is his real name? Dota has been around for so many years yet the mysterious developer behind the success of Dota (he continued developing Dota after Guinsoo and Euls, one of the creators of Dota) has not been known ever since. Although some may have claimed they have seen him in person, but those are just claims that are circulating around the internet without proof.

Some players may say that we should respect why he wants to remain in secret, but those reasons being speculated doesn't make sense at all.

Is Icefrog afraid of threats because of the game going famous?

Like the creator of the infamous game "Flappy bird", the creator deleted his game because of some threats he received, but still it was another conspiracy theory. But, when Icefrog continued to develop Dota 1 from the Warcraft III engine, it wasn't even famous that time and no one thought that it could become famous like what it is now today. So saying that the reason why Icefrog is hiding his real identity due to threats doesn't make sense at all.

Is Icefrog afraid of the spotlight?

Like the question above, who thought that his game could be famous? Most game developers show their faces, not because they want spotlight but because they want to be known. But Icefrog seems to be one of the mysterious game developers today, some people may say that he is like a "god" doing the works while being invisible.

Is Icefrog a devil/demon?

Some people claimed that Dota is a demonic game and that Icefrog doesn't want to be known because he is the devil.

Is Icefrog an idea?

Some speculated that Icefrog is a group of game developers who made Dota to what it is today. Some say Icefrog is an idea that made the game improve through the ages.

It is a mystery to all of us Dota lovers out there, we may want to know who is behind the making of Dota. But don't you think we all deserved to know the face behind the success? What are the reasons behind this secrecy? Are there conspiracies involved? For now, we don't know, but someday we will. But how Icefrog has hidden himself from the internet is something that makes it creepier and mysterious. But if you have any ideas out there, we are here to listen, just comment on the comment section below.
