In fact, it’s hard to rise in the rankings, even an excellent player, for example, with 3k MMR, will not rise to 7k because of the toxicity you’re talking about. It is better to calibrate to a very high MMR and, having gained a foothold there, continue to increase it.
Yes, Aster lost. IG has a very good composition, with such a composition they can continue their victories. I won't be surprised by this, but I'll be keeping a close eye on their future games
What region you are playing because is the worst region of all if we are talking toxicity level. I quit playing Dota2 long time ago because of this toxic environment in my region. I’m busy already on my work that time and doesn’t catch on meta of the game that’s I’m just playing casual on a low rank game yet players even noob still talk shit like they are so good when you do some minor mistakes that already come to the point of cursing my family. This is when I started to quit playing this game anymore because we are playing to have fun yet most of the players like their life depends on it even low rank.
I really missed Dota 1 which has a simpler gameplay and less toxicity. Dota2 is too much to handle for user like that is not fully committed on gaming.
I playing in the CIS region, it is probably the most toxic of all. But I repeat that I play without the sound of teammates unfamiliar to me or with friends in discord where no one screams, so I’m happy with Dota 2. I played Dota 1 before, and of course there was practically no toxicity there, but now I wouldn’t go into it because for low graphics and low capabilities of items, skills, heroes. Players even at low rank will scream, this is a common process for gamers, I'm not surprised.
I have everything muted, so I almost never send reports to Volvo, only in very rare cases when teammates are openly feeding and ruining the game. Probably in the last month I sent a report only once.
We've got limited reports and that's why I am also maximizing the use of it. And when definitely a teammate is very annoying and does ruin the entire game, they deserve to get reported and it's just so satisfying when Volvo responds that one action has been taken with my reports.

Dude, you just said it so. It's for real, even if you are the best player, I think you can't survive to a region that has a lot of toxic traits. Dota 2 is one of the most toxic games globally. What we usually see rise in the ranks are those with parties and all of them are good and likely boosting each other.

IG is now waiting for the finals. They're waiting on who's going to win with the match of Team Zero and Team Bright.
I agree, it’s also nice when Volvo lets me know about this when they punished the one who spoiled the game. This shows that we send reports for a reason. I should do this more than once a month.
Boosting still exists, but not as much as before. In fact, I never understood why there was any interest in buying an account with a high mmr, and then spoiling others with my weak game. This is very stupid.
Yep, my bad, I didn't see bracket. IG battle now with Team Zero. I think IG will win. I also keep an eye on other regions. Teams everywhere have 1 slot, while the MENA region has 2 slots.
All the players here literally want to play carry and blame each other all throughout the game in form of typing and mic while still playing. Topson even acknowledged it on his social media that SEA is the worst when change region before.
