I will be 19 in september,high school ended and need to decide should i follow my passion and dream or use my money for college.Any advices ty ! Im sure i can reach 7k+ easily this summer !
I would suggest trying to stream and/or make entertainment/educational videos if you wanna go the safe way, if that's not what you want to do going pro is possible for you but you have to find a team that is compatible with you and you HAVE to win a major tournament in order to make your name heard.
edit: some spelling errors.
If you're good enough to cruise to 7k mmr while getting your degree, you can chase your dream for sure. Otherwise just forget it because you're not good or smart enough to take the risk
just study while playing and if u get on a good team and start making $$$ u can just put ur studies on hold
EE started at like 21-22, so its never too late. though its not an easy thing to go pro, competititon is insane.
go pro! 18 is nothing, and you can always switch -dont listen to those who say otherwise, they just never had a rampage in divine bracket
If i was you I will bury the dream about being pro since education far more important. But related to the question the answer is not too late, Le Bron reaches his peak of being pro with Navi and he was 28 that time
playing computer games should never be a PASSION. Go study and contribute to society in a better way. any games should only be your entertainment instead of a "passion". We human doesnt need more people to work as entertainer at this moment because there are already too many entertainer ( most of them failed and VERY FEW of those managed to climb to the top just for a few moment before their popularity gone) while poverty and resources are our main concern. I'm sure you know what I meant
~sorry for bad english
no-one should ever go all-in on becoming a pro player. stream/coach/make videos etc. and the opportunities will come if you are good enough and if they don't you will at least be getting an income from all the hours you've put in.
being a professional sportsman is as much about your brand and sponsorship as being a great player. look at people like waga and purge - never made it as a professional but they play dota for a living (and i'm guessing a fairly comfortable living!)
theres so many players that sat in top 50 leaderboards for more than 3 years like mage that never landed a relevant t1 team. they have way more experience than you, and are better players as well
chances are ure never gonna be a pro player and ure never gonna be a popular twitch streamer either, so go to school
Dont listen to all those forum people, they just want to go pro themselves and are afraid that you will join the competition! The are scared because you can actually succeed! Look at you smurf in 10 months you will be +3000 mmr! Go for it, dont let the retards ruin your life
Go to school and play casually. If you can't break top 100 doing this you will never be able to go pro.
well well - these ppl don't know anything. U know like its really hard to jump in both ok, unless whatever u want to study is easy i will suggest u ask with smone who knows these kind of thing try Gamer sensei once, u might get the real and true answer and also have clear thinking

shut the fuck up
You have to give it a go for sure if you think you got what it takes - but as many people said earlier you should not put all your eggs in the same basket. being a pro at Dota requires insane skills and also a knack for being "noticed" - skill only will not get you in an established team and i guess competition at this level is just off the charts. Keep investing in Dota but Focus primarily in studying something you like - if its meant to be, it will happen.
Don't bet on it, but if u get 7k-8k, it is definitely possible
Doesn't mean u have to commit while ur 6k, it won't work out then
dont go pro, you will regret it, like really in financially. just study and play like me, im 6.6 currently and have been playing the game for 5 years or more
sneyking balanced college and playing dota and is now on a good team. envy balanced school and dota as well. if you cant be top 50 on the leaderboards while going to college you have no shot at being a pro
Getting involved in the global dota circus right now would be an amazing couple of years for a young person. Cool way to travel the world, meet people, play dotes and earn a bit of cash.
How many players/casters etc. travel between each major/minor? More or less than 100?
Please, ignore those pro doters wanna be. I have several 7K+ MMR friends and all of them are playing casually. Cause even if you're in top 100 player pool, you still need to practice a ton just to be noticed.
A friend of mine is one of the best pro players in Doom 3 in its history. Dude wasted 20 years of his life and made around $200K on it. Now he's a casual player making nearly no money. Not traveling. Not doing anything for society.
I dropped my CS.Go career and making around $170K annually doing work I don't really enjoy, but it allows me to do what ever I want with my life outside of a video game. I travel when I want (going to Europe in a week), have an actual pension savings, savings on a house. Gaming career is a stupid decision. 0.00001% of people are making money on it, and the rest are just wasting their energy. Yes, I can get fired, etc., but so can pro players. I know ~10 amazing players who dropped out of their schools just for a dream and NONE of them became pro with a pretty decent talent. Only that dude did, and he is now still ilving with his mother earning nothing and have no savings cause he never took any finance classes or got any decent degree (ie have no idea how to save). Please be careful with your choices. It will impact you, your future wife, kids, and their kids. I don't think those 25+ pro players actually enjoy 10 hours of dota every day just for a chance to get to those tourneys.
envy balanced school and dota as well
what the fuck are u talking about envy dropped out lmao
Think of it this way - you can pick an early game hero but will be walking with 2 items till the end of the game, or will you pick a hard carry late game hero - jungle for 30 minutes and come out with 6 items? Picking a pro-gamer career is picking an early game hero. Out of top 300 earning pro gamers, maybe 100 are related to dota. Out of them, maybe 30 actually made more than an AVERAGE doctor. They are TOP highest ranked players making a bit more than an average doctor. You'll never be one of them. Lets face it. Even if you get to Divine (and I have several friends there) and play vs pro players at some point, they won't notice you. Do you think Miracle writes down names of people who are good in his pubs? Even if you win 10 times with a good score in a pub, you still need a decent team with connections with a sponsor. It has nothing to do with a dota talent. On the top of it, you need a lot of luck to win in tournaments. Even with a perfect team and the best talent, you might lose cause of 1-2 silly errors of another player. Pick a late game hero. Go and do something that isn't fun. Your late game will be much better.
the answer to anyone who's asking normal people if he can be successful is if you're asking poor how to get rich, you clearly have no idea how it works, so with your current knowledge it's NOPE.
go learn how success works first then try again
@mynhauzen taking a couple of gap years trying to break into a scene will do nothing to harm your 'late-game' opportunities and will teach you many life lessons in the process. I'd be much more interested in hiring someone who had had the balls and individualism to try and make it as a pro-gamer than some sheep who meekly stayed in college and just studied.
Never do a job/career that you don't enjoy if you can avoid it. Just be aware that choices have consequences and do your best to keep your options open.
Good luck with that... Remember, in the last months before the ranked update, picking up 8K pubstars was considered a risk. For some like Miracle, it worked out, for many others it didn't. Also, it'll be very difficult to convince even a tier 3 team to take a chance on a 6K. Maybe you could try to get into a low tier 3, or tier 4 squad? But at that point, many of those players are friends and are in it as friends, so it'd be hard to break into a team in that tier as well. Long story short, you're gonna need a group of friends who you could team up with, as your starting point.
Don't put all your eggs into one basket. I suggest you still go to school, and get whatever games you can in between studying. If you're still able to steadily climb the leaderboards, then maybe you could consider it. For now, ill-advised.
Don't listen to these noobs you can be a pro player if you want to, just believe in Jesus my brother
The problem about being a pubstar and then invited to be a pro is the whole pro scene thing are totally different with pub matches. Maybe you are godlike in solo mmr but pro scene needs much harder and a lot of team work, a guy who not used to play as a team will having really hard time to do that. Well in there are some exceptions like Miracle and Iceberg, but we also have Badman or InYourDream who still struggling to make impacts in the pro scene. You will adjusting hard once you enter it.
U dont need to go the normal route to become a pro. It's the route every high mmr player is taking; Raising mmr hoping someone notices u.
Instead u need to learn how to create influence and personal brand, and make connections ALL WHILE becoming better and better at skills
it all only matters if you get a team. Pro or not depends on it. Never go full out until a team accepts you, and it’s a good enough one that you can see yourself progress from there.
Right now i would say you are just looking for the path into the pro zone. Don’t close other paths like school first, you’re NOT in the pro-zone yet.
An old saying goes “never put all your eggs in one basket.” As many people have put, if you’re good enough to go pro... join a tier 3-4 team. If you’re pro level then you’ll be like the LeBron James of Amateur tournaments right? And then better teams will begin to notice you. If you get crapped on every other game you should be self aware enough to realize there is no long term success to be had.
If you need others to determine if you if you can or can't go pro; then you will never achieve it. If you truly thought and wanted to go pro then you will do it, regardless of what anyone says or thinks.
i wanted to go from 5k to 6k, it took me only 10 days, how many other people do you know that can go trough with something like that?
i analysed replays till my eyes bleeded.
If i personally wanted to go pro, i'd literally burn every brain cell i have in my head until i am pro. I'd practice until my fingers break.
You have internal conflicts which need to be resolved from the inside, nothing anyone here comments can change what you internally think of yourself, we can only put our thoughts and experiences into words, but what you ultimately think you can or want to do is up to you.
Also, can i note that you're asking a bunch of unsuccessful/non-pro people on how to go pro, players who have never even came close to being pro.
if i wanted to solve a maths problem, i wouldn't ask a 10 year old, i'd ask my college professor.
did i mention that i analyzed replays and got to 6ooo in 10 days? VERY cool :D
