19-year-old Dota 2 pro breaches 15k MMR barrier, but fans are divided by his accomplishments

Talon Esports Offlaner Ws became the world’s first-ever Dota 2 player to reach the 15K MMR milestone. What could be a feat of serious awe and appreciation is somewhat tainted though, as fans have started to question its legitimacy in light of recent MMR inflation thanks to Double Down Tokens.

The 19-year-old Malaysian player posted a screenshot of his Dota 2 profile on Facebook earlier today. 15,007 MMR—yes, the Southeast Asian Offlaner has reached a landmark that was unthinkable a while back. However, the Reddit thread announcing the same brought into question Ws’s feat, and more broadly, the game’s current MMR inflation in light of the easy availability of Double Down Tokens and lack of MMR resets.
