I just realized why they don’t deduct points for playing in a 3v3 anymore—literally nothing depends on you in the pub; the mid laner does 70% of the work, and the supports do the rest.
It’s the most pointless way to play ranked when you’re playing close to perfect on hard mode, but your midlaner is either overplaying or a former 7k player (currently 6,300) is facing off against a former 11k player (currently 7,200), my chances are 0%, and as you can see from the streams, in most games I’m just *** [wiped out] by the enemy mid laner while my AFK is leveling up.
I’m really looking forward to streamer tournaments + I hope they invite me; I have absolutely no desire to grind my ass off on PTS in a role where nothing’s at stake.
Earlier, 1w Team manager Aldar “Jamba” Jambinov spoke about the challenges of finding high-MMR ranked matches at the venue for The International 2026: “We’re in China, which is a separate region, and here it takes a pro player an average of 10 to 30 minutes to find a match, which is generally a major issue.”
