    I know its hard to become a pro player and that is a stupid question but i still wanted to ask it.I have been playing for 2 years almost and now i am 5.1k mmr.Also i have played lots of lobbies with 6k mmr players from my city and also beaten a lot of them.im 17 y old.Do i have a chance or its impossible ?

      Pro carry/mid plqyers need at least 8k mmr now

      So get 3k more and be picked up by a pro team

        CAN you? yes
        can YOU? nobody else can answer there was another nice guy who was like you exactly in this matter and was 16. you could find his topic in next pages (going pro smth...) ppl answered this question there. it needs a very big level of dedication, hard work, new lifestyle. if you dont change you thinking and lifestyle, you're not gonna have a chance. you gotta learn more about success and how to achieve it by reading books then proceed.

        every dota advice ppl r gonna give below is invalid. it doesnt mater if you wanna be pro player or top scientist or politician or whatever. the important thing is if you could change urself to get to what u desire

                      WagamamaTV just recently answered to this question. He said that he believes that anyone who is from 7k+ COULD consider going Fulltime IF they have a backup plan. For example if you have enough money saved /could start working anytime soon and so on.

                      He also said that 6k's could try hard too and that in GENERAL MMR doesn't say too much about professional players.

                          Im certainly not gonna drop out of school,but i will dedicate all my time now for dota and try to play and learn as much as possible from the 6k and 7ks that i know.

                                having a backup plan is 100% necessary. list out your abilities/talents and choose what u wanna do except dota in future. like when you're 40 you're certainly not gonna be playing on pro scene if u want a life. so what is it gonna be after dota scene/if you dont get where u want in dota?

                                    Stop with this shit garbage threads

                                    Unless ure going to be a top tier 1 player being a pro dota/video game player is like the lowest you can go in life

                                    Get an education and work towards real goals

                                    Dont become a washed up dota pro who has to resort to e-begging on twitch and/or to coach to make a shitty ass living
