If I'm not mistaken, if this prize pool gets any higher it's the highest prize pool ever in the history of eSports.
Yet again, correct me if I'm wrong, I think 6,000,000$ is already the highest prize pool up until now in eSports.
Let's see though. If the community supports it, it might get bigger than the 2nd highest prize pool that has been reached in eSports so far

On a serious note though, I think with this new stretch goal we have the highest prize pool yet

But yes, 6 million is awesome.

Hope they add more stretch goals

do you mean Ranked Match rank?i haven't play many ranked match but my skill depends with my enemy if i find a pro using a shit job like riki , snip , etc and hard early farm and bad teammates (for the hero and maybe gameplay) i can be a real feeder if i use carry / tank / initiator because i often start the war and i'm the first one died but my team win the clash sometimes xD so just party together and if you see i'm a noob you can delete me from your friend list.
I'm not a pro and if anyone says i noob i'll accept that ~

Good point, CM is super squishy and dies a lot. Her skillset and tools are very straight forward though, and you help your team just by skilling up her aura.

Get better. No seriously, you get grouped at your own skill level.

Personally, I'd start off on heroes like crystal maiden or lion, and support the more experienced players until you can get a good feel for the game. You can also queue up with coaches in this game which is extremely helpful, as they are able to draw on your screen, ping your UI and talk directly to you while you play, great learning tool for new players, feel free to add me if you'd like to try that.
As for the community, yeah, it can be volatile. Your best bet is to just ignore the ragers, and take the productive criticism/advice that nicer players give (they do exist!).

but her ulti deals many damages it'll be helpful for clashing and her skill 2 to lock the enemies

Your MMR rating.
Yes, her ulti deals massive damage, but you are slow and have no healthpool so you die without much trouble. And since a new player will be out of position all the time you will probably feed a lot.

Play easy heroes such as Sven, Juggernaut, Dragon Knight, Death Prophet. Once you get the hang of DotA, you can play semi-hard heroes such as Phantom Assasin, Terrorblade, and many others. Just, please, dont play Invoker. Just dont

He meant leavers, not flamers. Those will stop being in your bracket if you get >2000MMR or so.

I'd say Terrorblade is too much micro for a new player.

Pinoy players tend to focus alot on kills, same as Russians. But when it comes to games, Filipino's tend to master proficiency and damage rather than the main objective.
