Watson Achieves Unprecedented Feat in Dota 2

Alimzhan “Watson” Islambekov has accomplished a remarkable feat during The International 2023, surpassing all expectations of fans. Not only did he secure the number one spot on the European ranked ladder, but he also achieved the same feat with an alternate account in North America, making him the first player to hold the top position in two different regions.

Professional Dota 2 players often maintain multiple accounts for ranked matches, allowing them to practice discreetly. These alternative accounts frequently reach high rankings on leaderboards. While some players have managed to have two accounts in the top 10, Watson has taken this accomplishment to a whole new level.

Despite being the third player to reach 13,000 MMR, Watson has proven to be the most dominant. For the past nine months, his name has consistently appeared at the top of the European leaderboard, showcasing his exceptional skills and unwavering determination.

Repeating this impressive achievement in another region is a testament to Watson’s talent and perseverance. The North American Dota 2 scene is known for its highly competitive and toxic environment, filled with some of the world’s best professional players. Yet, Watson remains unfazed, adapting seamlessly to the new pubbing environment.

Even before joining Entity, Watson was highly respected for his consistent performance in solo queue games. This reputation ultimately earned him a spot on the team. While some players reduce their ranked match exposure after joining a team due to scrim commitments, Watson has not lost his touch.

Entity will rely heavily on Watson’s exceptional skills as they face off against TI11 champions, Tundra Esports, in the first round of the lower bracket on October 22nd. It will be a challenging battle, but Watson’s remarkable achievements and unwavering determination make him a force to be reckoned with.
