Vitaliy “Save-” Melnik, a support player for the Eastern European team BetBoom, has become the fifth professional Dota 2 player to achieve the milestone of 14,000 MMR. Currently, the Moldovan esports player ranks third in the European Dota 2 leaderboard.
It's worth noting that the first player to break the 14,000 MMR barrier was Alimzhan “watson” Islambekov, a carry for the World Entity team from Kazakhstan. This feat was later matched by Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf from Jordan, Danil “gpk” Skutin from Russia, and Egor “Nightfall” Grigorenko, also from Russia.For context, MMR (Matchmaking Rating) in Dota 2 is a numerical score assigned to players based on their performance in ranked matches, reflecting their skill level. A higher MMR indicates a better player, and reaching 14,000 MMR places a player among the elite in the game.
