Talon Esports Offlaner Ws became the world’s first-ever Dota 2 player to reach the 15K MMR milestone. What could be a feat of serious awe and appreciation is somewhat tainted though, as fans have started to question its legitimacy in light of recent MMR inflation thanks to Double Down Tokens.

However, the Reddit thread announcing the same brought into question Ws’s feat, and more broadly, the game’s current MMR inflation in light of the easy availability of Double Down Tokens and lack of MMR resets.
