I run a small company in Poland. I hire 30 ppl. I see that gaining mmr became some sort of a goal for me. Now im 3.8 k though i was 3k 3 weeks ago. I have a PhD in Management. Before dota i was going to the gym 3 times a week and running 3 times a week. I was getting a new pus**y every two weeks. Now instead of training and pushing my company to new limits, im focusing on getting my mmr higher. For damn what ? Gosh. I just spend most of my free time now on playin dota. I should spend at least a half of my free time on improving myself towards work, which in a long term can give my a lot of money.
But no, i just want to hit 5 k. F*** me.
But thats just it. Apart from it i have a normal life, gf and friends. So its not that bad, but dota sucks people into a Black Hole.
Gonna start university this year, started playing doto in the beginning of 2015 I believe and been playing ever since with some intervals, have no idea how I'm going balance things out once school starts. Hope it doesn't hinder my life too much, oh well (;_;)
Working out of country for 6weeks at a time on oil rigs. Then go home for 3 weeks and spend time with my fiancé, family and friends. Of course fixing up my house and other grown up responsibility to tend to. 31 years old been playing since war3 days, but skills have fallen completely. 1300 trash trash now and cant climb. No matter how much tryhard. Keeping the higher mmr dream alive to have some kind of goal for this game which i love. But mostly jyst play for fun to relax and unwind.
I'm a Peenoise 19-year old college dropout (take note, there's a very thick wall of concrete between Peenoise and Filipinos, manes). When I was in high school, I used to be a scholar for an academy run by [strike]bitchy[/strike] austere Catholic nuns. My life then rather full of ups-and-downs, I almost got kicked out of high school, family problems and rebellious tendencies were such a bringdown to my studies. I then qualified for a government scholarship, but before I got an associate diploma, I fucked up. Bam, now here I am, underweight and burdened with vertigo/general anxiety disorder/eczema, vainly trying to get to 7K with play time of up to 7 hours per week.
I am 29 years old, from germany and a law clerk and phd student (also law). I have 1 Diplom (German Staatsexamen in Law) and one Master in Law (LL.M. Medical law). Next year I will start working as a judge. I live in a healthy and fullfilling relationship for 9 years now. I work out, party or meet friends in my freetime. Also the other normal stuff: Reading etc.
Dota does not fit in my life currently, cause I have have to learn for the 2. Staatsexamen. For me its like for the most dotoplayers:
Playing habits can become unhealthy and doto sucks up too much time. So I have to leave it at 0 or I tend to play too much.
I replaced Dota with gym this week been slacking too hard in the gym for past year but before this week, typical day would be 0700- 1700 shift , hang out with son until like 2100 out him to bed hang out with wife until 2200 then play Dota until gong to sleep . Not sure how I gonna fit in Dota with gym time now though Cuz it's kinda selfish to expect to get gym time then get game time in same day so we'll see. Edit I guess this week was perfect week for break any ways lost a shit load of mmr / in low priority Cuz attempted to play Dota for a couple days while the wife was pms'ing . I think I'll try to finish my low priority games before patch is out . I guess I didn't mention my job I am a medic in the U.S. military for past 6 years . Burnt out on medical tho looking to finish engineering degree .
Attending school from 8:15 to 15:00 everyday. Most of the time goes to working out at the gym/rowing (used to do that competitively back in the days) and doing homework. In the weekens I usually get drunk/hanging out my with friends. If you can't have dota like a hobby aka it takes almost takes all of your times you probably have to get your shit together.

I completely /quit my social life so I can play games, WoW mostly, but since my account got banned (not my fault! D:) I'm spending much more time playing Dota atm and I'm enjoying that — even though I'm quiiite bad at it! :3
I start to play this game seriously two years ago.After coming back from one year exchange program I had 2 more years in high school.Back than my schedule was go home go out with friends and play Doto.
Sadly last year I didn't have time to play dota due to uni entrance exam studies.My days were like wake up school.go to extra school go home study maybe if you are lucky play dota and repeate
I have entered the uni now with scholarship.So I play 5-7 games a day as it is summer.Uni starts next week and I will be staying in a dormitory.I hope I will time to play dota.I had social life before but this summer i cut al my relationships with my friends and broke up my gf to play more dota :D

- I reached 4.5K MMR 1st time last year when we were still together - I think her being around me when I'm playing forced me to BE CALM and NOT TO FLAME/GET MAD/TRASH TALK anyone coz I'd look like a kiddo if I did :p
- The relationship started became troubling after my business trip in Spain/Paris last January. I think when you see new places and meet new people, your perspective on how your life is going will dramatically change. My Dota MMR hit rock bottom during those struggling months, I went all the way down to 3.2K MMR.
A self taught professional photographer and designer . Discontinued studies after graduating from high school cuz college is not my cup of tea . Happily single as I cannot afford a grlfrnd . All the money I make goes to rent , bills , beers , hoes , weed and other dota players through the blessing of dota2lounge . Dota fits in every nook and corner of whatever is time i can scrap out (generally 5 hours daily) . I always tend to save money for 4-5 months and take trips across the country as I fuckin love travelling and beseeching myself into the nature every once in a while . My dog is my only travel companion as I fuckin hate humans . Thats my life in a nutshell :)
@EZ -25MMR same here WHAHAHA.. expecting to go down maybe on my 40s then its time to find out if religion is true or nah (still think its stupid ) HAHAHAHHA
@Forgos Your life is basically mine man, cut most of my relationships with people after HS finished and broke up with gf cause I apparently didn't make any 'time' for her.

Happy happy times.
21 year old university student from australia. Going to be starting full time work as an actuary next year at a consultancy.
just a casual player who plays with high school and uni friends..been playing for pretty much 5 years on and off now. great game I love it
Full time work won't lend well to gaming (from prior experience) but I'll probably try and fit in a game or two a night just as a means to unwind
