Can i please ask a question, i just wanted to know, i have done all of the above instead of being level 20. it now states 100 matchmaking games are needed to be played to be able to unlock ranked match making....is this just 100 unranked all pick games? or am i missing out on something?

My account is new too. I wanted to know it too. It's not exactly 100, it could be 105 or 110.

I think it is 100 unranked matches as you can not play ranked, but you also need a certain level like 25 level

AFAIK Turbo and LP games dont count. To be safe just do 100 AP games.

I think the number of matches played only contributes to your xp which adds up to Dota2 exp levels. How you got your level 20 for playing ranked doesn‘t matter. I guess Turbo and bot-coop matches give you less exp per minute played than normal games but they contribute imo. 100 normal matches is only a rough estimate. 100 short normal matches are probably not enough to give you 20 exp levels.
Anyway it is not good to calibrate for ranked as soon as possible. If you are not a smurf try to level out your skill before you do your calibration matches.

I had to play like 130 games to unlocked rank. Yes it is absolutely ridiculous
Dota 2 punishes new players like this because experienced players like to create 2nd accounts and smurf in open play (play against people of much lower skill)

The answer is in the very first post. "Players must be at least level 20" It doesn't matter how many matches you play. You need to be level 20 in-game. Turbo matches give less xp. Co-op Bot matches give less xp. Solo bot matches and custom games give no xp at all. Until you reach level 20, ranked will be locked.

So, what the real terms are:
1. Level 20
2. Have a phone number registered on the account

IF ONLY (just an "IF"), 1 match can give you EXP to 20 instantly + you already have the phone number. Ranked will unlocked?
