Russians, as well as Ukrainians, Bielarussians and Khasachans are the top dogs of European Dota2.

And over the years Valve only considered matchmaking rating and behavior (a crude mixture of toxicity, bad connection, griefing, bad gaming) as team selection criteria. Besides this there are role preselection and strict solo option in ranked roles mode.

Other selection criteria for your team like experience, language, attitude etc. you have to take in your own hands. But this is easier than before with the actual guild system in place.

Make Dota2 friends, maintain them in a list and wait until they are online for more convenient gaming.
