The history repeats itself as the CIS squad lifts the Aegis once more with no audience to applause this time. The International proves to be the most favourable event for the underdogs as we witnessed the Cinderella story once more. The team has shown an incredible performance throughout the event, improving from game to game until they reached the favourites of the tournament PSG.LGD in the grand finals. Russians managed to deal with the opponent on 5 maps and earned the largest prize of $18,208,300 in eSports history. The tides have turned once more, and next year we will see this team as the main favourite of the event.

Jeff Hill, an employee for Valve, shared details about how the Dota 2 matchmaker works:

The Dota matchmaker doesn't know anything about your econ item inventory, your total account value or other financial numbers.

The Dota matchmaker uses your public MMR number as the input for the real estimate of your skill at Dota when playing ranked. There is no "secret skill number" in the matchmaker generally, though we do use a hidden unranked MMR-like number to keep unranked games fair.

The Dota matchmaker does use many other factors when trying to make a match that are more than just player skill to ensure that the teams are compatible. Behavior score is a good example of this.

As the player population thins out at very high MMR levels many of these non-skill factors are tuned to decrease in significance. The matchmaker for a player who's the 100th best player in EU has to behave pretty differently than for someone who's at the 50th percentile because there are so many more players in the queue for that 50th percentile player to potentially match with.
