Watson explained what you need to do to get into a tier-1 team

Alimzhan “Watson” Islampbekov, the carry of Team Yandex, explained that for core players who want to get into a team, they need to be in the top-10 of the ladder, and also not argue in pubs, so they can gradually gain connections and reputation.

The esports player shared this in a new video on the club’s YouTube channel.

“So, to get into a team, the first thing you need — is to have a good rank. If you are a core, preferably top-10. Second — have connections, this is very important. Don’t argue in the pub with everyone, so people notice you, befriend someone. I, by the way, never wrote to anyone myself, people always invited me”

Watson emphasized that the most important metric is MMR, and to get into a good team you need to be in the top-10 players. Equally important, the esports player considers knowing how to behave in matchmaking. According to him, it’s important not to fight with teammates or even opponents, but rather try to make friends with players.

According to him, in this case, the player will be noticed, because he will gradually gain connections and reputation, so good behavior is very important. He noted that this is exactly how he found his team, because he himself never messaged anyone first.
