Watson is rapidly losing MMR and has dropped out of the top three best Dota 2 players

Alimzhan "Watson" Islambekov, Entity carry, due to frequent losses in matchmaking, has lost a significant amount of MMR and dropped from the top position to fifth place in the European Dota 2 leaderboard.

These changes are reflected on the official Dota 2 website.

The situation is indeed unusual, as for almost two years, the esports player consistently held the first position in the rankings and even became the first to surpass the 14,000 MMR mark. However, the situation has now changed dramatically, with Ammar "ATF" Al-Asaf first surpassing him, followed by three more players breaking the 14,000 MMR mark.

It is also worth noting that Watson has been losing more frequently in Dota 2 matchmaking. His win rate has dropped to 41.67%. Moreover, the pro player experienced an unexpected losing streak, losing 7 matches in a row in the past day.

It is also worth noting that it's unlikely the esports player will be able to reclaim his position now, as his team is participating in the qualifiers for The International 2024. Therefore, he doesn't have much time to play matchmaking due to official matches and practice sessions.

Recall that earlier Watson named the strongest Dota 2 hero capable of winning matches single-handedly.
