9Class Reaches 10,000 MMR

Published September 25, 2026

PARIVISION support Edgar “9Class” Naltakyan has reached 10,000 MMR in Dota 2 after winning 16 of his latest 18 public matches. He shared the milestone with a screenshot captioned “WINNER.” At the time the reports were published, the run had placed him third on the European leaderboard, behind Arkadiy Khromaev and Nightfall.

The 18-game sample gives the achievement more context than the round number alone. Only two of those matches ended in defeat, producing an 88.9 percent win rate. Five games came on Rubick and all five were victories. The other heroes visible across the reported run included Pudge, Slark, Bounty Hunter, Nyx Assassin and Io, a spread that moves between conventional support duties and more unusual matchmaking ideas.

That variety should not be confused with equal usage. Rubick supplied the clearest repeat sample, while the remaining heroes show how 9Class navigated different roles and match conditions on the way to the threshold. Public games do not reproduce a professional series, but maintaining a 16-2 record at the top of the ladder still requires repeated execution against high-ranked opposition.

The run behind the milestone

Three separate reports agree on the central figures: 10,000 MMR, 16 wins from 18 recent games and third place in Europe when the achievement was recorded. The Rubick detail adds a useful performance marker because it isolates five matches on one of 9Class’s recognised support heroes. A perfect record over that stretch does not prove the hero will remain undefeated, but it shows where part of the climb came from.

The list of Pudge, Rubick, Slark, Bounty Hunter, Nyx Assassin and Io also illustrates the flexibility possible in elite matchmaking. Some can be used in multiple roles, and a public-game draft can create responsibilities that differ from PARIVISION’s official matches. The verified claim is the set of heroes used during the climb, not that every pick served the same position or strategy.

The timing follows Valve’s July 31 recalibration for players at Immortal rank. Reports said the adjustment pulled the leading accounts below the five-figure threshold, making a return to 10,000 a fresh climb rather than an untouched number from before the change. Nightfall had also reached 10,000 following the adjustment.

Leaderboard positions can change quickly as players add matches and rating, so third place should be read as the snapshot recorded with the milestone. The durable parts of the story are the threshold and the documented 18-game sequence. They show both the result and the short-term form that produced it without turning one screenshot into a permanent ranking claim. They also make the comparison with nearby players time-specific: the order can change after the next session even when the milestone itself remains part of the record.

What the ranking does and does not show

MMR measures performance in ranked matchmaking; it is not a substitute for team results. For a professional support, however, a high placement can still demonstrate how consistently the player converts different public-game drafts. The 9Class run combined a very high win rate with several heroes rather than relying on a single one-game spike.

The best way to read the milestone is therefore as current individual form. It says nothing by itself about PARIVISION’s next tournament result, but it does document a strong matchmaking stretch from one of the team’s supports.

• Recent record: 16 wins and two losses across 18 public matches.
• Rubick sample: five games, five wins during the reported climb.

Measure	Reported figure
MMR milestone	10,000
Recent record	16-2, an 88.9 percent win rate
European ladder	Third at the time of publication

9Class reached five figures with clear form behind the screenshot. The rating and ladder position will continue to move, but the 16-2 run and perfect Rubick sample make this more than an isolated numerical update.
