I think people have gotten a lot higher than 1900 alone, especially the former professional players who played on ENT for some time (I believe there were 2 of them). I would say 2200-2400 top.
But yeah - the current top players don't really count. I've played with them a few times and it's always the 1000 ELO booster accounts on their side who smash the opponents. Several of the top players wouldn't even be above 1500 if they played alone. I think skill-wise, Rained is the best player on the top list right now.
Skill wise... take meepo away and rained is at best a 1500 player. If that
Plus the 2 best players are easily soju and frank
1500 dang was I that noob in heroes other than meepo. Ouch. Yew hurt ma freelings.
Soju and frank are great players, but they never won against me and wrecktify together back in the days.
Soju spent quality time dodging our smurfs in like 3 or 4? of his 2k elo accounts LOL. But we never dodged soju.
