There were 2 games of the Beast fight up for like 12 hours after the beast went away filled with same names ending in numbers 101-105 and 106-110 and since there's no time limit to engage the beast, they were just afk at spawn.

That's what they used before but I don't think they use that on the new matchmaking, or at least not the same scale of numbers. Plenty of people over 5k for example and as far as I know it goes up to 6k+. In team matchmaking I saw a post recently that I think it was Sneyking's stack that's over 7k. So I wouldn't rely on these too much. Based on a fairly old report I've found using the magical power of google, pros seem to be between 5k and 6k solo.

Dendi stands in for NEXT.KZ. starts at 3:30 in above link.
Apparently he has a rampage 3 games in a row, haven't watched the whole way through yet. First game he plays meepo.
Edit: There were rampages every game, dendi only got one with meepo in game two

I was just idly watching EternalEnvy stream and saw some random pub player was telling him he sucked and should never play carry again. Glad to see these morons exist at all rankings, really the worst part of DotA2 are the players - I don't think I've ever played another online game (in 20-years) filled with more morons.

If your rating is around low mid 4k rating places you in the top 34 pages of live games (204 games) - 4900-5k puts you around top 10-15 pages. Even though there are people with 5/6/7k rating - they are very much outliers and players who are winning >60/70% of matches. There are 6 games a page, - which is 60 players - which is around 2000 players in live games. I know that just looking into what the percentage breakdown myself was. 2000 players is almost nothing. I think that above 4k is a lot closer if not 1% than you think based upon my testing at any given time. Maybe during euro primetime for example the low 4k's get bummed off the top 34, but not by much, my guess is page 34 will contain someone rated between 4k-4.5k. With 4600 team rating, in a duo queue - my team has been filled out by 6k rated players - which means the seek time for them must be very long to get games with only 6k rated people. You also see extreme diminishing returns (like single digit mmr increases for wins in players approaching the mid 5k's) Which means to keep climbing you have to be winning a great deal of games.
From personal testing if I group queue with 3k rated players or 4k rated players - the system gives me +/- 25 points give or take a couple regardless of the mmr spread. I believe that breaks down at higher rating. As far as my fuzzy math - maybe its changed in a few months. Omhgee on the forums is the best player here that I know of - he's got around 5k rating - his games sit generally in the top 10 pages of games if you hunt out his name when he's playing - that implies that the 5k+ pool is extremely small.
Its definitely not 20% or something like zaphid posted, 4k + is much closer to 1% based on the limited checking you can do assuming that the live games are a sorted listed of the highest average mmr for each game.
Edit: Here is the first page 34 live game player I dotabuffed. Live games are not just ranked - but also unranked as well - its just an Average MMR sort. Which is only 2000 players. We don't have a solo rating, but we can see his winrate - 51.X which is about what you'd expect. His team ratings are 3600-4100 which probably means he could be above or below that a little - but a 5K+ rated player would carry a team in matchmaking further than 4100.

Zephyr-corey is a pretty fucking impressive carry. I would love to see how he does on a top team roster.
