Dotalicious is good for most US players
Skill level is just decent, somewhere around DotaCash tbh, but leaving is extremely rare.
RGC is better for Europe or USEast, you can still play with about 100ms if you're West.

more competitive and less bm aren't 2 requirements that go hand in hand, esp not in dota..
This can be quite true.
As you play higher skilled DotA games you will encounter more stubborn egos that may make the game unenjoyable to play.
Find the right balance of competitiveness and enjoyability so you don't end up wasting your time.
