Hey there, my name is Stoyan! I'm a 26-year-old Bulgarian pro DotA player, and I'm here to enable you to get what you want out of this game. I've been playing DotA for over 15 years now, and apart from playing competitively I make highlight videos, stream, write guides, analyze drafts of the top teams, and of course coach people! Aside from all that, I love working out at the gym, going for walks, taking the time to socialize and spend time with friends and family, and am also an aspiring rapper. I'm also a bit of a language geek, and can coach you in not just English but also Bulgarian, Dutch and Spanish! Enough about me - why should you pick me as your coach, and what can you expect if you do? Every student that books me gets access to an online document where you can see exactly what we're working on in each lesson and how it all fits into the bigger picture, so that you can track your progress. As soon as I ask you some questions and get to know you a bit as a player, I will be able to personalize the document to fit you, giving you (optional) homework and tips between lessons, which will once again help show you what you need to improve on and what you're already pretty good at! When you book me, you also get access to my coaching discord, where you can ask me questions any time and also see answers to questions asked by other students. My main role is mid, but I have a lot of experience with the others and can coach you on every role and hero. Apart from mechanics, positioning, drafting, etc., we can also go over some matchmaking psychology - how to achieve the correct solo queue mentality, improve your confidence, avoid getting tilted, learn *how* to learn and improve better on your own, and even keep your pub teammates positive. Once again, all these things will be listed in the document and together we can choose which ones are most important for you to work on. These are the coaching methods we can follow (if you can think of one that's not listed, I'd love to hear it!): - Replay analysis (We go over a replay of your choice, I move through it while sharing screen on Discord) - Live coaching (You queue for a game with me in the coach slot, I guide your decision-making throughout the game) - Reverse live coaching (I queue for a game while sharing my screen, explaining my decisions and gameplay in real-time) - Laning practice in lobby (Explaining and trying different lane match-ups) - Duo queue (We play together) - Mock drafting (We draft against each other and then discuss the outcome) - Mechanics drills (We go in a lobby together and I help you practice combos/dodges/timings) I also offer Team Coaching, able to help your team in-game with strategy, drafting, gameplay etc. as well as outside of the game with communication, mentality, and fixing issues. I coach any region and my schedule is flexible, so if yours is tight let me know and we can probably work something out!

If You've Never Had Coaching Before

If you haven't had any lessons with me yet, or any dota coaching in general, this is a great place to start! Buying this, you'll get the following: 1. I'll first set up your personalized google doc together with you, where I will explain some of the fundamental principles of the game and write down a plan for your improvement 2. I go through one of your replays while sharing screen with you on discord, getting to know your playstyle and figuring out your strengths and weaknesses as a player 3. After we've established what we should start working on, I will coach you live while watching you play 1 game (through dotaplus / screenshare) From there, I'll leave you with homework in your google doc and a plan of action for your next games and our future lessons

Live Coaching

I will watch you play a game live (either in-game spectating with Dota Plus, or through Discord screenshare), and give you the optimal gameplan as soon as we see the picks, and throughout the game. We will focus on item builds, skill builds, timings and movement. Where exactly on the map should you be now, in 15 seconds, in 1 minute, etc. After the game, I might mention mechanical mistakes and things that went right/wrong leading to the win or loss.

Team / 5-Stack Live Coaching

Whether you're just a 5-stack of friends or a team looking to go pro, this lesson type is for you! After a quick introduction, I will be watching you guys play live and joining your Discord to listen to your communication. Depending on your preference, I can either stay silent during the game, or be vocal and help out with calls. Topics I can focus on include but are not limited to: 1. Drafting / hero choices / strategy 2. Communication / shot-calling 3. Laning stage 4. Coordination (hitting timings together, moving together) 5. Teamfighting (mechanical execution, combos, etc.) 6. Mentality (staying positive, avoiding tilt, team spirit, etc.)

Replay Review

------- This is not a live session! You send me the match ID and I send you the recording ------- If you want an in-depth review of your match(es), this is the lesson type for you. Depending on what you tell me, I can focus on any of the following: 1. Hero pick / item-build / skill-build 2. Laning Stage 3. Map Movement (are you in the right place at the right time?) 4. Teamfight / skirmish execution (mechanics, positioning) If you don't specify anything, I will spend a bit of time on all of these. I will typically spend between 20 and 40 minutes per replay, analyzing it like this.

1 vs 1 Laning Stage

If you're looking to improve your laning stage only, this lesson type is for you. We'll go into a custom lobby and play 1v1s. This is most effective for mid-laning, but we can also practice sidelane 1v1 scenarios. Typically, I would recommend playing not much longer than around 5 minutes per matchup, as things become less and less realistic after that point. This also allows us to get in at least 6 runs per hour, giving you experience in plenty of different match-ups (or a ton of experience with fewer, specific match-ups).

Mock Drafting

If you're a captain, or just want to improve your drafting abilities and knowledge, this lesson type is for you! Using a Drafting Simulator website, we will draft against each other and discuss different bans, picks, metas, etc. The website allows us to rewind, so we can go through many different scenarios. This type of knowledge is rarer and more valuable, which is why it has a high price and each session is only 30 minutes long.

Quick Replay Overview

If you only want a quick overview of your match(es), this is the lesson type for you. I will check out your replay without actually going into the game, just looking at the scoreboard, item graph and networth graphs. This is usually enough to point out where your build / pick / plan went wrong, and how to avoid that. I will typically spend no more than 10-15 minutes per replay in this quick overview approach.
