Slash is an amazing mentor! I took his advice and climbed over 1,000 MMR in under 3 months. Super helpful and I couldn't recommend more.

Gives you another perspective on how to play. He breaks down and gives you a detailed framework on how you can further improve so you can keep track!

Overall, I had a very positive experience with SlashStrike. He doesn't just tell you what to do, he challenges you to understand how to make the correct plays.

Slash is an awesome coach! Very personable, and able to adapt his teaching style to your exact needs. Every session was fun, and very informative!

I highly recommend Stoyan (SlashStrike) as a coach. I have gotten coaching from a variety of coaches across a number of positions, and he stands out as having given me a more comprehensive and detailed framework on how to think about various aspects of the game, from itemization to midgame decision-making. Particularly on the latter, I feel other coaches have given me very little guidance on that topic, whereas he conveys more clearly what to do and why. I will personally be doing more sessions with him because I know he can continue to go into further depth on the areas about which I am confused.

Great session! I really appreciate how you encourage critical thinking instead of just telling me what to do. Your approach is helping me understand the game more deeply and think strategically, making the learning process both effective and rewarding.

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.

Can I join your Discord server?
Of course! - slashstrike.com OR https://discord.com/invite/FKecEPG
My MMR is only X, can / should I still get coaching?
It doesn't matter what MMR you're at right now, as long as you're willing to improve. I've coached people at 50 MMR, people at 9000 MMR, and everything in between; I have treated all of them with the same level of respect and seriousness.
Where can I find your infographics?
Here: https://slashstrikedota.wordpress.com/ Or in my discord server, in the dedicated channel
I'm from X region, can I still get coaching?
I coach people from every region! It doesn't matter as long as you're willing to be flexible with hours so we can find a time that's convenient for both of us.
What time zone are you in?
UTC+3, I'm based in Sofia
