Play, learn and focus
Hello! I'm Jimmy Mallma, a passionate Dota 2 coach with extensive experience helping players and teams reach their full competitive potential. My approach as a coach is focused on providing comprehensive training ranging from basic understanding of the game to developing advanced skills and complex strategies. Throughout my career, I have worked with players of varying levels, from beginners looking to learn the basics of the game to advanced competitors looking to hone their game and climb the ranks. As a coach, my main goal is to identify each player's strengths and weaknesses in order to develop a customized training plan that fits their needs. I understand that each player has a unique playstyle, so I strive to tailor my approach to their personal characteristics, whether they need to improve in mechanics, decision-making, or team communication. My method is based on creating effective strategies and tactics, teaching fundamental concepts, and implementing mental training techniques to optimize performance in high-pressure situations.

I have been coaching Dota since I started streaming back in 2014. While my methodologies have evolved, my number one priority has always been helping the student understand the whys behind their mistakes. I have worked with 100s of students ranging from all skill levels and all positions. As my student, you get to decide what you want to learn. Is it laning, farming efficiency, hero matchups, the mental aspect of the game, all the above, or something else? All of my coaching sessions are streamed live on my twitch channel, twitch.tv/bananaslamjamma, so that everyone can learn together as a community. I do my best to make the student comfortable considering he or she is in front of an audience. The vibe I strive for is that each and every viewer supports the student and perhaps even wishes they were in his or her shoes getting personalized lessons on their own Dota game. Each student gets 15 free minutes on their first session as a "consultation".

Hey I'm iAnnihilate but most people just call me Danny. I play Dota 2 competitively, most recently known for getting 2nd place at DreamLeague Season 12 with Demon Slayers. I've played with and against some of the best players in the world and have plenty of 1:1 coaching experience. My specialty is mid but I'm fully capable of playing/teaching every role in Dota. The only hero I haven't played is techies :D. If you're at all interested in what a coaching session with me is like, there are some vods on my youtube channel :)

Hi I'm Khezu. I'm a professional Dota 2 player, I've played Dota for around 7 years now. I've played at the top level (multiple Internationals), but I've also attended it as a Coach. I love helping people improve and sharing/teaching concepts and ideas especially in regards to Dota. If you'd like to increase your winrate, or get to the next rank. Or maybe even, the next RANKS, then this is the right place for you. We can achieve this with many different methods and ways. Whether it be: ‣ gameplay or concepts, ‣ communication or mentality ‣ hero picks ormatchup understanding, I've covered all of these things with tons of students and even pro players. I've already coached multiple students here on Metafy, my coaching even goes years back. I also have PLENTY of youtube videos available where you can perhaps get a glimpse for yourself of how and what I can teach. https://www.youtube.com/@KheZu/videos There are also multiple different training plans available so that we can find the right coaching style for YOU.



Hey there, my name is Stoyan! I'm a 28-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!
