DOTA 2: Miposhka says no one has invited him to be a coach, and talks about the importance of a psychologist.

Mental fortitude and mental health are often overlooked. As a professional player, in addition to long-term training, one also has to face the media and intense competition on the field. How to adjust one's mindset? The pressure accumulated day and night is eroding one's passion for the game. Returning from a losing match, failing to live up to expectations, and facing the crisis of being demoted are all challenges. Failing to perform at crucial moments makes it easy to fall into a state of self-blame. Therefore, the existence of a coach is truly very important.

Recently, Miposhka, the former number five player for the Spirit team, said in his personal live stream that he wanted to transition into coaching. He joked that no one invited him, and that it was quite embarrassing that no team responded to his request, as if he was trampling on his self-esteem. However, his subsequent remarks were impressive, showing that he definitely has the potential to become a coach.

He discussed the importance of psychologists in the esports industry. Whether in traditional sports, daily life, or esports, teamwork and open communication are helpful for team synergy. Some players habitually keep their dissatisfaction or important information bottled up, which can seriously affect their mental health and even the outcome of the competition. The effect may not be immediate, but having someone to confide in or a counselor is truly helpful.

On the field, it's all about moderation and on-the-spot reaction. Some players get too caught up in the game and forget themselves, trying to carry the team with their individual skills, especially when they're behind. He added that with the current way of playing DOTA 2, teamwork is more effective, and if you don't have enough players, you definitely can't win.
