How Coaching Works
Coaching is a personal review of your game with a high-level coach. Let's walk through how a lesson works step by step, how the solo and party formats differ, what's included and what you can add — so you know in advance what you're paying for and what to expect.
Short answer
Coaching is a personal review of your game with a coach rated 7,500+ MMR. A lesson lasts 60 minutes, runs in your dashboard over voice with screen sharing and is recorded; the recording and your chat with the coach stay yours. The coach watches your replays beforehand, so the paid time goes into analysis, not into watching the recording. If instead you want the rating without playing yourself, see how MMR boosting works — solo, party and learning.
The coach arrives having already watched your replays — the 60 paid minutes go into analysis and a plan for your next games, not into watching the recording.
How a lesson works
The process from order to lesson is four simple steps:
- Pick a coach and pay. On the coaching page you pick a coach for your level and role and pay for the number of hours you need.
- A manager reaches out on Telegram. After payment a manager contacts you, helps arrange a time and asks for 1–2 replays of your games.
- The coach watches the replays beforehand. Before the lesson the coach reviews your replays for free, so they arrive with analysis ready instead of spending your paid time on it.
- A 60-minute call in your dashboard. Voice and screen sharing, and the lesson is recorded. Afterwards the recording and notes stay yours, and you arrange the next lesson.
Format: solo or party
Lessons come in two formats — pick by your goal:
- Solo (standard). A one-on-one review: the coach studies your replays and play and gives feedback. Suits most people.
- Party (+50%). The coach plays alongside you and corrects you right in the match. For ratings up to roughly 3000 MMR this brings results 1.5–2× faster.
The rule on the coaching page is to take a coach 900–1,500 MMR above you. Below 6,000 you cannot land inside that gap exactly: take the entry tier, it is still the closest to your language. The higher your rating, the more the choice matters — by 6,700 the entry tier is almost level with you, and the review slides into platitudes.
What's included
Some things come with every lesson, others you can add to fit you:
| Option | What it is |
|---|---|
| 60-minute lesson | Included — a live review with the coach over voice |
| Lesson recording | Included — saved in your account forever |
| Chat between lessons | Included — a question for the coach between sessions, 10:00–22:00 MSK |
| Materials and homework | Add-on — notes and tasks tailored to you |
| 30-min replay review | Add-on — a separate detailed review of a recording |
| Urgent lesson | Add-on — priority on timing |
| 10-hour package | Add-on — a cheaper hour, and sessions can be frozen for 6 months |
The exact price per hour for your level and the volume discounts are worked out by the calculator on the coaching page; if you're weighing it against a boost, the How much it costs to raise MMR guide breaks down the price of rating.
What to expect & guarantee
Coaching is work on habits, not one-off magic:
- One or two clear goals per lesson. The coach doesn't dump everything at once but gives a focus you can actually absorb.
- The course follows a plan. The first lesson sets things up: the coach watches your replays and sets the goals. Lessons two and three cover role theory and builds, four and five cover teamfights, rotations and wards. After that, if you took the package, it is practice on your weak spots.
- Homework cements it. With the materials option you get notes and tasks — without practice a review is forgotten fast.
- Progress shows over distance. Like win rate, growth is visible over a run of games, not a single lesson — see the How to break a loss streak guide.
- If it doesn't land, we refund. If the first lesson wasn't a fit, the money-back guarantee applies; in a package you can switch coaches for free.

FAQ
How does a coaching lesson work?
You pick a coach and pay for the hours, a manager reaches out on Telegram and asks for 1–2 replays. The coach watches them beforehand, then runs a 60-minute lesson over voice in your dashboard (session recording included). Afterwards the recording and notes stay yours and you arrange the next lesson.
How long is one lesson and what is included?
A lesson lasts 60 minutes. It always includes a live review, the lesson recording saved in your account forever, and chat with the coach between sessions. You can also add materials with homework, a separate replay review and an urgent lesson.
What is the difference between solo and party format?
In solo the coach reviews your replays and play one-on-one — it suits most people. In party the coach plays alongside you and corrects you in the match; for ratings up to roughly 3000 MMR this brings results 1.5–2× faster.
What if the lesson wasn't a fit?
A money-back guarantee applies to the first lesson, and in a package you can switch coaches for free. Coaching is work on habits, and progress shows over a run of games rather than a single session.
Want to review your game with a coach?
Coaches rated 7,500+ MMR watch your replays, run a 60-minute lesson (voice + screen sharing in your dashboard) and give you a plan for your next games. The lesson recording and homework stay yours; if it doesn't land, we refund you.
