Coaching in Dota 2
How to choose a coaching package in Dota 2, place an order and prepare for a session.
In short. Open “Training” in Dota 2, choose one of the three packages and click “Buy”. The first coaching session in every package is free. You agree on the time and communication channel for the sessions with the coach in the order chat.
Who this is for
- You want to play better yourself: review your matches, learn the theory, play together with a coach.
- According to the page, all coaches have over 9000 MMR.
- If you specifically need a higher rating rather than coaching, see MMR boost.
Packages
At the time of writing, the page has three packages. Prices may change — the current ones are shown on the cards.
| Package | Sessions | What's included | Price (old price crossed out) |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Ultimate” (All inclusive) | 14 + 1 | “5 Types of theoretical training”, “Analysis of match replays”, “Live-coaching”, “1 on 1 training”, “Playing with a coach in the rankings” | 153.81 € (182.29 €) |

Steps
- Open the page. In the “All games” menu, choose Dota 2, then “Training” (address /en/dota2/training). A page opens with the heading “Start your way to the championship” and the package cards.
- Compare the packages. Each card shows the number of sessions, a list of what's included, and the new price next to the old crossed-out one.
- Ask questions if needed. The “Start training now” button at the top of the page and the “Get a consultation” button at the bottom open Telegram. There you can ask about the packages before buying.
- Click “Buy”. Every package card has this button. If you're not signed in, a sign-in window opens first.
- Compare the offers. From here, the order works the same way as other boost services: a request page opens, and coaches send their offers to it. Look at “Price”, “deadline”, rating and reviews. More details: Request page: how to read booster offers.
- Click “Choose”. The row gets the “Chosen” tag. You have 120 minutes to pay (at the time of writing), after which the selection is removed.
- Click “Pay”. At checkout, check the amount in the “Total” row. You can use cashback. After payment, click “Go to the order”. More details: Choose a booster and pay.
- Arrange the first session. In the order chat, agree with the coach on the time and communication channel — usually a voice chat such as Discord.
How sessions work
- A session usually lasts about an hour. You can book several sessions in a row.
- The schedule is flexible: you agree on the time of each session with the coach.
- Sessions are recorded on request.
- Support works around the clock.
Important. The free first coaching session is included in every package as “+ 1”. To find out whether you can get it separately from a package, ask via “Get a consultation”.
What's next
- After payment, the order appears in “My orders”.
- Keep an eye on the order chat: that's where the coach confirms session times — see Boost order page.
- If the coach doesn't respond or another problem comes up, create a ticket for the order — see Problems with a boost: what to do.
