I'll keep this short and sweet. I hit Immortal yesterday. I climbed all the way up from Ancient 1 and gained 1500+ MMR in just under 350 total games, and I really enjoyed the journey along the way. If you're serious about improvement, I would highly consider getting coaching from Pain. He'll teach you the things you actually need to do in order to climb. I finally feel like I understand how Dota should be played. Thank you Pain.

Yesterday I hit Immortal rank playing Carry after switching roles and taking Pain's coaching sessions. I gained something around 500 MMR, which is significant after playing Offlane for years prior to that. Pain's advice allowed me to notice my own mistakes and taught me how to deal with them. I feel like in a couple hourly sessions with Pain you will gain more knowledge and insights about the game than in any other form of Dota-related content. So if you're serious about improving, this investment is really smart. Looking forward to what's next for me!

Been working with Pain for several months now, climbed over 1000 mmr and finally hit divine today. The way he explains my mistakes is super motivating and I always wanna queue 10+ pubs after a coaching session with him.

I just want to say thank you to Pain as he's one of the reasons why I reached Immortal! We have started since I was Legend IV or something, and we have been slowly making progress together by analyzing my games and seeing what works and what does not. If you are ever looking for a coach that can help you climb the ladder, Pain is your guy! Thanks!

I've been playing dota since I started playing PC Games, I first calibrated as a herald when i started playing ranked and battled my way all the way up to Archon over a few years however I got stuck. I took Pain on as a coach after watching one of his videos. You wouldn't think it but its simple shit that he says during coaching sessions like 'hit more creeps' that make you win games. DOTA's not complicated if you follow simple formulas to win is what I am learning during my coaching sessions. So if you want to level up and rank up I'd recommend Pain. I ranked up 4 times in about a month after taking him on as a coach if that gives you an idea of effectiveness. Only take on coaching sessions if you are coachable and willing to fix your bad habits and the MMR will come easily.

Went from Crusader 3 {September 19. 2023} to legend 3 {November 19, 2023} in the span of weeks. Took Private lessons and group sessions all together. Had to slow down private lessons cause I wasn't improving much and we kept going over the same mistakes, I wanted to take time to improve what I learned and was hard stuck archon 5 until everything clicked, now I'm back to improving again. I would recommend pain if you're wanting to improve. Take you're time and let things set in before ordering again. 10/10 would recommend. I'll leave updates every time I move up a rank. UPDATE: I have reached Ancient

Only had 2 sessions with @Pain- so far and already gained 700 plus mmr in just half a month. Very insightful coach, makes it very clear how to win games. Would highly recommend 💯

I had recently hit a huge plateau after having some confidence shattering losses. I am mainly a position 1 player and my biggest issues in my matches were having no clue how to adapt to a hard lane matchup as well as not knowing how to play from behind. It felt like every time I played a new game I would end up throwing the lane somehow and having zero impact for the next 20-30 minutes.Our first session Pain pointed out a few mistakes I had been making in my matches as well as teaching me some fundamentals that I could abuse to win lanes that would otherwise be very difficult. At the end of our session he gave me a goal to have a good first 15-20 minutes in each pub from here on out. At first it took some time to adjust to the things I was taught, but after a few games of practicing and memorizing the techniques we talked about I started to gain momentum and I haven't shown signs of stopping! After just ONE session with Pain I have gained over 500 mmr soloqueuing. I feel like right now I am playing the best Dota I have ever played and know that if I ever hit another wall I have a reliable coach to fall back on! I am looking forward to learning more about my favorite game in the near future.

I was hard stuck at legend for about 6 years. Since I've started coaching I climbed from a low of Archon 3 to Divine 1 in about 3 months and I'm easily playing the best dota of my life with no cheap cheese strats or single hero spamming. I had weekly replay sessions with Pain. He's very thoughtful and doesn't mind humouring me when I have a theory that is completely wrong. He'll test it out and convince me one way or another and win me round when most coaches will say 'no that's wrong do x'. He is an absolute beast at laning and doing some 1v1s with him really opened my eyes. I had a 75% lane winrate at Legend before coaching but he completely demolished me and taught me the importance of maintaining basics like Last hitting that everyone wants to ignore but are probably the most important thing. On top of that he's just a chilled guy, I like him and I hope he keeps doing well. His passion for dota is obvious as I see him online all the time watching replays and it's awesome talking to him about the meta and stuff. Hopefully I'll hit immortal one day soon and if I do he'll be a massive reason why. Cheers Pain, you're a good one!

Pain is great. I was able to get from crusader 3 to legend 3 in a matter of months. It took me around 3-4 month and weekly coaching (aka replay analysis) with Pain. He points out my mistakes in my unsuccessful games and he points out the good things that I improved on. No micromanagement, just straight to the point and no bs. If you listen and apply, you will improve. He told me if you blame your team, then delete dota. I listened. I deleted XD. But then came back, had another session with my boy Pain and got to legend 3. I maintain my winrate at around 70%, but dota is full of surprises, so I believe its very good. Last thing to say: I have been coached by other people and so far pain has been the best.

Recently, I hit ancient. I started getting coaching when I was low archon, maybe archon 2. Within 5 coaching sessions and 200 games I managed to make it through all of archon and all of legend. He does a really good job at simplifying and honing in on what you need to improve. If you're able to apply his advice in game you will get better. Hopefully I can make it to divine next.
