Team Spirit players Denis 'Larl' Sigitov and Magomed 'Collapse' Khalilov tested out the coaching feature in Dota 2. They entered lobbies with random people and provided them with gameplay advice.
Not all the students were able to recognize the esports athletes as their coaches. However, the first person who recognized The International champions reacted emotionally.
"I even realized who you guys are. I hope you're filming this." [...] "Collapse, is it really you? Can I invite my mom over?" - One of the characters in the video.
The esports athletes asked one of the students to participate in filming the video and expressively praised them for the training. He refused, citing the presence of his mom at home, who might kick him out for yelling loudly.
Several students took the appearance of the coach in the match seriously. Together with the Team Spirit players, they discussed which items to buy and what role to play in the team.
"Idiot, who *** did you pick?"
"Darn it!"
"Cool hero, what are you planning to buy on him?"
"Two Bracers to start with, then Vladmir's Offering."
"You can play aggressively. Buy yourself two Bracers, then Phase Boots, Soul Ring, and then just go for Radiance."
Collapse's dialogue with a Mars player.
The coaching feature was introduced in Dota 2 as early as 2019. Players can leave their group open, allowing a coach with a higher rating to join them.
