Professional Dota 2 players shared advice on how to overcome a losing streak. Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov, Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov, Ilya "Raddan" Mulyarchuk, and others shared their experiences.
"Stop playing Dota. Go for a walk and chill a bit. Losing makes you make more mistakes and rage at your teammates," Edgar "9Class" Naltakyan suggested.
"Push through until you win. Don't give up," Alimzhan "watson" Islambekov advised.
"Drink some Arabic coffee, it really energizes you. Win the Battle Cup with your best friends. Enjoy life and don't play Dota 2," Ilya "Kiritych" Ulyanov recommended.
"You need to rest for a couple of days and then come back to Dota with a belief in victory. If you don't believe in winning, you'll keep losing," Dmitry "Fishman" Polishchuk said.
"Don't play Dota. Delete it. I had a losing streak, and I got rid of it without any effort. Just didn't play. Go outside and touch some grass," Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov suggested.
"Take a break from Dota for a few hours. Or keep going until you win. There are two options," Anton "dyrachyo" Shkredov mentioned.
"Go outside, visit a park, pet some cats. Come back in a few hours and start searching again. If it still doesn't go well, it's better to go to sleep," Ilya "Raddan" Mulyarchuk advised.
"Don't play Dota," Yegor "Nightfall" Grigorenko stated.
