My Experience As Coach: Pykelicious
Hello, my name is Andrea, also known as Pyki, I am 25 years old and I love League of Legends.
Being very passionate about this game, I decided to start training. My experience is quite limited,
that is, I do not teach professionally. I have experience in silver, gold, platinum and diamond
division teams that sadly failed for various reasons.
I work with schematic methods using Google sheets and Google documents where you can see how
the training team is organized, Power Point and Word, where in the first case I created a guide on
how to play Iron to Diamond support and in the second case some notes and schematics to give my
player. I coach individual players and entire teams and both give a quiz with some questions about
their experience in LoL. I would also like to add that I worked as an analyst and manager, for
example looking for matches or tournaments for my players or analysing games because we did not
have an analyst.
What are the things I have more or less general experience with?
Dealing with the players: I always manage to cheer them up, keep them organized, keep
them updated, pass on the basic knowledge of the game, point out the mistakes they make in
the game...
Transmit knowledge and information to the players: I am very good at macro game. I
always do my best when it comes to teaching them what I know. Sometimes, to show them
how I see the game, I go into a game with my players and I act as a shotcaller, explaining
them how to move.
Creating compositions: I have never done many to be honest, but it is what I do the best
because when I play ranked I tend to analyse the champions of both teams and choose picks
that can suit my team.
Encourage the team: I do it very well because I am a very empathetic and emotional
person, so I would like to convey my emotions and my passion for the game. I like to ask
my children how or what the game was, whether it be a defeat or a victory, and I am always
ready to help with any small problem.
Analyze games: in general yes, but it’s what costs me the most. I know it's not my job as a
coach, but I like to do it. I need some time to analyze a game in detail; I tend to write
everything in a notebook and then, minute by minute, I see it together with the team.
Search scrims/tournaments: no problem, in this area I help myself with the WhatsApp
groups or Twitter, there are many amateur teams looking for people to play against. For
tournaments, I use sites like Battlefy.com and Arena.gg.
Explain how to play single lines: I struggle in this area in match ups and micro in general, I
cannot give detailed explanations such as the role of support, which is my main one.
When I meet a team, I would like them to be willing to play compositions created by me with safe
or insecure champions and who have serious intentions to improve because I am willing to help
them. In tournaments, games and training, I might choose a substitute instead of a main player
because they are more competent in that role or champion. I am willing to pass some slides from
my guide to the support of the team.
