Healthy Gamer and Evil Geniuses will join forces at The International 10. Platform co-founder and president Dr. Alok Kanojia will assist the EG Dota 2 team as Mindset and Performance Coach.
Earlier Alok Kanojia, known as Dr. K, has already worked with Evil Geniuses Dota 2 roster at the Singapore Major and WePlay AniMajor, where the team took 2nd place and guaranteed an invite to TI10.
Evil Geniuses Director of Gaming Excellence, Danny Engels commented:
At Evil Geniuses, there is no settling. We are constantly pushing for what’s next, how we can evolve, and how we take our teams to the next level. That’s why we’ve enlisted the coaching support of Dr. K and Healthy Gamer.
Having helped millions of gamers worldwide - and a gamer himself - Dr. K is uniquely qualified to play the role of Mindset and Performance Coach for us. When you’ve maxed out on skill and technique, becoming champions comes down to teamwork and performance under pressure, and Dr. K has helped our team reach the next level.
Dr. Alok Kanojia commented:
As a DOTA 2 nerd and massive fan of Evil Geniuses, being a part of their journey has been an incredible experience. What’s most impressive about Evil Geniuses is not just their championships, it’s the fact that they’ve never stopped innovating and pushing the industry forward.
The mental aspect of gaming is just as important as skill, and I’m proud to join Evil Geniuses DOTA 2 as they embrace mental health and empower both the individual players and the team. Their leadership in the mental health space is an example for the rest of the esports industry.
The HAWK would like to point out that this attention from healthcare organizations to the gaming community is an extremely useful precedent. Since the health problems discussed in the article «Causes and consequences of the healthcare crisis in the esports environment amid the COVID-19 pandemic» that an esports player faces have yet to be resolved, but a start has already been made.
