JerAx shocked fans with a sudden confession about his past

Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka, a two-time Dota 2 world champion, admitted that his journey to the top was very lonely. The esports player dreamed of having someone to talk to about it.

He made this confession in a video posted on Metafy Twitter page.

"My professional journey was very lonely. I didn't share it with anyone. I dreamt of having someone to talk to back then"

According to him, that's why he became a coach – to be that person for other players starting their journey to the top, something he didn't have himself. He hopes to provide that sense of connection for other pro players, so they feel heard and don't feel lonely.

It's worth noting that JerAx previously surprised fans with a sharp turn in his career, expressing his desire to become a personal coach for esports players.
