About Raza (Jeff)
Hi, I’m Jeff, known online as “Raza.” Growing up in a small Greek town in the ’90s, the day an internet café opened changed everything. I vividly remember the moment my friend asked, “Wanna play Dota?” I had no idea that simple question would lead to a lifelong passion.
It didn’t take long for Dota to become more than just a game—it became part of my identity.
From childhood to university, and now working full-time, Dota has been my constant companion, shaping who I am and fueling my drive.
Hitting a Wall
But there was one major obstacle—I wasn’t good.
For years, I hovered around 4k MMR, stuck in the Ancient tier. Occasionally, I’d break into 5k, only to crash back down after a brutal losing streak. No matter how much I played, I couldn’t break through. I was wandering the map without a clear plan, frustrated by bad teammates, smurfs, and boosters.
Night after night, I grinded games to recover lost MMR, but it felt like I was running in place.
Losing Streak
One day, I reviewed my DotaBuff profile and faced reality—I had played over 4,000 games and was still stuck in the same bracket. I wasn’t trying to go pro, but I knew something had to change. Either Ancient was my peak, or I was doing something fundamentally wrong.
I made one final commitment to grind, but this time, I took full responsibility. The hardest part? I had to figure it all out myself. The usual advice like “farm more” wasn’t enough—I needed to understand the game from a global perspective and make better decisions.
Reaching Top 800 Europe
Once I started thinking globally, mastering the fundamentals, and making well-thought-out decisions, my MMR skyrocketed—from 6k to 7k, from 7k to 8k, and finally surpassing 10k MMR. Today, I’m proud to be ranked among the top 800 players in Europe.
A friend suggested I share what I’d learned with others, and that’s when the idea for @RC Coaching was born. Now, I help players reach their full potential, just as I did. Whether you’re stuck or aiming higher, I’m here to guide you.
