The main thing is that you have a bad integrity rating in Dota - gpk told how to be in the “zone”

BetBoom Team psychologist Alexander 'nokeepeesh' Kuznetsov spoke about working with the rosters at the Esports World Cup 2026 and the atmosphere in the Dota 2 team, and mid-laner Danil 'gpk' Skutin gave advice on getting in shape and explained why he plays little on Puck. The vlog was published on the club's YouTube channel.

In general, the guys have a working vibe now. And what I like is that they approach officialdom quite sensibly. Without any unnecessary emotional swings, any unnecessary, let’s say, emotions - both negative and positive. It’s just that the boys work, the boys try, the boys strive to do what they can.

At the moment, I do not use practices that require my direct personal presence. Perhaps in the future I will add them, but for now there is no direct need for this. For now, it still turns out that I am with the Dota squad. But, again: slightly different goals, slightly different ambitions. That’s why there’s such an emphasis now on EWC and The International. I believe that my presence here is a higher priority.

Now the pace in Dota has changed a bit, good heroes have appeared against Puck. Whatever one may say, they are still trying to nerf him. In my opinion, the hero simply became weaker in pace. But the hero can be played.

The main thing is that you have a bad integrity rating in Dota, so that you do not use the chat, only ping. And everything will work out. And you need to *** [drain] 1,000 MMR in a week, like me, then you will be in the same “zone”.
