My Approach

I teach reasoning, not plays. I teach you the reasoning behind every decision so you can figure out the right play in any situation. I ask you questions to guide your thinking, helping you internalize the right way to approach the game.

You leave with a personalized plan to improve. After the session, I make sure you get a game plan that focuses on your specific strengths and weaknesses, not generic advice that doesn't apply to you.

Experience that sticks across sets. I've been playing TFT since Set 1 and coaching in gaming for over 10 years. I've helped players from Iron to Challenger through fundamentals-first coaching that lasts.

Working with dpei really helped me in a way that extended beyond just my gameplay. He really understood my mentality and anxiety around climbing, and tailored his communication in a way that actually clicked for me. Prior to our sessions, I found myself panicking over being in difficult or unfamiliar spots, which led to pretty unfavorable decision-making. During our review, he took the extra time and effort to lay out all the different ways I could salvage and adapt to a tough game and introduced concepts that I wouldn’t have been able to recognize myself. His style of coaching was honestly so comfortable and effective, and even gave me the confidence to try out new comps that I wouldn’t have attempted previously. As a coach, dpei was super supportive, knowledgeable, and really encouraged the aspect of improvement with no judgement. Becoming a more flexible and capable player was one of my reasons for seeking coaching, and I found that I was much closer to that version of myself after working with him!

Studying with dpei during Set 8 Worlds taught me learning TFT goes beyond meta but is really about fundamentals of the game. He has the ability to break down complex situations into logical principles and challenge how you think about decisions. Those conversations pushed my gameplay to help me be the world champion.

I worked with dpei as a TFT coach to help prepare for the EWC trials. He is super passionate, patient, has a great understanding of TFT and is great at explaining. I would definitely reccomend him as a coach for anyone looking to improve at TFT, for all levels.

Dpei really helped me see the game in a different light that I’m not used to seeing. The things he puts emphasis on are very important and sometimes easily overlooked by players of all skills. Dpei understands the game fundamentally at a very high level, so it makes it easy to converse with him. Very open minded coach that is willing to consider every option before coming to an end decision. Would highly recommend dpei’s coaching!

I worked with dpei while preparing for EWC in 4v4, and his input on the current meta was super helpful. He’s really good at communicating his ideas and breaking down spots in a way that just makes decisions clearer. As a high level competitive player, he helped structure how I think about the game.

I heavily vouch for dpei’s coaching. I had almost no time to prep for the Paris Open and very limited PC access, but he still helped me iron out a solid game plan, even without a VOD in front of him. After that session, I went on to Top 64 the Paris Open, and I definitely credit part of that result to the hour we spent together. I usually struggle with confidence in my meta reads and game plans before events, but this time I felt way more composed and ready to compete.

Questions

What ranks do you work with?
All ranks — Emerald through Challenger primarily, but lower ranks are welcome by request. The coaching approach is the same: building your decision-making from the ground up.
How long is a session?
Sessions are 1 hour.
What do I need to do before a session?
Record your games using OBS, Insights Capture, or Overwolf, then upload them to Google Drive or YouTube and share the link before your session. That's it — dpei handles the rest.
What games should I choose for VOD review?
Pick games where you ran into recurring problems or situations you didn't understand. If you're not sure which games to submit, dpei can help you decide.
Do you do live coaching?
No. dpei does VOD reviews only. VOD review is more effective — it lets you pause, rewind, and dig into decisions without the pressure of a live game.
How much does a session cost?
$60/hr for a single session. 4-session bundle is $200 ($50/hr). Payment is required before the session.
How do you handle payment?
Stripe is the primary method. Alternatives: PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, or Wise (davidapei@gmail.com).
