Everything he says is Gold
“After going through several coaches, GIGA Gaming unlocked a potential in me I had not realized. I am climbing faster than I thought was possible, even in a new role. No amount of words can do his coaching justice. Only by experiencing it yourself can you truly see the value of his teachings.”
~Stany (Eastern Coastal Conference ADC of the week) (Diamond III > Masters)
Fantastic Coach
"He helped me improve my game-play tremendously. As someone who wants to get to the next level of the League of Legends esports scene, I would recommend utilizing this coaching service. He is a very chill, respectable, and kind coach. He is incredibly knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. If you don't get it the first time, that's okay, he'll keep helping until you do. He understands that learning is a process and that mistakes are learning opportunities :)!"
