xQc Does Not Believe Coaches Help Overwatch Players Get Better

Former Dallas Fuel player Félix "xQc" Lengyel is often regarded as one of the most talented tank players in the world of competitive Overwatch with his Winston play being seen as some of the best in the world. While xQc was released from the Overwatch League roster of the Dallas Fuel, the player has continued to be one of the top Overwatch streamers on Twitch and has also secured a roster spot on Team Canada for the 2018 Overwatch World Cup. 

Team Canada's tank player is often known for not being afraid to speak his mind regarding the world of Overwatch and often can be found expressing his thoughts and ideas to his viewers on his stream. 

During one of xQc's latest streams, he went into discussing how be believes that coaches do not often help players get better and when they do, it is a small amount. He went on to explain that he believes players improve themselves with thoughts and suggestions from coaches working the best when used as a starting point for players to address their own play.

"There are very little coaches that actually do something good and when they do it, it is not that much. Most of it comes from the players themselves. I do feel like generally, unless it is done very well, it is dogshit. The reason why players do well is their own conclusions, their own game sense, their own brain. What a coach can do is give, I think, is plant seeds," said xQc. "If you plant seeds, ask questions, give hypothesis and let the player analyze it and from this idea grow thought patterns and understandings. From that, not only will they improve, since it is their own conclusions, their own play, they will be like 'I agree with this'."

The former Overwatch League player went to further explain that he believes that coaches need to give more detailed feedback and analysis to players and not reiterate facts that the players themselves already know. 

It remains to be seen if fans will ever get to see xQc competing in the Overwatch League again.

However, with the 2018 Overwatch World Cup coming up, the coach for Team Canada will be looked upon by xQc to provide valuable insight in order to help the team's players improve for the highly anticipated event.
