Alter Ego is currently in great form. For a team that was doubted at the start of the season, sitting in third place with a 4-2 record is quite impressive.

As a team that has often faced disappointment season after season in MPL ID, the hopes of Alter Champs (Alter Ego fans) to see their team succeed and finally lift a trophy are higher than ever.

Xepher, their new coach, is seen as the X-factor that could make it happen. Especially considering his deep knowledge of Dota 2 and his approach to mentoring the Alter Ego players, Champs have every reason to be optimistic.

Xepher revealed an interesting habit of his: roasting his players. Aware that most of them have rarely—or never—won a championship, he uses that as fuel to motivate them.

Here’s How Xepher Roasts the Alter Ego Players

During a livestream, Xepher shared his roasting tactics in a humorous way, going through each Alter Ego player one by one.

"When I tease the boys, I check Liquipedia. For example, Haizz—no gold medals at all. Just blue (runner-up) everywhere. That’s why it’s so easy to roast him," Xepher said.

"Take Nino—only one gold, and even that’s Tier B. Dreams? Just one IESF title, nothing else. And he was a buyout player! Hijumee’s alright though, plenty of gold there. At least his page looks nice."

"All that blue just looks sad. Rinee? All his golds are Tier C. Just a bald guy with mid-tier wins. Gustian? As a coach, zero golds. But as a player? Oof. How are my players losing to their own coach in achievements? Absolute chaos," he concluded.

Though it sounds like banter, Xepher knows exactly what he’s doing—using these jabs to make his players hungrier for success. So far, it’s working. The real test is whether Alter Ego can maintain this consistency until the end of the season.
