Bio
boo1k — coach of the BetBoom Team Dota 2 team, previously a support player at Starladder tournaments.
After ending his playing career at the end of 2013, he disappeared from the esports scene for a while until he became a coach for AS Monaco Gambit in 2018. Despite a disappointing performance at the qualifiers for The International 2018, where the team along with the coach was benched, boo1k formed the team ferzee together with Daxak, Afoninje, AfterLife, KingR, and VANSKOR. After securing second place at the Reshuffle Madness tournament, they rejoined AS Monaco Gambit. In the 2018-2019 season, the team achieved significant success, winning silver medals at The Bucharest Minor and StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 1. However, the team's performance declined in the spring, culminating in a failure at the qualifiers for The International 2019, after which the team was disbanded. A month later, Anatoly joined Virtus.pro as a second coach.
After the tournament in Shanghai, boo1k became the subject of a meme about "window airing," and his reputation as a specialist worsened. In the 2019-2020 season, he became the head coach of VP, but the revamped roster failed to reach previous heights. In March 2020, Anatoly temporarily left the professional scene, and in April became the coach of EXTREMUM, where he also failed to achieve significant success and left the club.
In 2021, he returned to AS Monaco Gambit, where, according to analysts, the team had a chance to qualify for The International 10. However, the departure of key players No[o]ne and SoNNeikO in May 2021 significantly reduced their chances. After the failure at the qualifiers, boo1k left AS Monaco Gambit. After the failures at WePlay AniMajor, Virtus.pro needed a coach, and at the end of August 2021, Anatoly rejoined them in this role. Together with him, the team took 5th-6th place at The International 2021.
In December 2022, Boo1k became the coach of BetBoom Team. Under his leadership, the team managed to take 2nd place at DreamLeague Season 20 and 5th-6th at The International 2023, as well as 2nd places at DreamLeague Season 22 and ESL One Birmingham 2024.
