Alan “Nahaz” Bester, a well know statistician and personality within the Dota 2 scene has announced that he will coach the North American team compLexity Gaming.



Alan Bester is a Professor of Economics at the Western University of Ontario, in Canada, a dedicated father and a professional stats-man in Dota 2.



While his academic matters have taken much of his time, in 2012 Alan Bester was brought into the scene by joinDota.com under the nickname “Nahaz”. Since then he has built a strong reputation as a statistician as well as a veritable host and panelist. He’s made significant appearances at ESL One Frankfurt, The Frankfurt Major 2015 as well as The International 5.



Nahaz also owns a YouTube channel, where he hosts a series of videos, called “Stats Don’t Lie” in which he provides in-depth commentary and statistical analysis on current Dota 2 related events and tournaments.

Despite the major set-back, Nahaz has found a way to attend this year’s event as coach for NA team compLexity Gaming.



Nahaz will be driving force behind the North American organization’s Dota 2 squad, who managed to secure a spot at the Main Event through the Wild Card series.

Kyle “Beef” Bautista, General Manager of compLexity Gaming has welcomed Nahaz with open arms and has praise his “preparation, statistical analysis, and ultimately the way in which he enhances our team’s ability to prepare and improve” in his welcoming statement:



“To many people Nahaz may seem like an odd choice for a coaching position, but to myself and our team, he was the only choice. Nahaz is extremely intelligent, well spoken, hard working, and his mature approach and attitude extends to the way in which he works with our team. What he may lack in professional experience in the booth, Alan more than makes up for with his preparation, statistical analysis, and ultimately the way in which he enhances our team’s ability to prepare and improve. I could not be more happy to welcome Nahaz on board for The International.”



Nahaz has responded to compLexity’s General Manager with excitement and high hopes ahead of his new path:



“I’m beyond excited to be joining compLexity as they make their push to The International 2016. I’m convinced this team has the talent and teamwork to be among the top contenders in Seattle, and can’t wait to help them achieve their dream of a TI Championship!”
