Airat "Silent" Gaziev (born December 3, 1992) is a Russian Dota 2 player who is currently coaching Team Spirit.

Biography[edit]

After a long stay on Team Empire from September 2012 to April 2013, Silent along with Goblak left the team citing poor results.[1] Instead the duo joined DD.Dota, later picked up by Quantic Gaming. They achieved a 2nd place at DreamHack Summer 2013 and a 2nd place at The International 2013: West Qualifiers, earning them a slot in The International 2013: Wildcard Match, which they ultimately lost to RaTtLeSnAkE.

After The International 2013, Silent rejoined Team Empire.[2]

After leaving Empire in December 2015, Silent joined Virtus.pro as a substitute and later would be a substitute for Polarity. He would stay out of active play for nearly one and a half years due to health reasons. He would make his return to active competitive play in April 2017, when he joined the newly formed Vega Squadron[3]. He rejoined Team Empire in November[4].

After retiring as a player in 2019, Silent joined Team Spirit as a coach, and together with the team he won two The International championships (2021 and 2023), becoming the first coach to reach this milestone.

Trivia[edit]

  • For a time after December 2015, Silent held the number one position in the world by the number of competitive games and the number of wins in competitive games.[5]
  • He is the first and only coach to win The International twice, having won it in 2021 and 2023.
