What's the daily routine of the NAVI players?

The ua Natus Vincere players ru Kirill "Gospadarov" Gospadarov and by Nikita "clawz" Marchinsky shared their daily routine and gave advice on how to manage time in order to have enough for practice and rest. 

What time do you wake up on weekdays? Do you usually wake up by yourself or do you set an alarm?

I wake up at 9 or 10 with the help of an alarm. I rarely wake up on my own.

I don't use an alarm to wake up. It depends but I try to ensure that my day starts at 10:30 or 11:00.

When do you go for breakfast? What do you like to eat at the start of your day?

Before breakfast, I drink a glass of water, wash my face, and then I prepare my meal. I like to have casseroles or coffee with syrniki (Russian cheese pancakes).

 I go for breakfast at 10:30-11:00.

Do you do any morning exercises or maybe full-on workout in the gym or perhaps calisthenics? 
ruKirill «Gospadarov» Gospadarov
 |  |  | 

I go to the gym three times a week, but sometimes I cheat and skip it because of the games or the driving school.

My morning exercise is to pull the charger out the phone, after breakfast I do some pull-ups. I do it twice a day. 

All right, so when does your practice usually start? How long do you practice individually and how long with a team?
ruKirill «Gospadarov» Gospadarov
 |  |  | 

I usually start at 12:30. The team practice starts at 13:00 and it lasts until 21:00-22:00. Then I have a little rest and continue with individual practice. I can't say exactly how much I practice individually, it is always different.

byNikita «clawz» Marchinsky
 | |  | 

We practice with the team for 4 or 5 hours, and individually for 2-3 hours.

What do you do in your spare time? What helps you to relax and unwind after games?

 |  |  | 

I watch tv shows or go for a walk. "The Last Dance", "Punisher", "Daredevil", "Breaking Bad" — I really liked those.

byNikita «clawz» Marchinsky

I relax from games on a pull-up bar and from the pull-up bar, I relax in games.

When do you usually eat dinner and what do you prefer? 
ruKirill «Gospadarov» Gospadarov
 |  |  | 

I prefer protein products and vegetables, usually chicken with salad or cottage cheese with honey or jam. 

byNikita «clawz» Marchinsky
 | |  | 

I usually have dinner after our practice, around 23:30, I prefer meat.

How often do you go out on average in a week? Tell us where do you like to walk around.
ruKirill «Gospadarov» Gospadarov
 |  |  | 

I go out about once a week or twice. The city is small, there is no place to go for walks, so I go to some bars or venues or to another city with friends.

byNikita «clawz» Marchinsky
 | |  | 

My walks are usually to the pull-up bar or to the garden with potatoes (about 10 seconds at a relaxed pace). 

At what time do you go to bed? Can you fall asleep straight away or do you watch a YouTube video or something like that before falling asleep?
ruKirill «Gospadarov» Gospadarov
 |  |  | 

I go to bed after 12:00 PM, closer to 1:00 or 2:00 AM. Generally, I fall asleep slowly, without YouTube or watching anything, just by myself. 

byNikita «clawz» Marchinsky
 | |  | 

I try to go to bed between 01:00 and 02:00 AM, I fall asleep quite fast. But I fall asleep much faster when I watch videos from our channel (plus I don't have nightmares).

Do professional players have any tricks or secrets on how to spend the day or at least the practice itself as productively as possible? 
ruKirill «Gospadarov» Gospadarov
 |  |  | 

I am trying to figure out the best way to spend my day. I'm experimenting and trying to figure it out. The most important thing is sleep, which is not so good in my case. So sometimes I wake up tired and it's hard to be in focus.

byNikita «clawz» Marchinsky
 | |  | 

There are no tricks, but there's a motivation to get better, and that's what moves you to get better.

Do you have any advice on time management?
ruKirill «Gospadarov» Gospadarov
 |  |  | 

Strive for a consistent schedule and go to sleep and wake up at a certain time, devote some time to the physical activities on a regular basis. The main thing is to perform in the way your body allows you. Structure your day, for example, you will only be playing from 18:00 to 23:00. Whatever it might be: scrims, deathmatches, practices with bots, or watching demos.  

Just play, and you will succeed!

The most important thing is to get up early, and the rest will work out and it'll be fine. Boys live a healthy life!
