Biography
Early years
Alexander Dashkevich was born in Yalta in 1990. In childhood he was fond of computer games: first Warcraft, and then DotA. At school, he wore a hairstyle with a small ponytail, which is why he received the nickname "Tail".[1]
After graduation, he entered the Kiev State Trade and Economic University with a degree in financier. In Kiev, as the Hard Team player, Alexander wins a major local tournament, after which he begins performing on the professional stage with Planet-X.
DotA
XBOCT was in Planet-X's DotA team in 2009 along with the likes of Axypa, Amsi, Jerry and Chief. However, a loss to DTS shattered the team, as the team had to take in 2 replacements. After their disappointing performance in following tournaments, the team went into inactivity and parted ways.
Dota 2
XBOCT returned to DotA by joining Natus Vincere's newly formed DotA team in 2010, achieving a surprise result through beating the ten top Ukrainian team DTS-Gaming in a showmatch.
Near the end of 2010, Na`Vi was joined by Artstyle and Dendi, which promptly boosted them to the top of the DotA scene. Na`Vi first participated in ASUS Autumn 2010, in which they only achieved 3rd place. In 2011 XBOCT and Na'Vi gained global fame by winning The International 2011.[2]
After also falling to Moscow Five in OSPL Spring, Na`Vi won their first gold in ES-Area's championship, and proceeded to win the next few ASUS tournaments. Despite their change in roster prior to The International, Na`Vi went undefeated in the group stages and defeated EHOME 3-1 in the finals. XBOCT had to play Mirana in almost every game in the said tournament. Na`Vi continued their good form into Electronic Sports World Cup 2011, where they also defeated EHOME in the finals and made one of the most unexpected comebacks of the year against Monkey in the Semi-finals. However, their trip to the World DotA Championship in China did not fare well, as they were knocked out by DK in the quarter-finals. They bounced back to place 2nd in Dota 2 Star Championship, losing in the finals to Russian mix The Retry.[3]
After an initial dip in performances, Na`Vi eventually picked up their pace in February 2012, winning both The Premier League and The Defense in the space of a few days. In 2012 and 2013, XBOCT, as part of Natus Vincere, reached the final of The international, after which the results began to deteriorate.
On 16 October 2015, Na`Vi announced the disband of their main roster.[4]
XBOCT plays for a number of less famous teams such as Team Empire, Fantastic Five, Team Spirit, plays as a substitute for HellRaisers and Virtus.pro, but does not achieve significant success. However, as of 2015, Alexander was one of the ten most popular Dota 2 players in the world.[5]
In March 2017, he became the first esports player signed by Russian football club FC Anji.[6]
In July 2017, he became a coach for Na`Vi.[7]
