Communication is one of the most important things, that a roster needs to master in order to become a real contender in the professional Counter-Strike scene. With many teams having different approaches to how they communicate it is, seemingly, not only about the way in which the rosters communicate but also the synergy between players.

Whilst it is very rare that we get to listen in on a roster’s voice comms it can give some incredible insight into the roles of the roster as well as the synergy between the players. Most notably is Cloud9’s In-game Leader Alex “ALEX” McMeekin, who seems to remain calm and collected in even the most intense situations.

Take a look at some of Cloud9’s voice comms from Flashpoint, DreamHack, and BLAST Premier. They manage to stay extremely composed, focused, and even humorous when facing some of the biggest teams in the world.
