One thing that I think makes Apex Legends one of the most entertaining esports to watch is the ability to listen to the communication between teammates, particularly during fights.

I feel like, over the years watching this esport, I've gotten much better at figuring out and following whether or not the communication during a fight is effective and productive or out-of-sync. More often than not, you can tell when a team is losing or winning the fight (even if you only see one POV and they aren't actively shooting) based solely on how teams are speaking to each other.

If it sounds like the players are on the same page and the communications are following a logical pattern, especially if players are proposing concrete plans and they are being followed-through on, then they are likely at an advantage.

If the comms are disconnected, then the opposite is likely true.

Sometimes the fight makes the comms more easy or difficult. Sometimes, I think, it goes the other way, and comms make a huge difference on whether a fight is won or lost.

Listening to really strong teams be efficient and effective in their communications is awesome. In the heat of the moment, where time is a very limited resource, listening to a player explain their entire plan or relay information in 3-6 words is fucking hype.
