This has been bugging me for a while now!

In the 2v2 proleague games, how do the players communicate with each other?

The reason I\\\\\\\'m asking because I thought typing in a game is prohibited? And It\\\\\\\'s impossible to talk to each other because you can\\\\\\\'t hear a thing when your wearing headphones!

If they don’t communicate with each other, how do you tell them which player to attack first and so on?

Please enlighten me!

Cheers.

I think they use their game things, like the alt+click on the minimap, and usually when a team goes up to play, they have practiced and they know what to do.

I those levels, I don't thing it's "neccesary" to like communicate.

They may aswel do that too. I don't know, I'm just guessing here, but like in 1v1 games, they have certain techs prepared to be used. And they play according to the situation. I believe...>.<!

Most often they know what to do, but if communication is needed, they talk with eachother, and ping the map. Alliechat is allowed.

They alt tab out of the game, email each other, and then alt tab back and check their email a bit later.
What fun is it being cool if you can’t wear a sombrero?

Because they dont have a microphone? lol. They use alliechat which is perfect and doesnt require additional hardware and 3rd party software.

I don't think they have to speak much, I mean they have determined a strategy pre-game and will change according to how the game goes, much like 1v1. And since they're pros, they know what to do.

What about getting it? Cause it helps playing 2v2 even, you can't micro when you need to say something etc when it can be necessary to do so. And yes I'm kinda sure they still need to communicate 'at that level' or whatsoever.
It takes a fool to remain sane.
