How to IGL (In-Game Lead) in Ranked Valorant 2026
Simple calls: 'Let's go A', 'Stack B this round', 'Save this round'. Don't: Micromanage every player. Do: Make simple group decisions. When: Start of round (strategy), mid-round (adapt), economy (buy/save calls). Mindset: Suggestions not orders. Good IGL increases team cohesion without being toxic. Practice decisive calls, adjust if wrong.
