IMPROVING TACTICAL COORDINATION IN DOTA 2 ESPORTS THROUGH RAPID IN-GAME COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Effective tactical coordination in team-based esports depends largely on the speed and clarity of communication among players. In Dota 2, where the game environment changes rapidly, delayed communication may negatively affect players’ ability to coordinate attacks, defensive actions, and other collective tactical decisions. The purpose of this study is to examine the possibilities of improving tactical coordination in Dota 2 through rapid in-game communication.

The proposed system is intended to reduce the time required for communicating tactical information and facilitate faster coordination of collective actions. The use of predefined commands assigned to specific keys may support players in maintaining their attention on the game environment while simultaneously exchanging essential tactical information with teammates. The findings highlight the potential importance of optimizing communication tools as a component of tactical coordination in Dota 2 esports.
