It really comes to who you&#039;re playing with. I mean put few czechs together and you can bet your ass they will distract each other with constantly joking about literally everything or bitching about the other teams defence/getting killed by 1-shot or w/e. Never was on voicechat with any of my IDL teams, because you don&#039;t exactly need benchwarmer with broken english or, as Ralphis said, pure runner to help you out. I would love to experience that though, so maybe next season, because...<br /><br />...I know for sure it can be extremely helpful, even though I HATE the delay teamspeak has (maybe it&#039;s better with vent?) - it&#039;s like two or three seconds. If you don&#039;t feel like that&#039;s alot, try out how much of a distance you can run in three seconds with sr50. However, it&#039;s not just the fact that you know where your opponent&#039;s coming from, when you&#039;re on lets say deep defence on map11: in the last euro ctf tournament (vendetta #3) I believe it was the TS which kept me, dew and Nero super-concentrated against frenchos, when some of us were getting mad about their 3D on an easily camped map. In IDL terms: you can do some sort of half-time speech what to do and whatnot in the next round, when you realize you have leaks here and there. That gives you THE edge against teams who don&#039;t use it.<br /><br />But just like LB, I&#039;m a sound-guy, I need to hear everything around me and when someone tends to talk shit ALL THE TIME, then for me it&#039;s better to use binds. Hell, even nobinds are better than listening to nonstop bitching, so with certain guys I&#039;d rather let the team-chemistry do the job.
