IGL scouting checklist: six timestamps
Leadership talk gets mystical fast. This checklist keeps your eyes on pace, defaults, timeouts, and closing discipline.
Timestamp 1 — first default
Does the team reach a structured mid-round shape without chaos freelancing?
Timestamp 2 — first timeout
What changed after the timeout: pace, utility, or only pep talk?
Timestamp 3 — adapt after a lost pistol/open
Look for second-round plan quality, not only aim recovery.
Timestamp 4 — mid-series map pick response
How does the lead respond when the opponent’s comfort shows up?
Timestamp 5 — closing economy calls
Forced situations reveal whether the IGL’s risk language matches the team’s execution.
Timestamp 6 — post-map body language on LAN
Public LAN moments only. Calm resets matter; do not overread a single gesture.
