==Main Caller== The main caller is the backbone of any team, be it a [[Highlander]] or [[6v6]] team. It is the job of the main caller to communicate with the entire team, informing them when and how pushes, retreats and various other plays are to be carried out. It is essential that the main caller communicates clearly and concisely so actions are carried out as soon as possible. Teams which often fail to listen and react to the main caller generally fall apart due to a lack of focus on their enemies, positioning and the game as a whole. Having a main caller is not a requirement nor obligation for every team, very often teams use different systems as they see fit to their playstyle, often using no maincaller at all or even 2 callers with strong maincalling presence. ===Attributes=== A main caller should be a player that has a clear understanding of the metagame and a good gamesense, that knows how their team can take advantage of a certain situation or turn the match around with precise and concise calls. Having a strong presence in the team and being respected and heard by your teammates at all times is also necessary. A good microphone is recommended but not obligatory. === Main Calling in 6v6 === The main caller is usually the [[Soldier | Pocket Soldier]], the [[Scout | Pocket Scout]] or the [[Demoman]]. This is because most 6v6 teams will focus their play around their combo to make use of รผber and general health advantages. That being said, a class that plays a big part in or around the combo is often recommended as a maincaller. However this is not true for all cases, as there are teams which have far more experienced players on flank positions that have good main calling abilities. === Main Calling in Highlander === Having a main caller in HL is much more important than on a 6v6 team, a player with a strong presence, that gives clear instructions is a plus, because HL is made up of 9 players in each team, the comms get usually a lot more noisy, often even resulting in a snowballing effect where calls are being talked over by other calls and there is no clear understanding of the direction the team should go. The main caller is usually the [[Heavy]], Medic or Demo as these are the essential combo classes.
