Heroic captain Kasper cadiaN Meller took part in an AMA session on Reddit, where he responded to a request for advice for those who want to try out the role of an in-game leader.

cadiaN noted that rookie captains need to be an example in their team and not forget about praise.

Prepare well and try to start simply. Also, do not take any knowledge for granted. You may think that teammates on the team know certain tricks and strategies but it often happens that they are not aware.
Also, the best way to motivate people is to lead by example by explaining things appropriately, without yelling, and finding the right time to talk about mistakes. Also, the easiest part is to praise people for doing something right, they will automatically try to do it more often if you inspire them.

To another question about what advice he would have given himself ten years ago, he answered the following: “act a little slower and be less self-confident”, adding that in those years there were few good leaders and coaches who would set the right path. when compared to today.

From our point of view, we would add that Casper's advice can and should be used in matchmaking in a premade group or with randoms. Of course, the latter will not always want to follow your commands to you but a pinch of patience can make miracles happen. CS:GO is a team game and shooting alone will not be enough for stable winstreaks, but competent interaction with teammates will always come in handy.
