Abstract
Esport is a branch of the entertainment industry that is growing exponentially and attracts more and more players, fans and followers every year. Esport implies competition in playing video games. The aim of this paper is to analyze the necessity and importance of communication in the world of video game players, given that in human everyday life communication skills are imposed as the most important category of skills that separates the successful from the unsuccessful. The outcome of the game can largely depend on the communication in the team, which is why it is important that players are aware of the principles and elements of communication, but also of the importance of the need for one person in the team who will be an ideal mediator, that is a skillful communicator. The results of a survey conducted using an online survey form in the period from September 10 to September 17, 2021, on a sample of 126 players of the game League of Legends: Summoner's Rift whose residence is located in the Republic of Croatia, showed that most respondents are aware of the importance of communication during the game or of the fact that communication is a very important element that can directly affect the outcome of the game.
