Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like the letters "I" + "G" + "L" (spelled out)/

Meaning

Short for "in-game leader," the player who directs the team's strategy and makes tactical calls during a match. The brain and voice of command for the group.

Examples

The IGL called a push through B and it worked.

Without an IGL the team plays with no direction.

Regional synonyms

A total bore, someone so dull and draining they suck the energy out of any group they join. Used in Spain. The word comes from "plomo" (lead), the heavy metal, and the image is perfect: this person weighs you down, slows everything, and you simply cannot lift the mood with them around.
