The effect of language on communcation

This is a theoretical question because valorant hasn't progressed even close to the point where such a question would be relevant.

Would speaking certain languages improve a team's ability to coordinate and communicate due to increased information density in the speech? Like, if you could convey the same idea with a smaller amount of speech would your team be able to react faster than to in game events?

Similarly, it a language had more clarity for the vocabulary used by teams to communicate, would a team speaking it see any benefit?

It's a question that I've thought about on multiple occasions - there isn't a very popular example of this in traditional sports either from my knowledge at least.

i feel like a lot of gaming lingo is created in the english side of twitch so english would be the first choice for pros

Well the same could be said by any other sport and esport, and you don't see the advantages of it (as teams across the world take cups regardless of language).

you gotta remember they aren't doing things on the fly at that level either, so they're aware and drilled enough to react to everything.

Of course!

In theory, creating a language specifically for Valorant would be ideal.

There are examples of this in nature. For example dolphins can communicate faster than humans sometimes, as in, some messages are faster spoken when talking "dolphin language" than they are when speaking english.
