About
Welcome to Esports Manager 2026, a strategy-simulation game where you take charge of a competitive esports organization from the inside out
Start from scratch or take over one of the existing teams. Navigate the complexities of player recruitment, team development, tournament schedules, and business operations. Whether you're optimizing training, making key transfer decisions, or managing the mental health and motivation of your roster, every move counts toward your legacy.
There’s no scripted campaign or forced ending—your journey continues as long as your manager stays active. Grow, adapt, and lead your team to the top.

Simulation Mode
Step into the match yourself with the Simulation module—an immersive, highly detailed experience where you control tactics and react to dynamic in-game events in real time.

Inspired by the real-world challenges of esports management—balancing financial, psychological, legal, and organizational responsibilities with no hand-holding.
Real Organizations, Real Players
Choose from a wide range of authentic teams and manage a roster filled with real professional players. Build your lineup your way.
Player Market and Transfers
Buy, sell, and loan players to create the best roster for your goals. Market dynamics, contract negotiations, and timing all matter.

Leadership and Player Interaction

Very bad simulation, absurdly ai sided
Das Spiel ist ohne die kleineren Ligen momentan im Early-Game leider absolut kaputt. Du musst im Grunde "durchsterben", Geld ansammeln und darauf hoffen, dass Neurona Games in den nächsten Tagen das Turnier-System endlich erweitert..Without the smaller leagues, the early game is unfortunately completely broken at the moment. You basically just have to "die your way through," stack up cash, and hope that Neurona Games finally expands the tournament system in the coming days. ❌ Finger weg! Ein "Manager", der dich zum hilflosen Zuschauer machtWertung: 2/10Ich weiß absolut nicht, was sich die Entwickler bei diesem Spiel gedacht haben. Wer hier ein taktisches Tiefengewicht oder echte Kontrolle über sein Team erwartet, wird komplett enttäuscht. Das Spiel fühlt sich eher an wie ein fehlerhafter Autobattler als ein echter Manager.Das größte Problem: Null manuelle KontrolleDu kannst deinen Spielern absolut keine direkten Befehle geben. Stattdessen klickt man auf irgendwelche dummen Buttons und hofft das Beste. Man kann weder Laufwege vernünftig bestimmen, noch manuell einstellen, wie weit ein Spieler laufen oder wann er einen Fake-Defuse machen soll.Die KI agiert wie ein Haufen NoobsDie In-Game-Simulation ist eine absolute Katastrophe und frustriert pur:Die Spieler rennen völlig planlos hin und her, statt einfach mal diszipliniert auf ihrer Position stehenzubleiben und diese zu halten.Utility-Management ist ein Witz: Smokes werden viel zu früh geworfen, ohne dass ein Timing dahintersteckt.Als Terrorists (T) werfen sie eine perfekte Smoke, pushen dann aber nicht durch, sondern warten stattdessen so lange dumm ab, bis die verdammte Smoke wieder weg ist. Taktisches Verständnis? Fehlanzeige.Völlig unfaires BalancingAls Krönung des Ganzen wirst du mit einem absoluten 0-Sterne-No-Name-Team direkt in Turniere geworfen, in denen du gegen absolute Top-Teams wie Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) und Co. fighten sollst. Wie soll man bitteschön mit unfähigen Spielern und ohne funktionierende Taktik-Kontrolle gegen die Weltelite gewinnen? Das Balancing ist komplett für die Tonne.Fazit:Dieses Spiel erzeugt nur Frust. Man schaut der eigenen KI im Grunde dabei zu, wie sie die dümmsten Fehler aneinanderreiht, ohne dass man als Manager in den entscheidenden Momenten eingreifen kann. Spart euch das Geld und die Nerven!
El juego es dentro de todo bastante simple, tiene mucho automatización que eso suma. El juego es estrategia de Counter-Strike literalmente, los mapas se llaman igual, los picks y baneos igual, etc. Pero definitivamente lo mas importante que tiene son las licencias de TODOS los equipos y jugadores reales. Queres jugar con 9z? Podes. Queres jugar con Kru? Podes. Queres jugar con FNATIC? Podes. Queres comprar a Donk? Podes. Queres comprar a Monkesy? Podes. Queres comprar a Jony Boy? Podes. Incluso si falta algún equipo, podes crearlo subiendo su logo y ya está. Entiendo que debe utilizar la base de datos de HLTV. Quizá lo que sucede es que una vez que le enganchas la vuelta termina siendo repetitivo, porque faltan mayor cantidad de jugadores, quizá que las cuestiones del idioma (o región como un sub atributo) afecte mas y de alguna manera mas profunda, no se, sumarle un poco mas de contenido. Es super comprable el juego por su precio y tiene bastante rejugabilidad.
