About the Game
CS Manager is a deep and tactical eSports manager game. Build your team around player roles, skills, and cohesion, then test yourself in an advanced match engine that will challenge your tactical understanding of the game. Only the best get to the top of the circuit!
Choose between more than 140 teams
From the most elite pros to the unorganized amateur leagues, choose your team and take them all the way
Option to create your own organization with your own nationality, and work your way up from the very bottom
Your choices and priorities are not limited to players, you must deal with staff, the expectations of your owner, finances, and much more!
Build your squad
Pure skill is not everything when signing players. For the best setup, you must take roles, maps and positions into consideration
Your team's cohesion will depend on each player's personality, the languages they can speak, and the decisions you make around them. The most resilient players can handle a tough schedule with lots of travel, while you must carefully plan your events and matches around others
Perfect your map pool
Watch your team in action on 8 different maps, each with its own characteristics and tactical quirks. Your timeouts and instructions are played out in real time, and your success depend on them
Choose your in-game-leader, sniper, the pace at which your team plays, how to attack and defend each site, and decide on many other tactical elements to optimize your teams approach
Mastering all maps at the same time is tough, prioritize depending on your teams abilities, and your players preferences
