About the Game
Teamfight Manager is back with more detailed tactics, management, and a new MOBA-style gameplay. Take charge of a virtual e-sports team, build the ultimate roster, and become the greatest manager!
· New Champions
Strategically utilize dozens of new champions alongside the existing ones from Teamfight Manager. Many existing champions have updated skills, so careful review is key to securing victory.
· Updated Map and Rules
The map and game rules have been revamped. Now, on a MOBA-style map, combine Top, Jungle, Mid, Bottom, and Support roles effectively to destroy the enemy’s Nexus first and claim victory. Showcase your managerial prowess with more refined team and individual tactics.
· Transfer System
Keep a close eye on solo rank matches and other teams’ games to recruit outstanding players. Each player has unique stats that significantly impact matches. Unlike the previous game, player stats now affect AI-driven decision-making and control rather than direct damage values, offering a more realistic player experience. Negotiate wisely to sign top players at lower costs for efficient team management.
· Workshop
Create and enjoy a variety of new champions, teams, players, maps, and even tournaments through the Workshop. Every season can feel fresh and exciting.
Beyond this, a wide range of content and improvements are ready to immerse you in the role of an e-sports manager.
During Early Access, we will provide consistent updates with new champions and incorporate your feedback to deliver new content, making Teamfight Manager an even better game.

Improvements
Made several fixes and improvements to the match engine.
Adjusted situations during the final siege where teams ignored opponents and attempted to end the match too aggressively. This behavior now triggers only when the team is focused on attacking structures and ending the match is almost certain.
Fixed Ninja and Pole Warrior using attacks or abilities that would be interrupted by their own ability animations, wasting cooldowns without any effect.
Fixed the AI underestimating the actual reach of abilities that hit a circular area in front, such as Hammerer's and Siege Breaker's second abilities, causing champions to approach closer than necessary before using them.
Fixed other minor bugs in decision formulas and behavior logic.
Bug Fixes
Fixed monthly Solo Rank ranking articles being published even when Solo Rank was disabled.
Fixed misalignment between table headings and player information columns on the individual training screen in Deathmatch.
Fixed custom league names not appearing in the titles and bodies of monthly Solo Rank articles.
Fixed Hunter not receiving an additional ultimate cast after using the ultimate twice, even when involved in an enemy takedown within the recast window. The English description now also clearly explains the conditions for the base recast and the additional cast from takedown participation.
Fixed sponsor offers being generated with attendance targets that exceeded the stadium's maximum capacity and could not be reached.
Fixed the previous player, next player, and close buttons not working on the Champion Training screen. The champion selection screen remains open when switching players.
Fixed match records and player statistics for some sets being missing from multi-set matches.
Fixed staff contract offers appearing to be accepted even when acceptance failed.
Fixed a save completion message appearing even when saving failed. A failure notice is now shown so you can try saving again.
Fixed champions affected by fear or charm selecting incorrect movement coordinates at the edge of the map.
Pythoness: Fixed the enemy-targeting projectile from her ultimate dealing physical damage based on Attack Damage. It now deals magic damage based on Ability Power as described.
Werewolf: Fixed the healing from Ability 1 not being applied. It now heals by the described proportion each time the ability deals damage.
Alchemist: Fixed Ability 1's healing reduction stacking up to 100%. It no longer stacks and remains at 50%.
Alchemist (Ability 1 and ultimate) and Nightmare (Ability 2): Fixed range adjustments not affecting the actual distances thrown, traveled, or dashed.
Fixed player contract expiration dates set in a custom database changing when starting a new game with that database.
Fixed previously developed merchandise being created again, causing repeated automatic restocking and production costs. Duplicate merchandise in existing saves is merged while preserving stock and sales history.
If you encounter any problems while playing, feel free to reach us at

Improvements
Other clubs will now more actively consider players on your release list as transfer targets.
Made general improvements to the match engine.
Applied several changes to help champions make more active use of their unique effects. This work is still in progress and will continue in future updates.
Fixed minor bugs and improved decision-making logic in various situations, including engagements, objectives, and sieges.
Fixed an issue where transfer fees and salaries in the default generated database still followed the old logic instead of the updated transfer market rules, causing a large gap between initial salaries and later transfer market calculations. To provide more flexibility under the revised transfer market formula, the amount of the total budget reserved for the salary budget has been reduced from three times the allocated salary budget to twice that amount.
In newly generated international tournaments, regular Swiss stage matches are now best-of-one, while matches that decide advancement or elimination are best-of-three. Tournaments that have already been generated retain their existing formats.
When a club changes leagues through promotion or relegation, Fan Expectations are now recalculated based on the starting lineup's strength in the new league. Already accepted manager objectives and previous evaluations remain unchanged.
If there are not enough starting players for a Practice Match, the match can proceed after you agree to automatic recruitment. A notice explains that this creates formal contracts and salary expenses. If you decline recruitment, that Practice Match is canceled.
Season Preview articles are now published after the transfer market closes and before the first match begins. Previously published articles remain unchanged.
Exorcist's skill description now specifies which crowd control effects the cleanse removes and that effects such as slows and poison are not removed.
Added a note explaining that the original club can re-sign free agents who have left its academy and that no development fee is charged in this case.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue that allowed merchandise for players on other teams to be produced and sold even when they were not on your roster. Further production and sales of merchandise for players no longer on the roster will stop; remaining stock can be cleared.
Fixed appointment anniversary and win milestone articles after a manager changed clubs using the previous club's appointment date and records from before the manager joined the current club. Also fixed milestones achieved at the new club being omitted because of articles from the previous club.
Fixed transferred players' update articles including records from their previous club. Newly generated articles calculate matches, average rating, and MVPs from official matches played for the current club in that year after the latest transfer.
Fixed the annual adjustment used to calculate salaries and transfer fees being applied twice in situations such as the first year transition after starting a game. Existing contract amounts remain unchanged.
Fixed academy establishment and expansion costs not being deducted from the Recruitment Budget.
Fixed team congratulations for the same career milestone repeating, or individual congratulations not appearing when a new milestone was later reached.
Fixed champion training promises in Messenger being treated as broken even when a champion had been assigned for training.
Fixed Priestess incorrectly evaluating her ultimate's healing and avoiding using it even when she could heal allies.
Fixed Pythoness's second skill not damaging enemies near the healed ally.
Fixed Monk's ultimate stacking its shield and movement speed increase on himself once for each ally in range.
Fixed the crowd control immunity from Ninja, Pole Warrior, and Inquisitor's dashes remaining until death when another effect interrupted the dash.
Fixed Executioner's increased damage taken debuff accumulating permanently.
Fixed the root from Dokkaebi's ultimate and the fear from Inquisitor's ultimate ignoring crowd control immunity and the reflection from Exorcist's skill.
Fixed Chef's healing skill applying the solo and multiple-ally healing values the wrong way around.

Hello, this is Team Samoyed.
Here are the latest patch notes.
New Features
Added a dedicated console layout for gamepad play. Screens have been redesigned with larger text and controller-friendly controls so you can comfortably play using only a gamepad on Steam Deck or in front of a TV.
Choose Auto, PC, or Console under Screen Layout in the System tab of Settings. Auto switches to the console layout when you use a gamepad and back to the PC layout when you use a mouse or keyboard. Steam Deck always uses the console layout.
Use tab groups (L1/R1) and menus (L2/R2) to navigate. Available button actions appear at the bottom of the screen, with support for Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Steam Deck button icons.
Rearranged Home, Inbox, Messenger, Squad, New Game, Settings, and the full matchday flow—from Today's Matches through lineup selection, drafting, the match, results, and set feedback—for the console layout.
Both the light and dark themes of the new UI are supported. An on-screen keyboard appears for text entry, or the Steam keyboard on Steam Deck.
Added a Solo Rank on/off setting to the Competition tab in New Game setup and Settings. It is also available in multiplayer league room settings.
Turning it off skips solo-rank match simulation and greatly reduces loading time when advancing the date. In a test of the same season on the development PC, the average time to advance one day during the season fell by about 65%, with even larger reductions on busy days such as the season opener.
The Solo Rank menu and screens, solo-rank standings in player information, and weekly solo-rank analysis reports disappear when it is off. Champion and item meta changes then rely only on official match results and may develop more slowly.
Solo Rank remains enabled until manager training ends. Existing saves keep it enabled, and re-enabling it during a game resumes solo-rank matches from the following day.
Added a salary-advance conversation to the squad messenger. Players aged 25 or younger whose weekly wage is at or below the team's median may ask for eight weeks of wages in advance after four weeks at the club.
Paying the full amount or half of it immediately deducts the payment from the club's balance. It is then repaid by withholding half of that player's weekly wage. Any unpaid amount is lost if the player leaves before fully repaying it.
Your response affects the player's trust, morale, loyalty, and stress. The same player can ask only once a year.
The captain is now marked with a C badge next to their name. It appears in the squad, the squad list in team information, player details, matchday lineup selection, drafting, in-match details and tactics, match results, award ceremonies, and championship celebrations.
Transfer Market Overhaul
Substantially revised and improved how the transfer market works.
AI clubs now plan their rosters across multiple seasons and make signings, sales, and contract renewals according to those plans. Each club aims to build the strongest team it can within its budget and income.
AI clubs now use the full management system, including changes to facility and academy levels.
Improved how transfer fees and salaries are determined and how negotiations progress. Clubs no longer refuse to sell a player at any price solely because that player is their only option. Each club assigns players an internal value based on its current situation, the player's ability, and its long-term plans, and will always agree to a transfer when an offer meets that value.
Fixed cases where clubs sold key players too cheaply or failed to replace them with strong players, severely weakening their teams.
Players now consider the club's level, playing opportunities, and salary when signing. Young prospects place greater importance on playing opportunities.
Fixed cases where very young players received or demanded excessively high salaries and transfer fees solely because of their high potential.
Rebalanced academy, facility, and other costs based on long-term playtesting.
Improvements
Reworked the scout's role. Each of the scout's three attributes now has a distinct purpose, and scouts provide their own assessments and market information about players they have observed.
Higher Ability Analysis improves the accuracy of current-ability assessments and increases the number of shortlisted players checked each week (2–6). When attributes are hidden, each observation also reveals more information.
Higher Potential Analysis improves assessments of future growth and identifies hidden tendencies that have not yet emerged. Low values can occasionally lead to large errors.
In addition to delegated negotiations, Negotiation determines the depth of market information. The club's willingness to sell is always available; a player's willingness to move is revealed at 35 or above, and negotiations with other clubs at 70 or above.
Growth potential and recommendations for players outside your club, as well as scouting assignment candidates, are determined by the scout's judgment. Assessments of the same player remain consistent and become more accurate with repeated observations. Even when player attributes are set to be visible, growth potential still depends on the scout's assessment and is unknown without a scout.
Scouts check shortlisted players in rotation each week. A Scout Watch Report arrives when something changes, such as the club's willingness to sell, a transfer, an approaching contract expiry, talks with another club, ability changes, or retirement. With hidden attributes enabled, each check also builds up information about the player.
Scouting reports now include the scout's assessment of a player's role in your team, strengths and weaknesses, hidden tendencies, and growth potential, as well as market information. Higher analysis attributes produce more detailed assessments.
In the scouting list, shortlist, and full player list, colored dots show the selling club's willingness as assessed by the scout: green means easy to sign, gray means a major offer may be considered, and red means not for sale. Hover over the growth-potential or recommendation columns, or the scout recommendation field in player details, to read the assessment.
Manager-initiated conversations in the squad messenger now have an effect only when there is a reason for them. You no longer need to fill a weekly conversation quota.
Praise during good form, encouragement and advice when tired or struggling, role discussions about playing-time concerns, and checking in about hidden worries can affect trust and morale. Without a relevant topic, the conversation is just a greeting.
Removed the rule that gradually returned trust to an average level after more than four weeks without a conversation. Trust now changes only through conversations and promises.
You can now change Manager career (Moves only / Moves & firing / Off) during a game from the Competition tab in Settings. This option is shown only in single-player.
Re-enabling it skips reviews and offers from the period when it was off and resumes from the current day.
It cannot be turned off immediately after agreeing to move to another club or while waiting for offers after being dismissed.
Performance Improvements
Improved save speed and file size. Greatly reduced the slowdown that accumulated with each year of a long-running game, and revised how match replay data—the largest part of saves—is stored. Matches involving your team remain available to replay, while other teams' matches are now replayable only for the most recent three years.
Improved frame rates in the new UI by fixing text calculations that were repeated from scratch every frame. This also reduces rendering work in the existing UI.
Reduced brief pauses when switching screens through the left menu. This applies to both the existing and new UI.
Greatly reduced pauses when opening Schedule, Statistics, and Recruitment. Fixed unnecessary rebuilding of hidden lists and tabs each time these screens opened.
Also reduced pauses when opening screens that first display player portraits, such as Messenger and Squad.
Fixed an issue on Windows where setting Frame Limit to 60 resulted in only about 30 frames per second. The game now renders at the configured limit, including when Vertical Sync is enabled.
Champion Adjustments
Fixed an issue where Gladiator's Trident Flurry rarely gained stacks because its combo duration was 4 seconds, equal to its cooldown. Combo duration: 4s → 8s. The combo now counts only champions, so hitting minions or jungle monsters with the same thrust no longer breaks an ongoing combo.
Ferryman — Lifeline Anchor: damage 140 → 190; cooldown 5s → 4.5s.
Ferryman — River of Souls: width 16 → 24; cooldown 8s → 7s.
Ferryman — Ferryboat: healing 400 → 650; cooldown 25s → 20s.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Ferryman's River of Souls sometimes affected allies and enemies across the entire map. It now affects only champions on the river, and Ferryman no longer targets itself when creating a river.
Fixed an issue where the movement-speed bonus for allies on Ferryman's River of Souls repeatedly doubled at short intervals. It now increases speed only by the amount stated in the description.
Fixed rare cases where Gladiator's Trident Flurry hit enemies across the entire map and Cast Net hit all surrounding enemies instead of a cone.
Fixed an issue where viewing match results immediately produced a different result from the match being watched.
Fixed an issue where staff were hired without final approval if they immediately accepted an offer.
Fixed an issue where an early contract extension ended before the existing contract.
Fixed an issue where a club rejected its own deal at the final approval stage after negotiations had been agreed.
Fixed an issue where a recruitment counteroffer could be lower than the preceding offer.
Fixed incorrect reply deadlines in the recruitment list.
Fixed various other minor transfer-market issues.
Fixed an issue where bench players asked for playing time through Messenger during the off-season transfer period, when there were no matches. Playing-time requests now arrive only if your team has an official match within two weeks, and champion-selection requests only if it has one within three weeks.
Fixed an issue where messages left in conversations with players who had left the team kept the Messenger unread count from clearing.
Fixed an issue where an unreadable custom database, whether saved in another version or corrupted, silently opened the default database instead and could be overwritten when saving in the database editor. The database editor and New Game screen now explain the issue, and the original file is kept separately in the same folder before saving.
Fixed an issue where the option description panel overlapped the last row of champion options in multiplayer league rooms when changing options or joining as a participant.

Match Engine Improvements
Adjusted how attributes affect the match engine. Rebalanced them so that each attribute has a similar value, and made their overall impact more noticeable.
Refined the flow of match chat. Players now mention a loss of focus after mistakes caused by low Focus, while players with low Mental complain during play and suffer attribute penalties. Also adjusted when chat appears to better explain the flow of the match, and added more lines for teamfights, solo kills, objective takedowns, and other situations.
Improved situations where players stopped chasing an enemy they could quickly defeat during a fight that began before a Morgard or Serpen takedown objective was established.
Decisions to disengage and focus on the objective under takedown-priority tactics now apply around that objective.
Improved the conditions for continuing an objective attempt. When a team judges that it is at too great a disadvantage, the AI is now more willing to stop attacking the objective and disperse instead of insisting on the attempt.
Improved decision-making during tower-dive engagements.
Improved the logic for deciding when to recall to buy items.
Improvements
Expanded Hunter's skill descriptions to explain when ranged basic attacks apply marks, how long marks last, how further hits refresh their duration, and how many marks are required for the second skill.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Exorcist did not use Purification on a crowd-controlled ally because the ally had enough health or had no attackable target nearby.
Exorcist can now also remove a root from itself regardless of whether an attackable target is nearby.
Fixed an issue where a target with Tenacity hit by Taoist's ultimate remained untargetable and kept the seal indicator after the incapacitation ended, and the effect spread to nearby targets later than intended.
Fixed an issue where a player signed a lower-salary offer from another club even though a higher-salary offer was awaiting final approval.
Fixed an issue where approving or rejecting a staff signing after editing the negotiation terms did not correctly apply the selected action.
The signing now completes using the terms that were actually agreed upon, even if edited terms remain in the form.
Fixed an issue where the Franchise Player achievement did not unlock when a player stayed at the same club for five years through successive contract renewals.
Existing saves now also recheck continuous service and award the achievement when its conditions are met.
Fixed an issue where an unreadable custom database saved in another version, such as a beta, silently opened the default database instead, allowing the original file to be overwritten when saving in the database editor.
The database editor and New Game screen now explain why the file cannot be opened, such as being saved in a newer version or being corrupted.
When saving, the original file is kept separately in the same folder and can be restored by loading it in the version that originally saved it.

Improvements
Improved performance when a large number of players had accumulated in scouting assignment results and processing the list caused the screen to slow down.
Adjusted the match engine to make tactics for taking down Morgard more distinct.
When tactics prioritize taking down Morgard, players focus more clearly on that objective even if a fight breaks out. With tactics that prioritize fighting, players now pay more attention to finishing off Morgard when its health is very low, instead of focusing only on the fight.
Also fixed various minor match engine bugs and improved lane pressure, decision-making during the laning phase, and skill timing.
Expanded Stable API support (ABI level 10). For details about the added APIs, see https://github.com/teamsamoyed/TeamfightManager2Mod.
You can specify usage and target conditions for each skill. The AI only uses that skill when its conditions are met.
You can increase a skill's range or change whether it can be used while moving based on the situation.
You can read each skill's cooldown and charge count, and reduce its cooldown by a specified amount of time.
You can create passives that trigger when killing minions or jungle monsters, and distinguish unit types.
You can inspect the players fielded by both teams during drafting and assign their positions directly after the picks.
You can change automatic balance patch settings and read each player's experience, CS, and self-healing from match records.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where players' cumulative records, including wins, losses, MVPs, and KDA, could differ from the actual match results after spectating a match.
When loading an existing save, recoverable player statistics are also corrected automatically if all of the relevant per-set match records are still available.
Fixed an issue where the fan count in Club Information included individual player fans, causing it to differ from the Fan Service screen.
Both screens now display the club's team fan count.
Fixed an issue where taking out a new bank loan increased the total balance without increasing the recruitment and payroll budgets.
Loan proceeds are now applied according to the existing budget allocation. Also fixed an issue where repaying a loan could reduce budgets by more than the amount actually repaid.
Fixed an issue where selecting the option to view results immediately while spectating could display a different outcome and records from the match being watched.
Fixed an issue in the laning test where players moved in front of an untargetable Relic and waited while towers were still standing.
Fixed an issue where overlapping crowd control effects could allow movement or skill use while Banished. Also fixed continued movement caused by knockbacks and similar effects during Banish.
Fixed an issue where the bottom of the item information list was cut off and could not be scrolled when using a mod with many items.
Fixed an issue where projectiles created by mod passives did not appear on the match screen.
Also fixed missing healing and gold gain numbers for mod passives.

Hello, this is Team Samoyed.
Here are the latest patch notes.
Improvements
Added a new champion, Gladiator. Gladiator is an AD melee fighter designed to lock a single enemy into a duel and cut off support from their allies.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/f68085388fab626567463ce54ecc1c927e90350b.png"]
Gladiator
Skill 1 (Cast Net): Throws a net in a cone in front of him, dealing physical damage and rooting enemies hit.
Skill 2 (Trident Flurry): Thrusts his trident forward, dealing physical damage. Hitting the same target repeatedly within a short time increases the damage of each successive hit. Hitting a different target resets the stacks.
Ultimate (Duel): Charges at an enemy champion, dealing physical damage and taunting them. The target cannot receive healing or new shields during the duel, and Gladiator takes reduced damage from enemies other than his target. The duel ends if the taunt is cleansed or the target is defeated.
Added a new champion, Ferryman. Ferryman is an AP support champion designed to rescue allies in danger by pulling them to safety and carrying them away.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/47ec94a1ea1e3f2dd6ed3cd1009e4a0bdd43cc80.png"]
Ferryman
Skill 1 (Lifeline Anchor): Throws an anchor in a straight line, hitting the first champion it reaches. Allies at 50% HP or below are pulled in front of him and gain movement speed; allies above that threshold are passed through. Enemies take magic damage and are slowed.
Skill 2 (River of Souls): Creates a waterway in front of him that lasts for a set time. Allies on the waterway gain movement speed, while enemies are slowed.
Ultimate (Ferryboat): Cleanses one allied champion at 40% HP or below, takes them aboard, and carries them toward the allied base. While aboard, the ally is untargetable, cannot act, and is immune to movement control. On disembarking, they recover HP and briefly gain movement speed.
Added a new champion, Bombardier. Bombardier is an AD ranged champion designed to trade mobility for greatly increased range and firepower by deploying a cannon.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/be278a94eb3b2fe22340aaa396c11c1cfdfa4835.png"]
Bombardier
Skill 1 (Deploy Cannon): Deploys or retracts the cannon. While deployed, Bombardier cannot move, but gains attack damage and increased range for basic attacks and Skill 2. Retracting the cannon briefly increases movement speed.
Skill 2 (Lobbed Shell): Fires a shell at a target location, dealing physical damage and slowing enemies in the area. Its range increases while the cannon is deployed.
Ultimate (Carpet Bombardment): Rains down successive shells on a target area, dealing physical damage to enemies within it. Its range increases further while the cannon is deployed. Being crowd-controlled while firing interrupts the remaining bombardment.
Added a new champion, Hypnotist. Hypnotist is an AP mage designed to put enemies to sleep with the new crowd-control effect, Sleep.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/f920f8af4f31efc1fb1ea7a0a3055208e3df3d4b.png"]
Hypnotist
Skill 1 (Pendulum Arc): Launches a piercing pendulum that deals magic damage and slows enemies. This damage does not wake sleeping enemies.
Skill 2 (Suggestion of Sleep): After a short delay, hypnotizes enemies in a target area, putting them to sleep. Sleeping enemies cannot move or act. Any damage, including damage over time, wakes them, and the first hit that wakes them deals increased damage.
Ultimate (Mass Hypnosis): After a short delay, hypnotizes all enemies in a large area, putting them to sleep. The first hit that wakes them deals greatly increased damage. Cleansing removes both Sleep and the damage increase.
Added the following player trait.
Prefers Invading the Enemy Jungle: Players with this trait prefer invading the enemy jungle when they gain lane priority.
Added new UI styles. Under Settings → System → UI Style, you can choose Classic, New (Light), or New (Dark). The Classic UI retains its existing appearance; the following improvements apply to the new UI.
Organized the left menu into six groups: Today, Team, Competitions, Market, Club, and Resources. The top title bar brings together the current screen, season phase, date, and advance button. The advance button shows what needs attention next, such as unread news, news requiring a response, or today's match.
The home screen now provides an overview of a weekly board showing the last match and the next seven days starting today; tasks ordered by urgency, including news nearing its response deadline, matches within a week, expiring contracts, stamina and stress warnings, and vacant sponsor slots; league standings and season records; and a financial summary.
Use the name search at the top of the left menu or press F to find and jump directly to menus, players, teams, and staff. Shortcuts are shown next to menu entries, and new shortcuts are available for Home, Academy, Sponsors, and Fan Service. The mouse back and forward buttons navigate between previously visited screens.
Player details show a grade (S–D) for each stat and a bar indicating the player's standing among players in the same league and position. You can also check strengths and weaknesses, effective match stats reflecting condition and stamina, stress, the reasons for changes in status, and position and language training progress.
Switch the squad table between match records and status/contracts views, and sort by stamina, condition, stress, or remaining contract length. The coaching staff list lets you compare each coach's three main stats and contract expiry date.
Added title/sender search, year/month filters, and a view showing only news requiring a response to the inbox, and redesigned news articles.
The pick/ban screen is highlighted only during your turn. The champion information row now shows roles, stats by level, and patch buffs and nerfs together.
In Game Information, the champion list can be filtered by role, position, or tier, searched by name, and sorted by name or tier. In individual training, use A/D to move to the previous/next player. Scrim invitations also show your team's schedule for that week.
Irreversible actions, such as deleting an entire list or releasing a player, now show a confirmation explaining what will be lost. All text has been enlarged to at least 18px for easier reading.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/722db42e50271395abfd445a0019b1d7ebf7a466.png"]
Home screen in the new light UI
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/b68004d59072413745ee9c33b7be45bcadb48077.png"]
Player details in the new dark UI
Added a squad messenger. Open Messenger in the left menu to have one-to-one conversations with players and view the squad group chat. The menu shows the number of unread messages.
Players will message you when something is on their mind. There are ten situations: playing time, contract renewal, fatigue, settling into the team, champion selection, transfer rumors, a decision to retire, reaching a milestone, blaming themselves for a loss, and greetings on joining the team.
Replies are due within two days, or one day for transfer rumors. The inbox reminds you on the final day. Ignoring a message lowers the player's trust, and reading it without replying causes a larger decrease.
Some replies include a promise. Promises are automatically evaluated based on actual actions, such as playing time, renewal offers, rest/language training ratios, champion selection/training assignments, or whether a transfer happens. Keeping a promise greatly raises trust; breaking one lowers it by an even larger amount.
Promises about playing time and champion selection also appear as badges on official match screens. In the starting lineup, the remaining deadline appears beside the promised player's name. The pick/ban player slots and champion list, as well as the swap screen, show the promised champion. Badges turn orange with three days or less remaining, and fill in when you assign the promised champion to that player on the swap screen.
Managers can also start a conversation. Choose from praise, encouragement, advice, discussing a role, or asking how the player is doing. You can initiate up to three conversations per week, with a limit of one per player per week. Responses depend on the player's recent performance and condition.
Players chat in the group when the team goes on a winning or losing streak, when arguments follow a loss, when a new player joins, when the team wins a title, or when a milestone is reached. Managers can intervene during streaks and arguments.
Each player's trust and the team atmosphere affect loyalty, stress, and morale every week. They do not directly affect match stats.

Added regular league reports to the inbox.
Every Monday, you receive a recap of the previous week (results, standings, and Player of the Week) and a briefing on the coming week (opponents and contract/roster deadlines).
During the season, individual award race updates arrive every two weeks. A season preview arrives just before the season starts, and a review of your team's season arrives after it ends.
A transfer window recap arrives when the window closes; news about notable players who retired in the previous year arrives on New Year's Day; and regional solo-rank standings arrive on the first day of each month.

Weekly league recap
Added news articles about players and managers to the inbox.
Articles cover career milestones for sets played, wins, kills, and Set MVP awards; retirement; updates on players who have left for another team; and matches against a former team.
Articles also cover managers' career win milestones and anniversaries of taking charge.
News articles announce new league records: most kills in one set, most team kills in one set, fastest win, longest match, and highest rating in one set.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/e3e974f3e1fd3baa3bfaeb8863f11b1ad1af01cb.png"]
Career milestone article
Added three inbox decision events. You can decide how to prepare for a player's retirement, manage a player ahead of a match against their former team, or celebrate a milestone.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/dae9cc195c3a9446879508b59c5b602cbb4d324a.png"]
Retirement preparation decision event
Added Manager career. Managers now have reputation (0–100), and can move to other clubs or be fired based on results. Manager careers are available only in single-player.
When starting a new game, choose Manager career (Moves only / Moves & firing / Off) and Start (Chosen team / Unknown / Expansion). Unknown managers choose one of three random second-division clubs and start with 5 reputation. Expansion starts at a new second-division club with an empty squad. Existing saves use Moves only, with reputation determined by titles and season records since taking charge.
Added a general manager conversation to the messenger. At the start of a transfer period, the general manager asks you to choose a season target: win the title, reach the final, reach the playoffs, or finish in the top eight. At the end of the season, you are evaluated against that target. Meeting it raises reputation; falling far short results in a warning. With Moves & firing enabled, three warnings lead to dismissal, after which you move to one of the clubs offering you a position.
As your reputation rises, other clubs with vacant managerial positions send offers. Accepting an offer moves you to that club the next day, and another manager takes over the club you leave. Offers also prompt reactions in the squad group chat.
Added manager salaries. Salary is determined by reputation and club size, paid weekly by the club, and supplemented by bonuses for meeting targets, winning titles, and international results. You can request a raise when receiving an offer or renewing your contract, in exchange for a season target one level higher next season. Taking a lower salary increases the club's transfer budget by the corresponding amount.
When your contract is nearing expiry, the general manager offers a renewal on the season evaluation day. Larger clubs may also approach you.
Managers at other clubs are evaluated in the same way and can be fired or take new jobs. Managerial changes in the same region are reported in news articles.
Choosing strong statements in pre-match or post-match interviews raises or lowers your reputation according to the result of your next official match.
Added a Manager tab to Records. View your career, including reputation, salary and contract, titles, clubs managed, and season evaluations, as well as manager reputation rankings.

Manager careers and reputation rankings in Records
Added year-end events. After Champions concludes, the All-Star match and Hall of Fame induction ceremony take place at the end of the year.
Fan voting selects one player per position for the East (Korea, China, and Japan) and West All-Star teams, which play one actual match. If your team has a nominee, you can choose how to encourage voting. Having a player selected increases your team's fans and the player's morale.
Each year, up to three retired players with an induction score of at least 60 enter the Hall of Fame. You can attend the ceremony, and your club gains fans if a former player is inducted. The Hall of Fame tab in Records shows inductees by year and All-Star results.
Added a club hall of fame to Team History. Players qualify by playing at least 100 sets for the club, or by winning a title and playing at least 30 sets. Holding a grand farewell in the retirement preparation decision event honors that player at the club.

Hall of Fame and All-Star records
Added an Academy League. Academies with at least two trainees play regional league matches every Wednesday, with a champion and Season MVP selected for each first-half and second-half season. The Academy screen shows the standings and recent matches.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/1ff915bf8542be33ca15495e5aaf49c2e6f73b62.png"]
Academy League standings and warning signs of trainee departures
Changed the rules for academy trainees leaving.
Trainees no longer leave without warning. If morale drops below 35, you receive news that they may leave. They may leave the academy if morale does not recover to at least 45 within 14 days.
Departing trainees become free agents instead of retiring. If they sign with another club within one year, that club pays training compensation to their original academy club.
Added rivalries.
Meetings in the same competition, series that go the full distance, encounters in playoffs/finals/promotion-relegation matches, direct transfers of star players, and manager moves increase the heat between two teams. Heat cools at the turn of each year.
The opponent with the highest heat becomes your derby rival if the heat is at least 25. Derby days bring preview articles and group chat conversations, as well as increased home attendance and fan movement.
Rival Teams in Team Information now sorts teams by heat and displays the heat level.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/d242e05c3927f42993a41d3d8edb1376b20d4b99.png"]
Rival teams and heat
Added captains and player reputation.
You can appoint a captain in a player conversation in the messenger, and change captains once every 30 days. The captain speaks first in the group chat. Trust in the captain affects the baseline toward which the team atmosphere returns, and you can ask the captain to handle disputes between players.
Player details show six reputation levels: Rookie, Rising, Established, Star, Superstar, and Legend. Reputation is determined by career sets, individual awards, and popularity. Players rated Star or higher speak differently in the messenger.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45467379/2c20c284c829658edad756f3c92b367e5bbe547c.png"]
Reputation displayed beside player names
The Ego stat is shown again as a personality stat for the squad messenger. Ego does not affect matches. It is visible in player details, player information popups, player comparisons, individual training, scouting filters, and database editing.
Players with Ego of at least 70 blame teammates in the group chat after a loss, causing arguments. When handling a dispute as captain, they take sides. They also speak bluntly about playing time, renewal, and transfer rumors.
Players with Ego of at least 60 push back against the manager's advice when they are in poor form.
Added player overall ratings (OVR). A single number shows the average of the ability stats used in the current mode, making player levels easy to compare at a glance. OVR is shown in both the Classic and new UI.
OVR appears in player details, information popups, squad tables, recruitment lists, other teams' squads, player comparisons, and both starting lineups on match day. Squad tables and recruitment lists can be sorted by OVR.
If Player Stats Visibility is set to Hidden in new-game options, other teams' players show an OVR range based on what you know, or '-' if you know nothing.
The Academy's Current Ability value has been replaced by OVR calculated on the same basis.

Added Help. You can revisit explanations of screens and features at any time after manager training, in both the Classic and new UI.
Open it with the question mark (?) button or the shortcut (I by default). In the new UI, the button sits to the left of the gear button at the top; in the Classic UI, it sits to the left of the power-shaped button at the bottom. The final manager training guidance points it out.
Help opens with an explanation of the current screen. Choose from 26 topics in the left list, covering gameplay basics, the yearly cycle, match day, manager careers, contract negotiations, and individual menu screens.

Bug Fixes
Fixed broken text formatting in the Taoist's ultimate description in Brazilian Portuguese.
Fixed column headers appearing misaligned with values in player tables, including squad lists, recruitment lists, and starting lineups.
Fixed player ages wrapping onto two lines and being partly hidden in Classic UI player details in English and some other languages.
Fixed the focus border not appearing when using a gamepad to select a scrollable reading area, such as Recent Events in Fan Service.

Improvements
Free agents (FA) can now be signed outside the transfer window.
Rosters are locked from seven days before each split's playoffs until the end of that season's international tournament. Free agents cannot be signed during this period.
News items will notify you seven days before the roster lock and on the day it begins.
FA negotiations outside the transfer window cannot be delegated to a scout.
Offers and acceptances sent on transfer deadline day will now always receive a response before the window closes.
From the day before the deadline, the negotiation window will indicate that the current response is the final negotiation of the transfer window.
Just before the deadline, at 23:50 on the final day, new offers and acceptances that cannot receive a response in time are disabled.
Fixed an issue where negotiations due to be processed immediately after the deadline were postponed instead of being completed.
Added a button to instantly complete the remaining Ban/Pick phase when it has been delegated to the head coach.
This button cannot be used in matches against another player.
Champion tier-list delegation to the analyst is now a toggle. When enabled, the tier list updates automatically every day.
Added an option to delegate merchandise inventory management.
When stock falls to around seven days of projected sales or less, merchandise is automatically produced to bring it up to 30 days of projected sales. Production is skipped if the club cannot afford it.
Redesigned the All-Pro tab in Records and the All-Pro announcement and reward news as cards displaying player portraits, team logos and position icons.
Added a Yearly Records tab to Records.
Use a single selector to choose a league or international tournament and view each season's champions, runners-up, MVP, highest-rated player, and leaders in kills, assists and solo kills in one table.
Adjusted fan gains from All-Pro selections and individual season awards.
Players who already have many fans now gain fans more gradually from awards.
Halved the fan bonus for All-Pro selections. (First Team: 20% → 10%, Second Team: 12% → 6%, Third Team: 7% → 3%.)
These changes also apply to existing saves. Values manually changed in the database editor are preserved.
Added a minimum movement speed so that stacking multiple slows cannot reduce movement speed below 40% of its original value.
The slow effect of an individual skill is unchanged.
Added a Free Agents (FA) entry for each league region to the database editor's team list.
You can edit, add and remove players and coaches who do not belong to a team.
Removing an existing free agent from an ongoing save retires them to preserve their match records.
Made scrollbars easier to grab.
Expanded the draggable area and added a minimum thumb length so that the scrollbar does not become too short.
Clicking an empty part of the scrollbar now jumps directly to that position.
Improved name generation for new players. After all default nicknames have been used, names are drawn from an English word dictionary; once those words are exhausted, two-word names are generated.
Added player position icons to the player fan-count list in MOBA mode's club information.
Made changes and improvements to the match engine.
Combined the objective standoff and objective-killing tactics because their roles overlapped and their behavior was difficult to distinguish. The differences between tactics are now clearer.
Clarified the differences between grouping and split-push tactics and improved lane management.
Improved the overall distinction between different tactics.
Fixed some cases where champions did not recall when they needed to buy items.
Fixed several intermittent issues with reactions to fights and coordinated team movement.
Fixed various minor movement issues throughout the match engine.
Optimized simulation performance, reducing simulation time by approximately 24% in the test environment: from 0.45 seconds to 0.345 seconds per simulated minute of game time.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the tooltip above the delegation button was missing when there was no scout available to handle negotiations.
Fixed an issue where the Delegated label was missing from scout contract-list negotiations assigned to a scout.
Fixed an issue where the database editor displayed Shotcalling, Roaming, Aggression and Ego stats, which are no longer used in MOBA mode after the introduction of the trait system.
Fixed an issue where banned champion icons overflowed their display area in the recent match list when there were four or five bans.
Fixed an issue where accepting or rejecting a player's counteroffer had no effect after editing the salary during contract negotiations.
Fixed an issue where contract renewal negotiations did not progress outside the transfer window in some existing saves.
Fixed an issue where amounts or options being edited during negotiations to transfer a player to another club were saved to the wrong club's negotiation.
Fixed an issue where clicking the names of legendary players or rival clubs on the club information and other club details screens did not open their details.
Fixed an issue where Dancer's chakram stacks continued to increase beyond their limit, also increasing the damage of her first skill.
Fixed an issue where news warned of a shortage of players in specific positions in Deathmatch and Single Lane modes.
Also fixed an issue in MOBA mode where having an academy trainee prevented the shortage warning from appearing even when there was no first-team player in that position.
Fixed an issue where academy trainees received transfer offers intended for regular players, which could not be processed correctly when accepted or negotiated.
Fixed an issue where the Response Required label sat at the bottom of news list entries, and centered the text.
Fixed an issue where a long competition name for the next match on the home screen left a single character wrapped onto the next line.

Improved some of the AI's combat decisions in the match engine.

Improved match ratings and MVP selection criteria in MOBA mode.

Hello, this is Team Samoyed.
Here are the latest patch notes.
Improvements
Added Set Feedback. In MOBA matches in single-player and multiplayer leagues, you can give players feedback in the locker room after a set if another set remains.
You can instruct up to 3 players to play "More aggressive" or "More defensive." This changes the corresponding tendency, and the instructed playstyle takes effect in the next set.
You can review scenes of joining fights and ganking lanes, grouped by player, and select "Good" or "Don't" to strengthen or reduce the corresponding tendency.
Choosing "Encourage without feedback" instead of individual feedback increases the Condition of every player who played in the current set by 5.
Added the Player Traits system. Aggressive Playstyle, Defensive Playstyle, Fight Joining, and Lane Ganking affect players' decisions and actions in MOBA matches.
Changing tendencies through Set Feedback can activate or deactivate traits. Once a trait is active, increasing its value does not make its effect in matches stronger.
You can view active traits in player information, as well as tendency values for players on your own team. Scouting also lets you search for players with the traits you want.
Lane Ganking applies to laners and supports.
We aim to expand the selection of player traits further in 0.7.0.
Added All-Pro teams by position. At the end of the regular season, the top three players in each position (Top, Jungle, Mid, Bottom, and Support) are selected for the First, Second, and Third Teams.
Rewards: Selected players gain fans and Morale. Their clubs receive bonus prize money for each selected player equal to a percentage of the league championship prize (First Team: 5%; Second Team: 3%; Third Team: 1.5%), and also gain club fans. When a player from your club is selected, a separate news item details each player's prize money and fan gains.
Reviewing records: A new "All-Pro" tab under Records lets you view Spring/Summer selections by year, region, and league. The player history tab records All-Pro selections (position, rating, win rate, prize money, and fan gains), while team history records the number of All-Pro players produced each season.
Selections take place across all leagues, including AI clubs, starting with seasons whose regular season ends in this version or later. Past seasons in older saves are shown as having no records.
Adjusted the youth academy based on beta feedback.
The academy's starting tier now reflects the team's facility level. Previously, every team started without an academy and had to upgrade it from scratch.
Improved the growth curve for trainees.
Trainee Morale now responds to facility tier, recent scrim results, stalled growth, and stress. Hovering over the Morale label shows its components. The trainee list shows cumulative growth since joining.
Training reports now show progress toward the next attribute increase for the 3 players closest to it.
Adjusted fan numbers.
Increased fan gains for individual award winners.
Clubs now gain new fans for winning, finishing as runners-up, or placing among the top finishers in leagues and international tournaments, with notifications in the inbox.
Increased the weight of performance when calculating sponsor offer tiers, and added bonuses for qualifying for or winning international tournaments. The sponsor screen now shows the tier score breakdown and progress toward international tournament conditions.
Adjusted the transfer market.
The limit on transfer offers for players at the user's club now applies per player instead of per team. This resolves the issue where only one offer arrived every 3 days even with multiple players on the transfer list.
The restriction on reselling recently signed players has been shortened from 270 days to the same transfer window.
Added "5 bans (3/2)" to the ban count settings. Instead of banning all 5 at once, both teams ban 3 champions each and pick 3 each, then ban another 2 each and pick their remaining 2.
Adjusted champions.
Corrected Harpooner's skill hit detection radius and projectile launch positions, and adjusted the cone angle of the ultimate.
Improved the match engine.
Reduced situations where the team in the lead delays finishing a match it could end. Advancing on the Nexus is now prioritized when a winning opportunity is available.
Reduced indecisive wandering under towers and pointless pursuit of enemies that cannot be caught.
Improved decisions about when to use immortality, shield, and buff skills.
Added gamepad support.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where Strongman's Skill 2 (Barbell Swing) and Spellbreaker's ultimate (Grand Shatter) were used on empty space, or used once beside an allied tower and then never used again. Both skills are now defined as area-of-effect skills centered on the caster and are only used when enemies are in range.
Fixed Siege Breaker's Skill 1 bonus damage to structures being displayed and applied as 0% in older saves. This value can also be changed in Database Edit.
Fixed rematch-avoidance pairing updates in Challengers Swiss matches not taking effect on the actual match day. Also fixed an issue where View Match Result Immediately could show results from the previous pairings after the pairings changed.
Fixed the missing seeding draw notification on the season's opening day when the first transfer window had been skipped.
Fixed previous-season placement bonuses being paid again during season settlement, or fan expectations being overwritten with results from an earlier season.
Fixed fans gained through inbox decision events being lost again at the end of the season.
Fixed clubs with no fans earning sponsor bonuses for fan growth without actually gaining any fans.
Fixed training facility, stadium, and merchandise production facility expansions proceeding without enough cash, or their costs not appearing in financial records. Merchandise production facility costs and cost reduction rates in custom databases now also display correctly.
Fixed the finance screen's "At this rate, funds will run out in approximately N months" warning appearing much earlier than it should because one-time costs already paid, such as facility expansions, were counted as recurring monthly expenses. It now uses only projected expenses and income for the remaining period.
Fixed AI clubs exceeding the promotion quota when promoting academy players in succession.
Fixed "Core Player" being incorrectly shown as the reason for refusing to sell a recently signed player.
Fixed contracts with staff from other clubs being finalized without enough funds to compensate for the remaining contract. Contract acceptance now uses the current offer, and both clubs' balances and news update immediately after the signing.
Fixed a one-year delay in counting staff members' time as free agents after their contracts expired, which delayed retirement checks.
Fixed progress getting stuck or the game closing when switching screens or going back during tutorial dialogue.
Fixed non-host participants being able to change shared settings in multiplayer depending on the reconnection order or the host disconnecting.
Fixed localization key names appearing instead of instructions on the lineup waiting screen while spectating in multiplayer.
Fixed champions added by champion packs or individual champion mods being missing from champion selection in multiplayer leagues and friendlies, or selected champions being excluded.
Fixed awards ceremony dialogue appearing as localization key strings.
Fixed group names in international tournament draw news appearing in English (Group A) even when playing in Korean.
Fixed the last row of the participating player list in fan service being cut off, and overlapping two-line text in the academy development policy list and bank/club value item names in languages with long labels.
Fixed the last sponsor offer being inaccessible when there were many offers, and long payment or bonus text overflowing the cards.
Fixed incorrect values, targets, and ages in some languages, visible formatting tags in text, and missing arrows on the finance screen.

In your Steam Library, right-click Teamfight Manager 2 - Properties - Betas, then select the version you want and play; the game will run on that version.
Improvements
Players now gradually improve the language of their team's region simply by living there. Previously, it only rose if you assigned language training in a player's personal training plan.
Living there alone raises it only as far as two stars; above that it still rises through training only, as before. Players without a team are not affected.
A '0' option has been added for the number of additional champions. No new champions are added even when a major patch arrives, so you can keep playing with exactly the champion lineup you set at the start.
It can be selected on the new game screen, in the in-game settings, and in multiplayer room settings.
Expanded the coverage of the Stable API. For details on the newly added APIs, see https://github.com/teamsamoyed/TeamfightManager2Mod.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where unnecessary warnings filled up the log during Solo Rank cleanup. The logs you send us when reporting a problem will now retain the content actually needed to identify the cause.
Fixed an issue where re-sign negotiations stalled in a waiting-for-response state and the contract expired. If you left the negotiation window open and looked around, the values being edited masked the previous offer, so negotiations past their deadline were never processed. This also resolves the issue where the News inbox skipped to an outdated contract item in that state.
Fixed an issue where the salary budget set on the finance screen reverted to its previous value the next day. An income-based budget adjustment that should apply only to AI clubs was being applied to the player's club every day as well.
Fixed an issue where classic SDK mods built for an earlier version were loaded instead of being rejected. Because the internal data structures changed in 0.5.7, these mods read the wrong locations and could cause an abnormal termination at startup. They are now blocked from loading, with a notice that the version does not match. Those mods must be rebuilt with the new SDK. Stable ABI mods are unaffected.
Fixed an issue in multiplayer where loading grew slower and slower for participants other than the host. The state transfer rate was fixed at 256KB/s regardless of connection quality, so loading times grew directly with the size of the save.
Fixed an issue where the initial stats of modded champions were not displayed. The initial-value tab showed the same figures as the current values and the increase/decrease highlight colors were missing; this has been fixed both on the champion info screen and on the in-match champion panel.
Fixed an issue where edits to coaching staff contracts in the database editor were not applied. The edits were saved, but salary, contract length and similar values were not carried into the game; player contract edits worked correctly.
Fixed an issue where edits to negative values in the database editor were not applied. Skill values stored as negatives, such as movement speed reduction, stayed unchanged after editing.
Fixed an issue where no fan reaction news appeared at all on days you won a match. Negative fan news, which is only shown on a loss, did not appear on screen yet still masked the positive news for the same date, so both vanished.
Fixed an issue where replays of 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 matches played out differently from the actual match. The format determined by the match rules was not reflected in replays alone, so they were always recalculated on a 5v5 basis, changing monster spawns and the extent of the match.
Fixed an issue where transfers deadlocked because a club sold a starter and then never signed a replacement. Selling a starter blocks further sales until a replacement is signed, but the club's plan did not schedule that replacement signing, so the position was never released. Clubs now prioritize signings that fill the empty slot.
Fixed a bug where the player AI in the match engine did not correctly calculate some skill effects. Cases where it mistook Skill 2's effect for Skill 1's, or mixed Skill 1's effect with Skill 2's range, meant each skill's effects were confused at the decision level; these are now taken into account correctly.

Hello. This is Team Samoyed.
We'd like to share the details of this patch.
A new champion, ‘Strongman’, has been added. Strongman is designed as an AD-based tanky initiator.
Skill 1 (Shoulder Throw): Grabs one nearby enemy and throws them over the shoulder behind himself, dealing physical damage and stunning them.
Skill 2 (Barbell Swing): Swings a barbell in a wide arc, dealing physical damage to surrounding enemies and knocking them back.
Ultimate (Human Cannonball): Throws one nearby allied champion to a target location. The thrown ally gains a shield for a short time after landing, and enemies around the landing point take physical damage and are stunned. If there is no ally to throw, Strongman leaps himself.

A new champion, ‘Spellbreaker’, has been added. Spellbreaker is designed as a melee fighter who counters shields.
Skill 1 (Greatsword Sweep): Slashes widely in front, dealing physical damage and slowing for a short time.
Skill 2 (Shattering Charge): Charges a short distance, dealing physical damage to the first enemy hit. After the charge, damage taken is reduced for a short time.
Ultimate (Grand Shatter): Instantly destroys the shields of all enemies within the surrounding area. Enemies whose shields are destroyed take magic damage, are stunned, and cannot gain shields for a short time. Enemies who had no shield take only reduced magic damage.

A new champion, ‘Astrologer’, has been added. Astrologer is designed as an AP-based area-of-effect mage.
Skill 1 (Meteor Fall): Drops a meteor on a target location after a short delay, dealing magic damage to enemies in the area and reducing their movement speed.
Skill 2 (Constellation Link): Deals magic damage to enemies in a straight line and leaves a constellation mark on them.
Ultimate (Celestial Alignment): Draws a constellation over a target area, marking all enemies within it, then detonates the marks simultaneously after a short delay to deal magic damage. The more enemies linked, the greater the damage, and enemies already marked by Skill 2 take additional damage.

A new champion, ‘Harpooner’, has been added. Harpooner is designed as an AD-based ranged crowd-control champion.
Skill 1 (Harpoon Shot): Fires a harpoon in a straight line, dealing physical damage to the first enemy champion hit. For a short time after the hit, it can be reactivated to pull yourself to the target or drag the target toward you.
Skill 2 (Piercing Shot): Fires a powerful harpoon in a straight line, dealing physical damage to the first enemy hit. The more health the target has lost, the greater the damage.
Ultimate (Surging Chains): Fires multiple chained harpoons in a forward cone, dealing physical damage to enemies hit and binding them in chains for a short time. Bound enemies have reduced movement speed, and if they move beyond a certain distance from each other the chains tighten, strengthening the slow and pulling them toward one another.

A championship celebration sequence has been added to make winning a title feel more immersive.
A sponsor system has been added. Sponsor offers of various kinds arrive depending on your team's standing, and meeting their conditions earns you additional operating funds.
A youth academy has been added. It is a long-term development facility where you scout young prospects yourself and raise them over several years; like other team facilities, it can be expanded up to grade S to increase capacity and development speed.
Tryouts: Held on March 1 and September 1 each year, gathering prospect candidates aged 13 to 17. The more capable your scouts, the more candidates appear and the more accurate the potential estimates become, and if none of the candidates appeal to you, you can pay a fee to gather a new set.
Development: Trainees grow every Wednesday, separately from first-team training. Growth speed depends on facility grade, training coach, development focus and condition, and the development focus can be set for the whole team and for each trainee individually. With two or more trainees, your academy plays weekly scrims against other clubs' academies.
Exits: From age 16 a trainee can be promoted to the first team, and if another club offers a transfer fee you can sell them for funds instead. A trainee who passes age 20 without being promoted leaves the team as a free agent.
AI teams run academies as well. The more players who come up from academies to first teams, the fewer new prospects are generated in that region, so youth development replaces part of the existing rookie supply route.
Fan service has been added. You can set the ticket pricing policy for home matches to standard, cheap or premium, and hold fan signing events and fan meetings to grow your fanbase and raise fan satisfaction. You choose which players attend each event; participating players gain morale but also gain stress.
A bank and club value have been added. Entering the bank from the finance screen shows your club value, which combines your squad, facilities, fans and cash, and you can take out a loan up to a set proportion of that value. Loan funds are reflected in your transfer and wage budgets immediately, principal and interest are repaid automatically every Monday, and if you have room to spare you can repay early to save the remaining interest.
Manager training now covers the new management content. The finance lesson has been expanded with explanations of the bank and club value, and you now learn sponsors after finance, the academy after coaching staff, and fan service after facilities.
An awards ceremony has been added. When a tournament you took part in ends, an invitation to the awards ceremony arrives, and attending runs the award stage for the winner, the runner-up and the individual awards (MVP, Best Rating, Most Kills, Most Assists, Most Solo Kills). Once the ceremony ends, a result report is delivered to your News inbox.
Individual award winners gain fans. The amount gained differs by category, and sweeping several categories increases it accordingly.
Individual awards have been added to international tournaments as well. News announcing the individual awards is delivered after the tournament ends, and international tournament awards increase fans by a larger margin than league awards.
Players' award histories are now recorded. You can check past awards and the fan gains at the time on the History tab of a player's detail view.
Improved the match result screen so that items, CS and damage types are displayed.
The basic macro flow of the match engine has been changed.
Previously, teams focused too heavily on simply taking an objective whenever one was up, which tended to make matches play out in a monotonous way. This has been improved so that the side starting an objective only commits when it judges it can secure the objective even by starting first, and the side responding also gathers its members properly and sets up a formation before contesting it.
Adjusted the logic for mid- and late-game lane management so that supports are far less likely to be caught out pushing a lane deep on their own.
Fixed general display errors in News inbox content.
You can participate in the beta program by right-clicking Teamfight Manager 2 in your Steam Library, selecting Properties > Betas, choosing “beta,” and then playing the game.
The beta program updates in-development content frequently. Therefore, the version may be unstable, Mods may not work properly, and when using existing save files, those save files may not be compatible until the official build is updated.
We would appreciate your feedback on the beta program via
or the official Discord channel (
