About game
As the coach in Esports Simulator: Road to the Major, you lead a squad of five players. The game plays out automatically, but you control the outcome: selecting offensive or defensive strategies before each round, managing team purchases, and calling timeouts when needed to turn the tide.
In between matches, you focus on building your career: training, fostering team chemistry, handling pressure, and nurturing relationships. Transfers and club dynamics play a key role. Your opponents adapt too; repeat a tactic and they'll start predicting it.
The game features six leagues, from open qualifiers to the major. There are three maps with unique layouts and entry points. Face off against 15 rival teams, each with its own playstyle. Choose from 12 weapons, manage round economy, utilise strategic tools, and pull off clutch plays. Achieve 22 milestones and earn a place in the hall of fame for completed careers.
How to play
No keyboard required — just use your mouse or touch screen. Before the round starts, you'll be dealt four cards. For attack, you have options like default, rush, split, slow, and fake with a rotation. On defense, you can choose setups such as standard, stacking a site, or aggressive mid. Next to these, you'll see buy options: full buy, force, and eco. The game shows you what's within your means, but the final decision is yours. During the round, players act independently. You can control the playback speed, pause, and use a timeout to boost morale — but remember, you only get one per half. Between matches, focus on training skills, taking breaks to reduce tilt, and monitoring squad chemistry. A new signing will cost you nine points of chemistry, and the team may play weaker until everyone settles in. Important tips: the opponent learns your patterns and punishes repetitions, so vary your sites and styles. The side swap at round 13 flips the map, keeping your team at the bottom. The match is saved after each round, allowing you to continue from the same score if you reload.Game info
