Draft & Win: Esports Manager

Half of every match is decided before it starts.

You begin as manager of a rookie team in Division 3. At the ban-pick table you read your opponent's lineup, and at every fork in the match you choose a tactic card to swing momentum. The goal: climb the leagues all the way to the Grand Final.

■ HALF THE MATCH IS WON IN THE DRAFT
100 champions with new pixel-art portraits, 20 per lane, form counter cycles within each lane. Answer the opponent's pick, or ban the card that scares you. Add cross-lane synergies and your composition score weighs on every roll of the match. There is no throwaway pick.

■ YOU DON'T JUST WATCH
Laning, Dragon, macro, team fight, mentality — five checks in a row. Before Dragon, macro and team fight the broadcast pauses and three tactic cards appear. Join the Dragon fight or hit the opposite tower? Take vision first or push an empty lane? You have 4 focus points to split across three decisions, and the right composition unlocks new tactics. An unprepared tactic gets read by the opponent. In BO3 and BO5, every set starts again from the draft.

■ FROM DIVISION 3 TO THE GRAND FINAL
Play a double round-robin; the top 4 reach the playoffs. Two teams are promoted and two relegated every season, and winning Division 1 opens an 8-team invitational. Balance patches land mid-season and at season end, so yesterday's tier-1 pick becomes today's trap.

■ BUILDING THE TEAM
Scout prospects, haggle in the transfer market, choose a weekly training program and set each player's focus stat and intensity. Upgrade facilities and hire coaches to change growth speed; an analyst reads the opponent's strategy and a psychologist looks after squad condition. Each season's sponsor is fixed, performance-based or challenge — a challenge deal pays big for a title and costs a penalty for relegation.

■ THE OWNER WON'T WAIT
Every season brings a target that fits your squad's strength. Hit it and next season's budget grows; miss it and you get a warning, and two in a row means you're fired. If funds fall below the bankruptcy line, the club is sold. Injuries, slumps and contract talks that vary by player personality keep coming, and every choice stays on record.
