    Very good Esports simulator. they inserted in the option menu an english translation for those who are wondering if this can be played in english. to Enable English Language. In the Main Menu hit the 2nd Option then when your in the Options menu scroll to the bottom and hit the last choice to English to enable english language.

    I bought this game yesterday and already have 9.4 hours played on it. That should tell you how much I've been enjoying this. It's a great little game if you are a fan of both esports and management sims. Moreso if you follow the pro League of Legends scene. Pros + Very colourful, user-friendly design. + A surprising amount of game features to keep you busy. [Player skills, talent trees, coaching, counselling, building upgrades, hiring staff, PR, streaming, sponsorship, etc] + The pick/ban…

    This game is pretty mediocre. 1) if you don't play and follow League of Legends E-sports, most of the references and most of the "quiz" items that show up every evening will be impossible. The obvious champion list and pro-player names line up 1:1 with League, as does the map. 2) the translation is awful, and worse, many of the text areas are truncated. Sentences (even important ones for some of the quiz items) are cut off and you can't finish reading them, although trying to read them is…

    I think it's an okay game. Simple game , not too deep. It's something that we always play before , just that they change the concept to MOBA feelings. I wish to have a game like this but deeper gameplay. Challenge is fun :)) 好きですよ!。 楽しいね

    As of this review i'm 15 hours in the game and I just completed the pro cup. My compy specs are: i5-4460 3.2ghz, 16gb RAM, GeForce GTX 980, Win 10. As a disclaimer i'd like to say i'm a complete casual to the moba genre. I played LoL and DOTA for a couple years a long time ago and some of the newer mobas like Smite but, i've never really been into it. As such I know nothing about bans/picks or moba startegy in general. However, i'm a hardcore vet of strategy, simulation, and management games…

    A very nice little game but very unpolished. This game was clearly made in Chinese and then translated to English. You will find many sentences cut off midway because the boxes arent big enough and no scroll down. It is a shame really, I do enjoy it and I think that if it was moddable it couldve become something much greater. Also it seems they force you to do the tutorial every time you start the a new game -_- no way to disable it. Seriously?

    In this game, you are the manager of an esports club and the game your players play is basically League of Legends. When your team is in a match, you control the draft and can make some small makro decisions. the concept was interresting, however the game itself disappointed me. The english translation is really badly done and the balancing is rather unfair as well. The game gets boring pretty quickly. Unless you can speak chinese and are a masochist i cant recommend this game at all.

    Saw mixed reviews but decided to give it a try. Now, before this I don't know if this is based in another esports management game because I haven't played others. Now into the game, the game captures the vibes of a known "legends" game, for example I picked to start playing in season 1-3 and immediately I recognized made up names that hinted retired "pro" gamers from the same game. It feels almost like a mobile game but in a good way, it is chill and calm, perfect for playing just to relax at…

    If this game combined with Teamfight Manger it would be incredible for an indie game. T.M. has an amazing draft and battle system, but a very poor player/team management system. Esports Legend has the opposite issue. It gives a lot of options and clear stats for player improvement, but the drafting is not very fun at all in comparison. No abilities, ults, counters, or any other unique features for individual champs. The only depth comes from managing 5 team stats that champions can add and/or…

    Lacks depth. Fun game for $5 but anything over that is a bad deal. Obvious League of Legends references. Main complaint is that champion pools don't develop and there are not many "new" heroes released through the game.

    This is actually a very good game. Its a simulator version of how to run an eSports team in League of Legends. There is plunty of content management tools to run your team and you interact with the team during the match. And what you do during the match does impact the outcome! The only loss I have so far in this game is a mistake I made and not what the trained AI did. Played this thing for 10 hours now and have not lost interest. There are some translation mistakes and missed…

    This is not an eSports sim, it’s a League of Legends eSports sim. All of the players and even some of the coaches/management are named and designed based off of people who are in the LoL esports community. All of the in game champions are hilarious parodies of the champions in the actual LoL game. There is champion mastery, and this game even goes as far as to link each pro player with their favorite champions in real life! But as much as a fan as I am of LoL eSports & this game, it has its…

    Honestly after reading the one review that told me i could get this game in English translated, and seeing the champions based of league of legends characters, i started to fall in love with the game n enjoyed the simple buttons to change the strategy of my team and the ease at managing my team and how they go about their business. If you love league, you will probly enjoy this more than most, but if you're a dota player, you're probly not as likely to enjoy it.

    The AI of this game is just horrendous, only the A part is present and the I part is completely missing. I'd say it's probably written by some drunken high school student as weekend homework and he's very lazy too so months after the release there's still no improvement at all. I mean come on, please just spend two hours of your day to add a few lines of if then else into your code, for instance if there are more enemies than allies then don't go forward, if all enemies are pushing mid then…

    Good concept but poor execution. You cannot control the RNG in this game and will lose randomly without knowing how to improve your team so you just come back grinding stats days by days hoping that it'll work. Just play eSport Godfather, better game in every aspects.

    This game has decent bones and could be a lot of fun as an e-sports sim... but... It is not fully localised (Chinese is still in random menus and the other places). The tutorial forces you do do things that you would not do in a normal situation. Every "night" of the game has a trivia question which will help or hinder you in the game (nothing about the game btw). Anytime you play a tournament or a game it will always progress to the next day, leaving you with the reduced vigour even though…

    Whem a DOTA noob like me, learn to management a DOTA team, and it's fun! This is probably the first good e-sport management so far, not the best of course, but everything work. Each player have status, skills, roles, and profession to play in what character. Selecting what character to play is very tactical, with the right combination you get extra buff, and sometime selecting or banning character that the other team is proficient is also very satisfy to break their combo. While the battle…

    One of the better Esports simulators out there. Building your team, finding the right strategies and grinding for resources is well done. Plus the Pick/Ban phase is surprisingly deep and fun. The translation is a bit lackluster though and the tutorial will sometimes break your game.

    Nothing to do after the first 20 minutes. You find yourself in a routine of going to a game, training and researching and going back to game. If they added a time speed control you could easly finish this game in 1 hour. Now it takes few more hours. Little to no strategy in this game. It is bassicly an resource mangement game nothing more. No strategic depth in the played tournaments. You can just run anything you want and you will always win aslong as your team is better than the enemy. Even…

    Adding a positive take to hopefully try and balance out the "mixed" reviews. Esports legend is a strangely addictive esports simulator that, after the first hour of tutorial, becomes surprisingly deep and engaging. A sort of hybrid of a football manager, fallout shelter and a standard moba (heavily inspired by League of Legends), you play the manager of an esports team trying to make it to the big leagues. The "game" within the game is constantly getting patched as you train up your team,…

    Pretty good little sim that captures quite well how MOBAS work. The EN translation is not always perfect, but gets the job done. Also, the writing has some nice humor to it. Oh, and the whole game is strongly based on the eSports scene of LoL, so if that is your thing, you will like it even more because of the parallels and references. Overall, I was honestly quite impressed and really don't understand why some people seem to dislike the game. Sure, it is no factorio/paradox game in…
