Question 1

What is CS Legends?

Accepted Answer

CS Legends is a free Counter-Strike manager game played in your browser. You take over a club, train five players, draw your own tactics on the real maps and watch your matches play out live in 2D, round by round, against other managers.

Question 2

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CS Legends is free to play and nothing in it can be bought with real money. The game currency, C$L, only exists inside the game.

Question 3

Do I play the matches myself?

Accepted Answer

No, you manage. Matches are played by the server in MR12, first to 13 rounds, with overtime and no draw. The result comes from your active roster, their skills and roles, your tactics, your economy, form, fitness, morale, equipment and team chemistry.

Question 4

When are matches played, and can I watch them?

Accepted Answer

League matches start at 20:00 Paris time, Monday to Friday. Each one is played live in 2D, round by round, for about half an hour, and every finished match can be watched again as a 2D replay.

Question 5

How does the league work?

Accepted Answer

Divisions hold 20 clubs. A season lasts 9 weeks: 38 matchdays on weekdays, then a week without League matches. The top two of each division go up and the bottom four go down, up to Division 1337 at the top. New levels open as managers fill the pyramid.

Question 6

How do I improve my players?

Accepted Answer

Seat each player in the training room of the skill he needs. Training runs every night at 00:00: young and talented players progress faster, a trainer speeds the room up, and League matches and praccs add progress of their own.

Question 7

How do transfers work?

Accepted Answer

List a player with a minimum price and auctions run for 48 hours. At least 50 free agents are always on sale. A bid takes the money at once and gives it back if someone outbids you; the winning player joins the club 48 hours after the close.

Question 8

Is CS Legends affiliated with Valve or Counter-Strike?

Accepted Answer

No. CS Legends is an independent fan-made manager game. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with or sponsored by Valve Corporation.
