About CSM
What is CSM?
CSM is a free-to-play web-based e-sport team management simulation game. Build your dream team from scratch, manage transfers, train players, compete in leagues and tournaments, and climb the ranks from amateur divisions to the Premier League.
Whether you are a seasoned manager or new to the genre, CSM offers deep strategic gameplay with realistic simulation mechanics. Manage your team's budget, negotiate sponsorships, upgrade your arena facilities, and develop young talent through our academy system. Every decision matters — from picking your starting lineup to planning your transfer strategy over multiple seasons.

About the Game
CSM is built entirely by volunteers as a passion project. Matches are simulated automatically with realistic, competitive gameplay outcomes. All players — including yours — are virtual players with individual skill ratings, roles, and personalities.
The game features a persistent world where thousands of teams compete simultaneously across multiple continents. Leagues update in real-time, match results generate automatically, and the season progresses week by week. Premium subscriptions are optional and provide quality-of-life benefits such as unlimited nickname changes and analytics access — they do not affect competitive balance.
The World
CSM spans three continents — Europe, Americas, and Asia/Oceania — each with its own league pyramid. Teams are organized into five tiers, from the Premier League at the top down to amateur divisions at the bottom. At the end of each season, teams are promoted or relegated based on their standings.
Each regular season spans 8 weeks with teams playing 30 matches. The Major Championship crowns the best teams from all tiers and divisions in cross-continent single-elimination tournaments with tier-scaled prize pools.
