IGL: In Game Leader
You don't pull the trigger - you make the calls. IGL puts you in the coach's chair: draft a roster, design your strategies in a 3D editor, and outsmart human or AI rivals in a real time tactical sim. Your team fights. You decide how.

You make the calls. They make the plays.
IGL is a 3D tactical esports coaching sim. You make the call, you don't micro - read the round, call the strategy, and watch your team execute it on the server. The fight is theirs. The plan is yours.
// Execute your strategies
Make the call.
This is the moment. Pull up the Strategy panel, commit to a play, and your team runs it in real time - they execute, smokes, flashes, and grenades. You're the voice in their ear, reading the round a step ahead of the other coach.
// Build your strategy book
See the round before it happens.
Place attackers and defenders, drop smokes, flashes, grenades, and custom waypoints across the map. Save your plays, chain them into a deep strategy book, and call them mid-match. The deeper your book, the harder you are to predict.
// Your roster
Twenty-eight attributes. Five egos. One trust meter.
Every player is tracked across twenty-eight attributes, from Aim and Recoil Control to Leadership and Tactical IQ. Underneath runs a split-trust system: each player carries a Relationship with the team and an in-game Momentum. Lose a player's trust and they'll ignore your call and improvise. Burn out your star and watch their form crater. You manage people, not just positions.
// Set your team up for success
Play to their strengths, gamble on their ceiling.
Insane with shotguns? Build around it. Need a glass cannon? Have your sniper buy one if that's all they can afford. Custom builds let you tailor every player's buy to the way they actually play. Listen to your players, equip them with what they know best, and watch them carry the game.
// The long season
Legends are made over seasons, not rounds.
Persistent rosters. Contracts. Form. Rivalries. A transfer market with real negotiation - trade with the offline AI, or cut deals with real opponents online. Your academy prospect grows into a star, or a rival org poaches him out from under you.
// Competitive to the core
Ranked is where the best coaches compete.
Full online ranked play, with a persistent online world where you trade and negotiate against real coaches. A complete offline solo career when you want to build in peace. Custom lobbies with friends, spectators and a broadcast camera for the people who love watching esports as much as playing it. Climb the ladder. Run your team.
