Wait a goddamn minute! Cancel that PlayStation 5 launch, because there are more important matters to deal with on 12th November: Esports Life Tycoon is the latest from the team behind YouTuber’s Life, and it simulates the routine of a professional video game team. “Enjoy the everyday life of a professional esports team,” the blurb reads. “Manage your own squad, expand your gaming house, and defeat official esports teams to become the best manager in the world!”
As the press release mentions, you’ll be operating as a manager for your squad, so you’ll need to recruit the best rookie talent and also convince reigning champions to your join your roster. “Master champions, work on the team chemistry, analyse opponents... And do not skip breakfast! After all, the best teams are more than the sum of its parts, and teamplay (and a proper diet) is what separates a good team from a truly great one.”
As with YouTuber’s Life, you’ll start out with a single bedroom-based competitor, but work up the ranks and you’ll be able to purchase your own training space as your team takes on the best esports players in the world. “Psychologists, coaches, marketing managers… All sorts of professionals will join you on your path to glory!” Well, we sure know what we’re playing on 12th November now. What about you?

Mmmmm B.O. and Doritos.
B.O.ritos? Tastes like a professional gamer?
I'd rather walk through a crowd of covidiots maskless than play that. Never understood professional gaming. Doesn't benefit anybody except the participants and the sponsors.
@JON22 I mean... you could argue that sports only benefit the participants and the sponsors too?
@nessisonett That's why I don't like most sports as well, especially football. Overpaid **insert profanity here**. I only really watch the olympics and athletics. I earn peanuts while men (and women) in shorts chase a ball and get paid for it.
@JON22 well they do probably bring in a little more revenue than me or you...
But, @nessisonett B.O.ritos! Thats gold
@JON22 While yes, in theory I agree that footballers are overpaid, it’s by our own making as we’re the ones paying for Sky Sports and going to matches. I hate the argument that they’re just ‘chasing a ball’, it belittles the massive amount of effort, talent and plain old luck needed to even be paid a part-time wage as a footballer, never mind the big bucks.
@JON22 im 100% with ya on this. Its best if i just dont think about it, i get way too worked up lol drives me nuts
If esports life typhoon has a wide selection of officially licensed eXtreme office chairs dlc this amateur gamer is going to have a little giggle fit.
I never really liked sports, its watching others play while you could be playing the sports yourself. I played a lot of flag football and baseball in open lots as a kid. But unlike sports this is E-Sports.
E-sports is overwhelmingly PC only. To make pro level you have to put in your time that could amount to many years of playing and studying the game. Even a 100K prize is not much when its split between all the people making up the team. About as much as you would be paid working at McDonalds for a year. This game could be fun to a lot of people. I might even pick it up at some point myself.
@JON22 And I never understood Soccer, Basketball, Chess and other sports that people watch. I guess it is entertaining to see who has the better skills.
So the same is with E-Sports.
As for gaming people like to watch others react to games they played and liked. Also if you can't afford the game or the console etc. you can watch it like a movie.
@nessisonett Don't forget the mountain dew. 🧐💵
Jesus why so negative towards esports? Just accept its not for you and don’t cry about it 😂
I’ll wait and see for reviews as to how good the game is, and maybe try later down the line.
God, its a game people. At this point can you at least be positive towards a video game if you can’t be positive in the real world
This is just weird. Playing a game about people playing games - too meta for me!
I really don’t understand the mindset of people here who think they are above things like e-sports or football. Just accept it’s not for you and move on. Enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they enjoy.
@JON22
Esports has a huge following and is a growing industry. As for footballers they have been training since before they were teens. They have balanced education and football. At any point an injury can end their career, some even before it starts. Many will not make it to a big team and the lower league clubs pay is significantly less. A football career is generally over by mid 30's and then they need to find other work or live off the money they have already earned. In another job they would be working for another 30 years earning money until they were 65+.
@PeterN80 surely its more rewarding to start a business too?
