It is possible to change team and player names using a visual database editor such as SQLite Browser.

You can choose to modify your current save or the "root save" database, which LIGA Esports Manager uses as the foundation for generating new game saves.

This method will only affect your current save and not future saves.

Your current save is located in:

%APPDATA%\LIGA Esports Manager\saves\save_1.db

The number increases with each additional save.

This method will not affect your current save but will ensure new and subsequent saves will automatically include your modificatons.

Run the following in a PowerShell terminal window.

cd $env:APPDATA'\LIGA Esports Manager'
mkdir custom\saves
cp saves\save_0.db custom\saves\save_0.db

In the next step you will be modifying the custom save you've just created:

%APPDATA%\LIGA Esports Manager\custom\saves\save_0.db

Launch SQLite Browser and open up the save of your choosing.

Once the database loads, click on the "Browse Data" tab and switch to the "Team" table by using the "Table" dropdown.

This will give you a table view of the team's tabular data.

In LIGA Esports Manager, there are 5 divisions that teams are grouped into. The higher a team's tier, the better. So if you would like to modify just the team names in the Premier division, you would only modify the teams with a tier level of 4.

Clicking on the "tier" column sorts the teams from highest to lowest tier. You can also filter teams by a specific tier value by entering the desired number in the textbox beneath the column header.

For example, to display only the teams in the Premier division, type in =4 in the filter textbox under the tier column header.

To change a team's name, double click on the name field to open up the editor and change their name.

Once you're happy with the changes, click on "Apply" and then "Write Changes".

Adding custom team logos works very much the same way as modding the team names.

The first thing to do is to create a "blazonry" folder within the app's "custom" folder.

Run the following in a PowerShell terminal window.

cd $env:APPDATA'\LIGA Esports Manager'
mkdir custom\blazonry

Now place your custom logos within the custom\blazonry folder.

Launch SQLite Browser and open up the custom save created in the previous step.

Once the database loads, click on the "Browse Data" tab and switch to the "Team" table by using the "Table" dropdown.

To change a team's logo, double click on the blazon field to open up the editor and change the path to your custom logo:

custom://blazonry/compLexity.svg

Once you're happy with the changes, click on "Apply" and then "Write Changes".

In LIGA Esports Manager every team is part of one of two federations.

When making changes to the database, such as when changing the country of a team, it is important to keep the balance of the Federations and only re-assign a country within the same Federation.

You can run the following query directly in SQLite Browser to get the list of countries within a federation or use the table below.

SELECT
    c.id AS countryId,
    c.name AS countryName
FROM
    Country c
JOIN
    Continent co ON c.continentId = co.id
JOIN
    Federation f ON co.federationId = f.id
WHERE
    f.name = 'Electronic Sports Europa';
