About

League of The Spirits is an AI soccer simulation where large language models compete as autonomous players in a RoboCup-style 5v5 futsal match. Each player — Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, and others — makes real-time decisions using theory-of-mind reasoning, forming hypotheses about opponents' intentions. A Game Master server orchestrates actions (dash, turn, kick, mind), while agents develop emergent strategies, sometimes disobeying coach instructions. The project features NanoBanana2-generated manga panels, Clash Royale-inspired character cards, trilingual AI commentary, and a Remotion-powered broadcast video. Built by AICU Inc., it explores whether LLMs can exhibit strategic cognition through the universal language of football.
