I don't follow eSports but I play a bit of mmo so this was why I picked it up.

I'm glad I gave this a shot because it's so good. The plot is interesting and the show doesn't feel episodic, which would have been so easy for them to do. The game "Glory" looks quite tough and requires tactics and skill.

I'm never bored watching them playing the games - The CGI is amazing and it feels like I'm in the game. It's well animated and the music keeps the energy up.

The characters all have a background story and I really like that they develop them quite well. Rivals are friends and there are so many touching scenes. It's about a ragtag team that is trying to win.


There's no romance which I find so refreshing. It's all about personal growth. The Ye Qiu's childhood friendship is the most touching one.

Acting: really well done. I'm shocked that I don't mind Yang Yang (I found him lacking in Love O2O and this was the reason why I was hesitant to start this drama). I think he has improved with this acting since Love O2O. Also, this drama is dubbed -which may have contributed to the decent acting. I did not figure that this was dubbed until Shao Tian's voice did not match his lips (he speaks really fast). I really should have but it's been a while since I've watched Love O2O . I don't know if this helped with the acting, but they were really good voice actors.

I have not read the webnovel or watched any of the anime.

The reason why this drama is just shy of being perfect, they have made some questionable choices. I think these poor choices were made to make Ye Qiu more godly (because he saves the day). However, it's at the expense of the other characters, which ends up looking quite... dumb. I felt some of the behind the scenes conflicts could have been avoided by just calming down and thinking for a bit.
