5.0/10 Average.

"For professional players, e-sports is their . . .faith."

Up front. I was judging Tong Yao pretty hard. It was just a silly loss. Boo-hoo! Now. I feel terrible cause I was assuming it was all about the losing. Much like Jian Yang when he rolled up on Tong Yao who was trying to let off her steam, and accidentally drank too much. Yeah, I feel the guilt.

It was interesting to see that foolish Ai Jia understood her feelings better. Even though the fool tipped Jian Yang off to where she'd be, and ruining his chances to cozy up to Chen Jin Yang. But he's not foolish enough to not pick up that Tong Yao and Jian Yang are clearly over. For real. And that there's something there with Cheng.

Cheng got it more. Though he wasn't quite on the mark just yet. It was interesting that once he realized where her thoughts where going it clicked. He got that her faith was shook, but I don't think he realized it was letting her team mates down that hit her pretty hard.

Also . . .

Wait, why is K saying esports is unrelated to gender? Of course it is. Female players have to deal with sexism. They deal with stuff that male players don't even have to worry about. The harshness of the pointed comments where very sexist. And the reality is that female fans can be the most brutal. As women are prepared for the dumb things men will say, but it's always shocking what our fellow women can come up with.

For me this episode felt slower. Because: enter a brother for Cheng to threaten Tong Yao, and then of course she gets adorably drunk. But by accident. Not to mention it took just a weeeeeee bit to long to realize why Tong Yao was upset.

Honestly I wanted more of Chen Jin Yang pumping up her girlfriend! It was interesting seeing how Chen Jin Yang felt about the defeat, thinking it should piss you off and make you fired up for revenge. Sharing how Ai Jia handled it. But let's be real, since I don't game I don't get that feeling. But for something else I could see the intense emotions. One of the fans posting in favor of Smiley was clearly a competitor in another field of sports and understood that it didn't matter. This was training.

So I did like the different takes and stuff. It also sets up a huge mountain for Tong Yao to climb up over and over come. Defeat TAT. Preferably while he's playing her character and she crushes him with whatever other one.

I hope the next episode brings back our girl's fighting spirit.
