A more entertaining second episode I think (what a perfect way to end the episode btw).
I have high hopes for the third and final episode.
You might even see the reveal of a certain character ;)

I feel a bit worried that such a ground breaking discovery will lead to a ep3 cliff hanger that rivals other animes.

Oh I can assure you that episode 3 will end on a cliffhanger. We'll just have to wait another year for season 2...

Great episode this week.

Lot of cool battles especially the one with Sun Xiang and Han Wenqing.

I love Su Mucheng, that reaction on Ye Xiu's face when he realized she was picking people out from the audience and she picked the two next to him on purpose. XD
Still it was nice to see both Tang and Ren play and win together.

Looks like Tang figured out Ye Xiu's true identity. Interested in what's gonna happen next.

Most people don't realize it however how smartly the staff handle budget cutting techniques is pretty impressive like usage of CGI, Still shots reusing footage seamlessly so the main animators can worry about the big set pieces.

To be honest, I liked episode 1 more than episode 2. Thought the mage battles and Wang Jiexi's plan was more interesting. Nevertheless, it was really satisfying to see Sun Xiang get defeated. Would have also been interesting to see Su Mucheng call Ye Qiu to the stage instead where his identity gets revealed to the entire crowd.

That ending though; I'm really hyped to see Ye Qiu finally reveal his identity. I bet the lady manager would continue to have no clue though lol.

So here is my problem:
In this episode we saw Rou Tang(aka little tang or xiao rou) notices that Ye Xiu is actually legendary Ye Qiu, but i do remember that in the 1st season Ep. 5 some guy named Hao Liu cames in net cafe and says omg it's god Yie and starts mocking him and Rou Tang was there and she realized that Ye Xiu is Ye Qiu ... so like wtf???
I mean i know it's different studio and the new studio want to do things and adaption in their own way(this is my best guess) but the real question is what's the case in the novel??? please explain it to me without any spoiler^__^

No, in episode 5 Liu Hao only mention that they are his subordinates and never mention about God Ye and Tang Rou is new to Glory so she doesnt realizes anything when Ye Xiu and Liu Hao talk about EE match. Also in novel Tang Rou only realizes that Ye Xiu is God Ye Qiu in All-Star Weekend

The battles in this show are always so nicely animated. Wished the 2nd half had more but I guess it's nice to have some of the main cast finally partake.

So, I'm a little confused Tang Rou says at the end "and, that Huang Shaotian just now is actually Flowing Tree, right". But he wasn't in the competition this episode and from what I recall he was only a spectator in episode 1. I'll definitely have to read the manhua sometime because there a lot characters to keep track of.

Huang Shaotian's game avatar did participate in this All-stars weekend. But the animators didn't fully animate his appearance. He was only shown as a still image lol :

Most likely due to budget constraints and to speed up the pacing.

yeah , but , it was understandable considered this was only 3 episode , if it was 4 episode , may be we can get more of that details..

but Tang Rou's reaction to watch all-star was a plus , I did not think it was shown at novel

Ahh right, I thing I thought was underwhelming was how they reveal Ye Xiu's identity.
Since the anime had no time, they only show the part of MuChen waving towards them and Wenqing saying Ye Xiu wouldn't miss if it was him in that situation.
The novel had much more foreshadowing where all the pros and crowds voiced out their thoughts of him all the time.
So yeah we didn't get the feeling of how great Ye Xiu achievements is or how big of a deal he was in the industry.
I just hope they do well for his debut and when GuoGuo found out his identity.
That is a magical moment so it better be good.

Holy frick, that ending literally made my day - the GOAT finally makes his appearance!!!

This series had so much potential after the 1st season, and it has only taken 2 OVAs to prove it. They even added a decent OP and ED. Goddamn, let's hope this series maintains this golden standard. Easily the best gaming/esports related series.

Only some pro players do know him, because he never played on stage.
The people that could spoil him are his "friends" just like Huang Shaotin and they know how much it meant to Ye Qui to stay undercover that's why they won't reveal him.

Well true, but that's why Ye got expelled from his old club. He never took any ads contracts, had none business values to his club, yet he can't guarantee championship to his club anymore. Thus he's not worthing it for the club anymore. Plus, hes an idealist which means he plays the game just to win, not for money and anything else, since he used to be the team leader of the club his thoughts may cause trouble to the business side of the club.

That being said, I'll explain Ye's undercover situation here. Ye was the first generation pro players in whole China based on the story background settings, which means at the beginning he has no fame amount the public just like other pro players, and the Novel was partially realistic so it adapted some of the Chinese society's real attitude towards e-sports in the 90s and the beginning of the 21st century: "gaming is not a profession, it's like gangsters." So at Ye's era, most of the players are anonymous. The idea of e-sports players are all famous are more recent, especially for Chinese, it starts to be like that way after 2012 I think, and the Novel itself was originated around 2011.

Of course, most of these background settings are explained in the Novel and another important reason HOW and WHY Ye kept his identity secret should be revealed in later seasons, so I shall not spoil that.

Ok now, this OP is actually great and exciting! I love the visuals! The ED is quite relaxing and pretty nice.

Sun Xiang might be skilled and yes he's using the Godly battlemage build, but he's too cocky to think he could defeat anyone, especially someone who has been rivals with Ye Qui himself. As said to Sun Xiang, he's still too green.

Tang figured out that Ye Xie is Ye Qiu and he even admitted it! Meanwhile, the dense boss lady still doesn't get it...
