THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So, Episode 12 wasn't anything too epic of a conclusion. I guess they just wanted to end on a safe note.

That being said, I like the human touch and the slice of life moment in the 1st half. Su Mucheng was especially cute sleeping on Ye Xiu's shoulders! I also like that Ye Xiu didn't realize he had actually gathered a future team until Huang Shaotian highlighted it, and he thought of it as a nice idea.

In the 2nd half, we get to see the pro team of Tyrannical Ambition in action (I think it's called Tyrannical World) fighting against Ye Xiu, and a glimpse into Ye Xiu and Han WenQing's (the captain of Tyrannical World) past nine years ago. And a glimpse into the esports component! I think it was a nice touch :)

Also, there is a post-credit scene in this episode, so don't miss it! It is a hint to Ye Xiu's future pro team attire :D

And for those wondering whether this is getting a 2nd season, yes! At the end before the post-credit scene, there's a thumbnail that says "See you next season!" It just didn't say when though :/ But that being say, I'm definitely looking forward to season 2 because season 1 ended in a way that leaves me wanting for more. I'm not satisfied that it ended just like that, so looking forward to next season (as well as the OVA which I got word from the Chinese side)!

P.S. Oh, I forgot to mention the OP was sung by a different singer near the end of this episode!

Mod Edit: Modified title for clarity and/or easier searching.

I am actually pretty happy about the little plot change here, although I do want to point out Tyranny and Excellent Era fought in the finals of Season 2 not Season 1...I guess they want to make it more dramatic.

It's very sad news that the next season will be done by another company. Fxxking capitalists.

The fight scene and flashback were superb.
Really like this episode.

As for season 2, there's this:

"“不出意外的话,《全职高手》明年一定会有第二季。”

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be a second season next year."

this is the source (not sure if it's reliable):

P.S. - The raw episode is available on youtube and dailymotion.

Source is from the bilibili comments. The Chinese know their stuff, so I'm pretty sure they can be trusted.

Release date is unknown, but as for content, this is what from what I heard, but it'll probably have something to do with Christmas. There's also rumors that it might be the All-Stars event, but nothing is truly confirmed as of yet.

Btw can any source reader tell me if ye qiu doesn't intend to form a squad with tang rou/bao zi/yi fan etc etc on their first meeting and the idea only pop into his head when pointed out by shao tian as depicted in this episode?

I tot when ye qiu meet tang rou and saw the potential in her he was already planning to rope all these "buddies" to be his new squad mates.

He isn't even sure whether Tang and Baozi are interested in professional competition at this time since they are merely just acquaintance.
Yifan belongs to another team so again there is no guarantee at all for now.
So..yes, Ye doesn't really have any plan about his squad at this point.

The OVA was hinted by Butterfly Blue(the writer) on his Weibo during the beginning of the season. "After watching the first three episode of the season, I am now to looking forward to the OVA."

A perfect ending of the season for such brilliant anime, I am very satisfied for what I got and it has been a wonderful experience to see my favorite novel made into something great.

I am so pissed that YueWen decided to change studio so they can rush out the season 2 in next years! Eventhough I did hope to see season 2 faster but not under the risk of changing art style and quality drop just because they want to change the whole production team !!!

Season 2 better maintain their quality cuz I hate to drop this anime for a stupid decision made by the capitalist.

Wonderful episode. Su Mucheng sleeping on Ye Xiu's shoulders was cute. He didn't realized he gathered such a great team. Huang Shaotian had to remind him of that. Members from Tyrannical World started to fight Ye Xiu. One of them was a rival to him. Got to see a bit of their past. The fight was very cool. Looking forward for the second season.

Goddammit, this episode was great.

It was obvious for the viewers that Ye Qui was gathering an Esport teams. But it's cool to see that Ye Qui didn't even think about that, since he was always playing Glory for fun. So seeing him training people who he sees potential without any plans to form a team is really cool. Something I don't see often in real life when playing games. Since people are often ignorant. So another +1 for Ye Qui's character.

Mucheng and Ye Qui scene was quiet cute, especially when Mucheng says it sounds disgusting when Ye Qui calls her Mu Mu :'D

Han's rivalry with Ye Qui was really cool and emotional aswell and a nice way to end the season.

A bit sad that we didn't see much of the third master tactician. But they did well for a 12 episode anime/donghua(or whatever people call it these days). So I'm not disappointed. They showed enough to let us picture what kinda person he is.

A bit sad we got weird McDonald adds implemented unnaturally in their past episodes, while they could've implemented it in this final episode more naturally :p It feels as if they didn't like to put Mcdonald adds, but were forced to do it because of Mcdonald being the sponsor! The foods looks delicious though in this episode!

Overall a 7 for me. The anime has flaws, but:
What they did well > their flaws.

The reason why it's a 7 instead of a 6 for me is because I enjoyed the anime/donghua alot. My enjoyment is an 8, the first few episodes being a 7, but they made the anime/donghua better and better so it became an 8 in the end.

That's why my final verdict will be a 7.

I wish the next studio alot of luck. Hope they will do an even better job. It would be sad if the new studio get alot of hate, because of the high expectations after this season.

LOL I'm about to start reading the novel now that's a nice image to take with me. I always knew the anime beautified characters so they fit more in line with mainstream's expectation of handsome and accomplished people. Still hilarious now I'm looking forward to reading the novel even more to discover what else the anime corrected xD.

Now that was quite the ending, a draw leading up to an upcoming fight in another season.

I like how he made a team with his work colleagues and the others he has met.

Can't wait for him to destroy his former team.

That was a great finale, and I must say that seeing the GOD run into his old main rival(s) and also having a match with them was really cool to see and I CANNOT WAIT to see when he eventually goes back into competitive play

Looks like he's gonna make a team with his current friends (Which I'm 100% behind) so seeing them form and enter the E-Sports league together is gonna be a lot of fun. And speaking of his friends, best girl, is she and Ye actually dating each other or were they just playfully flirting there

Great finale.

I loved the part where Su Mucheng was sleeping on Ye Xiu's shoulders. That was such a sweet scene. <3

Shaotian hinting that Ye Xiu should form his competitive team with the members he's gathered, that was nice and I would totally love to see Grim compete with his current squad.

So Grim runs into his old rival from his competitive days, the captain of Tyrannical Ambition's pro team. Their fight was really cool and the integration of their flashback into it was a very nice touch. I'd love to see more of Grim's past and how he came up in the World of Glory. I hope we get to see some of the old competitive matches in the future.

Overall, the best if not the only good Chinese anime I've seen till date. The story is nice and the take on video game culture and E-sports is also pretty cool to see. Characters are really likable and kinda charming in a way, I totally ship Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng. The action was seriously awesome and I love the trash talk that happens during the fights. As a whole, this was a really enjoyable and entertaining series and I do hope to see more. Really looking forward to seeing Ye Xiu make a name with his new team in the competitive Glory world.

9/10, can't wait for S2.

Well, yet another fascinating episode to end things off the first season. Highlights of the episode, in my opinion include the scene between Su Mucheng sleeping on Ye Xiu's shoulder during the first half and the exhilarating fight between the great two rivals, Han Wenqing and Ye Xiu, coupled with the glimpses of their past. 👌
By the way, rumors say that season 2 will be out in early 2018 with a different company in charge.

Shaotian is right, Ye Xiu should build a team with Bun, Soft Mist, Yi Fan and Mucheng (and the guy with glasses that helped them in the previous episode). The battle against Tyrannical was great, I really liked the flash back, it was so epic!
And that ending with Ye Xiu with his new uniform!!

This is the first chinese anime I've watch and I loved it!!! It was interesting since it's not centered on characters trapped in a game but on e-sports, there were action, good characters... And this was a good episode for the final, I was so happy when I saw there'll be a second season!!! I look forward to it!!

This was really a good season, I enjoyed it a lot!! Even if there were some flaws in the animation, I think the art is really beautiful, the action scenes were well done, I also like the music. Characters are badass (Lord Grim, Bun, Shaotian, Wang Jiexi, Blue Rain's Captain...) In short, this anime is great! (Just sad we couldn't see Samsara's captain in action, but I hope it will be the case in the next season).
